Kat Nice peas, potatoes cirsp and brown, chicken in even chunks with a nice bite. Dave It has just the right amount of ‘bite’. Peas were confusing. Authentic dish. Jenny Very flavourful, potatoes were good. Julie I liked the chicken pieces. Well-balanced with texture in the rice. Lots of flavour and potatoes are well-cooked. Praneeta I would buy this.
2 WOOLWORTHS Chicken biryani with raita, Cape Malay style 350g, R59.99
Emil Chicken soft. Onions not crispy. Need to spice it up a bit. Ballin Good appearance, it needs salt and could do with more spices and chicken. Cheryl Good appearance but too few lentils and too many potatoes. Jenny Chicken was well-flavoured. Rest of the dish, rice and potatoes, lacking. Roy Lacking in flavour but minted raita a nice touch.

Nomvuyiso This tastes more like a bad stew with poor seasoning.
Thabisile The potatoes are a luminous yellow colour. Marcel No authentic flavour, I would not buy it. Trudie Sauce gone wrong. There’s a plastic taste and potato is awful. Kitso The potatoes are unpleasant, undercooked and a weird colour.
