Dharani Woburn

My first visit to Dharani in Woburn wasn't exactly a success. Armed with a Groupon+ for 50% off I decided to give them a second try. I really like the Groupon+ deals. No coupons, just a cash back as soon as your card is run.



They took over the space where Tanner Tavern had resided. On street parking only but there is now a communal lot across the street.



Sorry for the picture quality, my camera phone decided to switch over to jpeg without telling me. The inside is nice, but it was freezing cold today at lunch.



They now have a lunch menu that isn't available on their website. What is available is a dirty tablecloth and a stained menu. You have a choice of veg or non-veg appetizer. The same goes for the curries. Choice of either Naan, Rice or yogurt rice. Prices are $10.95-$12.95 depending on your choice of protein. The full menu is not available at lunchtime.



It must have been windy yesterday. You also get leftover papad.



The waitress kept on asking if I wanted veg or non-veg appetizer without telling me what they were. Turns out, it was either a cauliflower dish or Chicken Chili. This is what arrived, and it could have been the main dish, it was soo big. Turns out it was delicious! The dark meat chicken was tender, and the chili sauce was pleasant. Not overly hot but very tasty.



I went with the Lamb Curry South Indian Style (I have no clue what this means) with rice. The lamb was mostly tender, and that was a good thing since you don't get a knife unless you ask for it. Mild, medium or hot? Hot, of course, and it was a little bit spicy. It was very tasty but a bit on the sweet side. The rice was fragrant and fluffy. You get a minuscule napkin.



Then a dish of Biryani arrives as a surprise. There is a big chunk of dark chicken hiding at one o'clock. This was excellent, well seasoned and it packed a bit of heat as well. What a nice surprise this was. Despite a few drawbacks, this was an excellent and tasty lunch. I can't get over the appetizer that was the size of an entree.
