It should just never be applied, no matter how meticulous the application is. It costs them pennies for that much leaf and they probably tack on $100 to the bill for it. And it looks like hell to boot, always.

That platter feeds a lot of people, I think it's nice for a special occasion. Plus the ingredients like saffron and pomegranate are top tier. I'd say worth it!! They way he slapped that gold on there wasn't very impressive though.

I was telling my chef the other day that if management really wanted a bunch of pretentious dishes on the menu to fabricate a "luxury" dining experience, why not just cover everything in gold leaf. Easy. That Dubai restaurant obviously doesn't understand the sarcasm.

The difference is for 270 you get 50 dollars worth of food and 15 dollars worth of edible gold foil! What a bargain! But I guess it's for the experience!

I love how everyone just stares at you what the restaurants 😂

the gold leaf cost at most 85 dollars per 500 sheets i counted 18 so gold adds very little cost to the meal

If I ever order that Briyani plate I would tell them to excuse the edible gold

Mike and biryani my two most favorite things In the world

Mike visisting local kitchens arround the world are the best Videos of his. Love this one. In my opinion its more enjoyable to Watch then the expensives buffets and stuff

I love Mikey's enthusiasm towards it

I think the Biryani plate looked so amazing right before the gold went in. Agreed with you, it is just and stravaganza item in Dubai but sad to see all that gold turned into poop at the end of it all ---LOL. Wonder if they will sell the plate without the gold or allow you to take the gold home with you instead, it looks like a feast for the palet.

Just an extra information- The biriyani from SS biriyani is not the only tamil biriyani. It's one of the many. The SS biriyani is a Chennai style biriyani made with Basmati rice. In the south,(Madurai. Where I'm originally from) biriyani is made from a rice called 'Seeraga Samba' in which the size of the rice is smaller and its packed with flavours. There are also other varieties of biriyani available around Tamilnadu. You should definitely visit Tamilnadu(especially Madurai the food capital) once!!

The biryani looks amazing! Would love to try it😍 edible gold is pretty pointless in my opinion doesn’t taste like anything but you pay so much for it 🥲

I liked the look of the biryani before the gold

Such an interesting dish! Not sure I would be into the gold but it does look pretty. Loved all the combinations!

I think gold foil on food can be pretty when used as a highlight, but I gotta agree with folks here that they were just slapping that shit on like kraft singles lol.

Soooo loving seeing you abroad again!! Missed this!

Haha I thought $272 was expensive for the dish, but when Mike mentioned there is a $1000 gold sundae in New York, the $272 for a huge platter of biryani doesn't seem that bad 😂😂

Sorry Mike. I know it's for content but anything with edible gold puts me off. There's absolutely no reason to put gold on food. All that food isn't worth $276 in my opinion.

Count the amount of times he adjusts and taps the camera WHILE recording in EVERY video lol!

Everything looked DELICIOUS! 😋 Safe Journey! CHOLULA!!!

The mistake I will not make is seeing these dishes as simple when compared to the Depth of FLAVOR.😍😋 I need to find a place in my neighborhood that makes Biryani today! Cheers!!! One complaint... Usually, when they have some GLAM-Expensive dish, like a super expensive pizza or whatever... there are really expensive ingredients added (like caviar or truffle..). Nothing "extras" on this dish, the food itself stands on its own... looking Fabulously delicious. Slapping on the gold sheets didn't take it to the next level for me. I guess, I was expecting some kind of OH-LA-LA art with the gold. Food that is made 5star level should not apologize for their prices when they are truly worth it. Cheers again!!

Tendon is one of my favorites in soups

Forget the gold. imagine if all those sheets were pieces of cheese.
