Biryani is one of my all time fave foods. I tend to prefer the southern styles which isn’t easily available outside of south India. Which is why Kolapasi’s Vijayawada style biryani really hits the spot for me. Other faves in the Bay Area: Dindigul Thalappakatti (Milpitas), Appakadai (Sunnyvale and Dublin) #Food #IndianFood #BayArea

Cleaning staff: Indonesian woman named Wayan who’s been scrubbing toilets for five years and still can’t afford to take her kid to the doctor without selling her phone. But sure. “Locally staffed.”
