These days, there's a 45-min average queue time for this dish here. The key reason is price. They sell this at least $2-$3 cheaper than most places. All the attendant notes are there; the rice is fluffy enough and is rendered with enough spices and the mutton (the best seller) comes not overly soft but with some bite as some would like it to be. Their dhal leans more like a curry with sweet notes and pairs well with the savoury spicy rice. They offer chicken in a sweetish masak merah sauce and fried masala fish. Overall, their version feels a degree more to the Malay style briyani flavours.

The little old macik (aunty) fries up her chicken and fish fresh on site and packs it immediately into those ubiquitous triangle packs, line in front of her stall. No big deal until you realize this is so similar to the Malaysian style. A rich, yet wet sambal with spicy sweet and tamarind tones. The basmati rice was easy on coconut milk and has a moreish savory stock sensation. It tastes very unlike the usual bold, rich coconutty versions common in Singapore.
