Second subway especially the chicken teriyaki sub . Not worth the hype …

I think Akbar’s is okay for some dishes but others taste like gora’s take on the dishes - bland and tasteless. Their biryani is the worst I reckon. Literally got some yellow rice in a plate with the odd chicken with a pot of chaana daal and some weird orange sauce.

NANDOS . I’ve had nicer chicken lol

Re: The most overhyped food

In my opinion sushi, quinoa and macaroons are all over hyped food these days

Re: The most overhyped food

agreed…spending $2+ on one SMALL macaron…which hardly has much flavor or taste to it.

Re: The most overhyped food

quinoa is very high in nutritional value, however, it is bland like any other grain and needs flavoring induced in it.

Sushi
Risotto
Coji berries
Store brought cupcakes with fancy frosting - no way they count as a desert.

Re: The most overhyped food

For me Dunkin Donuts and Gloria Jeans are really over rated. Nothing special I can tell about them.

And Yes Hummus and Mattabbakh. I have been brought up in KSA but never liked these 2 but have seen even my own husband’s drooling over these 2

Re: The most overhyped food

Sushi is not over rated. Its just that you need to go to the right place to eat it

lasagna — too cheesy, too fattening, and just plain yucky and looks like an alien monster

Re: The most overhyped food

butter chicken…most people don’t cook good and it’s there everywhere…it’s become something like a richman’s daal.
