My favorite place for chicken makhani and its rates.

I mostly visit jalil tikka and bbq restaurant with my family to eat chicken makhani, and one full makhani cost about 950 rs there, the prices may differ in different restaurants and other shops.

WHAT PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE LOVE IT ?

It ratio may differ in different places but as much as i know about 70% of the people in my surroundings love to eat chicken makhani especially people of Peshawar loved it and so am I.
