<!-- Rebuilt 2026-09-20. Removed: /t and /y (broken placeholder URLs that
     returned the 404 page), /partners.php and /menu.php (now redirects),
     /index.php (duplicate of /), /terms.php and /privacy.php (now noindex).
     Added: /catering.php, which was missing entirely.

     2026-09-28: removed the 25 /menu-details.php?cat=N URLs. They're an
     orphaned legacy menu system (not linked from any current page, different
     old template/branding, and their "Order Now" buttons pointed at
     https://biryanibistro.smartonlineorder.com/ - a different, older
     ordering platform than the one used everywhere else on the site,
     https://food.orders.co/biryanibistro). Submitting them here was actively
     telling Google to crawl and index stale, duplicate, off-brand pages.
     Previous version: delete/sitemap.xml.bak-20260928
     robots.txt now also points here instead of a 404ing URL - see robots.txt. -->
