The signature dish featuring long-grain basmati rice infused with aromatic spice blends, layered with tender chicken pieces. Each grain remains separate while absorbing the spice profile. Comes with a rich chicken curry and crispy papadum on the side.
Tips from diners
The chicken is consistently tender and well-cooked. Order during off-peak hours to avoid the frequent queues.
The richer, more robust version with mutton that's been slow-cooked until fork-tender. The meat's deeper flavor complements the spiced rice beautifully. Served with mutton curry and papadum.
Tips from diners
Mutton has more flavor than chicken here. The meat falls apart easily, showing it's been braised properly.
A fiery sambal-coated chicken option to add extra heat and flavor to your briyani. The sambal has good spice kick without numbing the palate too much. Popular add-on to elevate a basic briyani.
Tips from diners
Add this if you want heat. The sambal brings real chili fire but remains flavorful, not just burning hot.
A lighter option featuring flaked white fish within the spiced rice base. The fish is delicate and absorbs the spice flavors without becoming overpowering. Comes with fish curry and papadum.
Tips from diners
The fish is mild and gentle—good choice if you prefer lighter flavors over the heavier meat briyani.
The classic briyani paired with golden, crispy fried chicken for added texture and protein. The contrast between the fluffy rice and crunchy chicken makes this a favorite among those who want more substance.
Tips from diners
Add this if you want extra protein and the crispy texture complements the spiced rice well.
