Geylang Briyani Stall

Geylang·$

SGD3.00

Extra portion of aromatic biryani rice for sharing or additional appetite.

Fish Briyani

Allauddin's Briyani

Little India·$

SGD7.00

Fragrant rice with tender white fish pieces and mild spice blend.

Tip: The fish is mild and gentle—good choice if you prefer lighter flavors over the heavier meat briyani.

Briyani with Fried Chicken

Little India·$

SGD11.00

Briyani rice served with crispy fried chicken on the side.

Tip: Add this if you want extra protein and the crispy texture complements the spiced rice well.

Briyani Ayam (Chicken Biryani)

Geylang Briyani Stall

Geylang·$

SGD6.00

Fragrant rice infused with spices, ghee, and evaporated milk, topped with curry chicken.

Chicken Briyani

Allauddin's Briyani

Little India·$

SGD7.00

Fluffy basmati rice cooked with tender chicken and fragrant spices.

Briyani Kambing (Mutton Biryani)

Geylang Briyani Stall

Geylang·$

SGD6.00

Fragrant biryani rice with tender mutton curry, richer and more flavourful.

Tip: In Indian biryani tradition, mutton is the classic protein. This version is what the family has perfected over 60 years — richer and more authentic than the chicken.

Mutton Briyani

Allauddin's Briyani

Little India·$

SGD7.00

Basmati rice with slow-cooked mutton in aromatic spice blend.

Tip: Mutton has more flavor than chicken here. The meat falls apart easily, showing it's been braised properly.

#885% recommend

Briyani Fried Chicken

Geylang Briyani Stall

Geylang·$

SGD6.00

Biryani rice with crispy fried chicken instead of curry chicken.

Tip: Choose this if you prefer the textural contrast of crispy chicken against soft rice. The fried version is less heavy than the curry options.
