Every grain of rice soaks up the aromas without drying out.
Our Classic Biryani combines basmati rice slow-perfumed with spices (cinnamon, cardamom, clove, saffron) with the protein of your choice, all cooked sealed and steamed “dum”-style so every grain of rice soaks up the aromas without drying out. Served with crispy fried onion and fresh coriander, this single, generous dish is almost a meal in itself, between fragrant rice and tender meat cooked in its own juices.

A dish with history
Biryani is thought to have been born in the kitchens of the Mughal court in the 16th century, out of the meeting between Persian pilaf traditions and Indian spices.
Every region of India has developed its own variant, from Lucknow biryani to Hyderabad biryani, each with its own cooking method and spices.
Today considered one of the most iconic dishes in all of Indian cuisine, it is the object of a genuine following worldwide.
The debate over biryani’s exact origin (Persia, the Mughal court, or South India) still keeps historians and food writers busy today — we won’t settle it here.
