Experience the royal flavors of our authentic Chicken Biryani, a beloved Pakistani classic that has delighted food lovers for centuries. Our biryani features layers of fragrant basmati rice and succulent marinated chicken, slow-cooked together with saffron, whole spices, and fresh herbs using the traditional dum cooking method.
Biryani is the crown jewel of Pakistani cuisine, a dish that tells the story of Mughal emperors and centuries of culinary tradition. Originally brought to the subcontinent by Persian travelers, biryani evolved into the aromatic masterpiece we know today through generations of skilled cooks in Lahore, Karachi, and Hyderabad.
At Chillies, we honor this heritage by preparing our Chicken Biryani using time-tested techniques. Premium chicken pieces are marinated in yogurt and a blend of over 15 spices, then layered with aged basmati rice that's been partially cooked with whole spices. The pot is sealed and slow-cooked over low heat, allowing the flavors to meld perfectly.
Our biryani is prepared using the authentic "dum" method, where the pot is sealed with dough and cooked on low heat. This technique traps the steam inside, infusing every grain of rice with the rich flavors of the spiced chicken. The result is perfectly cooked rice with each grain separate yet bursting with flavor.
Our Chicken Biryani comes with cooling raita (yogurt sauce) and a side of spicy mirchi salan (green chili curry). For the complete experience, add our signature house salad and enjoy a feast fit for royalty.
