1. Chicken Hyderabadi Dum Biryani
An icon of Indian cuisine, our Hyderabadi Dum Biryani is crafted using the slow-cooking dum method, where aromatic rice is layered with marinated vegetables, eggs, or chicken, sealed, and cooked on low heat to lock in flavor. The steam does all the magic, bringing a perfect blend of spice, aroma, and moisture.

If you’re someone who enjoys rich, meaty flavors, our Mutton Dum Biryani is an absolute must-try. Tender chunks of marinated mutton are cooked until they fall apart, releasing their juices into the layers of basmati rice. This dish offers a bold, deep flavor profile that lingers in the best way.
