Zabardast Hyderabadi Biryani (HarbourFront)

Chicken Dum Biryani

The flagship — long-grain basmati sealed and slow-cooked with bone-in chicken, whole spices, and browned onions, producing rice that's aromatic and never mushy

Mutton Dum Biryani

Slow-cooked goat or lamb biryani with deep, gamey richness that develops over the long dum process — the more indulgent choice for serious biryani eaters

Mirchi Ka Salan

The traditional Hyderabadi chili-peanut-sesame gravy served alongside biryani — tangy, nutty, and essential for pouring over the rice

Raita

Cool yogurt with cucumber and spices — the necessary counterpoint to the heat of the biryani; don't skip it if you're sensitive to spice

Vegetable Dum Biryani

The plant-based version of the dum preparation — less complex than the meat options but still fragrant and well-spiced for vegetarians
