About Our Chicken Biryani

Chicken Biryani is one of India's most beloved dishes and a signature specialty at BHARAT HALWAI. Our authentic recipe begins with chicken marinated in yogurt and aromatic spices, then layered with fragrant basmati rice and slow-cooked in traditional dum style. The dish is infused with saffron, mint, and a carefully balanced blend of spices including garam masala and cardamom.

What makes our Chicken Biryani special is the perfect layering technique – each grain of rice is infused with flavor, the chicken is tender and juicy, and the aromatic spices create a symphony of flavors. We serve our Chicken Biryani with raita and garnish it with fried onions and mint, making it the perfect feast for any occasion.
