About Our Chicken Biryani

Chicken Biryani is one of India's most celebrated rice dishes and a signature specialty at Royal India Express. Our authentic recipe begins with premium basmati rice, known for its long, fragrant grains, which we carefully wash and soak to achieve the perfect texture. The chicken is marinated in a blend of aromatic spices including ginger-garlic paste, garam masala, and our special biryani masala, ensuring maximum flavor penetration.

We prepare our Chicken Biryani using the traditional dum method, where the marinated chicken and partially cooked rice are layered in a heavy-bottomed pot with whole spices, fried onions, mint, and coriander leaves. The pot is then sealed and slow-cooked over low heat, allowing the flavors to meld together perfectly. The result is a fragrant, flavorful biryani where each grain of rice is infused with the essence of the spices and the tender chicken. This dish is typically served with raita (yogurt sauce) and is perfect for special occasions.
