Few dishes capture the soul of Indian cuisine like biryani. It is not just food—it is history, heritage, science, aroma, emotion, and artistry layered into a single pot. At Westside Biryani, this culinary legacy is treated with the respect it deserves. Every grain, every spice, and every layer is crafted with precision, patience, and passion.
Here’s how Westside Biryani transforms a timeless classic into an extraordinary experience.
1. The Grain: Choosing the Perfect Basmati
A great biryani begins long before it reaches the stove.
Westside Biryani uses long-grain, aged basmati rice selected for:
1. Aroma
2. Length
3. Texture
4. Non-stick consistency
Aged rice absorbs flavors beautifully yet stays separate and fluffy—an absolute must for authentic dum biryani.
2. The Marinade: Where Flavour Finds Its Voice
Every biryani is only as good as its marination.
Westside Biryani follows a slow, overnight marination process to ensure that the spices seep deep inside the meat or vegetables.
Their marinade features:
Handpicked spices
Fresh curd
Ginger-garlic paste
Signature spice blends unique to Westside
A balance of heat, tang, and richness
This slow marination is what creates tender meat and consistent flavours in every bite.
3. The Dum Technique: Tradition Meets Technique
At the heart of Westside Biryani lies the dum cooking method—a time-honoured technique where biryani is sealed and cooked on a slow flame.
Why dum?
It locks in aroma
It allows rice to absorb every spice note
It retains moisture without making the biryani greasy
It creates that mouthwatering top-layer fragrance you can smell from miles away
The result?
A biryani that’s aromatic, balanced, and deeply satisfying.
4. The Layering: Crafting the Perfect Experience
Layering is the soul of biryani, and Westside Biryani treats it like an art form.
The layering includes:
A base of marinated chicken/mutton/veg
Partially cooked basmati rice
Fried golden onions
Fresh mint and coriander
Saffron-infused milk or aromatic extracts
A final seal to trap all flavours
Each layer offers a different surprise, ensuring that no two spoonfuls taste exactly the same—yet all blend beautifully.
5. The Balance: Spices, Aroma & Texture
Westside Biryani doesn’t believe in overpowering heat or unnecessary complexity.
Instead, it follows the rule of harmonious balance:
Not too spicy
Not too oily
Just the right richness
Aroma that arrives before the plate does
Each biryani is crafted to be flavorful, not fiery—making it enjoyable across age groups.
6. The Meat: Tender, Juicy, and Always Fresh
Whether it’s the chicken, mutton, or egg biryani, Westside ensures:
Fresh cuts
Slow marination
Juicy, fall-apart texture
Even cooking through every layer
No dry pieces. No uneven bites. Just pure satisfaction.
7. The Experience: More Than Just a Meal
For Westside Biryani, biryani isn’t fast food—it’s a celebration.
A celebration of:
Craftsmanship
Culture
Comfort
Community
Every biryani is prepared like it’s meant for a gathering, not just a delivery box.
Why Westside Biryani Stands Out
✔ Authentic dum technique
✔ Carefully sourced ingredients
✔ Layered craftsmanship
✔ Consistency across every order
✔ Recipes rooted in tradition with a modern polish
Westside Biryani brings back the nostalgia of old-school biryani while adapting it to today’s fast-paced dining culture. It’s soulful, fragrant, hearty—and undeniably delicious.
