Best Chicken Dum Biryani in Calgary

About Our Chicken Dum Biryani

Hyderabadi dum biryani is not a stir-fried rice dish – it is a slow, sealed cook where raw marinated chicken and half-cooked basmati finish together in their own steam. At our Shawinigan Drive SW kitchen we follow that kachchi method exactly, so the meat juices, saffron and whole spices travel up through the rice instead of being stirred in at the end.

The result is what regulars across Shawnessy, Somerset and Bridlewood come back for: tender bone-in chicken, rice that stays fluffy and separate, and a deep aroma of cardamom, clove and mint. Each order is served with cooling raita and mirchi ka salan so you can balance the heat exactly how you like it.

What Makes Our Chicken Dum Biryani Special

• Chicken marinated for hours in yogurt, ginger-garlic and Hyderabadi masala
• Aged long-grain basmati par-boiled with whole spices for separate grains
• Sealed-pot dum cooking – never stirred, never reheated rice
• Hand-fried birista onions, fresh mint and saffron layered between the rice
• Served with raita and mirchi ka salan, in family-sized portions

How We Serve It

Available as a single plate, a family combo or a full bulk tray for parties. Choose your spice level at checkout – mild, medium or Hyderabadi hot.

Perfect Pairings

Pair it with Chicken 65 to start and a cooling raita on the side. For larger orders, add a Hyderabadi platter so vegetarian guests are covered too.
