Delhi is filled with tons of places from 5-star hotels to local street vendors serving up a delicious plate of Biryanis and we're here to tell you about them all!
1. Dum Pukht
Located in ITC Maurya, this restaurant is considered one of the best restaurants in Delhi and is known for bringing forth intense flavours of slow-cooked food, made from authentic recipes garnered from the royal kitchens of Awadh. Their Hyderabadi Kachhi Gosht Ki Biryani is a hit with everyone and simply begs to be tried. A meal for two will cost you approximately Rs 3,000.

Mohd Taufiq wouldn't ever have, in his dreams, thought of becoming this famous when he started with only Bade Ki Biryani, but a small shop tucked away deep in the bylanes of Chitli Qabar is sure to demand respect from us, enough to include it in the list of Delhi’s finest. Huge boneless beef pieces, pickled rice, their special raita and lots of onion garnishing is what made us his fans for life! We strongly recommend a visit to this place if you ever plan on an exploration of Delhi 6! A meal for two will cost you around Rs 300 here.

In the cramped, colourful lanes of Nizamuddin, you will come across this modest outlet which serves the best Mutton Biryani in town, cooked effortlessly in humongous steel pots. You can't miss this place, as the smell of the divine biryani will lead you right to it. The Biryani with its succulent pieces of meat and aromatic rice is best enjoyed with their chutney. A meal for two will cost you a very reasonable Rs 200 - 300.

Albeit the royal vibe attached to biryani, one can enjoy it wholeheartedly even in a roadside setting and Oberoi Biryani is one such place to indulge in this experience.

Just bear in mind that this is more of a takeaway joint, and you have to place your order at least 3 hours in advance if ordering in bulk. 1 Kg of Mutton / Chicken Biryani will cost you approximately Rs 450 - 550.

It is the place to head to if you're looking for delicious & affordable biryanis that are cooked in the original ‘Dum’ technique. Mutton, chicken & veg options are available, although the Mutton Biryani is by far the best with its long aromatic rice grains and succulent pieces of mutton, served with Mutton Korma.
