Every Dish on This Menu Has a Chef Behind It — Not a Timer

Each dish comes from a different corner of South Asian culinary history. Dum biryani originated in Mughal royal kitchens. Haleem is a centuries-old comfort dish across South Asia. Shami kebab and chicken chapli carry the bold spice traditions of northern South Asian cooking. Our chefs honour that history by preparing every dish the way it was originally intended — with skill, patience, and proper ingredients.

Singapore has always embraced bold, layered flavours from across Asia — and South Asian cuisine fits naturally into that story. Our menu gives Singapore diners direct access to four authentic South Asian dishes prepared by experienced chefs. It is not a fusion or a simplified version — it is the real thing, made properly and available in the heart of Singapore.

Start with the dum biryani — it is the dish our chefs have built their reputation on and the one that best represents what Biryani Singapore is about. Add chicken chapli on the side for contrast. If you want to go deeper into the menu, haleem alongside the biryani creates a combination that surprises most first-time diners in the best possible way.

Our chefs begin by marinating the halal meat with whole spices, then partially cook the premium basmati rice separately before layering them together in a heavy pot. The pot is sealed tightly and placed over a controlled low flame. The steam inside does the work — slowly infusing every grain of rice with the flavour of the meat and spices beneath it. The result cannot be replicated by open-pot or pre-cooked methods.

Most kebabs in Singapore are grilled or skewered. Chicken chapli is a flat patty cooked on a tawa — a flat heavy pan — which creates a distinct crispy crust while keeping the inside moist and deeply spiced. Our chefs blend whole spices directly into the minced halal chicken before forming each patty fresh per order. The flavour profile is completely different from anything most Singapore diners have encountered.

Yes. Haleem has a thick, porridge-like consistency with a rich savoury depth that many Singapore diners find immediately comforting — even on a first try. Our chefs slow-simmer it until the halal meat breaks down completely into the lentils and spices, creating a dish that feels familiar in texture while delivering a flavour experience that is entirely its own.

Yes. Every dish — dum biryani, haleem, shami kebab, and chicken chapli — is available for dine-in at our Singapore location and for online ordering through biryani.sg. All orders are freshly prepared by our chefs after confirmation so the food arrives at the same quality whether you are dining in or ordering from home.

By keeping the process consistent and the team skilled. Our chefs follow the same preparation method on every single order — same spice ratios, same technique, same attention to timing. A focused four-dish menu makes that consistency achievable. When chefs are not stretched across dozens of items, every dish benefits from their full expertise and attention.
