Fragrant, colourful and full of whole spices, Shehnai's Biryani is made with long-grained basmati rice cooked with your choice of chicken, lamb or beef – or try shrimp or vegetable biryani. A complete, satisfying meal from our kitchen near King and Dundurn.
Biryani is one of the great rice dishes of the Indian subcontinent, prized for its fragrant rice, tender meat or vegetables and aromatic spices. At Shehnai Restaurant, our biryani is made with long-grained basmati rice cooked with succulent chicken, lamb or beef and a delicate blend of spices and herbs, including cinnamon, cardamom, cloves and bay leaves.
Prefer seafood or a meat-free meal? Choose shrimp biryani or vegetable biryani instead. Biryani is also a popular choice for catering because it is easy to serve and feeds a crowd, making it ideal for office lunches, parties and family celebrations in Hamilton.
Biryani is delicious on its own, but it is even better with a cooling cucumber raita and a curry on the side. Try it with butter chicken, goat curry or vegetable korma.
