The Legacy of Awadh
Royalty in Every Grain
Discover the secret spice blends of 2000-year-old royal recipes, slow-cooked to perfection in traditional earthen handis over charcoal fires.
Preserving 2000 Years of Flavor
Tracing back to the kitchens of ancient emperors, Biryani Babu preserves the sanctity of slow-cooking and authentic spice sourcing. Our Khansamas are the descendants of the royal cooks who once served the Mughal Empire.

Recipes recovered from royal court archives, translated from Persian and Sanskrit.
Earthen Handi Tradition

The Ritual
9 Hours of Patience
6-Hour Marination
Premium cuts of meat are tenderized with green papaya and soaked in a blend of 32 spices, Kashmiri saffron, and cold-pressed oils.
The Dum Pukht
The handi is sealed with dough and slow-cooked over low flame for 3 hours, allowing the meat to cook in its own juices and steam.
