Rice & Biryani Menu — Bangkok
Biryani is the dish people travel for. Some come for Hyderabadi heat; others for the lighter, saffron-led Lucknowi style. We layer raw marinated meat under par-cooked basmati and seal the lid with dough — that slow-cooked steam is what infuses the rice. Below are 10 biryani and rice dishes, made the long way.

Notes from the kitchen — Rice & Biryani
A few practical things about biryani at BHARAT. We do not pre-cook batches — every biryani gets layered and dum-sealed when you order, which means a 35–45 minute wait. If you are in a hurry, our jeera rice or pulao comes out in 15 minutes. The basmati we use is aged Punjabi long-grain. Mutton biryani uses bone-in goat from a halal supplier we have worked with since opening. Raita, salan and pickled onions come on the side at no extra charge.

Frequently Asked Questions about Rice & Biryani
What kinds of biryani do you serve?
We make 10 different biryanis across the Hyderabadi (kacchi-style, slow-cooked under a sealed lid) and Lucknowi (yakhni-based, gentler heat) traditions. Chicken, mutton, prawn and vegetable variations. Each is layered, sealed and dum-cooked — never pre-made.
How is your biryani actually made?
Kacchi-style dum: raw marinated meat layered under par-cooked aged basmati, the pot sealed with dough and slow-steamed for 35–45 minutes. Nothing is pre-cooked in batches. Hyderabadi heat or gentler Lucknowi-style depending on the dish — raita and salan come free either way.
Is the biryani meat halal?
Yes. The mutton is bone-in goat from a halal supplier we have used since opening, and the chicken is from halal-marked CP Foods / Betagro lines bought fresh at Makro. No pork in the kitchen, no cooking alcohol — halal-friendly, not CICOT-certified, and we say so openly.
How long does biryani take to cook?
A proper biryani takes around 45 minutes from order to table — that is the dum-cooking time. We do not pre-cook biryani in batches; each one is layered and sealed when you order. If you are in a hurry, our other rice dishes (jeera rice, vegetable pulao) come out in 15 minutes.
