Chicken Biryani in Dubai — 250 g for AED 10
A 250 g chicken biryani meal for a flat AED 10, available for takeaway or delivery.
The 10er chicken biryani is a 250 g individual meal for AED 10. If you prefer a larger rice meal at the same price, choose the 500 g chicken pulao from the order form.
Bone-in or boneless — which to order
Both use the same masala and the same dum. The difference is what the bone does while the pot is sealed.
Bone-in (the 10er, AED 10). The bone keeps the meat from tightening and drying during the dum, and it gives the rice around it something to take flavour from. It is the better-tasting plate, and it is the cheaper one. The trade is that you have to work around bones while you eat.
Boneless (AED 12). Hand-cut thigh meat — thigh rather than breast, because breast goes to string under a long dum. It takes a deeper char and it is easier to eat one-handed, which is why it is the one that ends up in lunchboxes and on desks. You pay two dirhams for the convenience.
If you are eating at a table, order the 10er. If you are eating at a desk or in a car, order the boneless and don’t think about it again.
The 14-hour marinade
The chicken sits in yoghurt and freshly ground spices for 14 hours before it ever meets rice. That is not showmanship — yoghurt works slowly, and the lactic acid needs that long to get past the surface of the meat rather than just coating it. Marinate for two hours and you have seasoned the outside; marinate overnight and the seasoning is in the meat. It is the single step most responsible for the plate tasting the way it does, and it is the step a kitchen cutting corners drops first, because it costs a day of planning rather than a dirham of ingredients.
What ten dirhams actually buys
A full plate, not a taster: bone-in chicken, saffron-stained long-grain Sella rice, and cucumber raita, mirchi ka salan and a wedge of lemon included rather than sold alongside. Those three are the difference between a portion of rice and a meal, and charging for them separately is the oldest way to make a cheap biryani look cheaper than it is.
The price has stayed at ten dirhams because the menu is short and the cooking is simple, not because anything on the plate has been quietly reduced. If you want that argument in full, we set it out in how we keep the cheapest biryani in Dubai honest.
Feeding more than one
For two or three people, order the plates individually — everyone gets their own raita and salan. For four or more, the Family Dum at AED 35 is the better call: one whole sealed pot brought to the table still steaming, so you crack the dough crust yourselves. It works out cheaper per head than four separate plates and it is a considerably better thing to put in the middle of a table. Full menu and prices.

All our chicken is halal. We don’t serve pork or alcohol, anywhere. You’ll find us across Dubai and the UAE — walk in, take it away hot, or order on your usual delivery app.

Chicken biryani FAQ
What’s the difference between the AED 10 and the AED 12 chicken biryani?
The bone. The AED 10 “10er” is bone-in, which keeps the meat from drying during the dum and gives the surrounding rice more to take flavour from. The AED 12 is hand-cut boneless thigh — easier to eat one-handed, slightly deeper char. Same masala, same dum, both with raita, salan and lemon.
Why thigh meat and not breast?
Breast goes stringy under a long dum. Thigh carries more fat and holds its texture through the full cook, which is why it’s the cut used for the boneless plate.
Is the chicken biryani halal?
Yes. All our chicken is halal, and we don’t serve pork or alcohol at any location.
How many should I order for a group?
Up to three people, order individual plates so everyone gets their own raita and salan. Four or more, the Family Dum at AED 35 works out cheaper per head and arrives as one sealed pot you open at the table.
