Hyderabadi Mutton Dum Biryani — Slow-Cooked Royalty in Sharjah

If there’s one dish that makes hearts quiet and eyes close in bliss, it’s Hyderabadi Mutton Dum Biryani.
At Kiraak Hyderabadi in Al Qasmia, Sharjah, we cook it the old way—slow, patient, and full of love—so that every grain shines, every bite of mutton falls apart, and the aroma floats across the room like a promise.
💎 What Makes Hyderabadi Dum Biryani Different?
- Marinated mutton in hung curd, fried onions, mint, coriander, and bold Hyderabadi masala
- Saffron & kewra perfume aged basmati — never mushy, always separate
- Sealed dum: layered & sealed tight so steam bastes the meat from within
- Smoke-kissed finish you smell before it even reaches your table
Our biryani is cooked to order in small batches — fresh, not reheated.
🔥 The Kiraak Method (Our 5 Quiet Secrets)
- Overnight marinade to pull spices deep into the meat
- Par-cooked rice (60–70%) to stay long and proud
- Double-fried onions for that deep bronze sweetness
- Layer, seal, and dum — 45–60 minutes of low flame
- Rest the pot before serving — this is when royalty is born
Every pot is a fresh story — not a reheated paragraph.
