Chicken Biryani near Arbour Lake, NW Calgary

About Our Chicken Biryani

Biryani has roots in the royal kitchens of Hyderabad and Lucknow, where rice and meat were layered and cooked together so the steam infused everything with spice. At Green Chili – Cuisine of India, our Biryani - Chicken follows that layered approach: seasoned chicken, fragrant rice and crispy fried onions, finished with a touch of saffron.

It is a popular choice for takeout and delivery because it travels well and reheats beautifully, and it is generous enough to share. Guests from Hawkwood, Tuscany, Citadel and Rocky Ridge regularly order it for family dinners, and it is a natural centrepiece for a family takeout order.

Why Our Chicken Biryani Stands Out

The difference between good biryani and great biryani is in the rice. We use long-grain basmati that stays separate and fluffy instead of clumping, and the chicken is marinated before cooking so it is tender rather than dry. Whole spices give aroma without overwhelming heat, and the raita on the side lets you cool things down. We also serve beef and vegetable biryani if you want to mix it up.

Perfect Pairings

• Cucumber raita (served alongside)
• Tandoori Chicken or Chicken Tikka to share
• Onion Bhajia or vegetable samosa to start
• A creamy curry like Chicken Korma on the side
• Plain or garlic naan
