Haan ‘D’ Biryani => Offering a true contribution to the culinary lineage of Kolkata.!While there are theoretical and ideological differences as to the origin and etymology of the word concerned, the very essence of Biryani, rather remains undisputed and uncontested. Undoubtedly a one-pot meal, much like the Pulao, but with a much higher usage of spices and a greater sophistication of flavours. Legends dispute whether the true meaning arise from the concept of the dish being ‘fried’ or rather this being an exemplified dish made out of rice, the exact origin and foundation of the dish rather goes unanswered. The culinary history of Kolkata however, owes its gratitude to its much Awadhi lineage, and forms as a direct descendant of the Lucknowi Biryani and hence contributes to much of our gastronomic voyage.With a sharp contrast to the variations of Biryani found down South, our version is much fluffier and simpler, yet has a greater sophistication of spices. Potato gradually became an indispensable part of this Biryani, which again credits to two different facts to Wajid Ali Shah; one being potato being a much cheaper alternative to add on to the shortage of meat to feed the huge number of soldiers in the then Awadhi army, while the other notion leads to potato being a much expensive crop in the earlier days, and this being something the Nawab could easily afford as a show of aristocracy. He was perhaps the highest earning pensioner in the-then days, and contributed much of that amount in the upkeeping of his private zoo, something which we now popularly regard as the Alipore Zoo.With the struggle of trying to be health-conscious, it is indeed hard to come up with a form of Biryani which looks good and tastes good at the same time, and in this current world of keeping up to the taste palettes of the ever-hungry appetites, Haan ‘D’ Biryani is one name which I can gladly suggest to everyone. While you do have some of the popular and renowned names as a permanent resort to upkeep to our moods and tastebuds, Haan-D Biryani is doing a great job of matching the flavours to our expectations. With the use of the long grain rice, they ensure that the final outcome comprises of a long and fluffier version, oozing out with flavours.The oil count is kept at bare minimum, but even with the low calory content, they do an amazing job in keeping the filled with moisture. Talk about old schools of dining at some of the legendary joints, and I can barely keep with a Biryani as dry as the sand in a dessert. The potato adds on the charm by sucking in most of the moisture and aroma, and excels on top of the aromatic rice. The Mutton portion served, was perhaps one of the best in the market. The meat literally fell off from the bones, and with size that big, the price charged for this Biryani rather looked as a good buck for the earning. Pairing the flavourful Biryani up with their luscious, juicy and sinful Chicken Chaap was rather a match made in heaven.The Chaap was moist and succulent, with again the meat easily falling off the bone. The Chicken was perhaps fried to light and golden brown, and then simmered on top of the gravy. Clearly gave an edge over the places reluctantly throwing off the meat on to the gravy, before frying them to perfection. The gravy was rich, but not too filling. The subtle concoction of poppy seeds and cashew paste along with the curd gave the gravy its texture, and stood as a perfect accompaniment to the rich and subtle Biryani. Their Shami Kebabs also excel among their customers, and stands next in line of my tryouts. They are open for takeaway and delivery via Swiggy Genie. Do give them a try if you want a change of flavour, perhaps for the very best!#biryani #mughlai #kolkatabiryani #potato #muttonbiryani #chickenbiryani #muttonchaap #chickenchaap #shamikebab #haandbiryani #whenstomachtickles

Best biriyani

One of the best biryanis in Kolkata. Very less spice - children and elderly will love it or people who dont like much Spicy foods. I felt as if home-made biryani. No dalda used for preparation.I contacted Mr Indrajit De Sarkar. He is very down-to-earth and courteous person.Try the biryani atleast once 🥰😍.An IMP note : please call Mr Indrajit in advance (preferably 4-5 hrs) and place your order. The preparation is done on order basis & they dont prepare and keep the biryani frm morning.

One of the best Biryanis in Kolkata. Take away joint, basically. Boneless mutton chaamp is awesome.

Loved it. Superb biriyani. Not very costly. Only takes order online or over phone.

Best quality biriyani in kolkata .Packaging is very innovative .U will get all information from the packet. Try atleast once to get addicted .

By far the most tasty biryani I had in last 10 years. The special mutton biryani with 2 pieces of mutton, egg and potato, sealed in a microwave safe pack , oozes care and passion from order placement, the preparation itself, to delivery.If proprietors stick to this high standard and keep it as cost-effective as today, their tomorrow is bright, very bright.

Biriyani was so delicious ...And so was the chicken .So well cooked..Great taste ..Guyz .

They actually serve you Microwave heated Biryani, which you dont even know that is stale or not.

A unique outlet for biryani lovers..As they assure that their biryani is low in calories,they are getting popular in the market.Chicken pieces are juicey and very much tender..The taste is nice..Have also read that the owner of this outlet uses stethoscope to check whether the biryani is cooked or not.Unique.
