Isn\u2019t there just something so satisfying about digging into a plate of spicy biryani? The best biryani (or briyani) spots in Singapore should hit all the right notes — authenticity, flavour, price, and most importantly — fork-tender meat that promises to melt in your mouth. From moist and fluffy mutton dum biryani to lamb shank and vegetarian variations, here\u2019s a shortlist of popular and value-for-money biryani meals across the island.<\/p>\n

Best biryani spots in Singapore to add to your foodie wishlist<\/h2>\n

1. Mr Briyani<\/h3>\n

Hyderabadi biryani is one of the most popular biryani varieties, known for its aromatic flavours and tender meat slowly cooked in the dum (a one-pot slow-cooking method) style. It\u2019s slightly drier than other varieties, but the rice (when done right) remains amazingly fluffy. Cooked with a blend of spices and fried onions, the dish is big on flavour.<\/p>\n

Mr Biryani is one of the best Hyderabadi biryani spots in Singapore that nails this dish with finesse. We ordered the Hyderabadi Chicken Dum Biryani for two to share and were more than satiated with the flavourful basmati rice served with two good-sized and super tender pieces of chicken. Definitely have the raita and the interesting mirchi ka salan (mix of chilli, peanut, spices and yogurt) sauce on the side, that goes nicely with the rice.<\/p>\n

2. Allaudin\u2019s Biryani<\/h3>\n

There isn\u2019t anything that hasn\u2019t already been said about the nasi briyani at Allaudin\u2019s. Singapore Michelin Guide has even awarded the establishment the Michelin Plate — easily earning top spot in our list of the best biryanis in Singapore. At just $5, get a plate of chicken, mutton or fish biryani accompanied with a scoop of dhal (lentils) and achar (pickled cucumbers). Dig into the fluffy rice and fall-off-the-bone meat, amidst the bustling Tekka Market. Expect a queue during lunch and dinner time (both on weekdays and weekends) but for the price and almost cult-status of this best hawker stall<\/a>, you simply cannot give Allaudin\u2019s a miss.<\/p>\n

Address:<\/strong> Tekka Centre, 666 Buffalo Road #01-232, S(210665)

Zaffron Kitchen boasts a contemporary, cosy ambience while dishing out North Indian cuisine. This award-winning restaurant has charmed foodies with its curries, tandoor breads, meats and burgers including a Chicken Tikka Burger and Chat Masala Fries for a starter. However, it\u2019s the biryani variety we want to talk about. From the Lamb Shank Biryani (pictured above) to the signature Zaffron Chicken Biryani and Vegetable Biryani, there\u2019s definitely something for everyone here. The chicken biryani is cooked in the dum style and wrapped with a thin layer of dough to lock in the flavours. Use your fork to \u2018break\u2019 the shell and tuck into the moist rice and chicken beneath for a scintillating experience. Definitely, one of the best biryanis in Singapore to enjoy over a catch up with friends.<\/p>\n

We are huge fans of the chicken biryani! Choose between fried, sambal or curry chicken.

Its unassuming shopfront and interiors belie the quality South Indian fare it serves up — think fresh dosas, kothu parathas and chapati sets. But they are also popular for dishing out some of the best biryanis in Singapore. Order their signature Prawn Biryani ($12) — cooked with biryani masala, an assortment of warm spices, vegetables and juicy pink crustaceans for a truly satisfying meal.
