Layers of long-grain basmati rice, marinated chicken, saffron, crispy fried onions and fresh herbs — our chicken biryani is slow-cooked so every grain carries the flavour of whole spices. Searching for the best biryani near you in West Edmonton? Visit our Callingwood cafe or order online for hot, generous portions delivered to your door.
Biryani is a celebration dish, and we treat it that way. Chicken is marinated in yogurt, ginger, garlic and garam masala, then layered with fragrant basmati rice and slow-steamed dum style so the rice stays fluffy while soaking up every ounce of flavour. Each order is finished with fried onions and fresh coriander and served with cooling raita on the side.
Customers tell us the portions are huge and the spices are just right — and if you like your biryani extra spicy, just ask. We prepare every plate fresh at our West Edmonton kitchen, so it arrives steaming whether you dine in, pick up or get it delivered.

“Best Indian food I’ve had in West Edmonton. Butter chicken was rich and creamy, naan was perfectly soft, and the staff were really friendly. This is our new go-to spot for Indian takeout.”

“Hidden gem in West Edmonton. Tried their Indian fusion menu and the grilled tandoori chicken wrap and fried rice were excellent. Fresh, flavorful, and reasonably priced. Will be back soon.”
