Hours as listed by each restaurant, 5 September 2026. Biryani is usually a lunch and dinner item even where the restaurant opens for breakfast, and the popular beef biryanis sell out by mid-afternoon.

Biryani Styles You Will Find in Doha

Thalassery biryani. Short-grain kaima rice, lighter spicing, fennel and cinnamon, meat cooked separately and layered. The Malabar standard. Calicut Notebook and Malabar Stories.

Kozhikodan biryani. The Kozhikode version of the same tradition, a little richer. Signature by Marza and Kozhikode Star.

Malabar dum biryani. Sealed and slow-cooked so the rice takes the meat flavour. Chef Trios.

Kuttan biryani. A Kerala home-style biryani with a heavier, wetter masala. Zaitoon and Panoor.

Beef biryani. The one Doha's Kerala community queues for. Bachikka is the reference point and runs out early. Most Malabar restaurants above do a beef version.

Kappa and kizhi biryani. Kappa biryani replaces rice with tapioca, at Aroma. Kizhi biryani is steamed in a banana leaf parcel, at Curry Leaves.

Vegetable biryani. Bharath Vasantha Bhavan for a pure vegetarian kitchen; most others do a veg version on request.

Hyderabadi biryani. Long-grain basmati, dum-cooked, heavier on saffron and fried onion than the Malabar styles. Not yet the specialism of any restaurant on Savefy; the closest is Malabar dum at Chef Trios, which uses the same sealed-pot method with Kerala spicing. Hyderabadi specialists in Doha are being added.
