The Riwaayat Biryani

A Family Man, Foodie and Flavorist.

Kolkatans don’t just eat biryani. They live it, debate it, and judge restaurants by it.

We know, because we’re one of you.

Riwaayat was born from a frustration every true Kolkatan has felt. Because for a city that takes its food this seriously, quality Mughlai deserved better. The real dum.

The slow-cooked gravies. The kind of richness that doesn’t rush. It was either hard to find, or hard to afford, and that never sat right with us.

Because here, there’s no right way or wrong way. There’s only the Riwaayat way.

“Egg stays. Aloo forever.”
