About Veg Biryani
Veg biryani layers rice with vegetables, paneer or mushrooms, whole spices, saffron and fried onions. It is cooked the same way as meat biryani, often sealed and slow cooked.
Regional versions
Some kitchens make a proper dum biryani with layers, while others make a quick spiced rice closer to pulao. Hyderabadi veg biryani and paneer biryani are popular versions.
What to order with it
Raita and mirchi ka salan are the usual sides. Add a dal or a paneer dish if you are sharing.

How this list is made
We started from public records, OpenStreetMap and Overture Maps, searched town by town for places those records miss, and read each restaurant's menu from its website or online ordering page. Places whose opening hours we could not confirm recently say so, and we check them again every month. Dishes marked "on the menu" come from the restaurant's own website or ordering page. "Usually served" is our best guess from the style of the place, so call ahead if you have your heart set on it.
Missing a place, a dish or a closure? Tell us and we will fix it.
