About Goat Biryani
Goat biryani is made with bone-in goat meat, often called mutton in India. The meat takes longer to cook than chicken and gives the rice a deep, rich flavor.
Regional versions
Hyderabadi kacchi biryani cooks raw goat and rice together in a sealed pot. Many South Indian and Muslim restaurants make it their signature, and Pakistani and Bangladeshi kitchens make their own versions.
What to order with it
Order raita and salan on the side. Weekend specials are common, so ask what is on the day.

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.
