Not All Veg Biryani Is the Same
A lot of restaurants treat vegetarian biryani as an afterthought — swap the meat for a handful of mixed vegetables and call it a day. That’s not how we do it. Each of our four veg biryanis is built around a different main ingredient and a different flavour profile, the same way our non-veg biryanis are.
| Biryani | Main Ingredient | Flavour Profile | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paneer Biryani | Marinated paneer | Classic, mildly spiced, served with salan & raita | $14.99 |
| Pepperfry Veg Biryani | Mixed vegetables, paneer, cashew | Rich, ghee-forward, well-rounded | $15.99 |
| Gongura Paneer Biryani | Paneer + gongura leaf | Tangy, slightly sour, bold | $14.99 |
| Gutti Vankaya Biryani | Stuffed baby eggplant | Earthy, masala-stuffed, aromatic | $14.99 |
Half portions (serves 1) also available — see full pricing on the menu page.
How to Pick the Right One
If you’ve never had veg biryani before → start with the Paneer Biryani. It’s the most familiar flavour and a safe, satisfying entry point.
If you like bold, tangy food → go for the Gongura Paneer Biryani. Gongura (sorrel leaf) gives it a sourness you won’t find in a typical biryani.
If you want something rich for a group → order the Pepperfry Veg Biryani. The cashew and ghee make it feel more like a main course than a side.
If you’re craving something different → try the Gutti Vankaya Biryani. Stuffed baby eggplant layered into biryani rice isn’t something you’ll find on most menus in Mississauga.
How Our Veg Biryani Is Made
- Prep the base. Basmati rice is washed and par-cooked with whole spices — cardamom, cinnamon, bay leaf — so the grains stay separate and fragrant.
- Cook the main ingredient separately. Paneer, vegetables, or stuffed eggplant is cooked in its own masala first, so the flavour is fully developed before it meets the rice.
- Layer it. Rice and the cooked filling go into the pot in alternating layers, finished with saffron milk and fried onions.
- Dum cook. The pot is sealed and slow-cooked on low heat (the “dum” method), letting the steam finish the rice and pull all the layered flavours together.
- Serve hot. Every order comes with salan (a tangy gravy) and raita on the side to balance the spice.
This is the same method we use for our chicken and mutton biryanis — vegetarian doesn’t mean a shortcut version here.
