If you decide to order biryani in Bangalore, the surfeit of brands can be confusing. All of them are funded chains now. They aspire to be fast-food chains, modelled on American-style Big Food corporations. Some biryanis are cooked in central kitchens, others are made from masala prepared in similar facilities. Biryanis are now cooked more with SOPs than traditional methods.

Biryani Blues is among the choices available in Bangalore. It was begun by a husband-wife duo with a passion to share the joys of Hyderabadi biryani with North India. Biryani Blues has grown to be a recognised QSR chain in North India and is now also in Bangalore. On offer is a range of biryanis and combos. The Mutton Boneless Combo, for instance, allows you to order a half portion of a starter such as Potato 65 or Chicken 65. The biryani is accompanied by a raita. The biryani that supposedly serves one is a huge portion and comes in a big paper tub with a plastic lid. The meat, large, tender cubes, infused with aroma and flavour, is the best part of the biryani. The rice is equally well-done.

Besides the popular biryani combos, you can order biryanis for a party and celebration handis from Biryani Blues. For the health-conscious who still want to indulge there’s a high-fibre brown rice option.
