The Rich History and Food Value of Biryani – Regent’s Signature Dish

At Regent, one dish that never fails to win hearts is our signature Biryani—fragrant, flavorful, and deeply rooted in history. Whether you’re dining at our Dumdum or Kamarhati location, our Biryani is a celebration of tradition, taste, and nourishment.

🏰 A Journey Through Time: The Origins of Biryani

Biryani’s story dates back centuries. Believed to have originated in Persia, it was introduced to India by Mughal rulers. The word Biryani comes from the Persian word ‘birian’, meaning “fried before cooking.” Over time, this royal dish was adapted by different regions across India, giving rise to famous variations like Hyderabadi, Lucknowi, and Kolkata Biryani.

Kolkata Biryani, in particular, stands out for its subtle spices, fragrant long-grain rice, tender meat, and the unique addition of a whole potato—an influence from Nawab Wajid Ali Shah’s time in Bengal.

At Regent, we honor this heritage by preparing Biryani with authentic spices, slow-cooked meat, and traditional Dum (steam) methods. Every plate is a tribute to its glorious past.

🍽️ More Than Just a Meal: The Food Value of Biryani

Biryani is not just flavorful—it’s nutritionally rich as well. It offers:

• Protein from chicken, mutton, or egg

• Carbohydrates from basmati rice

• Healthy fats from ghee and yogurt

• Micronutrients from saffron, onions, garlic, and whole spices

While it’s a royal indulgence, Biryani is also a balanced, one-pot meal that provides energy and satiety. Pair it with a side of raita or salad, and you’ve got a complete, hearty dish.
