Biryani By Kilo (BBK), India’s largest fresh-to-order biryani & kebab chain with 100+ locations, has launched its first UAE outlet on Hessa Street, Dubai. With a reputation for serving biryani that is prepared fresh to order, BBK is introducing a new standard in the region, moving away from pre-cooked meals to ensure an authentic and freshly made experience.
To mark its arrival, BBK is offering a special launch deal—on March 15 and 16, customers can get a biryani for just AED 1 when they purchase any biryani at full price. The offer is only valid for dine-in customers.
BBK brings a fresh, modern energy to Biryani while staying true to its heritage. Each order is freshly prepared using traditional slow dum cooking techniques in earthenware pots (haandis), preserving deep flavours and rich aromas. The brand prioritises high-quality ingredients, including two-year naturally aged Basmati rice and a carefully curated blend of BBK’s secret spices, ensuring an authentic and unforgettable dining experience.
A Fresh Dining Experience
BBK’s Dubai Hessa Street outlet spans 2,000 square feet across two floors and accommodates up to 50 guests. The open kitchen concept allows diners to experience the aroma of fresh-to-order cooking, creating a direct connection between chefs and customers.
The menu features a diverse range of biryanis from across India, panning north to south, including:
- Traditional favorites: Hyderabadi Dum Biryani, Lucknowi (Awadhi) Biryani, Kolkata Biryani
- Modern Fusion: Kathal (Jackfruit) Biryani, Butter Chicken Biryani, Delhi-style Chicken Tikka Biryani
Beyond biryani, the menu extends to kebabs, curries, freshly baked breads, and desserts. Highlights include Chicken Seekh Kebab, Mutton Galouti Kebab, Smoked Butter Chicken, Chicken Tikka Masala, Butter Paneer Masala, and desserts like Phirni and Gulab Jamun with Rabri.
Vish Narain, Managing Partner of Pulsar Capital, the private equity firm that owns the master franchise rights for the UAE region, commented, “With this strategic investment, we are backing a brand that has not only mastered the art of authentic, dum-cooked biryanis but has also built a strong, scalable business with 100+ outlets across India. At Pulsar Capital, we partner with high-growth, high-impact ventures that demonstrate operational excellence, strong leadership, and the ability to scale globally. Biryani By Kilo embodies all these qualities, and we are excited to be part of their journey as they take their vision to the next level in the UAE and beyond.”
“We are excited to introduce Biryani By Kilo to the UAE,” said Kaushik Roy, Founder and CEO of Biryani By Kilo. “As a young, dynamic brand, we’re here to shake up the biryani scene with our fresh-to-order approach. Every order is made from scratch, staying true to tradition while bringing a fresh, new energy to how people experience biryani. It’s authentic, innovative, and unlike anything else in the market.”
Expansion Plans
Dubai marks BBK’s first step into the Middle East, with plans to expand to Abu Dhabi, Saudi Arabia, and the rest of the GCC over the next four years.
