Yes, Biryani is a royal dish and has a rich history. Yes, it is an all-time favourite of many Indians. But even the royalty would have never had gold-laced Biryani!
That’s exactly what a restaurant in Dubai is offering. Bombay Borough in Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), recently launched the special biryani plate called the ‘Royal Gold Biryani’. The Biryani here is served in a large golden plate and is adorned with edible 23-carat gold leaves. The cost of one plate is Dh 1000, nearly Rs 20,000!
The luxury British-era Indian restaurant with an Indian name serves the huge royal biryani platter containing saffron-infused rice biryani topped with a variety of gold leaf kababs – the Kashmiri lamb seekh kababs, old Delhi lamb chops, Rajput chicken kababs, ‘Mughlai koftas’ and ‘malai chicken’ roast. The spread is rounded off with a wide selection of exquisite sauces, curries and ‘raitas,’ NDTV reported.
“It is the exuberant journey to experience Royalty. This royal meal is served in a Thaal and the Gold Biryani is garnished with 23 karat edible Gold. Need we say gold more? Pre-book yours now! Order on the spot will take up to 45 minutes for us to prepare, but we will make sure you have the meal of a lifetime,” wrote the post on the Instagram handle of the restaurant.
