Biryani is spiced rice layered with meat, fish or vegetables, and in Abu Dhabi the Kerala and wider Indian kitchens serve it; Nihal Restaurant lists a mutton version at AED 38.
Biryani is a mixed rice dish traditionally made with spiced meat, seafood or vegetables, and it was present in Mughal-era India. It is thought to derive from a Persian rice dish, with Persian pilau meeting Indian spices in the royal kitchens, and the word comes from a Persian term meaning to fry or roast. Abu Dhabi's large South Asian communities cook it in regional styles: Curly Tales describes Thalassery chicken biryani made with jeerakasala rice and ghee, Taste of Kerala lists six kinds, and Nihal serves a mutton version.
