Bawarchi Biryani Corner

Where to Find the Best Regional Indian Cooking in NY and NJ - Eater NY

"Bawarchi specializes in two iconic types of southern Indian dum biryani. The Hyderabadi style is the more austere of the two — meat, poultry, or fish lightly marinated and then cooked with basmati rice in a sealed container to preserve the flavors. The Vijayawada style mixes in gravy and pickles at the last moment, making the rice darker and more pungently flavored. Multiple vegetarian and meat-bearing regional dishes, especially from the southern states, fill out the menu, including a half dozen fascinating variations on chicken curry." - Robert Sietsema
