About Our Biryani

Biryani is one of the most celebrated dishes in Indian and Mughlai cuisine, with a history spanning centuries and countless regional variations. At Om Cuisine of India, we prepare biryani using the authentic dum pukht technique—a slow-cooking method where marinated meat or vegetables and partially cooked basmati rice are layered in a heavy-bottomed pot, sealed tightly, and cooked on low heat. This allows all the flavors to meld together while the rice steams to fluffy perfection.

Our biryani features premium long-grain basmati rice infused with saffron strands soaked in milk, giving it a beautiful golden hue. Each layer is seasoned with whole spices—cardamom, cloves, star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon—and garnished with fresh mint, cilantro, and fried onions. The meat or vegetables are marinated in yogurt and spices for maximum flavor. The result is a fragrant, colorful, and deeply satisfying one-pot meal served with cooling raita and your choice of curry on the side.

What Customers Say About Our Biryani

Simran P

Calgary Resident

"I've been a loyal customer of Om for quite some time. No matter if I order online or dine-in, the quality and taste of the food remain consistently excellent. It's always fresh and flavourful. The Dum ki Nalli is my absolute favourite, but every dish I've tried has been equally delicious. The food tastes just like it would in India."

"Om Cuisine of India is a wonderful Indian restaurant based upon delicious flavours and tradition. Each dish is incredibly well put together, and the service was incredibly welcoming and warm. It is our new go to in the south!"

Immigrant from India

"In my opinion Om has the best Indian food in the city. As an immigrant from India it is difficult to find food which shows true Indian flavor. However Om absolutely knocked it out of the park with their roti and paneer both of which reminded me of home. The atmosphere was quite well designed and gave off a modern yet also traditional aroma. 11/10 would recommend."
