Biryani Planet, Ipswich

Head down to Coytes Gardens and you'll find Biryani Planet doing exactly what it says on the tin: biryani that actually tastes like someone who knows what they're doing has made it. The kitchen takes their time layering rice with meat that's been properly marinated, not rushed through in twenty minutes. You get that crucial char on the bottom, the dum-pukht steam method working as it should, and flavours that build rather than just sit there. It's straightforward, unpretentious stuff—the kind of place where locals queue because the food's genuinely good, not because of Instagram hype.
