Aby's Biryani

Head up to Chillingham Road in the West End and you'll find yourself in proper biryani territory. Aby's isn't trying to be fancy or Instagram-ready; it's the sort of place where the food speaks for itself. You're getting aromatic rice layered with tender meat, cooked low and slow until every grain is infused with spice and flavour. The kind of biryani that reminds you why this dish has lasted centuries. It's casual, unpretentious, and exactly what you want when you're genuinely hungry.
