Authentic Pakistani dum biryani stall at Maxwell Food Centre serving fragrant slow-cooked rice with tender meats.
PAKISTANI DUM BIRYANI SG is a Maxwell Food Centre stall specialising in the traditional Pakistani method of dum biryani, where rice and meat are layered and sealed in a pot to cook slowly under their own steam. This technique produces grains of rice that are separate, fragrant, and infused with the aromatics of whole spices, while the meat becomes exceptionally tender from the gentle, enclosed heat. The stall offers a selection of chicken and mutton biryani, each plate assembled with care and served with complementary raita and a simple salad to balance the richness of the rice. Located in one of Singapore's most famous hawker centres, the stall brings a lesser-seen cuisine to the Maxwell lineup, diversifying the usual Chinese and Singaporean offerings. For those who appreciate biryani in its most traditional and aromatic form, PAKISTANI DUM BIRYANI SG provides an authentic experience that stands apart from the more commonly found Hyderabadi or South Indian styles in Singapore.

We had to come here 3 times to get this amazing biryani, the chef was sold out the previous times. It was SO worth the wait.
This was the best biryani I’ve had, I think. Perfectly fluffy and flavorful rice, tender mutton that melts in your mouth, a spicy sauce that pulls it all together. Wow!

A great example of a passionate chef putting his heart into every dish. The menu is simple—biryani, pulao, or a mix— with your choice of mutton, chicken, or just rice. …

Seller was really friendly. Food portion is more than enough for one person. Really delicious, recommend getting their pulao if you’re not a fan of heavy meal like the biryani. Else, the biryani is nice too if you’re a fan of biryani! buy …
