Discover our award-winning Chicken Biryani, a Masala Tree masterpiece. Aromatic basmati rice is layered with marinated chicken, caramelized onions, saffron, and house-blend spices, then cooked “dum” style to seal in flavor.
Chicken Biryani is a timeless Indian classic and a signature favorite at Masala Tree Edmonton. We marinate chicken in yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, and biryani spices, then sear it to lock in flavor. Aromatic basmati rice is par-boiled with whole spices, layered with the chicken and saffron-infused milk, and slow-cooked on dum for a fragrant, flavorful finish.
Each bite delivers tender chicken, fluffy rice, and an irresistible symphony of spices. Served with raita and our house salad, it’s the perfect comfort food—whether you’re celebrating or simply craving a taste of authentic India.
