Our Story

Crafted with Patience,
Served with Pride

DumDarbar Biryani began in a small kitchen in Pune. We still marinate our meat overnight, layer our rice by hand, and never rush the dum.

Every pot is a ceremony — saffron milk drizzled at the right moment, fried onions scattered like gold, and the lid sealed with dough so not a whisper of steam escapes.

We serve authentic Hyderabadi dum biryani by the kilogram across Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad (PCMC). Our cloud kitchen delivers to 20 areas — Bhosari, Charoli, Chinchwad, Chikhali, Dighi, Dhanori, Indrayani Nagar, Khadki, Moshi, New Sangvi, Pimpri, Pimple Gurav, Pimple Nilakh, Pimple Saudagar, Spine Road, Viman Nagar, Vishal Nagar, Vishrantwadi, Wakad, and Yerwada — with free delivery on every order above ₹999 in Bhosari, Charoli, Dighi, Indrayani Nagar, and Spine Road, and area-based delivery fees elsewhere that are waived above ₹2,499.

Our minimum order is 1 KG Family Feast. Every handi is cooked fresh only after your pre-order — never reheated and never pre-made.

  • 100% natural ingredients — no shortcuts
  • No harmful food colours
  • Standard-grade cooking oil
  • Authentic aged Basmati rice
  • Pure premium ghee
Why DumDarbar

Real Hyderabadi Dum Biryani, Made Fresh for You

From overnight marination to the final dum — here is what goes into every handi we serve in Pune and PCMC.

The Dum Cooking Process

True Hyderabadi biryani is cooked on dum — slow steam cooking in a sealed handi. At DumDarbar, chicken is marinated overnight in yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, and our house spice blend. Aged Basmati rice is washed, soaked, and partially cooked before layering begins.

Each layer is assembled by hand: fragrant rice, marinated meat or vegetables, fried onions, fresh mint, and saffron-infused milk. The handi is sealed with dough so no steam escapes. It then cooks on low heat until every grain is separate and every piece is tender. We never use a microwave, never reheat yesterday's pot, and never take shortcuts with artificial colours.

Generous Portions by the Kilogram

Every DumDarbar order is measured honestly by total cooked weight. A KG Family Feast is authentic Hyderabadi dum biryani by the kilogram — choose 1 KG (serves 2–3), 2 KG (serves 5–7), 4 KG (serves 10–14), or 6 KG (serves 15–20) with chicken, paneer, seasonal vegetables, or egg.

Celebrating at home? Choose 4 KG or 6 KG Family Feast packs — ideal for birthdays, house parties, office lunches, and weekend gatherings. Our party order biryani packs offer the best value when you need to feed a crowd without compromising on taste.

Our Biryani Varieties

Whether you prefer vegetarian, chicken, or egg — each variety follows the same dum tradition and generous portion sizing:

  • Veg Biryani — Seasonal vegetables layered with spiced Basmati rice, slow-cooked on dum with pure ghee.
  • Paneer Biryani — Soft paneer cubes marinated in aromatic spices, paired with fragrant long-grain rice.
  • Paneer Tikka Biryani — Smoky marinated paneer tikka layered with spiced Basmati and slow-cooked on dum.
  • Kaju Biryani — A premium vegetarian choice with cashews, ideal for special occasions and guests.
  • Chicken Biryani — Bone-in chicken marinated overnight, layered with rice for a classic Hyderabadi flavour.
  • Hyderabadi Chicken Dum Biryani — Our signature dish. Marinated chicken sealed and slow-cooked on dum — the authentic taste Pune biryani lovers search for.
  • Chicken Boneless Biryani — Tender boneless chicken pieces for those who prefer easy eating without sacrificing spice or depth.
  • Egg Biryani and Egg Dum Biryani — Boiled eggs layered with rice; the dum version is slow-steamed for richer, deeper flavour.

All chicken biryani orders include matching rice and chicken portions. You can add extra chicken at ₹250 per ½ KG when you want an even meatier handi.
