With biryani shops popping up everyday in Pune city and their prices making you question the quality you may get, it’s become difficult to find that one trustworthy place for our beloved Biryani! As per Zomato’s reports, Biryani is the most ordered dish in India. Given this, how many places can you actually count on for biryani that has good quality meat, oil, spices and Basmati rice?
Allow us to introduce you to a Biryani speciality restaurant that has been dishing out dum biryani in Dhankawadi, Pune since 1985 i.e. 35+ years now! Urmil Biryani run by Mr Shetty on Pune-Satara road is highly recommended by the residents staying in the surroundings for good quality of meat, desi ghee and Basmati rice that goes into making their chicken and mutton dum biryani.
The place is usually crowded with regulars and families during lunch and dinner hours. We tried the traditional Mutton Dum Biryani and it packed all the essential biryani flavours and didn’t get any bad meat smell or cheap fats/oil odour. The biryani is dum-cooked using ‘kaccha mutton’ that retains all the flavours of goat mutton and the meat almost falls off the bone.
The Mutton Dum Biryani priced at Rs. 380/- for a full plate comes with a bowl of Rassa and sliced onions. Quite frankly, the biryani on its own is so flavorful that you don’t need rassa along. You can order a chapati or roti to finish off that bowl of tasty rassa or just slurp it up!
Highly recommended for those who swear by good biryani and won’t take a substandard preparation in the name of Biryani. This is an authentic and a harcore one; and yes, one of the best mutton biryanis in Pune!
