Dubai’s food scene has a new player, and it’s one that knows exactly how to grab attention. House of Biryan (HOB), a chef-driven quick-service brand born in India, has just set up shop in the city with cloud kitchens in Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC) and Mirdif. Their mission? To take India’s most loved comfort dish and give it a fresh spin, delivered hot, quick, and made to your taste. So are you ready to customise your biryani?
House of Biryan Lands in Dubai, Lets You Customise Your Biryani
House of Biryan started back in 2022 with a simple idea: treat biryani the way the world treats pizza, universal, customisable, and perfect for sharing. The brand was co-founded by Mohammed K. Bhol and Chef Mikhail Shahani, two hospitality veterans who wanted to rethink how people enjoy this classic dish.
In just two years, HOB has gone from a single kitchen in Mumbai to 20 outlets across India, dishing out over 10 million bowls of biryani. Now, Dubai is getting a slice of that action.
“Dubai isn’t just another pin on the map,” Bhol says. “It’s a melting pot of cultures and cravings. We’re not here to freeze biryani in time, we’re here to evolve it for today’s lifestyles and palates.”
Your Biryani, Your Way
What makes HOB stand out is its build-your-own-biryani model. Want it fiery? Go for it. Prefer mild, vegetarian, or extra protein? That’s an option too. The brand has leaned on technology to make the process seamless, so every order is customised and still lands on your doorstep without delay.
It’s biryani designed for modern urban life, where choice and speed matter as much as flavour. And honestly, the fun is in knowing that no two bowls have to be the same.
A Menu That Plays Both Safe and Bold
Of course, not everyone wants to customise, and HOB has thought about that too. Their Dubai kitchens feature a menu that mixes classic biryanis with experimental signatures. Expect the usual saffron aromas and slow-cooked rice alongside new sauces, sides, and combinations that keep things interesting.
Every bowl is made with fresh ingredients and a chef’s touch, but built for delivery. That means no soggy rice, no shortcuts, just food that travels well without losing its punch.

Why Dubai?
By choosing JVC and Mirdif for its first UAE kitchens, House of Biryan is clearly aiming at neighbourhoods buzzing with families, foodies, and young professionals who love a quick, flavour-packed meal. For the brand, this is not just expansion; it’s about redefining how biryani fits into daily life.
So, whether you’re craving a traditional Hyderabadi kick, a coastal-style mellow bowl, or something you’ve tweaked to match your mood, HOB promises one thing: your biryani, your rules.
And if Dubai’s love for big flavours is anything to go by, this could be the start of a new comfort food revolution in the city.
