Chicken Biryani in Dubai: How to Build a Complete Pakistani Meal

Biryani is often enough to be the main event, but a few well-chosen sides can turn it into a more complete Pakistani meal. Pak Handi’s menu lists a house Chicken Biryani alongside Mutton Biryani, Afghani Special Pulao and Nalli Pulao.

Start with the rice as the centre of the order

When biryani is the main dish, avoid adding too many other rice items. Instead, add one grill or kebab for texture and one cooling drink. This keeps the meal varied without repeating the same role on the plate.

Biryani plus BBQ works well for groups

A grilled item such as chicken tikka, boti or seekh kebab adds smoky flavour and is easy to divide across the table. For a larger group, a mixed platter can be simpler than ordering several individual grill items.

When to choose pulao instead

Pulao is useful when you want an aromatic rice dish with a different flavour profile from biryani. Pak Handi’s menu lists Afghani Special Pulao and Nalli Pulao, giving diners a couple of alternatives when building a shared rice order.

Finish with the right drink

Karak tea is a strong finish after a meal, while lassi or juice can work during the meal. Choose based on whether you want something cooling, refreshing or warm at the end.
