Biryani Kebab Chai | Celebrate Holi with a Flavourful Feast at BKC London

Festivals are the time when we can cherish times of joy, community, bonding, and collective enjoyment. Holi is known as the festival of colours widely celebrated in India symbolizing the triumph of good over evil, unity and happiness. At BKC, we embrace the essence of Holi through our food, creating a vibrant culinary experience filled with flavours that bring people together. By providing delicious cuisine that blends traditional Indian street food, fragrant biryanis, and celebratory sweets that perfectly encapsulate this occasion. This holiday season, BKC London is the destination for those searching for “best Indian restaurants near me,” “Holi celebrations in London,” or “authentic Indian food in Soho.”

Our Holi menu, featuring delightful sweets and crisp chaats, is designed to entice your taste buds and transport you back to the bustling streets of India, where festivities are celebrated with unrivalled enthusiasm.

Biryani by Kilo: A Feast for All, a Legacy Reimagined!

Since introducing Biryani by Kilo at BKC London, our guests have been captivated by the Dum Pukht style biryani, prepared with aged basmati rice, saffron, and slow-cooked meats or vegetables. Each biryani is served in a traditional earthen handi, keeping the flavours intact and ensuring a truly authentic experience.

The Ritual of the Handi Biryani Experience

When you order a 1KG handi biryani, excitement grows as it reaches your table, sealed with golden dough. As our servers reveal the handi, the fragrant steam enriched with saffron and whole spices wafts through the air, marking the start of a feast fit for royalty. This reveal becomes a dramatic experience, amplifying the joy of dining with family and friends.

Sustainability and Tradition: The Legacy of the Handi

Each handi is crafted by local artisans in Hackney Wick, supporting sustainable craftsmanship while maintaining the authenticity of Dum Pukht cooking. Guests are welcome to take their handi home, repurposing it as a planter, keepsake, or cooking pot to keep their BKC experience alive beyond the meal.

Introducing Kolkata Style Biryani

In addition to our signature Lucknowi Biryanis, this Holi, we have also introduced Kolkata-style Biryani exclusively for the weekends. It is a fragrant, light, and delicately spiced dish with a distinctive touch of boiled eggs and potatoes. This regional speciality is a tribute to the diverse biryani culture of India, offering something new for our guests to savour.  BKC is also trying to introduce new weekend specials every week to add variety to the menu.
