Kacchi Biryani - A Symphony of Spice, Slow-Cooked in Tradition First Chapter of Biryani Diaries - From Dhaka, With Love
Unlike its cooked-meat cousins, the Kacchi Biryani begins with raw, marinated lamb - infused with yogurt, nutmeg, mace, long green chillies, and browned onions - layered with fragrant rice, saffron, and ghee before being sealed and slow-cooked on dum. Every grain absorbs the marinade, every bite carries depth, warmth, and bold aroma.
A legacy from Dhaka’s wedding feasts and festival tables, this biryani is unctuous, celebratory, and unapologetically rich - made with care, tradition, and trust in time. Now at BKC, it’s our tribute to the kind of biryani that lingers in memory long after the last grain.

From Chowk to Curry - The Secrets of Our Masala Box Spices That Carry the Soul of Lucknow
In the heart of Lucknow’s bustling Chowk bazaar, generations have traded in scent, flavour, and memory. At BKC, we carry that tradition forward with our Masala Box - filled with hand-pounded garam masalas, ittar-scented blends, and single-origin spices that define every dish we serve.
From the smoked saffron in our biryani to the mustard-kissed rub on our kebabs, this isn’t just seasoning - it’s a spice route from India to your plate in London. Each dabba holds a story. Each pinch, a passport.

We began our global biryani trail with a dish that feels both distant and deeply familiar - the legendary Kacchi Biryani of Bangladesh. Cooked with raw marinated lamb, nestled beneath fragrant rice, it’s sealed and slow-cooked on dum - a process that draws flavour from within, not added later.
Much like our Awadhi biryanis, it celebrates patience, layering, and that unmistakable aroma of ghee, saffron and spice. The difference? Where Awadh lays cooked meat, Dhaka begins from the raw - yet both traditions stir the same emotion. A biryani born across the border, bonded in technique and soul.

Behind every plate that leaves our kitchen lies not just skill - but soul. At BKC London, flavours are guided by Head Chef Arsh Thakur, whose precision honours Lucknow’s royal kitchens, and Executive Sous Chef Deepankar Paul, whose journey from Kolkata to London bridges heritage with innovation. Together with our kitchen team, they bring India’s culinary soul to every handi, kebab, and cup of chai.
Each meal at BKC is slow-cooked, hand-finished, and plated with pride - a quiet dialogue between fire, spice, and time. From the first hiss of ghee to the last sprinkle of saffron, theirs are the hands that make BKC what it is: a home of heritage, plated with heart!
When Lucknow was crowned a UNESCO City of Gastronomy, it wasn’t just an honour - it was a tribute to centuries of culinary poetry. From the royal kitchens of Awadh to the smoky handis of Idris, Wahid, Lalla, and Mubeen, every corner of the city hums with the scent of saffron, slow-cooked rice, and soul. Lucknow’s biryani isn’t just food; it’s an inheritance - refined, aromatic, and steeped in time-honoured grace.
At BKC London, that legacy finds a new home - one handi at a time. Our Awadhi Dum Biryani captures the craft that made Lucknow legendary: hand-pounded masalas, long-grain basmati, and a seal of dough that locks in royalty with every breath of steam. From Tunday Galouti Kebabs to Sharmaji Ki Karak Chai, this is where heritage meets heart. Because when it comes to biryani in the city - biryani matlab BKC in London.
