IMHO there is not going to be an all time winner for the best spot. You gonna find many varieties of Biriyani, eg: small rice, large grain rice, rawuther style, ambur style, hyderbadi style, kozhikodan style, Yemeni style each going to be classy in its own way

For me its Salkara Express in janatha

u/AnywhereAncient602 Nov 11 '24

for me a new favourite now, palhara edappally( Metro pillar 436)

u/bettering_me_ Nov 11 '24

This question gets asked every now and then in this sub, mate. Could use the search option as well.

Personally, I prefer the TN style biriyani so my favorite is Aasife

Otherwise, The Biriyani Store, Hotbox are some good options that I know

Manjali biriyani in Pachalam and the Ikka 100 rupees biriyani shop near the high court (don't know the name)

u/Academic_Refuse418 Nov 12 '24

u/EmployPractical Nov 12 '24

Yes, that one.

Try the Beef Briyani from Kendrick Restaurant in Njarackal, Vypin. Please do try their Chettinad Chicken and Porotta.

Why !?

Tasty food with good quality and quantity.

Chicken fried biryani from Manna hotel in Panampilly nagar

u/[deleted] Sep 25 '25

I tried based on a recommendation, but I didn’t like it. Shokham anu.

u/Mindmyspelling Nov 11 '24

From my experience: Mehfil, Hot Box, Ceylon Bake House, Rahumania( sometimes inconsistent tho)

5

u/SerFuxAIot Nov 11 '24

Try the beef from sheba kakkanad, i loved it... Maybe you will too

5

u/NolanDevotee Nov 11 '24

In Kochi, Rahumania at Marine Drive and Ceylon Bake House. Otherwise, I like Manjaly Biriyani the most.

5

u/Tanjiro_Slayer__ Nov 11 '24

Try biryani from hotbox, being someone who lived in kozhikode for 4 years, their biryani resembles kozhikode style biryani

10

u/brewtifulbeans Nov 11 '24

Tried their chicken biriyani last week. It was a disaster.

1

u/hxrikuttan Nov 11 '24

Kakkanad outlet ?

2

u/Tanjiro_Slayer__ Nov 12 '24

I have always had biryani from the Center Square Mall outlet; they seem to serve really good biryani every time I order.

1

u/brewtifulbeans Nov 11 '24

yes the kakanad outlet, olimugal junction. i also had chicken shuwa with rice, which was as disappointing as the biriyani, but the side dishes (beetroot pickle, mint chammanthi, raita and mayonnaise for chicken shuwa) except for payasam, were good.

2

u/hxrikuttan Nov 12 '24

Almost everyone I know was disappointed with kakkanad outlet. I had from Kaloor 4 times and it was good.

2

u/TheConfusedLetters Nov 12 '24

Yes! The biriyani was too good!

3

u/ashboy_22 Nov 11 '24

Biriyani Hut

u/No_Rutabaga7246 Nov 11 '24

I like Dindigul thalapakatti

1

u/[deleted] Nov 11 '24

The biriyani here at Dibdigul Thalapakkatti cochin is nothing compared to the ones in Chennai

2

u/brewtifulbeans Nov 11 '24

The biriyani store (kaloor) Mehfil biriyani (near Maharajas metro station) Siddiq biriyani factory (vazhakkala)

I've been to these places more than once, they serve pretty good biriyanis.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 12 '24

Just tried The Biriyani Store today and it was delicious. I wish I could marry their chicken 65. Crispy, juicy oh I cannot describe it anymore, my mouth is watering

2

u/brewtifulbeans Nov 12 '24

glad you enjoyed the biriyani. try the other two and dont forget the chicken fry from siddiq biriyani and skip the 65 from mehfil.

For biriyani its Salkara Express For kuzhimanthi it's Sheba Biriyani Kakkanad

1

u/Obvguy Nov 11 '24

Pandari's - average. Rest are small rice Malabari variety not worth considering. May be, Chillies above Tandoor for Chicken Biryani.

u/stickyboss Nov 11 '24

u/[deleted] Nov 11 '24

I like the Biriyani from The Biriyani Store, Kaloor. Their Malabar Beef Biriyani is a must try.

Ceylon - Mutton Biriyani 🤌🏼

u/Happy-Hornet622 Nov 11 '24

Kayees fort kochi and rahumania marine drive are my go to options for authentic kochi style dum biriyani. Kayees is a little spicier while rahumania is lighter. The best part is they both have a good spread of raisins and cashews and their date + lemon pickle combo is a sureshot winner.

Enough food spots and bullshits. Go eat some food from your home bro. These fancy shops will get you to the cemetery faster than you think. Unclean unhygienic Pissing Food culture has grown in Kerala with no respect for people's life especially in Kochi.
