  • 1kg of Awadhi Magic: The Handi Biryani Experience!

    Multiple dates available
    BKC (Biryani, Kebab, Chai) reimagines Awadhi culinary traditions with its signature 1kg Handi Biryani, bringing the rich heritage of Dum Pukht cooking to life in London. The dining experience is a theatrical celebration, where the sealed handi arrives at the table, and diners participate in the dramatic unveiling, releasing aromatic steam infused with saffron, spices, and marinated meats. This moment, evocative of Lucknow’s Nawabi feasts, is a feast for the senses and perfect for social media. The eco-friendly clay handi not only enhances the biryani's flavour and moisture through its porous, slow-heating properties but also supports sustainability and artisan livelihoods, as it is biodegradable and handcrafted by traditional potters.

    Love this unassuming restaurant at the bottom end of the Edgware Road near Marble Arch . The food is delicious and I had to return for a second visit (and will return again!). Service is warm and friendly and every dish bursts with flavours. They also do the best proper chai tea I’ve experienced in London. A little unassuming gem bursting with deliciousness.

    Casual Indian restaurant with friendly service. Food is good but very stingy on size, we literally got 2 pieces of chicken the size of a thumb for the curry, and 4 small cubes of lamb in the gosht.

    Wasn't sure what to expect but BKC was amazing. One of the most reasonably priced meals we've had in London in a long time (£25pp with a drink) for delicious food and good service. We will definitely be back!
