Chicken Biryani at Shahi Zaika Restaurant - Indian & Pakistani food in Westwinds, Calgary NE

About Our Chicken Biryani

Biryani is a celebration dish, and ours is made the traditional dum way: chicken marinated in yogurt, ginger, garlic, and whole spices is layered with par-cooked basmati rice, fried onions, and fresh herbs, then sealed and slow-steamed so the flavours mingle.

Reviewers say our biryani “tastes just like back home” — the highest compliment desi food can earn. Served with cooling raita, it works equally well for a quick weeknight takeout near Westwinds Corner or a large family order for a weekend gathering in northeast Calgary.

Premium long-grain basmati rice cooked to a perfect fluff
Chicken marinated overnight in yogurt and whole spices
