Student Biryani | Al Barsha

Student Biryani is one of Pakistan's most iconic restaurant brands, with roots going back to 1969. What began as a humble street stall in Karachi has grown, over more than five decades, into one of the most recognized and trusted names in South Asian dining across the UAE. The Al Barsha branch carries on that same spirit, bringing the authentic taste of desi cuisine to Dubai. The menu is built around a wide range of biryanis, prepared with chicken, beef, mutton, BBQ meats and chicken tikka, alongside a vegetarian option for those who prefer it. Fans of traditional curries can enjoy karahi, nihari, haleem and beef qeema, while the grill selection includes chargha, chicken tikka, seekh kabab and fish tikka. Breakfast lovers can start the day with halwa puri, omelettes and a warming chana curry, and the meal is rounded off with classic desserts such as kheer, sweet saffron rice, carrot halwa and rabri. Every dish is prepared by classically trained chefs using traditional cooking methods passed down through generations. Beyond dine-in service, the Al Barsha branch also offers catering for events and gatherings, as well as franchise opportunities for those interested in joining the brand. Student Biryani has several other branches across Dubai, including Al Karama, Silicon Oasis and Jumeirah Village Circle, and is also present in Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ajman.
