Best Nasi Briyani in PJ

Written by Updated ago

Rice is more than just a food. It’s a necessity, it’s a way of life and of course, it’s what made us Malaysians. Now add that with briyani, it’s like a match made in heaven. Frankly, it’s easy to see why: basmati rice is infused with assorted herbs and spices. And then, the rice is cooked together with meat, seafood or vegetables for hours until the overall dish is flavourful enough. Served with curry and side dishes, this dish is all ready to be served. With all the rich ingredients tossed together with the this rice, no wonder it was known as one of the quintessential Malaysian dishes worth drooling for.

    If you are tired of the same old local briyani rice, you might want to consider the one served at the Chennai-based Anjappar. Served traditionally in a steel pot, the briyani rice is steeped heavily with spices. The rice is so full of flavour, yet appetising enough and don’t be surprised if you find them addictive. It goes great with either chicken or mutton. If you’re into seafood, they even have a choice of fish or prawn to go along with your briyani rice.

    House Of Pakeeza

    The delectable North Indian vegetarian dish of palak paneer may have ranked as one of the must-order items here, but House of Pakeeza also serves satisfying nasi briyani. For starter, their plain briyani is tasty enough on its own. Thanks to a potent mix of herbs and spices, the briyani rice goes well with a dollop of curry. Topped with a few meat of your choice (their juicy mutton is an excellent complement here), the word “fragrant” will definitely linger into your mind as you savour upon every bite.

    Tips

    You can call for reservations.

    Things to expect

    It’s like stepping into the past when you enter the restaurant filled with old-fashioned décor.
