Best Nasi Briyani in Shah Alam

Pak Anjang’s Johorean-style Nasi Briyani Gam comes with a side dish of dalca curry, acar timun (pickled cucumber) and sambal. But the star of this mouth-watering dish is the flavourful combination of spice-infused briyani rice and the accompanied meat dish that is cooked altogether prior to serving. If you’re here for Nasi Briyani Gam, go for chicken or mutton version!

While Khan’s is known for serving authentic Pakistani dishes such as Keema and Chicken Karahi, one of their signature dishes you can’t afford to miss is briyani rice. You can opt for beef or chicken, but their lamb shank briyani is the one to die for! The lamb shank is juicy and goes well with the fragrant briyani rice. A heavenly combo!

True to its name, this restaurant offers a variety of briyani dishes ranging from chicken, beef and mutton. In fact, the chicken alone comes in three cooking methods, namely ayam goreng rempah (spiced fried chicken) and ayam masak merah! Served in either standard briyani rice or Briyani Gam, the dish deserves a thumb up for its authentic Johorean style.

The nasi briyani lamb certainly looks the part when it comes to a great plate of briyani rice. The portion is quite large, with equally large chunks of boned lamb pieces to go along with it. There’s also great attention to detail when it comes to the garnish, with chilli slices that are neatly arranged and a chunk of coriander that’s nicely placed on top. As far as the lamb goes, it falls off the bone almost effortlessly, leaving chunks of lamb that are succulent and ready for eating. The combination of this and the fragrant briyani rice is a sure winner.

While Kedai Makan Shahza offers a variety of briyani dishes including ayam masak merah, beef and chicken, it is their mutton version that ranks the best. Served in a true Johorean style, Shahza’s mutton briyani is cooked to fragrant perfection. The mutton is soft and tender, while the briyani rice is appetising enough when paired together with dalca curry and pickled cucumbers.

Unlike typical briyani dishes, Sahara Tent’s version is served with tomato gravy. The briyani rice is well-infused with spices, while the roasted meat varieties (chicken or lamb) are blessed with fall-off-the-bone tenderness! But if you’re up for something different other than chicken or lamb briyani, you can also savour their delicious shrimp version.

One of the most sought-after dishes in Syed Kadir is the signature briyani version of nasi bukhara. The dish uses high-quality basmati rice and infused with assorted spices to aromatic perfection. Here, you have an extensive choice of dish including chicken, mutton, fish, prawns and even venison meat to go with your nasi bukhara! Completing this delicious rice dish is a savoury combination of curry, a whole-boiled egg and acar served as side dishes.
