However, one of the best biryani in India would be Hyderabadi biryani. With almost the most number of Biryanis ordered from Hyderabad, the city can almost be called the biryani capital of India.

Biryani originated in Persia and was brought to India by the Mughals. The word "biryani" comes from the Persian "birian," meaning "fried before cooking." It gained popularity in India during the Mughal Empire and evolved into various regional styles, such as Hyderabadi and Lucknowi, each with unique spices and ingredients.

World Biryani Day or International Biryani Day was started by Daawat in July 2022. Since then, biryani day has been celebrated every year on the 1st Sunday of July.
