How is lamb biryani different from chicken?

Lamb is richer and deeper in flavour, slow-cooked until tender before it is layered with the rice.

Should I order ahead?

It helps, since the lamb is slow-cooked. Weekend pickup or Uber Eats delivery in range.

Lamb is milder; mutton is richer.

Can I order lamb biryani on Uber Eats?

No. Lamb biryani is not on our online menu. Call or text (647) 449-2924 to order it.

Can I get lamb biryani for a party?

Call us with your headcount and date and we will talk through quantities and a quote.

What goes well with lamb biryani?

Something sharp or sweet to cut the richness: pineapple curry, eggplant moju, acharu or a mango lassi.

Lamb Biryani in Scarborough

Slow-cooked lamb layered with basmati and steamed together. The richest of our biryanis.

Lamb biryani at Blessed Kitchen Scarborough

Lamb biryani is the richest of our biryanis. Lamb is slow-cooked until tender and full of spice, then layered with basmati and steamed together so the rice soaks up the deeper, heavier flavour that lamb gives. It costs a little more and takes longer, which is exactly why it is worth ordering.

What makes it good

The lamb is cooked down on its own first until it is soft, then folded into the layered rice. You get tender meat and rice that has taken on all of it. Served with raita to balance the richness.

Ordering lamb biryani

Lamb biryani is not on our online menu, so call or text (647) 449-2924 to order it. Lamb is milder and more tender than mutton, which makes it a good choice for guests new to Sri Lankan food. Our mutton biryani ($12 single, or roughly $20 to $30 per person (quoted on menu and headcount) as a combo for 20+) is on the menu if you want the deeper, richer version.

Our chicken, beef and lamb are HMA-certified halal.

Allergy notes

Some of our dishes contain egg (kottu, egg masala, watalappan), dairy (yogurt sambal), fish (maasi sambal is made with dried Maldives fish) and nuts (green pea cashew curry). If anyone has an allergy, tell us when you order and we will tell you what to avoid.

What to tell us when you call

Since lamb biryani is arranged by phone or text, a little detail up front makes the order smooth. Send us:

How many portions you want.
Pickup on Saturday or Sunday, or delivery, and the address.
The occasion, a family dinner or a party, so we can talk about quantities.
Any allergies at the table.

Text or call (647) 449-2924 and we will confirm what we can do for your weekend.

Sides that suit lamb

Lamb is rich, so it pairs best with something sharp or sweet. From our menu, pineapple curry and eggplant moju (both on request) cut through the richness, acharu adds sourness, and a Mango Lassi ($6) cools things down. Finish with Vattalappam ($15) to share.

Lamb biryani for Eid al-Adha

Eid al-Adha is the festival of sacrifice, and lamb and goat are the traditional meats at many family tables that day. If you want lamb biryani for Eid, call as early as you can, because Eid weekends are our busiest.

Leftovers

Refrigerate within two hours and eat within three to four days. Reheat covered, with a sprinkle of water, so the rice does not dry out.

Compare with our mutton biryani or beef biryani.
