SPICE ROOM serves Denver's best biryani — tawa-style chicken, lamb, goat, and vegetable biryani finished on a blazing-hot flat iron griddle with aged basmati, saffron, mint, and caramelized onions. Rated 4.8 stars. All meats halal. Three Denver-area locations.
Why Denver Chooses SPICE ROOM for Biryani
Real biryani isn't fried rice with curry. Ours is tawa-style — marinated meat and parboiled basmati tossed and finished on a blazing-hot flat iron griddle so the spices bloom, the rice picks up a faintly smoky aroma, and every grain takes on the flavor of the protein. A different technique from the more common Hyderabadi sealed-pot dum, with a character all its own.

What makes SPICE ROOM's biryani traditional?
We use the tawa-style griddle technique — marinated meat and parboiled basmati are tossed and finished together on a blazing-hot flat iron griddle (tawa) rather than the more common Hyderabadi sealed-pot dum method.
