London's Biryani Boom: Food, Business And Bonding | Out Of Britain

In London, biryani is no longer just a dish — it's a conversation starter, a comfort food and even a business tool. In this episode of Out Of Britain, NDTV's Radhika Iyer explores how biryani has moved from being a niche South Asian favourite to one of the most talked-about meals in the UK. From Brick Lane to Edgware Road and beyond, restaurants are seeing a biryani boom. Professionals use it to connect with clients, offices order it as the universal lunch, and chefs are reinventing it with clay pots and modern twists. Along the way, masala chai — often with oat milk — is emerging as London’s new urban obsession. A story of spice, culture and community — told through the dish that brings Britain and Bharat to the same table.
