Love Biryani? From Bengaluru and Hyderabad to Kolkata and Lucknow, check out this epic bucket list of 18 iconic biryani eateries across India.

Through their venture Karigar Biryani, Chennai-based hoteliers Kannan Velayudham and Girish Subhash have revived the perunchoru (meaning grand rice), which was created by Cheran King Uthiyan. The biryani is packed and delivered in handmade palm leaf boxes.

The menu is unlike any other no-frills eatery. The only options here are six varieties of pav bhaji, a few side dishes, 11 types of fresh juice, five varieties of seasonal milkshakes and cold beverages.
