Old Dhaka Biryani

Old Dhaka is the heartland of Bangladeshi biryani, from mutton kacchi cooked with raw marinated meat and potato to the mustard-oil scented pakki style. Haji Biryani in Nazira Bazar has served its goat biryani since 1939 and sells out by afternoon. Other shops around Nazira Bazar, Bangshal and Chankharpul serve kacchi, tehari and morog polao. Eat it with borhani, a tangy spiced yoghurt drink.
