Authentic Indian Cuisine near Borehamwood

For Borehamwood diners, Dawat Bar and Kitchen in Queensbury offers a broad Indian menu, from street food and grills to slow-cooked curries and biryani, about 15 to 20 minutes away by car.

  • Street-food chaat
  • Tandoor grills and breads
  • Handi curries
  • Dum biryani with raita

Biryani done the slow way

Our six biryanis are cooked in the dum style: the pot is sealed so the rice and the meat or vegetables steam together, which keeps the grains separate and full of flavour. Choose from murgh tikka, Awadhi gosht, anda dum, tarkari, paneer dum or soya tikka biryani.

Each comes with yoghurt raita, which can be left off on request for vegan guests.

About us

Pair your biryani

A biryani is a meal in itself, but it is even better alongside a curry with plenty of sauce. Try a murgh tikka biryani with daal makhani, or a tarkari biryani with a channa masala. Add poppadums and a cucumber raita, and finish with fantastica or kulfi.
