Baghdadi Biryani · Jamia Nagar, New Delhi

Our Team

The hands, minds and hearts behind every handi.

Riwayat is carried by people, not recipes.

Since November 2024, Baghdadi Biryani has served over a lakh plates of dum pukht biryani from Jamia Nagar. Behind that journey is a small, cross-functional team — a kitchen led by three decades of experience, and a leadership that brings together commerce, technology, engineering and storytelling to take this riwayat from local streets to global plates.
