Ajmir Briyani has established itself as one of Singapore's most reliable sources for authentic dum briyani, operating primarily from their pitch at the Admiralty MRT overhead bridge every Friday through Sunday from 8am to 12pm. This weekend ritual has built them a loyal following among northern residents and briyani enthusiasts willing to travel for quality. The restaurant also maintains a catering operation for islandwide delivery and makes appearances at various pasar malams and bazaars across Singapore.
The halal-certified establishment offers an extensive briyani menu spanning Fried Chicken Briyani, Ayam Masak Merah Briyani, Beef Briyani, Mutton Briyani, Prawn Briyani, and Fish Briyani. However, the standout remains their signature Lambshank Briyani featuring tender, slow-cooked lamb shank that falls off the bone with ease, paired with fragrant basmati rice infused with a rich blend of aromatic spices. Every set comes complete with curry gravy and tangy achar that balances the richness of the rice.
Reviews consistently highlight the Mutton Briyani () as exceptionally soft and tender, with many declaring it among Singapore's best. The affordability combined with generous portions makes Ajmir Briyani particularly popular with families who buy it regularly for special occasions and weekend meals. While some diners find certain items like the fried chicken briyani can be dry or plain, the mutton and lamb offerings maintain strong reputations. For those unable to catch them at Admiralty, their catering service brings these same flavours island-wide for gatherings and events.
