Ramiza's Dum Briyani

Located at the vibrant Geylang Serai Market and Food Centre, Ramiza Dum Briyani has established itself as a purveyor of premium yet affordable dum briyani in Singapore Malay heartlands. This Muslim-owned establishment specializes in the traditional dum cooking method, where marinated meat and fragrant basmati rice are layered in a pot, sealed, and slow-cooked to allow the flavours to meld into aromatic perfection.

The dum briyani technique, originating from Mughal kitchens, requires patience and expertise. Each pot is carefully sealed to trap steam, allowing the rice to absorb the complex spices from the marinated meat below while maintaining distinct layers of flavour and texture. The result is biryani that delivers intense aromatics with every forkful, where saffron-tinted rice mingles with tender meat in a symphony of spices - cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, and bay leaves working in harmony.

Operating from Block 1, Geylang Serai Malay Market and Food Centre, Ramiza serves the eastern community with biryani that balances authenticity and affordability. The establishment continues the proud tradition of dum biryani in Singapore, where this royal dish has been adapted to local tastes while maintaining the essential techniques that make it special.
