We’ve all been there.
One minute, you’re peacefully scrolling through Instagram Reels, the next—BOOM—some overly excited food influencer is dramatically moaning over a spoonful of biriyani like they just discovered gold beneath the rice.
വെറും Hype.. കുറേ ക്യാഷ് ഉണ്ട്… അത് എങ്ങനെ influencers കൊട്ത്ത് promote ആക്കന്നെ
So, I did what any self-respecting foodie (with trust issues) would do: I got influenced.
The culprit? The ever-so-hyped Hot Chicken Dum Biriyani in Qatar.
Now listen, I know they usually serve sandwiches and snacks at this place, but when they casually dropped the word “dum biriyani” into the mix, my ears perked up like a desi aunty hearing neighborhood gossip.
So naturally, I decided to go big or go broke. Here’s what I ordered:
- 5 Chicken Dum Biriyanis
- 4 Beef Dum Biriyanis
- 1 Chicken Tawa Fry
- 1 Chicken Porichath
- 1 Beef Coconut Fry
That’s not a meal. That’s a small wedding.
🍗 Chicken Dum Biriyani – Or Should I Say… Fried Chicken on Rice?
First bite. Silence.
Not because I was savoring the flavor. But because there was none.
The chicken in this so-called Hot Chicken Dum Biriyani in Qatar was just… fried. No trace of that rich, slow-cooked dum flavor.
Just a lot of curry leaves, cloves, cardamom—basically your neighborhood spice shop dumped into a bucket—and mixed with plain basmati rice.

🐄 Beef Dum Biriyani – The Mystery Meat Edition
Now to the Beef Dum Biriyani. Same rice. Same spices. Same depression.
Only difference? You get beef chunks with a mood disorder.
Some pieces were tender and soft, like they’d been slow-cooked with love.
Others? Hard enough to use as building material.

🔥 Chicken Tawa Fry – Almost There, But Not Quite
Out of everything I ordered, the Chicken Tawa Fry had some potential. The flavor was strong, like a good masala movie. But sadly, the chicken pieces were so hard, I felt like I was chewing through a tire.
Poll 5:
🍗 Chicken Porichath – AKA Chicken 65 Wearing a Disguise
This one had main character syndrome but zero originality.
Basically, Chicken 65 in a new costume. Nothing “porichath” about it.
Definitely not worth the QR I paid.
Poll 6:
🥥 Beef Coconut Fry – A Tragedy in Three Acts
This was the dish that truly broke me.
Imagine someone boiled beef until all flavor ran away, then threw some powdered spices and coconut flakes like confetti.
That’s Beef Coconut Fry.

📦 Quantity: Small Blessings in Disguise
Now, let’s talk quantity.
Each biriyani box was smaller than my expectations from the influencer.
But honestly, thankfully small—because no one wanted seconds. Not even the family member who eats anything.

🎯 Final Thoughts – Sandwiches Good, Biriyani Bad
Would I recommend Hot Chicken Dum Biriyani in Qatar?
No.
Unless your goal is to waste money, test your emotional limits, and write a blog about it—do not order their biriyani.
To be fair, their sandwiches are genuinely good.
Stick to what they do best. Toast it, don’t dum it.
