Biryani is what Saffron Canmore is named for. Long-grain basmati is layered with marinated chicken and whole spices, then sealed and slow-cooked dum style so the aroma stays locked in until the lid comes off.
It arrives in generous mountain-town portions — guests regularly take half of it home for the next day. Served with raita, it is the dish to order on your first visit to our Railway Avenue chaat house.

"We had the Chicken Biryani and Butter Chicken along with Naan. Huge portions! Super flavorful and the chicken was so tender! We plan to return while we're here in Canmore!"

"Enjoy a healthy meal in the heart of the mountains! Serving freshly made Biryanis, street-style chaats, curries, and more. It's a perfect blend of spice, taste, and tradition."
