Best Biriyani in Kochi

Best biriyani in Kochi is a big claim, so here is what stands behind it. Calicut Topform at Vyttila serves the same Calicut style chicken biriyani that Topform has cooked in Kozhikode since 1975, now close to the Vyttila junction.

What makes Calicut biriyani different

Calicut biriyani is not the heavy, red biryani found in many cities. It uses short grain rice, slow cooked chicken, fried onions, ghee and a gentle blend of whole spices.

The result is fragrant, soft and balanced rather than fiery. Each plate is cooked dum style, so the rice absorbs the masala as it steams.
