Dum Biryani Handi Counter in Pune

It starts at about ₹450 per plate and moves with the dish selection, guest count and how long the counter runs. That rate already carries the chefs, the stewards, the counter equipment and the clearance afterwards. Call +91 96731 98867 for a written quote the same day.

Clears a room faster than any buffet dish — handis opened in staggered batches. Scale here is measured in handis, not counters. One counter can serve a very large room provided the batch sizes and the opening times are set against the guest count before the date.

8 x 6 feet, plus holding space for the sealed handis. Power and fuel: one 15A power point or approved gas connection.

Opens when the mains open, and the handis are broken in staggered batches after that, so the last serving comes out of a sealed pot rather than off the bottom of the first one.

Yes — counter-wise booking is standard with us. Add it to a buffet, combine it with two or three other counters, or run it alone at a smaller function.

The vegetarian handi is cooked, sealed, carried and opened separately, with its own serving spoons. A veg biryani ladled from a shared handi is not vegetarian, and the spoon is where it usually goes wrong. Jain: a subz biryani layered without onion, garlic or potato, using paneer, peas and cashew, with a burhani raita made without garlic — burhani is a garlic raita by definition, so it is rebuilt rather than omitted. Vegan: the standard biryani is ghee-layered, so the vegan handi runs on oil with a coconut-milk finish, and the raita is replaced with a mint and coriander chutney.

All of Pune city, Pimpri-Chinchwad, the Hinjewadi-Wakad corridor, Hadapsar-Kharadi, the Lonavala-Khandala belt and Panchgani-Mahabaleshwar, including farmhouse and resort venues on the expressway and in the hills.
