Our story

A royal kitchen, a family ritual

What began as a single copper handi in a Hyderabadi courtyard is today Royal Dum House — a house of dum biryani and Mughlai classics. Three generations later, we still seal every handi with dough, cook it over a low flame, and open it only at your table.

Our masalas are roasted and ground in-house each morning, our meats are marinated overnight, and our biryani rice is aged for a year before it ever meets the dum. Nothing is rushed; everything is layered.

  • Sealed-handi dum biryani, opened at the table
  • Mughlai curries finished with slow-browned onions
  • Freshly baked naan & roti from our clay tandoor
