For decades , Ali Nachia Briyani Dam stall had been operating at the railway station at Tanjong Pagar in addition to was known only equally The Tanjong Pagar Nasi Briyani.




Ali Nachia Briyani Dam stall moved to hither inwards Tanjong Pagar Plaza afterward the historic railway station ceased operations inwards 2011.



Ali Nachia Briyani Dam is a stall within Dingxin Mei Shi Coffee Shop on marking ii at Tanjong Pagar Plaza. It's at the within far correct halt , hidden past times pillars in addition to the drinks stall.



Ali Latif convey been inwards F & B for over four decades. He was a caterer earlier starting his pop nasi briyani stall at the railway station.



We had three sets served inwards shiny regular army manner steel trays - Victor in addition to I each had mutton briyani , in addition to Charlotte had chicken briyani. The briyani all costs S$7 a gear upwardly which I felt is really reasonable.

(Fish briyani is available on Fridays.)



The xanthous , orangish in addition to white mound of basmati rice buries the slice of mutton underneath.

At Ali Nachia , the nasi briyani is cooked (Hyderabadi) dum manner which way the rice in addition to meat are cooked together inwards a sealed pot. After cooking , they are kept warm separately in addition to are brought dorsum together when serving. Dum manner cooking allows the meat's natural flavours to infuse the rice.



The spices were really mild , the long basmati rice were calorie-free , tender , fluffy , had just the correct moistness in addition to really lilliputian grease. It is a tasty rice which nosotros tin dismiss swallow guilt free.



The meaty slice of mutton was quite generous - just slightly smaller than the apartment of my palm.



The (Australian sheep) mutton amongst os (I got the rib) was tender in addition to juicy inside. The season of the spices were mild in addition to the lamb's natural gaminess was relatively pronounced which I enjoy. In fact , I similar this lamb really much.



Raita in addition to achar add together some compaction in addition to mild zesty sourish zing to the meaty , spicy dish.

👉 I like Ali Nachia Briyani Dam mainly for the rich gamey tender mutton in addition to the feathery calorie-free fluffy rice. The spiciness in addition to smell marking is on the mild side in addition to doesn't actually seize amongst teeth or exit a deep impression. If I am roughly Tanjong Pagar in addition to crave for nasi briyani , I volition swallow at Ali Nachia Briyani Dam.
