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.

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.
