Pakistani biryani vs other styles in Sharjah
Sharjah has every style: Pakistani, Hyderabadi, Kerala, Tamil and more. Pakistani biryani is usually the boldest, with more chilli and whole spice than the southern Indian styles and a richer masala layered through the rice. If you prefer something milder and meatier, try Afghani pulao instead; our biryani vs pulao guide explains the difference.
