Feast Tikka Biryani, by the Kilo

5 September 2026 · Updated 26 October 2026

Every kitchen in Pakistan claims a biryani. Ours has a first name — Feast Tikka Biryani — and a habit that surprises people the first time they order it: you buy it by the kilo, in exactly the weight your gathering needs, from 1 kg upwards.

This post explains what it is, how many people a kilo feeds, and when ordering biryani by weight makes more sense than booking a full catering deal.

What makes it tikka biryani

It is our brand-signature biryani, topped with juicy tikka: the chicken is marinated and done as tikka first, then layered with degh-cooked biryani rice, so the tikka flavour works down through the pot. You get proper biryani rice and proper tikka on the same plate.

It is cooked the degh way, in layers, finished on dum — the same patience our kunna gets, applied to rice. And it is made fresh on every order, not scooped from a holding pot.

Any weight, and who it feeds

There are no fixed sizes any more. On the menu page you set the weight in 1 kg steps with + and −, see the total, and send the order to WhatsApp. It is Rs. 2,000 per kg.

As a rule of thumb, a kilo feeds 3 to 4 people — closer to 3 when biryani is the only dish, closer to 4 when a curry or other food sits alongside. For example:

Any weight in between works the same way: 7 kg is Rs. 14,000. The full method, with curries alongside, is in our kg guide — and if someone quotes you "half a degh" instead of kilos, here is why that tells you nothing.

The minimum depends on your area

In the neighbourhoods around our kitchen — Soan Garden, PWD, Bahria Town Phases 1–6 and 7–8, DHA, Korang Town, Jinnah Garden, Pakistan Town, DR Colony PWD, Gulberg Greens, Airport Housing Society — you can order from 1 kg. Everywhere else in Islamabad and Rawalpindi the minimum is 3 kg. The menu page asks for your area and sets the minimum for you.

When kilos beat a catering deal

Our dawat deals make sense when you want a spread — kunna, qorma, pulao, dessert, the works, with naan and raita in the price. But sometimes the occasion needs one hero dish done properly:

Stuck between biryani and pulao? Chicken pulao is also Rs. 2,000 per kg, so the price will not decide it — this guide will.

Ordering it right — three tips

Questions people ask

Can I order 3 kg or 7 kg, not just round sizes? Yes — any whole kilo, from 1 kg near our kitchen or 3 kg elsewhere.

Is it spicy? Proper biryani-spicy, not punishment-spicy. If children are eating, tell us when you book.

Chicken or beef? Feast Tikka Biryani is chicken. Beef Pilaf is Rs. 3,000 per kg and mutton biryani Rs. 4,200 per kg, both on the menu; Ziafat Shahi Biryani is on our event menu.

Do you deliver? Yes, across Islamabad and Rawalpindi.

Raita and salad? Say the word and we pack raita per kg or per person, whichever suits the serving style.

Several dishes at once? On the menu page, press Order on your first dish and choose "Add more dishes" — one WhatsApp message carries every line and the total.

The short version

One dish, done properly, in exactly the weight your gathering needs, at Rs. 2,000 a kilo. WhatsApp 0315 9093990 with the weight, the date and the delivery point.
