Murgh Dum Biryani at Kebab & Kurry: what to expect

Murgh Dum Biryani at Kebab & Kurry is $20. The menu describes boneless chicken and fragrant rice, slow-cooked dum style in a sealed pot, with a street-market inspiration. It is on the Indian Rice and biryani menu. Here is what that description tells you about the dish, how it differs from the other rice choices, and what else to order alongside it at Town Square Las Vegas.

Boneless chicken and sealed-pot rice

The chicken in Murgh Dum Biryani is boneless. The cooking method is slow cooking in a sealed pot, which the menu identifies as dum style. Those are the defining details of this order: chicken and rice cooked as a biryani, rather than a grilled chicken plate served with rice beside it. The full menu lists it alongside vegetable, mutton and shrimp biryanis.

Compare it with Joojeh Kebab (Boneless Chicken), $25, on the Persian menu. Joojeh is grilled marinated chicken breast served with saffron rice and grilled tomato. Chicken Tikka, $24, is marinated in yogurt and spices and roasted in the tandoor. The biryani's sealed-pot preparation gives you a different choice from either of those grilled chicken dishes.

How the other biryanis differ

Subz Biryani is $17, with mixed vegetables and basmati rice slow-cooked with Indian spices in a sealed pot. Mutton Biryani, $22, uses bone-in mutton simmered with fragrant basmati rice and house spices. The bone-in description distinguishes it from the boneless chicken in Murgh Dum Biryani.

Shrimp Gongura Biryani is $22. Its shrimp is marinated and lightly fried, then finished with tangy gongura, or sorrel leaf, sauce and fragrant rice. Choose it for the shrimp and gongura combination, Subz Biryani for vegetables, or Murgh Dum Biryani for boneless chicken and sealed-pot cooking.

Pulao and rice sides

The same menu section also has Subz Pulao at $15: basmati rice sautéed with seasoned vegetables. Mutter Pulao, $11, is lightly spiced basmati rice with green peas. These descriptions differ from the sealed-pot vegetable biryani.

For a rice side with a curry, Steamed Rice is $5 and Jeera Rice is $5. Jeera Rice uses basmati rice tempered with cumin seeds. Murgh Butter / Makhmali, $24, is tandoor-roasted chicken in creamy tomato sauce with Indian spices, offering a sauce-based chicken dish alongside those rice choices.

Starters, bread and drinks

Shirazi Salad, $12, combines diced cucumber, tomato and onion with lemon dressing and olive oil. Mast-o-Khiar is $12, with yogurt, cucumber, herbs, walnuts and raisins. Both are listed on the Persian menu and can be ordered alongside an Indian main.

Garlic Naan is $6, topped with garlic and coriander leaves; Bullet Naan is $6, with green chili and coriander. Masala Chai and Persian Tea are each $5 on the regular menu. Afternoon drinks and bites are listed separately on Saffron Hour, daily from 3 PM to 6 PM, dine in.
