Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Aasife Ahmed said, “We are happy to be launching our 10^th outlet in Chennai and hosting ‘The Great Biriyani Challenge’ once again after the successful first edition of the challenge. We are overwhelmed with the number of registrations we received for the contest and would want this love for biriyani of people to only grow with time. With a successful track record over the past 15 years, Aasife Biryani is well placed to leverage its expertise to more restaurants in order to cater to the ever-growing love and demand for biryani.”

At every Aasife Biryani outlet (including Palavakkam), authentic food is presented in a contemporary ambience. The unique concept is based on intensive consumer research that indicates that the new age Indian consumer is particular about authentic taste, quality, hygiene and convenience. The menu has traditional delicacies from regions across the country.. While the ‘Aasife style Biryani’ (Veg, Egg, Chicken & Mutton) remains the flagship dish and a favourite among patrons, every other dish is unique in its preparation and presentation. Starters, kababs, grills, gravies and tandoori items are other popular, mouth-watering and thus fast-moving eats from the Aasife Biryani stable.
