Tehari, like winter, has a way of making us pause. Whether at a street-side restaurant or a wedding feast, it unites people. As you navigate through the smoky afternoons and chilly evenings of this season, find time to indulge in the city's finest tehari spots. It is more complicated than just pointing to a location on a Google Map. Together, we will explore the city's best tehari places, one mouthwatering rice dish at a time.

Nanna Biriyani: The legend

Starting at the heart of the old city, Nanna Biriyani is practically an institution. Their tehari is less about fluff and more about flavour. Each plate is a masterclass in balance—beef so tender it might as well be poetry and rice soaked in just the right amount of oil and spices.

Bismillah Tehari House: Generous portions, rich flavours

In the bustling streets of Mirpur, Bismillah Tehari House has made a name for itself with its unapologetically rich flavours. If Nanna is tradition, Bismillah is indulgence. Their tehari does not just satisfy hunger—it makes you want to linger, savouring every bite.

Shad Tehari Ghar: Nostalgia served warm

Nestled in Lalmatia, Shad Tehari Ghar is like that childhood storybook you keep going back to. Operating since 1995, they have perfected the art of homely flavours. Their tehari does not shout—it whispers, with just enough spice to remind you that sometimes simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

Maruf Biriyani House: The green chilli charm

Over at Hazaribagh Bazar, Maruf Biryani House offers a spicier alternative, perfect for those who enjoy their tehari with a side of drama. The green chilli flavour cuts through the richness, creating a dish that's bold and unapologetic, much like the people who frequent it.

Allahr Daan Biriyani House: Modesty in taste, richness in heart

Allahr Daan in Khilgaon does not believe in pretense. After a hard day, its tehari is simple yet flavourful, like a simple rickshaw journey to your destination. Each bite feels like a warm hug you did not realise you needed, making it the epitome of comfort food.

Hazir Biriyani: Mustard oil magic

Hazir Biriani -- a name that conjures up images of mustard oil-infused rice, succulent beef, and a flavour profile so unique it could spark debates at your family winter gathering. This is the tehari for purists, for those who believe a plate of rice and meat can be as nuanced as classical Bangladeshi poetry.

Tehari Ghar: Tradition perfected

Tehari Ghar delivers food that feels like a warm embrace of tradition. Perfectly spiced, with tender beef, small marble potatoes and rice glistening in mustard oil, their plates are a consistent delight.

Whether you are at their Sobhanbagh branch or picking up from Uttara, Tehari Ghar captures the nostalgia of family feasts and the comfort of winter.
