Best Kappa Biriyani in Edmonton

About Our Kappa Biriyani

Despite the name, Kappa Biriyani has no rice at all. Tapioca is boiled until soft, then mixed directly into a spicy beef masala so every piece of kappa soaks up the gravy's heat and flavour.

It is a rustic, homestyle Kerala dish rather than a restaurant showpiece – hearty, filling and a little different from anything else on our menu. Guests who grew up on Kerala home cooking often order it as soon as they see it listed.

What Makes Our Kappa Biriyani Special

• Soft boiled tapioca (kappa), not rice, as the base
• Mixed with a spicy, richly spiced beef masala
• A rustic Kerala Special you will not find on most South Indian menus
• Earthy, filling and intensely flavourful
• A conversation-starter for guests trying Kerala food for the first time

If you enjoy Kappa Biriyani, try our Beef Ulathiyathu or Beef Kizhi Porotha – both showcase the same bold Kerala beef flavours. Many guests also pair it with Beef Ulathiyathu or Beef Kizhi Porotha to share across the table.
