Lighter, Subtler, and Just as Satisfying
When people think of rice dishes, biryani often steals the spotlight—but there’s more to the story. Enter: Pulao. This humble yet flavorful dish is often lighter than biryani, with more delicate spices and a beautifully balanced taste. At Café De Shisha, our pulao options are crafted with care, offering something for every palate—from rich and meaty to fresh and vegetarian.
Here are three pulao dishes you shouldn’t overlook on your next visit.

🐐 Mutton Pulao – Deeply Flavored, Surprisingly Subtle
