OVERVIEW
WELCOME TO YOUR EMPIRE BIRIYANI DISPATCH BOX.
Here’s everything you need to know about how to cook and assemble your chosen
dishes.
ABOUT EMPIRE BIRYANI
Empire Biryani is a new home delivery service from chef Harneet Baweja and
Devina Seth, the same founders behind Michelin Bib–winning Gunpowder. With one
site based in Spitalfields and a second outpost in Tower Bridge, Gunpowder
showcases home-style Indian cooking. It seeks to rebalance what Harneet
describes as the ‘common homogenization of Indian food’, paying great respect
to the different regions that its menus borrow from. Produce-led dishes are
created to enhance the meat and fish exactly as it was bought from the butcher
or fishmonger.
