When Sairat Biryani, a well-known name among Pune’s biryani lovers, opened its doors in Kharghar, it didn’t do so quietly. The launch-day offer of a full plate chicken biryani at just ₹99 created exactly the kind of buzz any food outlet dreams of—long queues, curious foodies, and a steady stream of satisfied customers.
What followed, however, is what really matters. The crowd didn’t come just for the price. They stayed for the taste.
Today, Sairat Biryani continues to draw a healthy mix of office-goers, students and families—thanks to a combination that’s hard to beat: consistent flavour and honest pricing.
Why Sairat stands out in Kharghar
In a neighbourhood where biryani often starts at ₹180 and goes upwards, Sairat keeps things refreshingly simple:
- ₹120 for a full plate chicken biryani
- ₹90 for a half plate
Yes, they serve three pieces of chicken instead of the usual four, but the generous portion size and well-balanced flavour make that a non-issue for most customers.
The result? One of Kharghar’s most value-for-money biryani joints.
A menu that keeps things focused
Sairat doesn’t try to be everything to everyone. It sticks to what it does best—dum biryani and classic starters.

Our take
We tried the chicken dum biryani—and it lived up to the chatter. Well-cooked rice, a simple yet satisfying flavour profile, and a portion size that feels generous for the price.
More importantly, the regulars say it all. Many customers we spoke to are already repeat visitors—often the strongest compliment any food place can earn.
Of course, not everyone will love it. Some may prefer richer spices, premium rice, more chicken pieces, or a better seating setup. And that’s fair.
But for everyone else, Sairat Biryani is an affordable biryani gem in Kharghar—proof that good taste doesn’t always come with a big bill.
