This rice dish is an Omani take on traditional Indian and Persian chicken biryanis. Just like other chicken biryanis, this one also consists of basmati rice mixed with chicken parts (legs or breasts). What makes this dish truly Omani is the use of spices and herbs that are typical of Omani cuisine.

Although not as heavily spiced as other chicken biryanis, Omani chicken biryani is still a fragrant and flavorful dish, and it is typically accompanied by sides such as cucumber raita, lime wedges, and slices of sweet onions. In Oman, this dish is usually eaten for lunch or dinner, and it is available in numerous cafés, restaurants, and similar eateries throughout the country.
