It is very tasty as well as healthy food. But you know about its specialty in Sheikhupura, actually, people make it tasty. Their method of making biryani is mind-blowing. The taste is different from all other cities.
I visited many cities of Pakistan like Lahore, Rawalpindi, Lodhran, etc but found no biryani more tasteful as compared to Sheikhupura. I do not know, What do they add? What does it make tasty? Their women, as well as men too, are perfect in making this. I recommend that all people Should visit this city and must taste the biryani.
