Saffron Valley hosts Annual Biryani & Kebab Festival

Salt Lake City, Sept 20th 2018: Join us as Salt Lake City celebrates a Monsoon Biryani and Kebab Festival. Our festival kicks off Tuesday, October 2 and goes through Sunday, October 7 at the Saffron Bistro in Sugar House. This delectable food festival gives you the chance to immerse yourself into our authentic cuisine from North and South of India. 

Explore the Food

The enticing smell of the kebab and the rich aroma of Biryani will take you back into the royal era of the Nizams. In many parts of India, a popular thing to eat is a kebab. Made by mounting vegetables and/or pieces of meat on a skewer and grilling it, this is a yummy blend of food that is sure to fill you up. While lamb is a common meat used for kebabs, we will also be offering chicken and vegetarian options. 

Biryani is a beloved Indian dish, one that requires experience to make, but let us assure you that our chefs are up to the task. Biryani, a casserole of sorts is made with long-grained rice and layered with chicken, lamb or fish along with vegetables. Biryani is seasoned with exotic spices, such as saffron, and it is sealed with dough and simmered over a low flame. At the festival, we’ll be offering several different kinds of biryani for you to taste and explore.
