For those who associate goat meat with toughness or a strong odor, the restaurant“Amin's Mutton and Chicken Biryani”in Soi Charoenkrung 46 will change that perception with a special recipe that makes the goat meat tender and odorless.
The popularity of this halal restaurant is evident from customers lining up as early as 7 a.m. The Thairath Pochana program visited to capture and share this legendary deliciousness.
The secret behind Amin's Mutton and Chicken Biryani in Soi Charoenkrung 46 is preserving an ancient Indian recipe over 93 years old, preventing it from fading over time.
The story begins with“Pee Amin”a former employee of an Islamic restaurant near Assumption who worked for 43 years. After the original restaurant closed, he obtained the original recipe and opened his own shop, which has become a beloved spot next to Robinson Bangrak, opposite Ban U Mosque, not to be missed by food lovers.
The charm of Amin's Mutton and Chicken Biryani lies in its meticulous ingredient selection, especially“mutton biryani”(200 baht), made from goats no older than two years, simmered until the meat is tender and falls apart without toughness or odor. It is served with golden-yellow biryani rice made from grade A jasmine rice mixed with aged rice, cooked with real saffron and over 10 types of grade A Indian spices.
Other standout dishes include“chicken biryani”(60 baht), featuring large thigh pieces overflowing the box,“oxtail soup”(120 baht) with a refreshing, rich flavor, as well as rare dishes like“stir-fried cow brain”which requires careful cleaning of blood vessels to achieve a smooth, jelly-like texture, and“chicken kurma curry”a traditional Islamic curry served with yogurt.
A highlight that balances the rich flavors at Amin's Mutton and Chicken Biryani is“yogurt sauce”a special recipe made by fermenting fresh milk and cheese starter overnight until set. It is seasoned to a perfect balance of sour, salty, and sweet, combined with the crisp freshness of onions, cilantro, and green onions that have been chilled to lock in flavors.
Due to its popularity, the dishes sell out quickly. Although the restaurant opens early at 05:30, it is recommended to arrive before 11:00 as the food is freshly made daily and the shop may close as early as 13:00.
