Aby's Biryani - Nelson

Perched in Nelson with a near-perfect 4.9/5 from 28 reviews, Aby's Biryani has quickly become a quiet local legend for halal comfort eating.

It's a small operation with a big reputation, and the numbers back up the buzz.

You'll find the biryani is the star, with each grain of rice separate and infused with spice, while the meat stays tender and juicy.

Simple, honest halal cooking that lets the biryani do the talking.
