Calicut Biryani (Broomfield Road, CV5)

Coventry locals in the know head to Broomfield Road for Calicut Biryani, a spot that brings the bold, spice-laden flavours of Kerala to the city. Holding a 3.5/5 from Google reviews and a solid Food Hygiene Rating, this takeaway has earned its place among neighbourhood favourites for those craving authentic South Indian cooking. It’s not your standard curry house—this is a place built around the fragrant, slow-cooked biryanis that give the place its name.

Think layers of perfectly steamed rice, tender marinated meat, and a punch of cardamom, cinnamon, and star anise that hits you the moment you lift the lid.
