Tekka Centre houses a number of briyani stalls that are crowd favourites, but Samad specialises in dum briyani where the meat and rice are cooked together in a large pot, resulting in moist basmati that is evenly-coated with a spice mixture. Best-sellers are the chicken ($6.50) and mutton ($7) versions, but the stall also interestingly offers quail ($7).
Portions are extremely generous and come with a hard-boiled egg, achar, and a serving of dalcha, all of which could easily feed two.
