Biryani Pot specializes in Hyderabadi cuisine, an Indian culinary tradition that emphasizes slow cooking, meticulously prepared spice mixtures, and the use of direct fire. The cuisine's signature dish, Hyderabadi biryani, exemplifies the style perfectly: chefs cook meat and spiced basmati rice over steaming coals, forming three savory layers of food.

The restaurant's kitchen also has a tandoori clay oven, which helps seal in the flavorful herbs and spices on meats such as marinated chicken morsels. In addition, the restaurant serves a wealth of vegetarian dishes, such as the bagara baingan—eggplant roasted in the clay oven and mixed in with sesame seeds, peanuts, and yogurt-blended gravy.
