Our Story
Biryani Qabila was built by two people with very different paths but one shared obsession — authentic food, done honestly. Here's who we are and why we started.
"A trader who knows rice. An engineer who loves building things. One kitchen."
The Qabila, in a sentence
The Founders
We're a small team — on purpose. Decisions are made fast, recipes are tested honestly, and you're usually one message away from one of us.
Co-founderCo-founder · Sourcing & Operations
Muhammad brings 20 years of experience in rice trading — importing and exporting across markets. He knows biryani from the grain up: what a great basmati looks, smells, and cooks like. At the Qabila, he leads sourcing, kitchen operations, and the hard-won relationships that make our food consistent.
Co-founderCo-founder · Tech, Growth & Experience
A Machine Learning Engineer at Colossyan by day, a lifelong entrepreneur the rest of the time. Ahmad opened his first business — a small general store — in 5th grade at age twelve, and ran it alongside school. That same instinct is what he now brings to Biryani Qabila: systems, craft, and a bias for getting things done.
How It Started
Muhammad has spent 20 years in the rice trade — moving grain across borders, learning every variety, every mill, every harvest. If there's one person who should be cooking biryani professionally in Pakistan, it's someone who knows rice like a language.
Ahmad's story is different. He started his first business at twelve — a small general store, running alongside 5th-grade homework. That habit of building never stopped. Today he's a Machine Learning Engineer at Colossyan, and Biryani Qabila is the serious side-business he's pouring that same energy into.
Different backgrounds, one obsession: serving honest food at a standard we'd be proud to feed our own families. That's the whole idea.
What We Stand For
Not a slogan wall — these are the criteria we cook, source, and make decisions by.
Traditional recipes, slow-cooked the right way. No shortcuts, ever.
Decades of rice-trading know-how goes into sourcing — you taste the difference.
We treat guests, teams, and suppliers as one tribe — bound by food and intention.
A portion of every order funds sponsored meals for families in need.
