Join the team at Royal Biryani House, where we specialize in authentic Indian flavors — including our signature Hyderabadi biryani — and are looking for a motivated Line Cook to help keep our kitchen running smoothly.

If you have prior line cook or food service experience especially in Indian or other ethnic kitchens , great! If not — we’re still very interested in trainable candidates with the right attitude, willingness to learn, and commitment to high standards.

• Assist with prep work: chopping, portioning, marinating, rice preparation, spice blends, inventory rotation, and receiving deliveries as needed

• Communicate clearly with kitchen teammates and front-of-house staff to coordinate efficient service during high-volume shifts

• Stay calm, efficient, and collaborative during peak service periods; be a team player who jumps in wherever needed

• Previous experience working in a professional kitchen is preferred — experience with Indian cuisine, spice-rich dishes, rice-based cooking is a plus

• Strong knife skills and familiarity with a variety of cooking methods (grilling, sautéing, deep-frying, rice dishes) and kitchen equipment

• Ability to work efficiently under pressure, follow directions precisely, and multitask in a dynamic environment

• Excellent time-management skills and a commitment to maintaining high standards of cleanliness, quality, and consistency

• Dependable and punctual with a team-oriented mindset

• Willingness to learn Indian culinary techniques, spice blends, and dish assembly if not already experienced

• A fast-paced, supportive kitchen environment where you can learn and grow

• Competitive pay based on experience plus opportunities for advancement

• Flexible scheduling to support your lifestyle and ambitions

• Employee meals or discounts during shifts

• A chance to work with authentic Indian flavors, learn traditional techniques, and build your culinary resume
