From the kitchen

Biryani, curry and pilau — cooked this morning.

Seven mains, one price. Every box: a hot main, fresh salad, a pot of Greek-yoghurt raita and a cold drink.

01 · Biryani

Chicken or lamb biryani.

Golden basmati layered with spiced meat, fried onions and fresh coriander — cooked after the ten o'clock cut-off, so it's made for you, not for a forecast.

02 · Curry

Chicken, lamb or vegetable curry.

Cooked that morning in a deep masala gravy, from spices ground in the kitchen — served with rice.

03 · Pilau

Chicken or lamb pilau.

Basmati cooked in the pot with the meat and whole spices — cinnamon, cardamom, cloves and bay.

The seven mains

One price. Seven ways.

£9.99 a box — every main comes with fresh salad, a pot of Greek-yoghurt raita and a cold drink. Contains milk (the yoghurt).

Whole spices — cumin, coriander seed, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, dried chillies and turmeric — being ground in a stone pestle and mortar

The cook

Cooked by Hooria.

I've cooked for my family and friends for twenty years. Buraq is that food — curry, pilau and biryani made properly, from whole spices, in a kitchen I keep for nothing else. Order before ten and I'll cook it that morning.

Level 2 trained · hygiene rating awaited — the first inspection happens after launch.

Six mounds of ground spice — paprika, turmeric, cumin, herb, cinnamon and sumac — the Buraq masala
Six spices, ground from raw — never a jar.
  • Ground from raw

    Garam masala and biryani masala, ground in the kitchen from whole spices. No bought-in blends.

  • Cooked from scratch

    The pots go on after the 10:00 cut-off, so every box is cooked to order that morning — nothing is cooked for a guess.

  • Sunflower oil, never ghee

    Every curry, pilau and biryani is cooked in sunflower oil.

  • Greek-yoghurt raita

    A pot in every box, made with Greek-style yoghurt. It's the one allergen in the box: milk.

  • Fresh that day

    Meat and vegetables bought fresh; salad and raita packed the same morning as the main.

  • A registered kitchen

    Cooked in Hooria’s registered Cardiff kitchen, to a signed food-safety standard, with allergen controls.

The name

Buraq — Arabic for lightning-quick. Order by ten. Hot by one.

The word comes from barq, lightning, and is usually translated as "a little flash of lightning" — so Buraq Flash is simply the name translating itself: you order, you pay, and it's hot on your desk by one. Buraq Table is the other half of hospitality, the shared meal that someone else hosts: your employer orders, the boxes arrive with names on, and one invoice covers the lot. Hospitality is the company's job in one word — we host lunch.

Launch

Monday 28 September 2026

Early orders are open now. Order by 10:00 for today; after 10:00 you're ordering for the next day. Delivered 12:00–13:00.

Flash: order by 10:00 for today. Table: confirm headcount by 10:00 the day before.

Cinio blasus, cooked this morning.

Where we're going

One kitchen first. Then, maybe, a second.

Buraq starts small on purpose: one cook, one kitchen, one city. Because every box is cooked after the 10:00 cut-off, nothing is cooked for a forecast and nothing is thrown away.

The plan for year one is unglamorous. Earn a place on Cardiff's business parks one standing order at a time, write down exactly how the kitchen runs, and only open a second kitchen when it can be held to the same standard — registered, inspected, rated. If Buraq is ever in another city, it will be with the same box, the same cut-off and a cook with a name.
