CHEF — DUM BIRYANI & SOUTH INDIAN CUISINE (JUNIOR)
Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu · Full-time · 1–3 years experience · Paid trial, then permanent
Marabu Biriyani is hiring a junior chef to join our kitchen — someone who already knows their way around dum biryani and South Indian cooking, and wants to sharpen that skill inside a brand that's serious about consistency, not just serving food fast.
About Marabu Biriyani
Marabu Biriyani is a biryani brand anchored on one fixed ritual — every meal served on a banana leaf, eaten by hand — while the recipe underneath flexes by region: Hyderabadi Dum, Dindigul Style, Ambur Style, and more as we grow. We're early, we're serious about doing this right, and everyone in the kitchen works to the same documented standard.
About the Role
You'll work under our Head Cook / Kitchen Lead, cooking dum biryani and South Indian dishes to our recipe standard day to day. This is a hands-on execution role — a year from now, you should have grown from following our SOPs closely to being trusted to run a section of the kitchen with minimal supervision.
What You'll Do
• Cook dum biryani and South Indian dishes to our documented recipe standard — consistently, and at the pace real order volume demands.
• Handle rice preparation (basmati and seeraga samba), marination, and masala prep as directed.
• Follow existing kitchen SOPs precisely, and flag anything unclear so we can improve them.
• Maintain hygiene and food safety standards at your station at all times.
• Support stock checks and daily kitchen prep alongside the Head Cook.
• Learn additional regional biryani styles and dishes as the menu grows.
What We're Looking For
Required:
• 1 to 3 years of professional cooking experience, with real exposure to South Indian cuisine.
• Some hands-on experience with dum biryani, even if not yet leading it independently.
• Comfortable following a recipe standard precisely, rather than improvising.
• Basic food hygiene awareness.
Preferred (nice to have):
• Experience with more than one regional biryani style.
• Experience working in a fast-paced kitchen handling multiple orders at once.
Compensation
Based on experience and demonstrated skill — assessed during your trial, not fixed in advance
Process
A short interview, followed by a paid trial in our kitchen. Strong trials lead to a paid trial period, then a permanent role.
