Hum Pum Paneer- A Brimies classic

Birmies has made its mark in Ahmedabad’s food scene with a balance of traditional Punjabi flavours and inventive fusion dishes. While favourites like Aloo Paratha with Curd, Rajma Chawal, Cheese Oregano Jalapeno Paratha, and Missi Paratha with Curd remain staples, the menu has grown to include comforting options like Paneer Chili Dry and the signature Hum Pum Paneer.

For those looking beyond Indian flavours, Birmies also serves international-inspired bowls like the Mexican Burrito Bowl, Italian Spaghetti Bowl, and Lebanese Falafel Bowl, each packed with bold seasonings and spices that suit the local taste.

Started by Usha Birmie in 1995

The spot was started by Usha Birmie in 1995 as a small shop near Panjrapol, selling stuffed parathas to a city didn't have many authentic Punjabi spots. The shop quickly became a favourite among students from nearby institutes, and the menu grew in response to their tastes.

By 2005, Birmies was already a household name, but running the business alone was a challenge. That’s when her husband, Keshav, left his steady job to join her. Today, Birmies operates multiple flagship restaurants.
