What one serving looks like
A plate of veg biryani of about 250 g is a heaped dinner plate scoop. Restaurant plates are often much bigger.
Where it fits in a 1,200 to 1,600 kcal day
At 273 kcal, one serving is about 17 percent of a 1,600 kcal day and about 23 percent of a 1,200 kcal day. Biryani is a full meal in itself. If you eat it for lunch, keep breakfast and dinner on the lighter side and add raita for protein.

How cooking changes the number
Biryani gets its taste from ghee, fried onions and sometimes cream or dry fruits. The restaurant version is a fair bit heavier than a home cooked one.
A swap to try
Try Vegetable pulao. Veg pulao has the same rice and vegetables with less fried onion and ghee. Vegetable pulao (1 katori, about 180 g) comes to 253 kcal, which is 20 kcal less than 273 for vegetable biryani.
