Why it’s worth the trip
Everyone starts together
The restaurant says it reached its format by pursuing the best state of the dish: a large batch served freshly cooked. Guests dine on a reservation-only, simultaneous-start basis.
One biryani per day
Each day focuses on a single biryani. Mutton and chicken are the regular menu, and seasonal biryani using ingredients such as lobster, Shanghai crab, badger or oysters is made depending on supply.
A chef devoted to biryani
Owner-chef Takamasa Osawa, born in Nagano, was struck by biryani in India as a student. After a pop-up biryani shop, a biryani share house and work in modern Indian cuisine, he opened the shop in August 2021 and analyzes biryani cooking scientifically.
