As expected, the Biryani was very good, and most likely best we've ever had. We had the mutton biryani for Saturday lunch. While reservations are required, it wasn't overly difficult to make, but you do have to book when the window opens (which was midnight JST). What we really appreciated was not only how passionate the owner was about his craft, but how down to earth and humble he was. We brought our children with us, and he took special effort to take care of them and provide them lassi to help with some of the spiciness. We had a great time. Thank you!

This was my first time trying biryani, and it exceeded all expectations. From the very first bite, I was impressed by how deeply the flavor of the mutton had infused into the rice. The spices are layered beautifully, and as you keep eating, different notes continue to emerge. It’s a very well-executed biryani. The restaurant is counter-style, creating a calm environment where you can really focus on the food. The spicy sauce and raita pair perfectly with the biryani and add great balance to the meal. The spiced vanilla bean ice cream was a memorable finish, and the iced cola—served with very little ice—was surprisingly satisfying and complemented the meal well. An excellent place even for someone new to biryani, and definitely a spot I would return to.

I asked my boyfriend (born and raised in Hyderabad) to rate the biryani. He gave 5 out of 5, and said it was as authentic as it gets. He was also impressed by yuzu butter on the side. I enjoyed the biryani too but was a bit spicy for me!

Biryani perfection in a modern Japanese counter-style setting. I booked the first lunch service and was allowed in early to see the cooking process. Chef Osawa greeted us and explained ‘his’ Biryani (also in English) The background, the process, the way he would like us to enjoy eating his version of biryani. It was Mutton Biryani day. You have a choice of regular or full size serving (no extra cost). I opted for regular. From the first bite to the last, it was just WOW! The dish packed a punch of flavours. The spices were not overpowering and there was an option to add more chili oil. The dish was served with a side of raita which added a creaminess to the dish. The chef recommended to order their slightly frozen Coca Cola, but to drink it after finishing the dish. Perfect match. The meal ended with his vanilla ice-cream with cinnamon. I will go back for more 100% Deserves a Michelin! Update 11 months after above review - Michelin Bib Gourmand received!👏

We had the chicken biryani when we went over for lunch. Pretty tasty biryani and loved the restaurant concept. Like a chefs table but with only one dish being served. The coke served about 2/3 into the meal was the perfect complement to the spicy dish.
