Biryani Osawa

I have had biryani hundreds of times in many countries and this is the best biryani I have ever had. It was super flavorful and aromatic. Just the right level of heat. Fresh and light. Not greasy. It came out exactly at noon steaming hot from the pot. The chef is Japanese but learned to make biryani in Pakistan. I got it with an ice cold coke and a scoop of vanilla ace cream after. This guy needs a Michelin star.

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!

I want to start my review by saying that I LOVE biriyani. It is one of my favourite foods in the world. Ahead of my trip to Japan, we found out about Biriyani Osawa on the Financial Times. The whole meal was an experience. The whole theatre was also part of the meal. It was a beautiful and memorable event. The food was fenomenal, the Chef Osawa made us feel welcomed (we were the only English speakers at his restaurant), the food was served to everyone at the same time... the drinks were also offered at a particular time. Honestly? 10/10. I look forward to day I will go back to Japan and experience this meal again.

I had the frozen mutton and chicken biryani. I'm from a region where biryani is very common, and this is the best I've ever had. The chef is a true master at making biryani. I wish I had a Japanese phone number to try booking a reservation—I couldn’t. Honestly, getting a Japanese number just to secure a table here would be worth it.

Fantastic biryani - beautifully cooked, a perfectly balanced level of spice and deep flavour in the masala. It is far better than any biryani I have tasted in my hometown of London - a city which has some of the best Indian restaurants in the world. I will hopefully be visiting again before I leave!

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.

Hi , I recently watched the youtube video of chef really got inspired by his culinary skills I myself being chef over here in europe never think like this the way chef give perfection and details into briyani is such a brilliant move. A huge respect will definitely come japan this year.

Super fragrant, authentic and delicious. Reservations only, available one week in advance on tablecheck. There is a two minute speech about how the biryani goes perfectly with half frozen coca cola and honestly, it's 100% correct.
