Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan｜ビリヤニ専門店 Qmin

It’s a very nicely decorated restaurant, serving delicious biryani. It’s different from the ones I have tried in South East Asia, which has more gravy and meat.

Visited on 02 September 2023. The biriyani is authentic (I would like to say it is Hyderabadi biriyani but I am no expert on biriyani). Tastes just like what I have had so many times in India. A little less curry than I am used to. However the undoubted star of the meal was the rasam. Flavour and texture was on point! If you had just handed this to me and told me to guess where it's from, I would not have said Japan. Will definitely visit again in the hope I am early enough for the special biriyani.

This is a speciality biryani restaurant also selling baked goods. I was surprised at how authentic the place, the ambiance and the food is! It has very Hyderabadi style biryani that most Indian restaurants around Hokkaido don't have. Brought back the taste of home. Added to that is the convenient 2-3 minute walk from the Sumikawa Subway station. Definitely 5 stars, and it's difficult to find places like this in Hokkaido.
