When you add yogurt sauce to biryani, the spiciness and sourness combine to create an exquisite taste.
The yogurt sauce of “Maharaja Biryani” contains vegetables such as chopped cucumber and cumin seeds, and it’s delicious if you add them on biryani.

Often, Japan’s restaurant is closed on Sundays.
Friday is closed in the Islamic area, which is a special day blessed by God during the week.
