[Nagasaki Biryani] Enjoy the fluffy basmati rice and spices at Mati Mahal Hirano branch! Don't miss the super-sized naan curry and exquisite tandoori chicken! Authentic Indian cuisine report (with video)

Hello, this is Noguchi Tsuyoshi from Noguchubu  (X account @ta0416 )!

This time, we will introduce the Matimahal Hirano store, located near the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum and Peace Park!

Conclusion: "I was amazed by the fluffy basmati rice! I wonder why I hadn't tried biryani sooner. It was a deliciously spicy dish 😆"

I often order the huge hot naan and curry for takeout, but this time I visited with my wife for a date lunch!!

🍛 Unbelievably delicious! The authentic taste will have you laughing!
I regularly frequent Mattimahal for lunch and takeout, but this time I only had one purpose.
This time, I really wanted to eat authentic biryani (Indian-style rice)!

To sum up...it was so delicious that I regretted not eating it sooner.

[Food report]
🍗 Biryani & Tandoori Chicken
Mati Mahal Authentic Biryani (Indian-style cooked rice)

The biryani, which I tried for the first time, arrived piping hot with steam rising from it! 

The first thing that surprised me was the fluffy and light texture of the basmati rice, which is completely different from Japanese rice (lol).

The aroma of spices explodes in your mouth with every bite, and the texture of the cashews adds a wonderful accent.

 The heart-shaped cucumbers, tomatoes, and boiled eggs are topped off with vibrant colors and are also very filling!

The tandoori chicken in the set was also perfectly marinated in spices and yogurt. Juicy and hot, it was a true authentic dish!

🍛 Choice B Curry Set (Shrimp Curry & Giant Naan)

My wife ordered the "super giant naan", a specialty of Mati Mahal! 

Apparently, this was made possible thanks to the ingenuity of the store staff!

The impact when it is brought to the table is still as impressive as ever.

It pairs perfectly with the consistently delicious shrimp curry!

The plain lassi included in the set has just the right amount of sweetness and spice to gently soothe a hot stomach.

🎥 Check out this moving video!
Photos alone can't do justice to the sizzle of the biryani and the size of the naan, so be sure to check out the video!


🌟 The appeal of this restaurant isn't just the taste!
The most attractive thing about Mathimahal is the warmth of the staff.

 He was a very cheerful and friendly person, and spoke fluent Japanese! He also kindly explained to me about rare spiced drinks and Indian beer (lol).

Additionally, cashless payment methods such as Rakuten Pay, PayPay, and credit cards are accepted, so you can pay smartly.
