About this place
Pair chicken biryani with rasam or a salad. Menu information for Denny's Ikebukuro Meiji-dori lists a range of dishes that make it easy to build a meal around spices. The Chicken Biryani D's Meal-Style is made with basmati rice cooked with an assortment of spices, allowing it to absorb the savoury flavour of the chicken. The standalone biryani comes with raisin yoghurt, so you can choose how to enjoy it. Add rasam, a tangy, spicy South Indian soup, or opt for a salad with a spice-and-herb dressing and assorted cheeses. Homemade lassi is also available, making it a good choice when you want to sample a few different flavours.
Some diners have visited specifically for the collaboration menu with Eric South. Among the broad selection at this family restaurant, the chance to order spice-forward dishes is a distinctive feature. One diner who ordered jambalaya with onion gratin soup noted the balance of spices and ingredients, as well as the sweetness of the onions in the piping-hot soup. It may be a useful pairing to consider when you want a substantial meal with soup on the side.
For breakfast, choose a main such as scrambled eggs, a fried egg, eggs cooked on both sides, or grilled salmon. Pair it with pancakes, toast, or a set of rice and miso soup for a sweeter start or a more Japanese-style meal. For a coffee break or something after your meal, the drink bar includes options such as blended coffee, espresso and café au lait, along with Darjeeling tea and hojicha. From breakfast and lunch to a quiet pause, you can choose what suits the moment.
