Immediately after arriving in Stone Town, Zanzibar, I have little choice but to take the most direct route to Lukmaan restaurant for a plate (or 3) of their Zanzibar biryani.
The fragrantly spiced rice is served alongside a pile of pickled onions and tomatoes and a scoop of the most luscious mutton or fish and biryani sauce that I’ve ever had.

Great Z-bar travel guide. Makes me want to head over. And now you have made me hungry for Biriani which I definitely like better than Pilau.

My mom’s Indian Biryani is definitely my favorite rice dish in the world! Didn’t know that biryani also existed in Indonesia! Your dish does look very tempting though…!

Hey Anji! I can imagine your mothers’s biryani is the best in the world – I don’t think you can beat home cooked!
