Maharaja, Jyothi
5 people recommendvia r/mangalore6 comments cited below
What people say, in short
Maharaja is recommended by several diners for biryani, with the Jyothi restaurant explicitly named. One diner enjoys its sweeter Mangalorean style rather than a spicier preparation. Another dislikes the watery texture they experienced and suspects steaming was responsible, although they still prefer it to donne biryani. Other recommendations are brief, so the sweeter style reflects one diner's preference rather than a shared verdict.
