One of the best eating experiences I had in Chennai. I was at Anna nagar and my colleague suggested this place which I have never visited and thus gleefully accepted the offer

The place was very neat and tidy. The air conditioning was optimum and the staff courteous, warm and smiling. The decor was normal but nice and made us comfortable.

My colleagues ordered a Mutton biriyani and I decided to try the chicken Thali, which allowed me to try small portion of a few dishes. The portion could be re ordered as per appetite but one serving was good enough for me. The food was super tasty and the waiter even spoke to me in Hindi and he was fluent which made me pleasantly surprised.

I also ordered their soda bottle and it was really nice. The fun is to push a ball inside the bottle and the soda pops out. Simple things of life, yet brought some memories of childhood.

I really loved the restaurant and I am definitely coming back.

This is one of my all time fav places for more than a decade right from their outlet in Thoraipakkam. Now that they are in Annanagar makes me feel good. The food tasted as good as their other branches. Fan of their fire chicken biryani.
They are great in terms of service as well. I wish they extend their kari dosa options for lunch as well. Overall this place is a 4/5 and definitely a must boat place for biryani

They have valet parking and tables are spaced well, not very close to each. The food was very good, ambience was not the best. The food was on the spicier side considering the name of the restaurant. Did not like the biryani much but the chicken dishes were good, especially Chettinad chicken and tandoor

Ordered
Chicken pepper soup ⭐️⭐️
Kozhi varuval briyani ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Chicken majestic ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Parotta with Chicken curry⭐️⭐️
Rose falooda⭐️⭐️
Tender coconut mousse⭐️
Apricot pudding⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The chicken soup was 1 by 2 and it was okayish, Peppery thick soup.

Kozhi varuval briyani was similar to Andhra Gunpowder briyani shop. It was subtle rice with separate masala.
Parotta with Chicken curry was average one. Wasn’t what I expected
Chicken Majestic was tangy and it had taste similar to south Indian lemon rice with all those same tangy and spices
Tender coconut mousse was the worst. It had no tender coconut flavor nor any taste. It was just bland mousse
Rose falooda was too sweet for me, too much sugar content like jelly, icecream, Rose syrup everything was too much
Lastly, Apricot pudding that was a decent one. It had mild sugar content and it was almost like shahi tukda feel.

Price was bit high to the taste of the food. Every taste of these dishes can be found in normal restaurants not only in these fancy restaurants.

The total bill was 2090 which was bit high to the taste which was served. Finally, never trust paid promotions from these influencers

Their food was top notch and tasty. Appolo fish and andhra chilli chicken were appetizing and yum. Infact their hospitality was so good. One of us wanted to have extra rice but not wanting a full bowl of biryani so they were kind enough to offer some white rice and rasam. Only ick for me was not having hyd style dahi. Wish they given us an option on it..other than that im coming back again to try more of their menus

Highly satisfied. The service time was comparatively faster than the other restaurants I’ve been recently. Highly recommend the Butter Garlic Prawns and Payasam if they have it on the day. Looks like it might change depending upon the day.

Tender coconut mousee (5/5) – that’s melting in my mouth. This is my 1st time trying it and probably the best one i could ever have. Tasty and it’s perfect for me (personally I like normal/mild level of sweetness and this one synced well with me). Quantity(1 person)(5/5) | Quality(5/5)
Price – 160 (5/5)

Guntur kodi kebab(4/5) – super soft chicken, and the mayo/green dip(5/5) – great flavor, though there’s no spice, but could feel the masala flavour. Quantity wise it’s good for 1 person(6 pieces). Quantity wise it can be improved. Price – 330(4/5).

Kozhi varuval briyani(2/5) – well that’s a let down, hyderabadi style rice and the chicken thokku (pieces) were less in quantity, rice was flavorless (my only disappointment) Price – 345(not worth the price)

Mutton biriyani(5/5) – So much impressed with this one . The rice had a great flavor(5/5), masala’s were blended with rice, the mutton pieces(5 – 6 peices) were soo soft and well cooked. Quantity| quality (5/5), would be perfect for 1 person
Price – 375(5/5 – must try!!!)

Egg podimass(4/5) – the taste, the freshness, the flavor, it’s not spicy not it has masala. But it had a unique taste. Quantity for 1 person.
Price – 120(5/5)

Gulabjamun with ice cream(5/5)
Price – 105(5/5)

Overall experience (4/5) – The cozy ambience and the great food made my day.
