    Had the best Mutton Biriyani at the World Class Biriyani Restaurant, Dindigul Thalappakatti. Unlike other places, the service is so fast and friendly. The food is amazing and its spices make it extra special and extra delicious. Love the place and the Biriyani. ❤️

    Food was average and the quantity feels too low. Wonder how could this be enough for an average person. Plus added service fee from the total. Ambiance was good and the food was quick also quick to finish. I personally feel this restaurant doesn't give the value for money comparing to other restaurants in the same category in Kandy. Most of them won't be repeating customer

    Good atmosphere with breeze coming from Hantana Hills. Top of the kandy. Enough space and parking available. You have variety choice of menu items from veg to non veg options. All tastes like smells. Tried mutton biriyani along with Chicken parota kottu. Portion just enough for one person. Like the parota very much

    Their biryani is truly exceptional, with just the right amount of spices and perfectly cooked meat. It's easy to see why so many customers recommend it as the best biryani in Kandy. Another thing I appreciated about the restaurant was the friendly staff and affordable prices. The servers were attentive and helpful, making the dining experience all the more enjoyable. And for the quality of food that was served, the prices were definitely reasonable. But the portion size is not quite large, but enough for one person.

    If you are seeking the best Indian restaurant in Kandy, check this out. Love Indian spicy taste. Good portion for the affordable price range. Good customer service. Explaining menu well. Note that 4 to 6 pm Roti items(Nan,Gee, parata etc…) not available because chefs rest time. Highly recommended chef’s choices items

    The food is soo delicious cant say anything wrong about it. I ordered biriyani from them iys whahh.. soo yummy. It was a different experience when compared to regular biriyani where we can get from other shops. The portion is a little bit not enough compared to other shops but will be enough for one person, thats the cause for giving 4 star rating . Even though the price point goes a little bit higher it's fair enough for the quality of the food. I recommend having some mango lassi which was very delicious.

    Had a great experience at Dindigul Thalappakatti Kandy. The staff were super friendly from the moment i stepped into the restaurant. The responsible party to our order was also helpful enough to recommend the dishes according to what i described were my favourites. The food was served quickly and the quality of the food was so damn good. The portions were filling and the price was also very reasonable. The place was a bit crowded but it was midday so i guess that's normal.

    I recently ordered from Dindigul Thalappakatti Restaurant in Kandy through Uber Eats, and the experience was exceptionally convenient and satisfying. Uber Eats’ user-friendly platform made the entire ordering process seamless and hassle-free. Dindigul Thalappakatti’s menu on Uber Eats offers a variety of delicious options, and deciding what to order was the only challenging part of the experience. I was impressed by how well the food was packaged upon arrival - it was secure, ensuring no spills or messes, and the food retained its heat and freshness. The delivery was prompt, and the Uber Eats delivery partner was courteous and professional, enhancing the overall experience. The ease of tracking my order in real-time through the app provided an added layer of convenience. As for the food from Dindigul Thalappakatti, it was a delightful experience. The flavours were authentic, rich, and perfectly balanced, reflecting the restaurant's culinary excellence. Each dish was a testament to the quality and care put into its preparation. In summary, the combination of Uber Eats’ efficient service and Dindigul Thalappakatti’s exquisite cuisine made for an outstanding dining experience right at home. I highly recommend using Uber Eats for a hassle-free and enjoyable meal from Dindigul Thalappakatti Restaurant in Kandy.

    I have tried lot of authentic biriyani places in USA. So I must say this restaurant produce the same south Indian flavors. We have tried Thalappakatti chicken biriyani and that was really good.

    A place dedicated for authentic Dindugul Biryani. The restaurant is on the first floor of the building and the ground floor is for car park. Nice place to visit with family. We received a warm welcome when entering the restaurant. The staff are very friendly, welcoming and very good at handling new customers who have no idea about the place. This place's main focus is on biryani and the non veg food related to it. They have a board right at the entrance which has a list of foods that are specially made at that particular day. For the customers who have no idea what are those foods, they have a food display cabinet showcasing those dishes. We ordered special mutton biryani and boneless chicken biryani with Mutton chukka as a side dish and moru moru chicken and as a starter. Mutton biryani was great and boneless chicken biryani was good. Mutton chukka was spicy and so tasty 😋 (Which was in the special list for that day) The moru moru chicken was also good Water is not free, you have to pay for the mineral water bottle... They serve food in plantain leaf on top of a metal plate plate for genuine taste... And there is a 10% service charge with your total bill amount which itself is very expensive😅 Overall a very good experience with a hefty budget!😋😅🤧

    My friends and my self was there for our dinner out once. They have their special biriyani and various kind of indian foods. Price are very high compere with the other restaurant near kandy. Also they put 10% of Service Charges 15% of VAT 1% of TDL. So when you order something consider those factors as well. Portion is not fair for me. However the taste of the meal is incredible. They use their own recipes and spices. Very unique taste

    Visited this place recently. Prices are high if compared with the quantity or portion they are offering. Ambiance is well maintained, cleanliness was there. Speed of service was quick. 10% extra service charge over the menu price.presentation was nice. Located a bit far from the main area. Overall a good restaurant, but over priced in terms of the quantity they served. They have plenty parking facility

    Really loved their biriyani. Unfortunately we couldn't try the mutton biriyani as they said it was sold out, but the Chicken biriyani was indeed mouthwatering...Their menu has a wide variety to select from and a yummy desser selection too... This place offers true indian flavours...it's a little hard to get a table as the place was a bit crowded.. Somehow good experience and highly recommended

    Went on 28/08 for dinner at around 7pm, there was no queue at that time, we were greeted as we come inside and found a table without any issues. Mutton biriyani was not available even though it was on the notice board outside as specials. Ordered 2 chicken biriyani and egg parotta koththu. Below are my ratings on the experience we had. Portion size - Feels Very small if you haven’t eaten in few hours. Otherwise just barely enough for one person. Customer service - Needs Improvements, They want to send you out as soon as possible. Price - It’s not too expensive. Service charges are there but no taxes Taste - Authentic taste, mouth watering, Just same as in Colombo outlets Overall can recommend for all Better to go earlier than later so that you won’t be have to wait in line

    Moru moru prawn was delicious but very tiny prawn unlike shown in the menu picture. Definitely not worth 1350 Rs Chicken varval kulam had no taste at all, not worth 1210 Rs Chicken 65 biriyani was good and worth the price VAT charge is no longer there, it is a good thing. Parotha and Veechi parota were very good

    The Biryani tastes absolutely fantastic. The flavors are rich. However, the only drawback is that the portion size is a bit inadequate for a single person. If you're a fan of both vegetarian and chicken biryani, I would recommend ordering the Veg Biryani and adding a separate chicken biryani to your order. This way, you can enjoy the best of both worlds without compromising on quantity.

    The Chicken sawan biriyani from Dindigul Thalappakatti Restaurant in Kandy was absolutely delicious. The flavours were rich and aromatic, and the chicken was tender and well-cooked. The portion size was generous for 5 people, and the spices were perfectly balanced. The takeaway service was efficient, and the packaging kept the biriyani hot and fresh. Overall, it was a delightful dining experience, and I would highly recommend this restaurant for anyone craving authentic and flavourful Indian cuisine.

  • 4/5 Damitha K. 1 year ago on Google
    Food starts around LKR 1000/= (Buriyani, koththu etc). So anyone can enjoy food here.About 100 persons can eat at once. But the food portion is small. But very tasty. Smaller than normal one portion. Everything from starters to dessert isavailable. Original tamil shop. Newly started place. Very attractive. Excellent staff.
