    I was the very hard core fan of this restaurant but today I.was veryvery disappointed because of taste and freshness of their briyani. Actually this is third consecutive visit and disappointment for me past one month period. Worst taste as well I this the meat which they serve is even worst.

    Taste was normal. Shop was crowded like anything. Chicken biriyani cost 160 and Mutton 260. Don't go with high expectations. Its our normal basmati chennai style biriyani. Medium Flavored

    Bcoz of the crowd i thought this as a nice place and went to have mutton biryani. But to be true this is the worst arcot biryani I had. No spice no taste simply bland and they charge 260rs for that. Don't go here even if you don't have option.

    The taste is good, quantity is also enough for one person. I have not ordered online or a take away. I have been there thrice and both mutton biryani and chicken biryani tasted good. The biryani sometimes is quite oily, especially the mutton biryani. Service is very good. They are prompt. Pricing wise I would say, slightly expensive considering the atmosphere and location.

    We had half plate chicken biryani here, which cost 155 rs. Not worthy for this cost and also tast was not good. Chicken 65 plate consist of 8 small pieces which cost 90 rs that also over cost and not good in taste. Kindly fix the price depends on your quality and quantity, if you think this is for one time customer you can earn money but no longer it will... We know your hotel in main place so it will be costly but also we expect some quality for that money...🤐🤐😖😖

  • 4/5 MANIKANDAN P. 1 year ago on Google
    Very small shop. Only mutton and chicken are available for lunch. The taste is really good. Around 15 to 20 seats available for dine-in. Cleaning needs to improve.

  • 5/5 Sai S. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Waseem A. 1 year ago on Google
    If you want to have authentic chicken or mutton biryani. This is the place. Highly recommended. Seatings will be not posh but if you are a foodie then it's a place for you

  • 5/5 Shabbeer H. 9 months ago on Google
    The biriyani is amazing with mild spicy with good flavour, one of the best and affordable biriyani spots, Their Beeda is also must try

    A true gem of Briyani. Arcot Briyani redefines Briyani with its innovative dishes and unwavering commitment to quality. The aromas that waft from the kitchen are simply irresistible, promising an explosion of flavors on the palate. The presentation of each dish is a work of art, further enhancing the dining experience. The staff is attentive and knowledgeable, ensuring that every guest feels welcomed and appreciated. A culinary haven for those seeking authentic and exceptional Briyani!"

  • 4/5 Gowtham P. 9 months ago on Google
    Biriyani is always available and taste is good. Price is same as like other big outlets if you compare the quantity

  • 5/5 sree n. 11 months ago on Google
    One of the finest Briyani centres in Porur. I know this personally for more than 15 yrs. I would not say the best in taste but overall quality of the food is good and affordable. Must try once

  • 4/5 venkatesh s. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is so good. I liked it a lot. I went along with my family and had good food in terms of taste. But the quantity is less and there are very few places to dine in. Prefer to get a parcel and enjoy at home

  • 4/5 Vivek S. 1 year ago on Google
    Quality and quality was superb. Food was tasty. It's situated in a complex and therefore toilet is not that clean. When you go as a big group and request to join tables to sit together they just say no.

  • 4/5 Sundaram J. 1 year ago on Google
    Biriyani taste is good and quantity in plate its become less nowadays and dining area must be improved.

  • 4/5 Immanuel D. 5 months ago on Google
    Had tried their chicken briyani 1/2 plate for the price of 165. The quantity of the briyani is good to eat for an average eater. It won’t be sufficient for a good eater, definitely. Briyani is worth for the price we pay. This is just not like a regular briyani with full of spices and masala, masala presence was not seen at all. It’s just a briyani with good flavour and tastes good with two pieces of medium size chicken. Overall it’s okayish briyani. It is advisable to take away rather than dine in, since the place is very small and conjested and no ambience. Sorry, after seeing the hot briyani plate, I immediately dived in to the plate and forget to click pics 😝

    Since 2008 i have been a customer of this biryani shop when they priced Rs.45, after shifting to different areas or places I used to eat biryani whenever I pass by porur. But today the mutton and kuska biryani we bought did not taste as good as before. The quality was compromised, much oily and tastes plain, we were really disappointed today. The mutton pieces are also hard and need to chew for more time. The raitha also not of quality and packages were not tightened, leaky.

  • 2/5 Gopala krishnan m. 8 months ago on Google
    Very worst Shop. Mutton biryani @Rs270/- but not worth. Quantity of rice is very very less and only they kept three small pieces. If we even went any other small briyani shop we satisfy for @Rs.270/- people don't visit this shop..

  • 5/5 Senthil M. 7 months ago on Google
    Usually night drum of the biriyani comes at around 8.30 pm to 9.00 pm. Enjoy the original arrcot style biriyani here. Available items are chicken biriyani mutton biriyani and chicken 65. U can also take the bucket option if u plan to buy for a group of above 8 members . Must try in chennai

  • 3/5 Solomon P. 3 months ago on Google New
    Taste is less than avarage. I ordered chicken biryani it is 165 rs, not worthy for the money. Rice is half cooked, Before COVID I had briyani in the same restaurant which was good.

  • 5/5 Venkatraman R (. 2 years ago on Google
    A tasty treat and the crowd shows you acknowledgement. A tip for everyone who waits there in queue for order/takeaway!🙄 Order a half plate briyani/kuska briyani... Then order for parcel, wait by eating the briyani and get yourself something in parcel skipping the queue and long you need to wait to get it.💯 Go for mutton, chicken briyani isn't that tasty comparing mutton briyani here!! ✅

  • 5/5 Ajith K. 2 years ago on Google
    First tried the chicken biryani . I was drooling by its fragrant. The basmati rice was tasty and had good amount of perfectly tender chicken pieces. While the mutton biryani was amazing and the meat was perfectly cooked. The best Briyani in porur and its many shop in this same name, this shop is located next to appollo pharmacy..

  • 2/5 Sugumar B. 2 years ago on Google
    Biryani taste is good. But mutton is hard.

  • 5/5 manoj k. 2 years ago on Google
    One stop for chicken and mutton biriyani, chiken 65 and gravy😘

  • 2/5 Arnold R. 2 years ago on Google
    Arcot style briyani used to be a good one but the taste has gone down...

  • 4/5 Subbiah D. 2 years ago on Google
    Good tasty, muslim friends style biriyani. One of the best biriyani shop in Porur for middle class, 1/2 chicken biriyani - Rs. 150 (as of Aug-2021). They're accepting card/upi/cash payments. You can get parcel, they will serve you much faster and also access through ZOMATO & Swiggy food apps. It will not suitable for family dining, mostly 100% Gents are using the dining. It's on main road but after Porur fly over construction parking is little congested. You can park two wheelers but even slow down your car.

  • 4/5 john s. 3 years ago on Google
    Very tasty biriyani at a reasonable price in Chennai.

  • 5/5 pon a. 2 years ago on Google
    Thes best Briyani of Porur❤️. Enough said.

  • 1/5 murugesan m. 2 years ago on Google
    Worst Briyani please don't ever visit this shop. Poor taste with old chicken

  • 4/5 Ajay D. 2 years ago on Google
    Have visited this place a few times, this shop biryani is liked by many in and around this area. I have tried chicken and mutton biryanis both taste different and are a bit spicy in my opinion, they can be different for you, the shop has got a few other side dishes but I have tried only the above-mentioned. This place has both dine-in and takeaway options you can choose either of them based on your convenience. Cash, card, and UPI are the modes of payment that are available in this shop. Hope this review and information provided will be useful for you.

    Best place to eat biryani in Porur is this ARCOT BIRYANI Centre only. I have been eating here for the past 15 years every week without fail and the taste has never changed till date. Even my kids love the food.

  • 5/5 Mohsen A. 1 year ago on Google
    Best briyani in Porur area. I have been having briyani here for the past 15 years since my schooling, the taste and quality hasn't changed a bit. This is a gem of briyani spot for people residing in Porur area. Worth every rupee.

  • 2/5 Karthi K. 1 year ago on Google
    Taste ok. But No worth for money, they Maintaining the biriyani in same taste with the help of Ajino moto. Brinjal very poor taste, onion without curd is horrible. Plate size is very tragedy.
