  • 5/5 Premnath P. 3 months ago on Google New
    A hot destination among biryani lovers, Dindigul Thalappakatti has made quite a reputation for itself, thanks to its authentic flavors that have remained consistent over the years. Their Mutton Biryani and Thalapakatti Biryani are a must try. The Nattu Koli Idicha Varuval, shredded and fried jungle fowl, was spiced with fresh pepper and flavored with a host of freshly ground spices. The meat was well cooked and the spicy notes hit the spot. We paired the dish with the Moru Morupu Parotha — a crispy and flaky roti that worked well with the chicken. The Kuchi Mutton, lamb chops, on the other hand, proved to be generic though the meat was well cooked and nicely spiced.

    I chose this place owing to the good reviews on Google and just went ahead with the staff's recommended special meal.. Oh boy, and I was thankful for it.. The food tasted really amazing with very subtle and simple mix of spices which exactly connected the right notes. I couldn't resist to visit the next day too! 😅 Much recommended Will surely visit again when in Chennai

    Veg and nonveg are equally good. Hygienic. Few items on the menu weren't available even on weekends. Crowded on weekends. Limited parking space. Restroom and delivery available. Amazing service.

    Visited during the post COVID times. Outstanding precautions & well maintained social distancing. Much recommended and appreciated. Not very much crowded these days. Taste is authentic South Indian Biriyani. Little spicy though. A must visit if you're looking for a fine option to hangout and have great food.

    We have had Chicken, Chicken 65, Mutton biriyani. Every one tasted nice and had their authentic taste and spices. It's quite delicious 🤤. As a starter we had Black Pepper Chicken 🍗. It's taste was unique. It was crunchy and juicy 🤤. I would recommend you to taste this next time you come here ✌🏻😊

  • 4/5 Joseph R. 3 years ago on Google
    The food is good and tasty, but parking is a problem and that to of it rains, the front portion will be fully flooded. The mangement is not even worried about the flooding in the front. The management has to even think a bit more about customer convenience, healt lh and safety.

    Best place for having mutton biriyani in the town. Costs 300 per plate, but totally worth it

  • 1/5 DANIEL N. 3 years ago on Google
    Too much cost effective for a normal oily food .... super hot spicy... reduce the oil.... reduce the cost... atleast people will live long.... and please reduce the cost of porota... or learn to make better porotta from SS PANDIYAN HOTEL (porur).. which they sell at just 20 rupees instead of your 50 rs.... if you follow this... you will surely have great customers.... in all over India... porata never cost more than 20.. but why here 50... is that a magical porata that we should bring our own axe from home to break it before we eat that...atleast show some goodness In the food you serve... thank you... was very unsatisfied ..... Please dont take it personal.... wishing you a good day

  • 4/5 Sivakumar P. 3 years ago on Google
    Don't go between 12noon to 1pm for parcel biriyani.. u may get old biriyani or it will have dark dosa kind rice.. on complaint they changed it. Good place but be cautious on timing.

  • 1/5 Bhavadharani M. 3 years ago on Google
    On getting food from your branch, one can think that you are fake franchise. I ordered egg noodles, fried rice and Manchurian. The egg used was smelly and seemed to be stale. The whole food was too oily. The oil was also somewhat tasted bad. That stale egg and oil made me sick. Got vomiting after eating. It takes hours to get rid of that stale egg smell. Can't believe that i had experienced this in a standard restaurant. My money got wasted. Besides money i got sick. That's annoying. Keep up your great service.

  • 4/5 Sudhakar M. 2 years ago on Google
    I recently went to Dindigul Thalappakatti shop in Porur. Car parking will accommodate only 3 cars. Also not planned space for bike parking. Food quality is good. Quantity is average. All modes of payments accepted. Neat and clean place. If you are visiting during weekends, please book your seat through Google or through voice call.

  • 4/5 febi t. 2 years ago on Google
    Liked mutton chukka... Though it is less in quantity but taste best and the mutton soup was so tasty

  • 1/5 Anshid A. 2 years ago on Google
    Price is very high and the quantity of food is very less. Taste is not bad. I suggest to choose another restaurants.

  • 1/5 Dr. Apoorva R. 4 years ago on Google
    I wouldn't even give 1 star. First of all the person taking the order couldn't wait for more than 1 min for taking the order. And then after 15 min we hear a commotiona about not having gas so until then no food. So when asked to cancel they have so much of attitude like as if we were eating in there money. Worst experience. Very costly too

  • 1/5 Dr.Immanuvel A. 2 years ago on Google
    Not delivering the orders properly. Mutton old stock..rice not cooked properly. For the 3rd time I am experiencing like this worst-case in the same branch. If we ask about the food quality, simply they will tell that it is not cooked here...coming from somewhere else... It is not a proper way to run a franchise...worst behavior...

  • 4/5 Raghu K. 2 years ago on Google
    You can have biryani with homemade rice(ponni) with decent tasty..I preferred "Chettinad Chicken Porichadhu" dish

  • 2/5 Karthik 2 years ago on Google
    Table service was okayish. Coming to food, chicken biryani wasn't that great also the tawa fish n Szechuan chicken fried rice wasnt good. Szechuan chicken fried rice - 6/10 Saucy lollipop - 5/10 Chicken pepper fry - 7/10 Tawa fish fry - 4/10 Mutton chukka - 4/10

    One of the best restaurant chain in South India. This place is amazing. The bring a heritage of the past to the present. They have a distinct taste, flavour to the customers. Love their biriyani very much. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Dhinesh Kumar S. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was very good but the price is little bit high and the quantity is less. If you can afford 250rs for a small size briyani these place is best

  • 4/5 Latheep P. 2 years ago on Google
    It's in a Central place with a small parking lot. coming to the food briyani is good. others items such as the non-veg are good veg is alright! They have few selection but limited juice!

  • 3/5 Theivachandran S. 1 year ago on Google
    Ordered boneless mutton briyani & chicken lollipops with coke . Awsome combination.really enjoyed the food . While we went for lunch AC is not working. That made some discomfort . Please consider & rectify these issues immediately to hold the brand name .

  • 5/5 Chella t. 2 years ago on Google
    Good ambiance for dining, we ordered mutton biryani, naatu kozhi gravy and ice cream, all are tasty, the price also a reasonable one.

  • 5/5 Musfica B. 2 years ago on Google
    Famous for its authentic Biriyani. This restaurant has many branches and the biriyani served here has same taste and feel across all branches. I visited this place with a friend and he told me the story behind this restaurant, which you can also see in the walls of the restaurant where the story is displayed. The owner and founder mixed his own spices to invent the unique taste of Thalappakatti Biriyani.

  • 5/5 MANU N. 2 years ago on Google
    Everything is nice and the inviting of customers is awesome but Price is a little bit high in Chennai all branches. Anyway, the truth must be said, I am insisting that to not reduce in all branches, in particular branches prices can be reduced. It shows that DT is focusing on tasting your food by everyone. Your way of going is good. Everyone shows interest to taste your food. It's good to hear. Hope you understand.

  • 4/5 Porselvan “PONS” Pon A. 2 years ago on Google
    Briyani is the best food to be tried... Especially mutton!!! Good ambiance too!!! All items are of good taste!!! 4 star for food... One minus for poor pest control at dining... Flies were disturbing us while eating...

  • 2/5 Nazeera F. 1 year ago on Google
    On special occasions this is not a place to celebrate.. So big restaurant keep paper cups for water.. Serving plates are old. Place is not clean and good. Wash area stinks badly. On one to take order unless we call them. Serving is not good. Bad experience with food and with whole place

  • 3/5 JS r. 1 year ago on Google
    Taste of food , hospitality also good. But compared to quantity and cost it doesn't match. Now a days even some of road side venders are giving better taste of biryani at affordable price of biryani. It might be their special recipe but quantity should reasonable. I can suggest it for taste but can't suggest much for pricing..

  • 4/5 naveen eshwaran s. 1 year ago on Google
    I went for new year lunch this place the taste of the food is too good but as usual the quantity in thalapakati remain constant. the quantity is not worth for paying money. if you prefer a veg food this is not a good place because veg food are not provided soon

  • 1/5 Ram S. 1 year ago on Google

  • 1/5 vignesh b. 9 months ago on Google
    I have ordered mutton briyani but I have received only kuska even that also not fresh so people kindly don’t order any food from thalapaki they use the brand name but quality wise they are worst ever and also don’t order any food through online because you Will order something but u will get something so don’t waste your money

  • 2/5 arava v v s s m s. 8 months ago on Google
    Food quality is not upto the mark / standards. For Thalappakatti special chicken biryani , they gave me Normal biryani rice along with Chicken pakodi pieces ( 6 small small pieces ) . Felt like it is road side biryani. Only thing I like there is Chilli Panneer.

  • 1/5 Kishore K. 9 months ago on Google
    I was very dissatisfied with my recent visit to this restaurant. It seems that they have become complacent after gaining a good reputation and have neglected the quality, taste and service of their food. All these three aspects were lacking in my experience and I felt like I wasted my money and time. I expected much better from them and I was completely disappointed. I will have to reconsider whether I will ever come back to this place again.

  • 5/5 Shivaji D. 7 months ago on Google
    Nestled in the heart of Porur, Chennai, Dindigul Thalappakatti restaurant is a culinary haven that truly captivates the senses. As an avid food enthusiast, my recent dining experience at this establishment left an indelible mark on my taste buds. The restaurant's ambiance strikes a perfect balance between modernity and tradition. Warm, earthy tones and comfortable seating create an inviting atmosphere, setting the stage for a memorable meal. The attentive and courteous staff added to the overall positive impression, ensuring a pleasant dining experience from start to finish. Dindigul Thalappakatti is synonymous with its legendary biryanis, and rightly so. The aroma that wafts from their kitchen is simply tantalizing. I had the pleasure of savoring their Mutton Biryani, and it was a revelation. The fragrant basmati rice, perfectly cooked mutton pieces, and a symphony of spices came together in a harmonious dance of flavors. Each spoonful was a delightful journey, and I found myself relishing every bite. The menu boasts a variety of other delectable options as well. I personally liked Black Pepper Chicken, Mutton Milagu Soup, Seared Fish and Chicken 65. The Chettinad Chicken Curry was a standout, with its rich and robust sauce that beautifully complemented the tender chicken.

  • 5/5 Sathya Narayanan G. 8 months ago on Google
    Taste is too good but peri peri chicken taste I don't like personally and service (Aakash) is too good. Not sure about other dishes

  • 3/5 Bala S. 7 months ago on Google
    Briyani is ok not that taste as expected- Mutton kola urundai is also ok ✅ Will i I go again ? No won’t not that I didn’t like the taste Can try once but not often!! - the taste has to stay in your core memory to pull u again. That part is missing!!!!!

  • 1/5 nithish k. 4 months ago on Google
    Worst experience from this place ,Order food via zamoto (3 biryani,kadai chicken, barbeque chicken half) ,I didn't receive barbeque chicken and sides for biryani in my order and taste was not satisfied as compared to my previous experience and kadai chicken was worst ever.they simply put up words I have send ,one of worst experience from this place bad response from both restaurant and zamoto patner.lost my money for the missing item and order almost 90mins to reach out totally worst branch .I tired to contact the restaurant number and it's switch off.

  • 2/5 Chandramohan D. 8 months ago on Google
    Not very much impressive as older times. We prefer to have authentic south india - particularly Tamilnadu based taste. But most workers are north indian labors who may not have this flaour/authenticity. I can see a north indian guy serving/preparing food with left hand. Also, I went there to pick my food directly to save time. But I'm made to wait for more time due to communication issue (happened in mid 2022). We mainly want to see our authentic specialty but that is missing. Even the employee attendance has hindi instruction to handle a considerable amount of workers. It's not a crime, but we visit this place for it's own authentic cuisine in mind.
