    worst ever food I've tasted in the recent past. not sure if it's a franchise outlet or something. absolutely nowhere closer to Buhari standards in terms of hygiene, taste and service. Stale meat, the plates seems to be used for ages, terrible service.

    Good Environment, dishes were tasty, briyani was awesome , you can also try chicken 90 which is new and it's boneless too, if you want to have some milkshake and juices you can get from the shop which is downstairs to the hotel.

    Was thinking of a place to go for a unplanned dinner. Buhari was chosen. Ambience is "OK". Easily accessible since it is in NH. Coming to food we ordered multiple dishes( images added). Everything was good in taste. I had Pepper BBQ chikn in Kilpauk Buhari, and ordered same here. It was not that good as that place, but still it was fine. Butter naan - 5/5. ( How could you rate butter naan 🤔) Mutton Chettinad- 4/5 Panneer butter masala -4/5 Veg briyani - 4/5 Veg Schezwan fried rice - 4/5 Mix fried rice - 4/5 Pepper bbq - 4/5 Crispy baby corn - 5/5

    ordered 2 mutton biriyani via swiggy. Worst biriyani ever. not even a mutton Biryani. just 4 pieces of mutton fry placed in egg biriyani and fkin 384rs per pack. Really worst. i even doubt if its really real Buhari.

    I bought take away tandoori chicken. They sold undercooked and spoiled chicken. I came back and reported and asked for a different dish since I can't trust on them giving the same item again. they refused to give different item. I just walked away silently. Not a trust worthy hotel.

    Not so good as expected. Taste is not good. I wouldn't have given a single star but gave 2 stars because of my previous experience with buhari. I think only madurayol branch is not providing good food, haven't tried at many places though.

    This Branch is spoiler of entire chain of Buhari. Kindly improve quality and cleanliness. See the water for hand wash. Better to avoid Hand wash and eat. Also, they used biryani big chest piece for chetinad chicken. Just took a piece from biryani and immersed in gravy. Even person who does not know cooking can guess it's not authentic dish. If you just have Briyani and go, can try. Don't try any different side dishes. Surely hesitant to go anymore and not a place for hygienic. Need to compromise many factors. I thinks other branches of this Chain hotel definitely not this much bad.

    jun 25 I went to this hotel for a lunch and order chicken briyani and tandoori chicken. It will be around 12 pm. They served briyani it's really good 😊. But the taste of the tandoori chicken 👎 I think it prepared for the yesterday night and served for this morning.

    I ordered the Mexican Shawarma and it was served completely cold at first. Then, they simply microwaved the same cold plate and served it. Easily one of the worst shawarma plates I have had. Plus, the service was shabby and the menu outdated as well. I’d recommend against visiting this place.

  • 3/5 Senthilkumar M. 1 year ago on Google
    Famous for Biriyani and Chain of Hotels in the Chennai City , one of which invented Chicken 65 in the year 1965 and hence named as chicken 65 after that.... Mutton biriyani and Falooda are famous food items.... overall a best family restaurant for lunch or dinner outings..ample car parking space is available....

    Golden brown prawns was good... Rest all not upto the mark...

  • 3/5 Anudeep M. 2 years ago on Google
    We had our lunch here, Food was ok ok. We like spicy food but the biryani was made like tomato rice. Though the quality of food was excellent. I think this one do not match the quality and taste of the one in Mount road.

    As far as I know, buhari actually has good name in market. But no more because of this branch. One of the worst experience I had with them. They hardly had only 2 people to take care of entire clients that too at peak hours( Friday, 8 pm). They couldn't manage the time to supply the ordered food. Almost 8 people went to that restaurant. In first round itself our order value would have crossed easily 1500 rs, but that person said he will charge for extra mayonese which was very bad. No hotel has charged or said like this. Briyani they supplied in dinner time was prepared in noon time. It's not hot too. Too bad. I suggest, pl avoid visiting that place. It's not worth paying for the food they supply. Don't spoil your good time and health.

  • 5/5 Balakrishna P. 1 year ago on Google
    Ambience is very nice and lighting is adequate. We ordered Biryani and Chicken. Both were amazing, right amount of spiciness. Quantity was also just right for 2 persons. Staff were cordial and service was good, although the order wait time could be reduce a bit. Overall a very satisfying experience.

  • 1/5 Shanmuga P. 10 months ago on Google
    I bought biriyani there it is very expensive but I thought the food was good . But it was very below average I don’t know whether the side dish is fresh today’s or yesterday. Packing quality good but food worst

  • 1/5 Karthick K. 1 year ago on Google
    Worst Paya I had in my life. Normally buhari paya taste was very good , but this restaurant not up to the mark. It’s not original buhari paya , waste of money

  • 1/5 Vishal B. 1 year ago on Google
    The quality of the food is deplorable. The mutton in their mutton biriyani was tougher than a leather boot. The chicken 65, which is supposed to be a highlight of Buhari, had only 4 pieces in a ₹350 plate, which were hard and bland. The service is terrible here. The staff don't pay attention to anything that you ask and will not get you basic things like cutlery, water glasses, salt and pepper, ketchup etc. The food also takes insanely long to arrive. Why the hell would it take 35 minutes for a Biriyani outlet to bring Briyani? It's always pre prepared! The whole experience was awful and the food was not even worth 10% of the ₹2500 bill. It's borderline criminal! They should close this place down.

  • 1/5 Vinodh T. 1 year ago on Google
    ordered a bucket biriyani for 4 to 5 persons and two chicken 90 boneless. The taste was very bad and I had to pay huge money for the biriyani but it was very old and not worth for the money. The onion raitha was very salty and cannot take it. After having paid so much money atleast decent food should be given. Think biriyani had been prepared days before it is not even hot and unfit to eat. My bill number 27319 Date 28 10 22 Brought from Buhari velappanchavadi branch. Please look into it and give me feedback.

  • 1/5 Muhilan T. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was expensive and very sub par. The Biriyani was almost inedible even for my friend who's a biryani maniac. I had Naan and chicken which was passable but in no way worth what they charge for it.

  • 5/5 Nikhil M. 1 year ago on Google
