    We had been to this restaurant on seeing the video and Google reviews. It was Sunday and the restaurant wasn't much crowded but there wasn't a seat cos seats were scatteredly occupied due to which couldn't find a table. Coming to food, the dum chicken biryani has got over when we reached there around 3pm. We had ordered fire biryani and chicken varuval biryani also, rayalseema chicken and mayonnaise chicken. Mayo chicken was good πŸ‘ would give 4/5 Rayalseema chicken wasn't that great however, it was presented well. 2/5 Fire chicken boneless biryani - quantity isn't enough if you are in craving hunger also the taste isn't like a layer biryani as it didn't give authentic feel. 3/5 Chicken varuval biryani - it was really a disastrous one cos only bone pieces were topped and taste wasn't good at all. 1/5 Mayonnaise chicken - The pieces were bit hard however it was made really well. This is definitely must try and this again isn't available in good quantity.

    The best place in chennai for trying Hyderabad biriyani and their starters are too good and yummy. My favourite and must try starter is chicken mayonnaise. The green leaf mushroom also too good. One of the best biriyani tasted ever

    Good ambience, taste is good. You should definitely taste Biryani, Apolo fish and icecream with gulab jamun. There is no parking space and the restaurant is small. It will be a rush during peak hours.

    One word alright.......i had a mixed experience....... The service was the worst(delayed and wrong food delivery and poor experience) but the food was good and i thought the price was little over priced and not worth the hype only because of the service

    Hey foodiesπŸ‘‹, This place has the best hyderabadi biryani in Chennai, The food was fantabulous. Spice eaters would love this place, This place serves Andhra and chettinad style dishes. The only snag at this place is it holds seating for around 30 people and others have to wait. The recommended dishes are fire biryani, curry leaf mushroom, guntur gobi, andhra chilli chicken.✌🏼

    1. Chicken Mayonnaise - Starter was very good…8-10 strips of chicken with Mayo dressing. Taste was very good. Give it a try 2: Chicken biriyani- Hyderabadi style. Tasted little dumb due to lack of salt and flavours…Maybe it didn’t work out today. Quality of food - 5/5 Ambience- 3.5/5 ( 40-50 seats) Service - 4/5 Went early for lunch so was not crowded and had a pleasant dining experience

    Mayonnaise chicken is must recommended. One briyani is good enough for 2 people. Ambience is very good.

    Heard a lot about this place and it lives upto it's expectation. One of the best hyderabad style biryani i have had so far also must try is mayonnaise chicken, it was good. Avoid Sunday as finding a place to sit will be difficult and be patient to be served as they take lot of time.

    Came here to try the fire biryani that I had had a few years before. Definitely it has been toned down for the popular crowd. I guess since it got hyped by several social media videos the prices have shot up. The Fire Biryani's 305 price tag is not at all justified. The biryani was served in a PUBG Style skillet not sure why. We also had Mutton Chukka Biryani which was priced at 370, again no justice for the price. The decor was thoughtful and nicely done.

    I am so eager to try this restaurant finally went ambience is good but don't go on Sundays u won't enjoy it , This chicken biryani will cost you 287 rupees we need to self serve it that not at all problem if food cost is less , Ok coming to taste it's tasteless 😫😫 some masala doesn't give any taste don't except any mirchi flavour but chicken pieces super soft you will get hardly 2 pieces . I really shocked in bill they mentioned best authentic Hyderabad biryani , has anyone given certificate to you ....? Still if don't want to trust this review better order from swiggy/Zomato for 345 atleast u will get 1000ml biryani if you like that then you can visit the place

    Best for spicy lovers . There is not much taste difference between a variety of biriyanis. Starters were good nd spicy ( which we liked the most) Mutton chukka is a must try for sure ! There are 4 flavours of Ice creams ( don't go for chocolate until otherwise you're a hard core chocolate lover )

    Chicken Mayonnaise, Hyderabadi Style Mutton Sukka Mirchi Biriyani is a must try! Do give it a try for daily offers for dine-in. Recommended spot for team lunch, couple and friends meet up.

  • 5/5 Ananda n. 2 years ago on Google
    Each and every biriyani is so good. Special mention to tandoori fried rice which I really liked. Next the prawn starter they gave are delightful. Customer service was good. The food was on time. But it's a small outlet Just go early so that you don't have to wait. Overall for me it was a good experience.

    The food was good both in terms of taste and quantity. The portion size was more than sufficient for 1 person with proper appetite. The ambience was fine.

    Biriyani is very good and all the starters are tasty. Less options for mutton and seafood.. Thanjavur sarbath is nice..

    Vegetarians beware! Got served chicken pieces in our paneer biryani. Our vegetarian household got scarred for life.

  • 5/5 Saravana Prasath S. 5 months ago on Google
    A group of 8 members, the waiting time was 10 mins as many companies are nearby. But placed the order while waiting so time saved. The restaurant is very small and could have been a little bigger. There isn't much to talk about ambiance. Service was very quick and they even served food. They were very polite and understanding. We ordered both veg and non veg starters everything was top-notch. No complaints in general. The main course was briyani, naan and paneer butter masala. Again everyone had a great meal and were happy. Last touch was paneer soda. Overall we had a great time.

    Best Hyderabad briyani in town an green leaf mushroom was nice. The ambience was good. It's a nice and compact place to eat.

  • 4/5 John Kelvin F. 3 months ago on Google New
    We ordered ginger garlic prawn. A creamy but crunchy taste. We ordered fire biryani(chicken 65 briyani) and varuval briyani. The staff were very responsive and attentive. Would like to visit again.

  • 5/5 Vijay Alagarsamy (. 2 years ago on Google
    A decent ambience with good quality dishes. I appreciate the team for bringing varieties of chicken starters that's a must try for every guest. We have tasted almost all of the starters, prawns and chicken varieties are awesome. Neat and clean.

  • 2/5 Deepak Senthil Kumar S. 9 months ago on Google
    Ambience is worst , it was bathroom smell all the time They can re-named from The old Mirchi to The old chicken , chicken was hard. Biryani isn't to any level of hyderabadi style. Only plus point was starter taste was good but chicken was old and hard. Not worth spending 500/- for a person here.

  • 4/5 Senthamil Selvan (. 11 months ago on Google
    Been there for dinner. Tried their famous Fire biryani, it was not worth the hype. Chicken was so dry and rice and masala was good. Try kozhi varuval biryani instead. Can accommodate 30 to 40 people. Quantity is okay for one if you are really . Price is to much for this biryani. All are Hyderabadi style biriyani. Try if you are in chennai.

  • 4/5 sudhansu s. 1 year ago on Google
    Good food , Taste can be no Better, small and beautiful restaurant. You can visit with all your friends and family members. And have beautiful time.

  • 4/5 Subin S B. 2 years ago on Google
    We reached around 1pm. Decided to try CHICKEN MAYONNAISE starter after seeing reviews. It was really delicious. Tried the FIRE BIRIYANI too which was good. It had around 6 boneless chicken pieces. We also tried the Chicken FRIED RICE. It too was outstanding. Quantity wise the starter and biriyani were okay, fried rice was worth it. Would definitely recommend.

  • 4/5 tamil e. 2 years ago on Google

  • 2/5 Arun M. 2 years ago on Google
    Worst serving but good taste. Bread halwa was not provided. We waited for about 20-30 min for a biryani. Please see to that

  • 1/5 Kriti 2 years ago on Google
    The VERY OLD mirchi biryani .. we have visited this place after seeing the food reviewer IRFAN'S VIEW. First of all its very very very wrong promotion in my experience.. 1. The price is too high for this quality of food. 2. Washroom is the worst. Even the public washroom is far better. After washing my hand i sincerely thought should i eat here? so i told to the waiter there is a water blockage in the washbasin. He was such a nice guy he immediately took action so , he took the spoon which is placed in the dining table for the customers and cleared the water blockage. After seeing that I didn't use any utensils until i finish. 3. I have ordered chicken mayonnaise and fired chicken biryani but not up to the mark. 4. thanjai nanarai sarbath which is 60rs nothing but ice water with added sugar with some chia seed. Bon Appetit. Never ever believe the paid reviewers.
