    Quite Good place for family dining and the staffs were so friendly and responsible! Must try dishes : kuchi mutton , mutton nalli gravy and Fish finger. Fish finger was the show stopper so tender and fresh! Must try! Also other items were good as well! Only concern is parking space since Car parking is not much available!

    I like to say first the hotel was in first floor Initially we went to ground floor hotel and was about to order the food then only realised that this not Dindigul thalappakatti Speaking about food the taste was so good And the biryani was yummy but little bit costly that usual in this hotel Speaking about quantity not so worth for price

    Mutton biryani was lousy. Rice was dry and so the mutton. It was big and not at all juicy. Its over hyped. Avoid at all cost

    Thalappakaati is one of my fav but not this branch, ordered bbq which was awesome and top notch... soup was ok.. parotta was 60+rs but the parotta they gave was very very worst... it was very hard to have can't even eat that... I mostly visit thalappakaati for their biriyani .. it good in medavakkam and omr but here biriyani is full of ghee... Nothing else we could taste... Over all only bbq was good..

    First and foremost very delay in delivery and no pieces in briyani which we ordered. Then they gave a new one as replacement. Starter taste is not good as other franchise in Chennai. Management need to check this. No parking facility available. Overall ok. Better to go other branches.

    Best place for Biryani in Chennai. Their unique taste deserves a Five star. Mutton Biryani was superb. Gentle staff, exotic interior with a vintage touch reflecting the history of the legacy. A must visit while you are in Chennai.

    Mutton briyani is highly recommendable. Their black pepper chicken is a must try. Customer service is very good. Ambience is superb. Great spot to enjoy with friends and family. Many tables are available. One of the famous restaurant in our locality. Very hygienic place and the quality of food served is also very good. Valet car parking is available.

    Food was good but extremely bad service.Staff’s attitude was very unprofessional. Our table was handled by Bharath and Selvaraj. They were literally hiding from customers after serving the food. One must be lucky to catch them for running orders of refills. When raised this concern to the hotel manager during billing, his response was ‘how do you want to pay, card or cash?’ 😁. New lows of customer service here. Would never visit again.

    The ambience could have been better but the place looked clean. The place was situated at the first floor. The service was good. We went as a team of 11 members and ordered both veg and non veg. All the items tasted good. The black pepper chicken was everyone’s favourite. I never liked mutton but the mutton chops tasted so good. The biriyani was good as usual. We ordered alfaham which was ok. It was uncooked in some parts. But other than that everything else was good. We then finished it with gulab jamun of each. The gulab jamun with icecream was so good. We expected an bowl with icecream and gulab jamun but the presentation was good.

    Worst experience by staff. Being a traditional dindigul restaurant.. expect to have someone who can speak tamil by all means.. very poor service.. they are rude and not polite.. don't even offer to serve the food. Too expensive.. this was my first visit to the restaurant and felt bad in a way the name and fame that they have earned is lost by such poor waiters...

    Located in a busy locality with very limited parking space for cars! This is in the first floor of the building. Food is good, and so is the service! Ambience is like a typical upscale restaurant. Only con is the lack of proper parking spots, which can lead to scratches / dents in your car.

    After covid wave 2 review : We went on Sunday. It has very very less crowd. Only3-4 table along with us. We can safely go and have lunch/dinner. Felt quantity is reduced. Takes long time to even with less crowd. Taste is same as always. Very delicious and good aroma.

  • 5/5 Suraj Bhanu B. 2 years ago on Google
    All veg items what we covered mostly on menu were tasty and delicious. Servicing and staff behaviour is good and at the end. Most of the people like to finish their meal with a drink. Try Thalappakati Lemon Masala soda. It is awesome and it is more economical and best alternative for soft drinks.

    Yummy Dindigul thalapakkatti Biryani 😋 Wish Dey had veg options for vegetarian...instead of jst biryani..only drawback... Drank the famous Madurai special Jigarthanda 😋 sweet fr my taste though but delish

  • 5/5 Hariharan B. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is good. I went with my friend and we ordered a super meal for 2. The service is also great. Well, I request the outlet to increase the AC temperature because the food gets chilled quickly.

  • 5/5 Bhuvana E. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice atmosphere! Food was delicious and taste top notch, particularly service from Restaurant Br.Manager - Mr.Silambarasan was exceptionally good! very attentive. My experience here is always good, will recommend friends and relatives.

  • 3/5 Hari P. 1 year ago on Google
    Food tastes are good, but don't try Pamphlet fish Fry it's very worst . Mutton Briyani taste wise good but it's dry while they serve. Over all Good place for Dine inn.

  • 2/5 dhinesh s. 1 year ago on Google
    We used to dine in here once a month, but this time we chose take away. Previously, food was provided hot and taste was good, but today we had such a horrible experience that the biriyani wasn't hot and the barbecue chicken was so dry that it tasted like it had been cooked the day before, and the price had also gone up. How did the food go cold in just 5 minutes when the restaurant is only 5 minutes away from my home and I didn't order it through any third-party delivery apps? We are paying the same amount for dine-in as well, thus this is unfair. The taste is also no longer worth the price increase.

  • 4/5 praveen k. 10 months ago on Google
    Been there for dinner with family. The atmosphere was good. We ordered Mutton pepper soup, Moru moru chicken stick and boneless Mutton briyani. All the food items were good with average quantity. Customer service is also good.

  • 5/5 Navneet K. 1 year ago on Google
    I am at a loss for words to express how incredible this restaurant is! The mutton biriyani that I tried was exceptionally delicious! The restaurant is situated on the first floor of the building and is remarkably clean. Additionally, the service provided was very impressive. Must try!!!!

  • 4/5 Dhanil D. 10 months ago on Google
    The biriyani taste certainly got better compared to previous years, and bit of ghee taste is welcoming kids also to taste biriyani. I always enjoy the number of masalas in this biriyani. Tawa prawn chukka roasted and fried was very good with biriyani. This restaurant is spacious and was not crowded on a Saturday. Bharath ensured the food was served timely and always checked for any more order. Good ambience and happy. Parking car or a bike was clumsy, but they are improving.

  • 3/5 doc b. 10 months ago on Google
    Food is gud but quantity is too low fr briyani. Cb contains just a small piece of chik & an egg. Not worth fr money bcz chicken briyani costs 300rs per person.

  • 4/5 Arthei K. 7 months ago on Google
    I eat only vegetarian food there at thalapakatti. The restaurant has improved a lot from the year of 2011 for vegetarians there are choices available and food is also cooked separately. Whenever there was a treat among friends I will avoid as we could find pieces of non veg in veg food. The service was horrible. Now the story is completely different good choices and have a meal l. Their summer drink good and nominal rate, they should continue the pricing so that we can get it all time.

  • 5/5 Priya 4 months ago on Google
    Good service and Good place for non veg varieties. But, we need to go on time to taste our fav varieties. Otherwise, we will miss it. I missed rose sarbath which is my favorite. Next time will taste it for sure. Prices are reasonable.

  • 5/5 M R. 4 months ago on Google
    Fantastic knowledgeable service. Super fresh delicious foods. Reasonably price, be prepared for wait. The scallops were perfectly cooked. Worth the wait, they will text you when your table is ready.

  • 1/5 J H. 3 years ago on Google
    Cheaters. What we ordered and what we got was different. Taste not good. Unprofessional. Seems uneducated and backward. Always zomato, tomato, swiggy, piggy guys keep chatting without face mask. No social distancing. The reception guy don't seem to bother about COVID-19. If you wanna get COVID-19, go to this restaurant. Someone should lodge complaint for violating COVID-19 norms.

  • 1/5 Krishnakumar G. 3 years ago on Google
    Its second time for us. First time we ordered 2 mutton biryani and we got mushroom briyani. Second time we ordered 1 mushroom and 1 panner briyani and the wrost thing is we received 2 plain rice ?

    Ok

  • 3/5 Nivaas S. 3 years ago on Google
    Me with my family visited this restaurant during this covid-19 lockdown period, as at the entrance they had kept sanitizer dispenser and watch man taking temperature readings and making a note of name and phone number. The government had asked not to use AC so only 3 table fans they have been using, only very few dishes is available mutton biriyani, special chicken biriyani both cost the same and egg biriyani with this they have some beverages, thery Provide disposable plates spoons and if parcel is needed they won't take the dish plates back to kitchen, to avoid that we got box to back our food by ourselves.

    Ordered a mutton biriyani got a chicken biriyani... The bill said mutton but only when I got home I saw it was chicken... How convenient to fool customers like this during a crisis??!! Will I get a refund?

  • 4/5 Gowtham A. 4 years ago on Google
    Taste was good but the service can be even better. No one fills the water in the glasses, if you order soups, starters and main course at the same time, they bring everything together without a sequence and it's your choice to make or eat it fast. Need to concentrate more on customer service. If you don't mind all these it's a best place to have your meal or dinner.

  • 5/5 Abhijeet D. 4 years ago on Google
    I was initially hesitant because of bad experiences in past few years. But after looking at the recent good reviews, I decided give another try to this restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised with the significant improvement in service, food and ambience. I hope this restaurant regain back it's legendary status. Best wishes.

  • 3/5 Libin A. 4 years ago on Google
    Tastie food. High quality and quantity also good. But they should improve staff's management. Zero responsible waiters. The guys making fun between them. But not take care about the customers. I noticed all customers. Everyone waited just for water and their orders. Please improve staff's quality at your Velachery branch. Food is next, behavior is first. Keep this as a note.

  • 3/5 Bhavya S. 4 years ago on Google
    Authentic food. Taste is good and different from other restaurants. But the quantity they serve is really less, it's almost half the quantity of normal restaurants.

  • 4/5 Muthu R. 4 years ago on Google
    Food and environment are good. Only thing is the waiters can't understand some items that we say. They seems to be from North. If they know Tamil very well it would have went little more smooth.
