If you are in the mood for a masala style biryani, your search ends here. A generous amount of biryani, fit for at least 2-3 people, this pace has one of the most delicious fare. A favourite among Chennai-it’s, their branches are spread all over the city. The Hyderabadi Dum Biryani in mutton and chicken are a must try from here. The prices are reasonable, too, and you always leave with a good taste post your meal from SS Hyderabad Biryani.

Dindigul Thalappakatti Restaurant

The inception of this biryani joint dates back to 1957, when a man named Nagasamy Naidu’s biryani won praises and earned the name ‘Thalappakatti’ owing to the turban ‘Thalapa’ he would wear. Needless to say, the food doesn’t disappoint. High on spices and flavour, the biryani isn’t basmati-based but made of the short grained seeraga samba rice that has a taste of its own that’s synonymous to biryani from the South of India. Egg biryani, chicken 65, country chicken biryani and more, and not to forget the variety they have for vegetarians is just as impressive.
