Must-Visit Restaurants For Biryani in Chennai

Familiar sentences you could hear in a biryani outlet in Chennai. "Anna half chicken biryani" or "Thambi bucket biryani onnu" or, more often, "oru kuska parcel." These are some basic sentences to order biryani in Chennai. 

I am not a foodie. But when it is biryani, I can not avoid it. Especially if I am hungry, I forget my surrounding, and my full attention is on my plate filled with biryani. I love biryani; If the food is well made, there is no second thought; I gorge on it. 

Chennai has a mix of biryani culture in Triplicane and its surrounding. We can smell the Nawab style of biryani. In other parts of Chennai, we get a mixed flavor. Few places we get to taste in the name of Hyderabad Biryani. In other areas, we can taste Dum biryani. 

But to taste authentic biryani to full fill your taste buds, here comes the list of 5 must-visit restaurants in Chennai to fulfill your hungry search for biryani. All these restaurants are known for their taste and service. They deserve your presence. 

Salem R R Biryani

S S Hyderabad Biryani

YAA-Mohaideen Biryani

Dindugal Talapakatti Biryani

Salem R R Biryani

Salem, R R Biryani is a family-run business founded by R R Tamilselvan, well known for its quality and quantity. Salem R R Biryani is one of the famous restaurants gaining popularity among the young residents of Chennai. It is a sure treat for Chennai youngsters. 

Mr. R R Tamilsevan's story is a real inspiration for youngsters. This man built his empire all from scratch. He came to Chennai with an empty hand. Today, he owns Salem R R Biryani restaurant in numerous places across Chennai, earning millions. 

Like other biryani serving restaurants, Salem R R Biryani also serves their customers with basmati rice. Additionally, they provide "rytha" or "thayir pachidi" as mentioned in Tamil, along with the "eggplant curry" or "Kathrika thokku" as mentioned in Tamil. 

S S Hyderabad Biryani

One of the notable biryani faces in Chennai. A family-run business founded by Mr. S Abdul Samad. S S Hyderabad biryani is one of the household names when it comes to biryani days for a Chennai family. The taste is fantastic, so get ready to dive into their customer crowd waiting for their turn. 

They got the public's attention with their innovative marketing style by introducing the famous "bucket biryani" in Chennai. I remember people carrying "bucket biryani" on their hands-on celebration day. Do not forget to taste their "bread halwa" at the end. 

The story of Mr. S Abdul Samad is an inspiration for creating a brand from nothing is not that simple, but he has done it. S S Hyderabad Biryani has grown to 25 branches in Chennai and Coimbatore. If you are in Chennai, they have a presence in every corner of the city to cover your hunger. 

Sukkubhai Biryani

Another notable biryani face in Chennai is Sukkubhai Restaurant. Founder Abdul Khader started a small snack shop where they served "sukku coffee" later, people started addressing Mr. Abdul Khadher as "Sukkubhai"; thus, the brand name was coined. 

Sukkubhai's owner's story is one of the inspirational stories for today's youngsters. Through word of mouth, hard work, and brand positioning, Sukkubhai Biryani has made a niece in the food industry today. 

Sukku Bhai is famous for its unique menu list. Top of the menu, their beef biryani is a must-try here. Besides beef biryani, they are known for beef cutlets, fry, Kheema, and brain. Apart from beef biryani, they also serve Chinese and continental. They are highly recommended for "Beef Biryani."

Dindugal Talapakatti Biryani

A well-known brand, we can say the household name of every Chennai person. Personally, when I grew up in Chennai before I heard of any brand, Dindugal Talapakatti was the one emerging out of all.

I can firmly say that their branding of Dindugal Talapakatti started around the 2010-12 period. There were famous restaurants for vegetarian food, but a meat-serving restaurant was the one shining out of all. 

More than 50+ outlets in southern India, they are the number one brand I can say when it comes to meat-serving restaurants brand. Also, their food preparation is unique. Unlike other restaurants, Dindugal Talapakatti Biryani is prepared with traditional rice "seeraga Samba" or "samba rice." 

Buhari

I prefer that Buhari is the only restaurant to put Chennai on the international map. The reason is because of their innovation in the kitchen. They don't just prepare food; they also figure out what new can be designed for customers. 

One such innovative thought made them prepare the world-famous "Chicken 65". It is a deep-fried chicken that tastes spicy try it after squeezing lemon on top of it. Your stomach will crave it from the moment your eyes see it. 

During the early independent era of India, Buhari was the only restaurant that could be referred to as a restaurant. All their waiters were neatly dressed, and their serving style was international standard. Because of their service and reputation, many customers get attracted to their restaurant. 

Their first restaurant at Chennai Mount Road is still active and filled with customers. It is also ready to serve you and probably waiting to put off your hunger.
