Traveling from Bangalore to Chennai, the three of us wanted to eat biryani @ Ambur in Star Biryani. But the biriyani was sold out by the time we reached (7.40pm). We then decided to try out this place.
This place is located on NH-4, at the junction where the road splits towards Tirupati. This restaurant is located behind the 'Krishna Sweets' part of Motel Highway.
Considering the number of cars and buses parked outside we expected this place to serve a good fare.
They had only a few items. There was not biriyani and the only rice item they had was a 'Veg or a Chicken Fried Rice'. Unlike was was suggested by its name this place serves both Chettinad and Indian Chinese cuisine.
The chicken masala was a pepper based gravy with small pieces of chicken and was quite good. But when we ordered the item a second time, we got a toned down version (diluted with water). The parota (pan fried Indian flat bread made from processed wheat) was not fresh and was one that was ready - but reheated.
The paya (mutton hoppers) was just not tasty - had a smoky taste. The dosa (thin rice pancake) was fresh but the idiyappam (a rice flour based noodlesque preparation) or string hoppers was again not fresh.
The place is air conditioned and seats around 70 pax. Nothing to mention about the quality of service. The aforementioned items (2 portions of parota and a bottle of water) cost us INR 340/-. Money 'badly' spent.
Reco - Avoid - Just drive away from here!
