This is essentially a non-vegetarian, South Indian restaurant located a stones throw from the Vaniyambadi bus stop. The biriyani at Vaniyambadi is popular and I did not know which restaurant to source it from. I started making inquiries at Krishnagiri and also again while approaching Vaniyambadi and was directed to this one. It may be around 2 km off the Chennai - Bangalore highway (NH-46)
Food - The biriyani is made with long grain rice and is quite good. The mutton is cooked well and falls off the bone. It is accompanied by a onion raitha and a brinjal based gravy, both of which go well with the biriyani. There is ample meat in the biriyani and if you are not hungry, might find it difficult to finish the pieces of meat. The only minus was that there were a few small bone fragments that you need to capture and do away with before gorging into the biriyani.
Ambiance - Basic, non air-conditioned. I had in any case done a take away and did not eat there. However, I presume the place would be quite hot in summer. Parking a car around the restaurant would be challenging though not impossible.
Service - Fast - you come in, are seated, place your order...food is packed and served!
Cost - @ Rs.85/- per plate of mutton biriyani, it is reasonable.
Summary - Food - Good, Ambiance - Basic, Service - Acceptable, Cost - Reasonable.
Reco - I will definitely go there again when I drive thru this stretch of highway. It is certainly better than the more popular Ambur Star Biriyani and I do not think it is related to the Kajha Biriyani in Ambur. Certainly worth a detour!
