This restaurant is pretty small and nothing, but don’t go but the exteriors. The food here is something to actually write home about! The biryani served at this restaurant is one of the best and most authentic biryani that you can get in all of Vellore. It might just be some of the best food you’ll eat in Tamil Nadu! The chicken dum biryani and the Ulavacharu special biryani are both highly recommended.

This place might be a multi-cuisine restaurant, but Indian cuisine here is undoubtedly the best! Again, this place is small and not very modern, but the food here speaks for itself. All the curries served here are delicious but a little on the spicy side, so you might want to ask your server to cut down on the chilies. The Hyderabadi chicken biriyani here is the best biryani in Vellore, without a doubt!

The overall vibe of this place is cute and quirky, with brightly colored walls and modern designs on the walls. While the menu has a lot of options to choose from, the best thing here is the wood fire mutton biryani. This biryani is actually a family recipe, so you know it’s going to be great! The kebabs and tikkas here are also really good.

While the place is nothing like a fine dining restaurant, the food served here is better than any five-star restaurant! The prices at this restaurant are very affordable, which makes this place a local favorite. The food served here is like home food, except much tastier! The mutton biryani with egg is the most recommended dish here, and this is actually the tastiest and best biryani in Vellore.

Do you want to have the most authentic and traditional dum biryani in Vellore? Then this is the restaurant to go to! It’s a small place with not a lot of seating space, and it is a local favorite, so it’s always very busy. But, the food here is worth the wait.
