Biryani house · Chennai

Biryani, the
Pandia's way.

Golden rice, tender mutton and the kuska North Madras grew up on. Fresh off the dum, every single day.

The biryani பிரியாணி

Gentle on masala. Big on mutton.

Our biryani is golden, not fiery red. The spice stays in the background so every grain tastes of slow-cooked meat. Food writers have called it subtle and a little more golden than most. We take that as a compliment.

The regulars' order குஸ்கா · பரோட்டா

Kuska. Parotta. Mutton gravy. Perfect.

Ask a North Madras regular what to order and you'll hear the same three things. Biryani rice without the pieces, a soft flaky parotta, and a bowl of mutton gravy to bring them together.

Chef's note Start with the Chettinad chicken soup. It's peppery and worth it.
