I went to chennai to attend a friends wedding few days ago and on the way back we spotted this huge billboard screaming “food” . It was located 45 kms away and for some reason that was it . All we wanted to do was have our lunch at this restaurant . While on highway its my endeavour to find a good place and the search is never ending for me , good food is always a happiness quotient for me and that I don’t need a reason beyond that. We wanted to ensure we dont miss the exact location so turned to Ms.Google Maps for the direction and she like most times was very obliging . This was a huge building with loads of locals waiting near the entrance for their parcel and many cars packed . Well!isnt that the sign that’s a great place? Locals waiting for their parcels I mean 🙂

They had 3 floors including one fine dining however we settled on the ground floor which was a regular restaurant and was bustling with activities. Waiters running around, manager keeping his one eye on the waiters and another on the customers and so on.. I mostly saw people were enjoying their biriyanis. Having gone through a biriyani coma for the past 3 days we were not in for that idea and all we wanted was some sambhar , rice and may be a fish fry?

The waiter walked up to us and shared the menu and i skimmed through it and I obviously spotted only what I wanted 😛 . We ordered for Crab masala , Seer Fish fry (Tawa) and insisted on rice , sambhar and rasam as we didn’t want to waste the other dishes on the plate meals .They did have options for non veg meals too but we had a set menu on our minds you see . The food arrived say after a good 12 to 15 minutes may be because we didn’t stick to the regular orders. The crab masala was drool worthy and my picture is doing no justice to it honestly . It was the hunger that didn’t allow me to click properly *facepalm*. The sambhar was average as the coriander flavour was over powering and rasam was good . Fish fry was a good idea as it didn’t have any smell and was nicely done . We enjoyed our meal and happily walked out and it is my duty to let you all know and hence I am here 🙂  . Its an aye from me , If you happen to visit let me know how the biriyani was 😉
