Hotel Sri Kamatchi Biriyani Veedu

Want to wait more than 1.30 hours for dining during weekends. Briyani was good and other dishes are ok. Very small place for dining. Liked the Kamachi fish fry. Those who are new to this place, can give name to receptionist and go for a small outing because it will take 1 hour for dining. Parking slot is small. Good ambience.

Amazing Tamil food. Thoroughly satisfied with the overall experience. Every dish here packed a punch. Pro tip- Get the goli soda guys. It will compliment all the dishes on offer here. I got the chicken meals here while my friend got the veg meals. Both the meals were very filling and reasonably priced. The Chicken curry had an excellent kick of pepper and the rasam was a pleasure to sip on it's own. Fish Kamatchi was good as well. Highly recommended restaurant in Pondicherry for your Tamil meal fix. Parking is not an issue in Pondicherry so leave your vehicles wherever really.

PS: On the opposite side of the restaurant there is a wall art of a kid. Have attached a picture for your reference. Pondicherry has little surprises like this which I really love.

Single line review: Must visit 🔥, it will not disappoint 👍🤝

Full review:

If you came to pondi, you must visit this. One of the best hotels to taste original pondi food. Everything here is good.

We ordered Chicken Biryani, Mutton Kuzhambu, Chicken Kuzhambu, prawns kamatchi, fish kamatchi, chicken kuzhi omlet, viral fish fry, Jigarthanda and guess what Everything is too good. None of them disappointed. And everything is must eat.

Cost was not that high. Don't come here if you are not that hungry. Come With empty Stomach and go wild on the menu.

Trust me you will not disappoint. Service was good, they were polite. It doesn't have much ambience just good enough.

*Free Dish Alert 😋* : They will provide Rasam annam as complementary. Try it. It is not the best rasam, but as it is free it tastes good 😅.

Note :

I saw many reviews before going there. But still it fulfill my expectations. I ordered the Mutton biriyani and Chicken 65. also lemon and blueberry soda
All the items are so yummy. Special thanks to waiter Shakti -who was really cordial and always smiling face

5 out of 5

All the dishes are good. Ambience is ok. Fish n prawn kamatchi their signature dish are good. Pricing are ok not so expensive. Staff are courteous. Only issue was with the meat in the mutton biryani. Since there is biriyani in the name i wanted to try one biriyani item n ordered mutton but the meat was undercooked and hard but all other dishes are fine. Will recommend if ur spicy food lover but not sure on biriyani.

Hidden Gem in white town. Food taste is excellent. Quick service. Tip- Go early to get the table or you have to wait for long

Note - they serve only non vegetarian food.

Must try

Minimum wait time is 30 minutes if you want to have food on Weekends. Buts it's completely worthy.

We tried mutton biryani , Kamatchi fish and Prawns
Everything is excellent in taste and mutton is cooked really well.

Service is lightning fast and quantity is good enough.

I was looking for a good place for dinner in the White Town area and suddenly got to see the hoarding of this place. Went in and waited for few minutes for us to get a table. It was an early dinner though around 8pm. Small cosy place and interior is very simple and plain with few food pics as wall hanging. Food served by them was quick. Fresh hot foods. We ordered the special Mutton Biryani, Mutton laba (stuffed mutton parotta), prawn Kozhi Omlette ( stuffed with prawn), prawn Roast and Elaneer Payasam as dessert. The dessert was just awesome. Highly recommended to try this. Mutton Biryani is also best. Prawn Roast was not that much good. U get a complimentary rice and mutton rasam which is a bit different and unique from rest of the restaurants. Prices are reasonable. Quality and quantity is maintained properly. A little background music would have been better. I really enjoyed the food. Not spicy but very fresh ingredients used for cooking. It's an odd one out amidst all the cafes and bar and multi-cuisine restaurant in that area. The watchman outside is very kind and gentle person. Few tips makes him really happy.
