I frequent this Karaikudi Chettinad. I have visited almost all the branches.Off late I find the quality of service and quality of food has gone to abysmal low.
Couple of days back I had this vegetable biriyani (Kaikari biriyani). I was expecting a spicy biriyani of Chettinad style. But what I got was bland white coloured rice with few vegetables.
I being a vegetarian, wanted to have some spicy biriyani as the non vegetarians have. But I was disappointed to see a white coloured rice in front of me. Most of the non vegetarian joints in Chennai like Velu Military hotel, Anjappar don’t serve veg briyani. In fact they prepare it then and there and give unlike the chicken and mutton biriyani which is cooked well when the rice is boiled.
Water was not served even after the food was served. This happened when there were hardly any people inside the restaurant. The crew were just lethargic. The prices have increased over 30% in a period of 1 year. A veg thali costs Rs 90/-, Veg Biriyani is Rs.80/-. All worthless
I then ordered a lime juice which costs Rs 25/-. Man…I tell you, this is the worst lime juice I ever had in my life. Less sugar, less lemon and more water! I think the restaurant had prepared this out of the lemon water meant for finger bowls!
So my dear people, Please don’t patronize such restaurants like Kaaraikudi Chettinad which offers nothing for great money!
