Indian breads, parotta salna and brain fry. Super
We had delicious homely food with good service . Side dishes are good 👌👌👌 especially the nethili fish fry . Good atmosphere . Definite try .
Meals are always amazing.And what about non veg meals that has almost all your favourite items wrapped in a single meal?⠀ Then you definitely need to try the meals from the Hotel Virudhunagar Chettinad which serves authentic South Indian non veg food.⠀ My plate had lots of gravies to try and had prawn fry and nethili varuval.The prawns were cooked just right which is hard to master and the nethili fish fry was better than anything I had ever tasted before.⠀ Worth the money for sure.Everything was cooked to perfection,spiced right and it was delicious!!!⠀
We had mutton biriyani and mutton liver fry and it was very well cooked and delicious. The service was quick and the staff attended to us very well. Hoping to bring my family here in future. Loved it!
My family loves biriyani and hotel Virudhunagar is known for their biriyanis and the non-vegetarian side dishes. Here are some of my favourite dishes:
Mutton biryani
Mutton chukka
Vanjaram fry
Pepper chicken
Looking for a good restaurant after hours of tireless shopping over at T Nagar ? Suggestions usually would have been Virudhunagar Restaurant. How does it stack up ? Here is Detroit Food Safari look into Hotel Virudhunagar Restaurant. First of all, if you are looking for a restaurant after hours of shopping, then this restaurant might not be suited to you. It is usually pretty crowded during weekends for lunch. And chances are you have to wait for at least 10 minutes before you can find a table there. There is no table reservations, so don’t hope for that.
Everytime i go to this place, the food is soo tasty and they maintain the quality of their food pretty constantly.
The all time fav for me here is d Mutton biryani - Succulent pieces which are cooked properly n d meat is also very tender. Good portions are also served for the biryani.
Also their chilli prawns are another level taste wise. It's a must try for seafood lovers. Surely this place is a food haven for seafood lovers in chennai.
Apart from that their butter chicken is really good.
Ambience is also pretty good. The place is pretty packed up in d weekends. But trust me it's worth the wait.
All in all a great restaurant that'll leave your taste buds satisfied, even after the meal is done.
😁
Decent place to have lunch with our family. There are more restaurants in Tnagar but only few places serve good food and this is one such. Biriyani taste was also good including side fishes.
This is my most fav biriyani spot in town, trust me the chicken curry that they provide alongside their biriyani is priceless. A must try for biriyani lovers.
Well this place at T nagar has one of its best biriyani. The starters are really good. I loved the spiciness in the biriyani. The ambience was okay. It is a bit pricey place though. A must try place. A variety of chicken currys. Especially the Naattu Kozhi typos.
I love this place and it is a must visit for me every time I’m in Chennai. Chettinad food at its best. Love the crabs here. Crabs deserve a special mention. Also the meals are simple and good. Very pocket friendly. Great location too. The fried king fish is also amazing here. Must visit.
Regular customer for this hotel for past 7+ yrs. Biriyani flavour always remains the same. Must try mutton briyani, naatu kozhi thokku and Biriyani, nandu thokku, prawn...
This place is for people who love the Chettinad cuisine. Ambiance was good and staff were attentive. Meals are the best over here and Biryani is forte of this place. On the overall,it was a good experience.
Sea foods are go good................
The taste of biriyani has been so good
They have a wide range of sea food in live counter and ther service also friendly
Got here at about 10.30pm, ordered Parotta, Nattukkozhi chicken curry and a chicken 65 for non-vegetarians and a butter naan, chilli paneer, virudhunagar special fried rice and gobi manchurian. Everything was fantastic! The vegetarian folks were a bit skeptical about this place given the fact that this place is known for non-veg food, but they were pleasantly surprised. Though everything was good, I would like to recommend the Parottas in this place. The best parottas I’ve had in a while.
We asked for some steamed rice and curd as the finishing touch. The waiter said they normally do not give curd separately, but he got it for us. In return, he was clearly expecting a tip which was very obvious through his actions. I can’t think of a reason why the hotel management is not selling curd separately and the waiter kept insisting that after giving us the curd which was annoying. Otherwise, we had a lovely wholesome dinner.
First time tried for lunch..huge crowd but managed to get dining..must try out fish fry, non veg meals was good...😋food was hot and taste are awesome...best one is service, they are pollite and quick service.. much appreciated overall VFM 4/5
Awesome taste, value for money, good place to taste chettinadu style foods... sea foods are delicious... especially prawn 65 and sear fish fry...

As we had a shopping plan in T Nagar I was searching for Chettinad Restaurant in that area and Hotel Virudhunagar looked like just the perfect place. And sure as hell it was.
We reached there around 2 PM, by walk, taking some rapid directions from the market area in T Nagar. I like the roofy exteriors of the restaurant. Carries an old age charm. That and the pillars. But the crowd outside gave me a scare, without letting me enjoy the ambience. As it was 2 PM+ I thought getting a seat is gonna get real tough. But luckily after drooling over the live catches, there was a gentleman who saw our huge crowd and gave a private room immediately. Lucky us.
Getting into the room, my first thought was how the service would be, because generally these separate rooms don’t get proper service. But to my astonishment, the service was prompt.
We wanted to have a no nonsense proper lunch. So we went to main course directly. Ordered a Non Veg Meals. Total value for money. And with all Kuzambu’s coming in Mud Pot, it felt great even before tasting. Next up was Prawn Biryani, which tasted very well too, the mix was just right. I never thought the flavour of Prawn would be induced in Biryani but it was, so was totally satisfied. We also ordered a Veg Fried Rice which wasn’t good but as soon as we informed, the waiter promptly removed it and gave us Rice and Rasam not only for our vegetarian member but for the whole family. Rasam was top notch. So everyone loved it. Not sure whether they’d give rice for everyone but we really enjoyed having Rasam rice after biryani. Last but not the least, Nethili Fry, our regular at any chettinad restaurant was too good. The best I’ve ever had. So in all an extremely satisfying experience.

Quick Review: A good place to have the traditional Tamil cuisine.
Detailed Review:
Location: It is located in T Nagar on GN Chetty Road and is very easy to locate as it is on the main road itself. Parking will be easy for two wheeler and I believe they have valet parking for four wheeler.
Ambience: Nothing much here to write about as the place is decent and they have AC dining and a top floor dining area too.
Service: The service is very quick and the food items dont take very long to land up on your table right from Biriyani to meals.
Food & Drinks: We were a group of 5 from office and we ordered some biriyanis and couple of us ordered non veg meals along with Prawn 65 and pepper chicken for starters. All the items were good, though the non veg thali could have been better if they had added some more dishes to it. The nonveg thali comprises of a mutton curry chicken curry and fish gravy and the rest of the items are from the usual veg thali. Most of the items were very good and I would definitely recommend it to others.
Location: 5/5
Ambience: 3/5
Service: 4/5
Food & Drinks: 4.5/5
Overall: 4/5
Always a favourite for me when it comes to non-veg food. Had their Virudhunagar special fried rice & fish fingers multiple times. Taste & quality have been consistent! Food is served quickly. The restaurant is almost always crowded for lunch & dinner.
Virudhunagar special fried rice-9.5/10— mushrooms, chicken & egg along with vegetables cooked perfectly & a flavoursome dish. Can have it as it is or along with the gravy they provide. (₹190)
Fish fingers—9/10— another favourite dish, scrumptious crunchy & fresh fish served with mayonaisse leaves you wanting more. (₹230)
That also have a variety of other dishes for you to choose from.
Value for money-8/10
Ambience-7/10
Service-9/10
Absolutely recommend for non-veg lovers!
Excellent place. Mutton biryani is ultimate taste no hotel Can come near that taste of it. Very good service. They behave like family people. I visit every Sunday.
We had our lunch today. The meals was good, good in quantity and tasty.fish kulambu which was served in meals was very tasty. The service was really good.
We ordered nethily fish and viral fish fry also. Nethily was very good ,tasty and good portions. But viral fry was not good, so small pieces and no value for money.
Overall it is good.
Had lunch after a long time at virudhunagar which really good . Had south India meal which was unlimited and the taste was also very good . Nothing too exciting about it .
Great place for a family or friends reunion, for Chettinad lovers. The worth in this hotel is the #crab lollipop , #mutton chukka. But at late night Biriyani won't be tastes that good.

Loved this place, the food is amazing, portions huge, quality great, service is warm, ambiance is nice and completely vfm. We tried the chicken chettinad gravy, appams and butter naan.. it was mindblowing and then they got us the special chettinad gravy to taste. Trust me this was the best. Full of flavour and so good - i am definitely ordering this next time again. The chicken dum biryani was the best till date in chennai. The gravy that accompanied it took the game notches higher. The chicken pieces were huge and the biryani was served with egg and dagi kanda or raita. Loved it. This was the first time we had food on a banana leaf. They feed you so lovingly. No wonder this is a legendary place in chennai. I am a fan of Virudgunagar cuisine .. and this place tooooo. Must visit. The sea food is excellent i hear.. next time for sure ..
Been an all time favourite place for almost a decade now... This place has never disappointed me.. The Best is their Biryani.. Succulent meat n flavourful rice... Dont miss their Netthili Fry.. chittnadu chicken and nattu kozhi biryani. avoid going there on Sundays as it's jam packed with shoppers who don't mind waiting long to eat there.. Be Friendly with the waiters and they would treat you extra special with some gravies on the house... the best part is they would remember you the next time you visit...
Absolutely amazing food , freshly made and homely ambiance
Biryani is a must have at this place mutton was like butter , Prawn 65 was simply delicious
(Hotel virudhunagar owner also providing fasting shahar food entire one month free for Ramadan)
Food 5/5
Service 4/5
Ambition 4/5
Over all good.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍all the best .
One of the best mutton biryani I had but the quantity is very less, I ordered Tangadi kebab was so yummy.... Every food in this restaurant was so awesome
We wanted to have Idiyappam, Idli and Chicken/ Mutton Stuffed Parotha; but all these items they served in the evening only. So ordered mutton birayani. Biryani was good and their customer service is awesome. Ambiance is okay.
Their mutton biriyani is like a typical Muslim marriage biriyani..tastes wonderful..biriyani lovers should give a try..All other orederd dishes were satisfactory..looking forward to explore more varieties in coming days..
Their Mutton Biriyani is Good. Any Biryani lover can give a try. Try Pepper Chicken Fry.
They usually give Idiyappam with Paaya, if you order any side dish. If you don't, they will say "You won't get Paya and there is no accompaniments for idiyappam" in a rude manner (I have faced this when I ordered Idiyappam for Takeaway long back).
Today I had my lunch in hotel virudhunagar chettinadu restaurant & it's a nice place especially for kids & family.It has a good ambience & soothing music playing in the background & parking facilities is not bad.If one wants to try traditional chettinadu styles then I would say it's the place. Hotel has a #pick & cook option for seafoods🦀🐟🦐🦑🦈 which is a good thought.Coming to cost it's reasonable for which it deserves. Overall it's good place for family & kids.
I fell in love with their non veg meals... They serve the best curry.. Both chicken and mutton curry with rice were good.. Rasam was epic... I was pleased when the sandbar was also ultimate..
Tried their mutton liver fry and that was really good..
The Biriyani had a good flavor.. Except for the slightest smell in the lamb meat.. Could feel the smell in the meat...
Their service was good once.. And bad the next time.. So can't really comment on it..
The high was serving the curry in mud pits..
Way to go guys..
Highly recommended if you would like to have a typical spicy Non veg food. Non
veg meals is a must try.
Order for door delivery- They provide quantity sufficient for 2-3 people’s meal.
After a huge shopping with no idea we entered this restaurant to have something quickly. The restaurant was jammed. But somehow we managed to get our seats in next 5 minutes. It was frigid all over.
Our orders:
Egg fried rice,mutton biryani, nattu kozhi biryani, non veg meals,tandoori (half), viral fish fry and some flavoured ice creams.
Mutton biryani and nattu kozhi biryani was finger licking dishes.
Except these two, every other dishes were usual, including the starters.
I wont recommend trying non veg meals in this place. Eighter of the Biryani variety mentioned above is recommended.
Servers: we have to keep on calling and insisting them to make the orders quick.
Food:3.5/5
Servers:3/5
Ambiance:3.5/5

Review based on 2 times visit to the restaurant.. first time went on a Sunday fr lunch .. heavily crowded but managed to get a seat in ten mins .. ordered prawn briyani , vanjaram fry, mutton briyani .. briyani came with bread halwa as accompaniment .. all the items where awesome in taste ... next time went for dinner .. ordered chicken briyani , chicken chettinad masala , egg dosa , pomfret fry , parotta.. everything was well made ..pomfret tasted nice but price was a bit higher given the size they provided .. service is not that good .. if u can tolerate the service , this can be a good restaurant to visit fr some tasty briyani and sea food delicacies
PS : prawn 🍤 briyani is a must try here ..
One of the finest restaurant in Chennai. They serve the best mutton biryani and prawns masala. Chicken chettinad is also a must have dish here. Chicken chettinad and appam are a great combo however it’s available only during dinner times.
This hotel welcomes us with it's signature welcoming guy with a royal attire, the hotel offers space for both regular dining and posh dining the food is good especially those authentic South Indian dishes,good atmosphere tasty dishes but the price was a little high for a middle class family, other than that the restaurant is good.👍👍
It was a couple of days ago I visited this restaurant which is recommended by my buddy. the washroom not cleaned at all even it was after informing to the staff.I ordered a mutton briyani it was served with chicken curry and onion raitha.The briyani was good . service is also good.
We ordered mutton Biryani, prawns 65, mutton thala Kari and tangdi kebab.
Mutton biryani - 4/5
Quantity was good.. taste was quite satisfying and there was all boneless pieces.
Prawns 65 - 4.5/5
Prawns were soft...tasted very fresh n juicy...good quantity.
Mutton Thala Kari - 3/5
Taste wise good but quantity was so less...only came for three spoons....can be a bit softer.
Tangdi kebab - 2.5/5
Two burnt leg pieces with absolutely no taste... chicken was hard and there was no flavour.
In short a good place for south Indian n sea foods.
Overall Rating - 3.5/5
Hotel exterior was good..
Ambiance was okay.. Always crowded..
Ordered chicken biryani, chicken 65, tandoori chicken,fish fry,butter naan n mushroom gravy..
Biryani was excellent.. chicken 65 n tandoori chicken was okayish.. fish fry was good.. Mediocre mushroom gravy ..
Good family restaurant...

Ambience:This place is soo crowdy :( during the weekends and this shows how good the restaurant is.I could see families everywhere and the place is neat and well maintained,yet busy.They let us select our choice of fish and cook.Thats the speciality here😍
Food:

Tasty traditional food .... Excellent seafood varieties ... But service need to improved. Seafood price was very high especially the thai grilled fish. Overall good place to have tasty food with family and friends.

Most scrumptious biryani, we always take a parcel home!

Food:- good
Cost:- good
Service:- good
Visited this place for lunch after a purchase in t.nagar, parking is no problem they have a space and they managing with roadside also .. dinning space is huge and interior looks neat. Coming to the food non veg meals for 120 with mutton, chicken and fish kolambu is vfm . Biriyani is usual usual chettinadu style biriyani . Chicken lollypop is good and cooked well. Chettinadu chicken comes with 3 medium pieces and spicy level is not much ,but quantity can be bit high. One of the good place for non veg lovers after shopping .. Didn't try fish as I am.not a big fan of sea foods ..
Great Chettinadu Food, good ambiance and great biryani
The food is good specially the varieties in the Chettinadu Cuisine like
Netli Fry
Prawn 65
Pepper Chicken
Chettinadu Chicken
Fish Kolumbu
Parota
Aapam
The biryani is great and is a must try when you come here. Even the Falooda was quite good. The service is quick and fast.

This place is crowded much. We went on a Sunday. First we visited to the first floor but we felt it was more stuffy then we got a table in ground floor. We ordered Turkey Briyani, Chicken Lollypop, Shark Podimas (Suraputtu), Butter Naan, Chicken chettinad gravy. Service was ultra fast, very impressed with their fast service.
Chicken Lollypop and Suraputtu were awesome
Turkey Briyani taste was good but the pieces of Turkey were very hard.
Butter Naan and chicken chettinad was as unusual
For lunch Menu, they dont have omlette which I feel that they should considering preparing Omlettes.
Overall great service, Nice food.
Good Place to have Non veg Food. I tried food in their place two years before. It was very delactable.
And I tried recently. Their quality didn't change.
I ordered biryani and Seafood varieties.
Both types were nicely cooked and It was a very decent South Indian Type Food.
Must try for South Indian Cuisine Lovers.
After a Decade I went back to this restaurant which is super cool and amazing.
They have improved and developed a lot.
There is no point to find any problem.
Everything is fine perfect.
One of the best non vegetarian restaurant in Chennai for meals,biryani,any meat and fish items.

Good vibrant ambience and tasty food. It serves wide range of fresh sea foods. And it's really worth the money. Prawns and Variety of fishes are a delight to eat. Try chefs reciepie's like Crispy Chicken Fry and Chefs special prawn.
Firstly the ambient light was neat and had a pretty decent crowd which obviously says the place has some pretty good food. Food was excellent especially dragon 🐉 chicken 🐔, kotthu poratta and crispy chicken. Just loved their briyani, very tasty and favorable. Highly recommend.
We ordered mutton biriyani,poratta and paaya, kotthu poratta, dragon chicken and crispy chicken.
Mutton biriyani- taste was awesome with colourful never miss the brinjal churry.
Poratta and paaya- very delicious combination with high quantity.
Dragon chicken-one of my favourite dish really i loved it taste top notch 😋 perfect sweetness.
Crispy chicken- liked as name chicken is too crispy and chruncy.
Recommended for family and friends dining.
But handwashing place is not much clean.
So crowded !!! Waited for 15 mts to get a table. But worthy.
Taste really didn't disappoint me. There is a display at the entrance for Sea food. Where they kept the real fishes, you can choose your favorite fish out of them.
Quantity and quality is too good.
Yummy!!!!!!! 😋😋😋😋 The taste was soooo good.... We ordered sankara(red snapper) fish the fish was fresh and the food is served in banana leaf..... Which is the tradition of South india. About the rate well okae....
I visited this place after 2003 and it was good to see that it was still maintained decently. Authentic chettinad cuisine and quick service. Have ample parking space and a decent ambience. Restaurant doesn't serve alcohol. Food is good. Overall a good place for family and friends.
Very nice restaurant, defference experience, life fish is displayed here, which one u need they will prepare it on the spot.
Good taste, quality is also good. Ambiance is nice.
Really love the first fry 😘😋
We went here first time with my family services was good and such a awesome food. We ate Biriyani and prawn fry here taste was awesome.
