One of the best places for food in Chennai. Serving Chennaites for more than 50 years is not a joke and these guys maintaining quality for long as far as I know. Service during peak is let down, but not a concern though.

One of the Best Multicuisine Restaurants in Chennai.... Mouth watering, Lip smacking food, they are best in Quality & Quantity ...... Ordered Chicken Ceylon parotta , Chicken Fried rice and Chicken Biryani from this restaurant ,,,,, Ceylon parotta was really worth....... filled up with minced Chicken , soft and tender........ Fried rice was the best .... I ever had in chennai........ Chicken biryani was good too......  Royal Falooda was Simply the  Best ........ It could have been a bit spicy ...... Hope the management looks into it for upgrading the Biryani ..... In short totally VFM ....... would be back soon for relishing their lip smacking food one more time .........  :-)

I ordered parathas, dhal Makani and green peas masala for home delivery.

No complaints about taste, quantity and quality.
Appropriately charged for the quality and taste.

On my Birthday it's Sunday n without any plan we jus went for a drive ..and while searching for a nice Brunch buffet in Google we heard waffle House in adyar serves good brunch(since i love waffles thought of going thete but its bit late).though its sunday some restos(Rain forest adyar zaitoon, ab) said its full.booking closed
..Roaming here n there in adyar Finally we reached Teynampet(?!!!). Suddenly we Google it for buffet near us it shows Mainland China and Samco .. we choose Samco coz we had a horrible Experience in Mainland China (plz chk my 0 star review for Mainland China Teynampet.. pathetic service and tastes like defrosted food stuffs)
As soon as we saw this resto.
we thought its gonna be average taste..
they said buffet on table and he gave me a menu..most of the Attenders n waiters r from Kerala.. (surprisingly very polite and too good ) we took our 9months old baby.. she was quite naughty but none of them showed their face .. instead they played with her and also they gave her veggies n fruits in a plate she was playing with those.. Kudos to the attenders and waiters..
after viewing the Menu (chk my photos i have attached it) we thought its very less and simple ...(we thought it wil be like coal BBQ or AB. lol )
but Attender said everything is Unlimited..u can have it as many times u wish !
They started with a welcome drink Mojito.. tastes ok
Starters:
Here comes the surprise..
BBQ chicken... Extremely good.. juicy tender succulent... mouth watering.. and i order it again(since im a very big BBQ lover) it was great ( better than zaitoon)..

they brought BBQ mushroom and it was too the core ..too good.
Gobi Manchurian dry was to die for.. we never tasted like it... top class. Hats off to the chef.( i had bad experience in mainland China Teynampet it stinks like they used some old oil)

Main course:
we were almost full. . though mutton kothu parota seems catchy so we ordered for it
it was soo spongy and lots of mutton piece's wete there and taste soo nice..
we said no nonto biryani and roti ..
Desserts:
brownie with ice cream after all these tasty food .we don't need much in desserts. but melting brownie was Awesome with ice-cream.
Happily 😄we Finished our lunch.. it was a pleasant experience with SAMCO teynampet..
We were totally courteously caretaken by a guy i think Mr. Kannadasan (😄👍) ..he deserves 👏 👏..👍

Being a foodie, I have been very prompt in trying out new places during my chennai days, but somehow missed trying this popular restaurant. Caught up with cousins after a long time and we headed out to dinner quite late, around 10.15pm. The options were limited as many restaurants were closing pretty soon, so they suggested Samco which will be open till 12.

This place had already earned my cousins’ highest praise, which raised my expectations. I didn’t scout the menu for long, as I simply relied on my cousins for recommendations.

We ordered BBQ fish and crispy chicken lollipops as starters. The chicken arrived pretty soon and that really set the tone for the dinner. It was delicious! It tasted even better with the mayonnaise. While I was indulging in the taste, the fish arrived.

I don’t eat any meat except chicken but my friends and family have been insisting that I should try fish. I have tried fish a few times before but the smell of the fish had put me off on earlier occasions. Due to this experience, I was a bit sceptical about trying fish but I went for it. That was probably the best decision of the day! It tasted great with absolutely no smell...

Coming to the main course, we had ordered a hyderabadi chicken biriyani, semiya chicken biriyani, mughal chicken biriyani and mughal mutton biriyani. To compliment the biriyanis, we had ordered a pepper chicken gravy. All the biriyanis were of top quality and taste. My favourite among them was the hyderabad biriyani which was spicy and flavourful.

The semiya biriyani was quite a surprise as I had no idea how can a semiya go well with chicken but it was actually very good and unique!

The sweet lime soda was absolutely brilliant as well. We had no room for desserts, but I decided to come back here again to try out their other dishes.

Good service and awesome food. There are a lot of non veg varieties to try on. And can accommodate about 80-100 people. Have parking space for almost 4 cars and lots of two wheelers. Had an awesome day at Samco.

Had one unexpected great lunch here😁.There was a valet parking service which spared us the usual parking woes,that too on a rainy day.

We ordered a veg clear soup,Samco fried chicken,a kadai vegetable curry,a Malabar chicken curry and some idiyappams.

I have no complaints on the dishes served.Every single plate and bowl had lip smacking food with sufficient quantity. The Malabar chicken curry+Idiyappam combo was my fav😋. The fried chicken served along with Mayo and a salad tasted finger licking good with a crispy crust and extremely soft interiors.Loved it!!

The most impressive part for me was the service.Right from the time we entered to the time we left,all our needs were very intently catered to. All the waiters there were extremely courteous and attentive and are to be specially appreciated. 😁👏. Would most definitely frequent this place for sure!!😊

Right at the junction of TTK road and Eldam's, they are on a busy corner. Parking might have been a pain in the ass but thankfully, they have valet parking. The food is definitely good, their BBQs and grills deserve special mention. A place to go to for a quick, non-fussy meal.

Atmosphere good just that painting work was going on so workers walking in an out was uncomfortable... Felt dust in the air . Food I really really enjoyed. I tried the chicken cylon paratha... Which was so fluffy n good . Wish had tasted chicken more . Chicken Semiya / idiyappam biryani...so light and tasty. Bill value 530/- approximately Will definitely visit again. Been to another branch too Anna nagar enjoyed appam n chicken curry there

The food is very average. Maybe because of the lunch crowd ( too many orders can overwhelm the kitchen) or if it’s just standard like this. The bbq chicken was oily , the mandi rice was pulao with a chicken piece on top. Didn’t enjoy both. But the staff are very polite and kind. So that’s a big brownie point.

My all time favorite restraunt in Chennai. I just can't describe how much I love this place and how many times I've been here. I always order chicken biriyani, Alfaham Dijaj and Arabian Grapes Pulp Juice and nothing fails to delight us. We recently tried Malabar chicken biriyani and it was awesome too. The quality has never gone down. This review is exclusively for the teynampet branch. Though I live at Velachery I've not visited their branch near Phoenix. I always visit the one near SIET.

First of all it's HALAL Now come to the point. I have been in many restaurants, But SAMCO is something special to me. Such a great ambience, humble servers, delicious food, especially Biriyani which had was (Vera level), Good place for Family and couples, and one more thing they are going to arrange a candle light dinner for Valentine's day, so enjoy your meal with everyone. Finally (price is Not that much high, it's reasonable).

Location is very near to Teynampet metro. Parking space is available. Unfortunately their special Mutton Samosa and Dynamic Shrimp were not available. Ordered Kizhi Parota and it was superb. Paya was too strong for my taste buds. Chicken dum biriyani was okiesh. Staffs are very polite and helpful. Would like to explore this restaurant again.
