Amma Mess is located in Karol Bagh. They serve Veg and Non Veg South Indian food. You will find various types of Dosa, Idli, Vada, Biryani etc on their menu. If you like the traditional South Indian taste then this is the plac for you!!

I ordered a Mutton Biryani and a Chicken 65. The food was delivered hot on time. Not cutlery or tissue paper came with the order. Packaging could have been better, they could packed the food in containers.

Mutton Biryani was toothsome. It had the traditional taste. There were 3-4 medium sized mutton pieces. It was perfectly spiced. Gravy and Raita came with the order.

Chicken 65 was good but was extremely salty.

A very small shop in Karol Bagh which offers you the authenticity of Tamil Nadu taste. I had Chicken Biryani and Chicken 65 there. The taste is awesome and rates are quite low. The only problem is the seating space as they don't have much area for sitting.
Rates are quite nominal and it's worth a visit.

It is very easy to miss this shop, although located on the main road, it is surrounded by car repair shops so keep a close eye for it.

There is only one table on the ground floor so i decided to sit on the 1st floor, on the upper level, there are around 5 tables to sit but the seating is very very congested, luckily for me, i was the only one there at that time. Service was very quick.

I ordered a chicken biryani and that is when the magic started. The biryani was truly amazing with authentic flavour, the portion size was huge, there was a small bowl of gravy with it and a boiled egg and salad to go with it. The taste of biryani was superb, wether you have it with the gravy or without it. It reminded me of all the amazing biryani i had when i went to madurai.

I will come here again to try other things too and i highly recommend this place.

Also the biryani cost just Rs.140

A rare non veg south Indian chettinad mess in delhi. Ambiance doesn't exist, may feel repulsive. Ordered a chicken biriyani and chicken 65. The biriyani was perfect with the chettinad touch. The 65 was good too. The rating is purely for the taste.

Best mutton biryani in Delhi i ever had... Those who are obsessed with muradabadi biryani.Try for mutton biryani as chicken biryani is less flavourful.
My suggestion
Visit after 12:30 in the afternoon as they prepare biryani around this time only.
In the evening after 4pm you will only get chicken biryani .They might prepare mutton biryani around 7pm in the evening(not sure about it)
They have sitting area upstairs also where you will get privacy.

Great food, Horrible Ambience. Must visit. Do NOT even try to sit. Stand outside or eat in your car. Kottu Parotta  and Chicken 65 is a must-try. Followed by Parotta and Mutton Fry.

Forget the reviews. Go and experience for yourself. Veggies can avoid and stick to the bland fare at Saravana Bhawan.

Food: 4.5
Staff and Service: 4.5
Ambience and Character: 3 (less space for seating)
Value for Money: 4.5 (Mutton Biryani ₹150, 1plate Parantha Guruma ₹50, Chicken65 ₹90)

My favourite: Mutton Biryani, Parantha Guruma, Chicken 65 and i love its special Sweet Sauf.

If you are looking for a traditional Tamilian (Non-Veg) restaurant then Amma Mess in Karol Bagh is for you. Amma Mess is 1 of the best traditional tamilian (non-veg) restaurant in NCR. Tamilian people come from Jaipur, Gurgaon, Noida and other parts of Delhi to eat the traditional tamilian Non-veg food.
I ordered 1 plate Parantha Guruma (contains 2 parantha with guruma), 1 Mutton Biryani, Chicken 65 and a water bottle.
Parantha Guruma is basically parantha churchur type (made of maida) along with Guruma (chicken curry). Parantha Guruma was very tasty, i love to eat Parantha with hot Guruma, Coconut chutney and Tomato chutney. Mutton Biryani is a bit different from north Indian biryani, it contains small size rice (not like Basmati rice of north India) wrapped in Mutton gravy along with small mutton pieces and a boiled egg. Initially if tastes different as i am a north Indian but later you feel the taste of it and enjoy eating it. Good Mutton pieces in biryani.
Chicken65 is something like tandoori chicken but it contains small boneless pieces of chicken along with small onion pieces and white chutney.
In last at cash counter i got sweet Sauf which i love to eat as i used to eat it during my childhood days.

Positioned nondescript on the gurudwara road is"Amma Mess" HALAL, written boldly across the signage. I walk towards the counter and gesture the waiters to show me what's cooking and the order for the day. From Biryani to Chicken 65 to IDli Sambar and Dosa...
I tried a spoon full of biryani and was overwhelmed; a typical Ambur-style biryani. Authentic flavors just bombarded within and i was bowled over. I have fallen in love with this place's food and recommend food fanatics to try out. Do not try if you are one of the snobbish kinds frowning at street side joints. Bon Apetite'!

The place is too crowded and congested. Apart from this if you want to taste the chettinadu style biryani this is the perfect place, the chicken and mutton biryani costs ₹140 and ₹150 respectively and serves the value for money.

PERFECT COMBO OF QUANTITY, QUALITY AND AFFORDABILITY.
This is one of those places which is really small but really good food. I've ordered Chicken Biryani, Chicken 65, Parotha , Kuththu Parotha also Chicken Dosa all of which is amazing.They serve it with chutney (white and red) and Korma which are absolutely savoury.
One of my personal recommendations in Delhi especially for students who are out from homes and want to satisfy their taste buds + quality+ quantity and ofcourse affordability.

This review is exclusively for the biriyani of Amma mess. The biriyani I should say is even better than some of the restaurants that serve biriyani back in the south. I had the mutton biriyani which is full of flavour... the meat so soft and the rice cooked to perfection. It's served with a chicken gravy (Salan) which is absolutely delicious!
We also tried the chicken 65 and mutton chukka.
Chicken 65 - tasted great but the quantity is just too small for the price.
Mutton chukka - a few pieces of the meat were stale and dint taste that good and not to mention the quantity is pathetic.
But all these downfalls are compensated by the fabulous biriyani that this place serves. A must try if u want to have some good South Indian biriyani!

A must for Tamil people

Food: 2.75/3
The chicken biryani and chicken fry is a must try at this place.The chicken biryani has a distinct Tamil flavour and is served with raita and salan.The chicken fry is spicy and well cooked.
Value for money: 1/1
All the dishes are affordable and a full meal for one might cost just about 200rs.So students rejoice !
Ambience and service: 0.25/1
This is where the restaurant suffers.Though managed ingeniously,the place is little old and run down and the service is okay.

The seating space is very small so I decided to take away. Tried chicken biryani which was good. It was the dum version. Comes for Rs.120 with raita, salan. It seems they cook plain biryani and add chicken, mutton separately as and when an order comes. The chicken pieces were fine but I guess they were cooked for some gravy dish so had a different flavor. Overall a decent place at a reasonable price.

Some Tamil delicacies in the busy populated business driven locality of our capital in North India ! . Yes there may be many and this is not far behind. One of my Tamil friend brought me here and oh I really loved this food.

Ambience: Its a small probably one storied restaurant but they have meticulously managed to make a 2 storied space within that. One needs to slightly duck and climb those stairs to their first floor where about 5 tables are in place. Place is a lil crampy but yeah remember I was here for food ... I mean i was promised real good food.

Staff: Really such small restaurants have really efficient staff. The way they manage the orders ... amazes me ! 

Food: You order anything from the menu at any point of your meal... they serve it for you... in minutes. We started off with usual biryani.. then addons like chicken fry... and then omlets and on and on... till our tummy could not take it ! .. The taste makes sure you never forget this place... for years together.

Price: After all that thing bill was relatively low.....compared to one person's food cost in Bangalore these days ! Prices are competitive.

Next time in Delhi... I would definitely try re-visit this place. Recommended !

This is a pure diamond restaurant, you just need to give it a try. Chicken biriyani cooked in andhra style was so yummy that I ended up coming back again for it many times. Its very pocket friendly.

The first time I entered this place, I thought where have I been brought to? The small 4 tables in a tiny space. But the moment I took the first bite of the kuttu parotha, my brain went blank. I regained my senses after finishing 3 parothas, 1 biryani and 5 fish fry. The taste is just heavenly. Great experience. Service could have been better but the taste covers it up.

I'm just returning home from the eatery. Still the taste of the salna is in my mouth. Been there with a friend. Had a chicken biriyani, parotta, fish fry and kalakki. Our mouths started to water on the sight of biriyani. It had an excellent south indian flavor to it. Parotta was good. Fish fry.. ah! Can't explain it in words. Kalakki was like an equivalent to a choco lava cake. One problem is that the space is tiny. Also, cleanliness should be taken care of. Rates are reasonable. If you're concerned about hygiene, you could order a take away and savour the food at your home.

Wow ! chota restaurant with a place for 16 in the top floor and 4  near the cooking place. A congested place but serves an authentic tamilnadu chettinad food. 

Parotta - crispy and yummy,
Egg Dosa - another luscious dish
Egg + Chicken - kothu parotta - wwwooww to smell it a mouth watering dish. 
One side omlet - a must try
egg burji, Egg Kalaki (south indian signature dishes)
Chilli chicken 65 - try try .,!!
Chicken biriyani - do try out. 
Meals - authentic south type
Breakfast - idly, vada, dosa, egg varieties, chutney and sambar.
Best timing to get a comfortable seat instead of waiting is 7 pm especially during weekends, one must go early to find a place to sit. 

A feel bad factor is the location which gives an eyebrow rise, conveys a message of not so good place as of ambiance, to sit and eat. so for these people please get a parceled food. 
For those who wanna try out local kinda street food ambiance can stand and eat or sit inside and start your eating process. 
Only the place looks so, but health wise one can be confident enough to taste the entire lot.

Above Rs. 500 order will get home delivered between 8-8.30 pm.
Rs. 300 or less order will get it home delivered by 10 pm.
SO chose your order wisely ;)

A perfect fit for southindian.
overall 4/5.

The place is small shop, has a small seating area. It is a place from where you should pick up food and eat at home. Food is something which does not disappoint at all here. I have tried their chciken biryani, chicken chettinad and chciken curry and have found them to be quite deliciously appetising and VFM.

Even though the place is quite small and dingy the food more than compensates for that. It is absolutely traditional Tamil Non-vegetarian foods.... but if you don't have a flare for tamilian food then avoid it. especially the biryani (mutton) is a must try. Lip smacking and light.

Chicken65 is a boneless roasted chiccken pieces wrapped with onion pieces and masala. It was awesome in taste. Parantha Guruma was as usual tasty consisting of chicken gravy and Parantha. Chicen Biryani was a bit spicy with small sized rice served with raita, 1 boiled egg and guruma.
