Central Biriyani Chennai worth the trip in 2026?

Central Biriyani · #nagar #biriyani #chennai

Staying near T Nagar next month and Central Biriyani keeps coming up. Is it actually worth the hype or should I look elsewhere for proper biriyani in Chennai in 2026?

went last year & the mutton biriyani at their triplicane spot was solid but the queue at peak lunch is no joke, go before noon

susannaber… · 10h

yeah the pre noon thing is real, we queued about 40 mins around 1pm and half the crowd was already grumbling. if u can swing a weekday morning it's a different experience entirely. mutton sells out first so don't roll in late expecting it

weekday 11am still gets a line, just a short one

the 40 min wait tracks but the chicken there is a step down so if goat's gone just walk, plenty of spots off Burkit Road do a decent plate

Mutton's gone by 12:30 most days.

Triplicane runs out by 12:30, so before noon is cutting it close.

Only caveat is the chicken is a step down from the goat, so order accordingly if u go.

solid call on the timing. their spot near the high court gets packed with office crowd right after 12 so the pre noon window is tight, like 11:30 not 11:59. goat's the move, chicken's fine but not why u go

I've only eaten there once, on a trip a couple of years back, so take this with a pinch of salt. It's good but I wouldn't build a whole evening around it. Since you're in T Nagar, the biriyani places around there will do you fine for a no-fuss meal. Central is more of a name than a revelation, honestly.

christel · 9h · -4

Fair take but "name over revelation" undersells it a bit, the dum cooking is genuinely different from most spots. Just don't treat it like a pilgrimage, grab it if you're nearby and skip the detour otherwise.

stayed near there in 2024, the lodges around Modern Central do unofficially quote foreigners a bit higher, maybe 800 to 1200 rupees for a basic non AC room vs 500 to 700 for locals. fwiw the rates are usually negotiable if u pay cash upfront and skip the ones right on the main road.
