Covai ANGANAN Biriyani House — Restaurant in Central Zone

Tried out Covai Anganan at Lakshmi Mills for their much-talked-about Kongu-style biriyani, and honestly, I had mixed feelings. The ambience was neat and minimal, and the staff were courteous. But the overall experience didn’t completely match the hype.

I ordered mutton biriyani, mutton chukka, and tender coconut pudding. The biriyani had that signature wet and mildly spiced Kongu-style flavour, more on the subtle side with hints of ghee and garlic. While it’s definitely different from regular Tamil or Hyderabad-style biriyanis, I found the quantity to be quite small, especially considering the high pricing. Not really filling, and the meat portions were minimal with more bones than flesh.

The mutton chukka was the highlight of the meal. It was well-cooked and packed with deep, spicy flavour. The texture was great—crispy edges and tender meat inside. I wish the biriyani had the same intensity.

To end on a sweet note, I tried their tender coconut pudding, which was actually quite good. It had a soft, creamy texture with a refreshing natural coconut taste—not too sweet, just right. It felt like the perfect finish to a heavy meal.

Overall, it’s a nice place if you want to try authentic Kongunadu-style non-veg in a more polished setup. But I personally felt the pricing was on the higher side for the portion sizes offered. Good food, but not completely value for money.

Good for a one-time try if you're curious about Kongu cuisine—but keep your expectations in check, especially on...

Divine is one word I would rate about the Briyani here as well as the brand and the place too. It was too A centric with the typical kongu taste which was existing forever years. ™️🤙🥗🧆

This place has never disappointed us on taste. I was very happy to see this new branch located at Lakshmi mills. 🍵☝️

I remember Earlier days how we craved for angannan Briyani at VARIETY HALL road. The same taste and same quality with very much improved interiors competing to the recent market. 🪜✌️

Out and out the Briyani was the best of kongu Briyani. Authentic!!! 🔥❤️❤️❤️

The brain fry and chukka was too good and definitely not be missed. Was so lucky even at 8pm we got the brain fry and it was so fresh.

The place was much a plus located inside tristar towers . Good parking space and restrooms allocated are the ones used for swimming pool tri star community member residents. But maintained very neatly and sparkling clean.

Again and again , many a times now addicted to this place. And for sure we are very delighted and very happy our own and pride ANGANNAN Briyani has grown this much and competing to the standards and giants in this business.

For the taste , for the love, for the richness , for the Briyani……

Definitely ,...

Covai Anganan Briyani House is a must-visit spot for anyone craving authentic South Indian non-veg delights, especially biryani. From the moment you step in, the aroma of spices sets the mood for a satisfying meal. The food here is nothing short of awesome — the biryani is rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked with tender pieces of meat that melt in your mouth.

What truly elevates the experience is the range of side dishes they serve. Every single side — be it the chicken gravy, mutton curry, or the spicy omelette — complements the main course beautifully. Their portion sizes are generous, and the flavors are bold, yet balanced. The use of traditional South Indian spices and preparation methods really shines through in every bite.

The service is quick and polite, and though the ambiance is simple and no-frills, the food more than makes up for it. This is the kind of place where you come purely for the taste and leave fully satisfied.

If you’re in the mood for South Indian biryani with unbeatable sides, Covai Anganan Briyani House should definitely be on your list. Highly recommended for biryani lovers and meat...
