It was an unplanned visit to this outlet of Junior Kuppanna for lunch. I reached here at 3 but the place was almost packed even though it was a weekday. This is my first visit to Junior Kuppanna as I have been hearing about this restaurant for a while so finally, I decided to check out this restaurant even though it was unplanned. The restaurant is located on the ground floor of Metro Inn hotel.
╫ Menu:
Menu accentuates mainly on Tamil cuisine. I couldn't go through their menu cards. Chicken biriyani is available in (1) Half for 110 (2) Full for 190. Apart from their normal biriyani, I have seen a special type of Natti style biriyani but I don't remember the exact name. They have also incorporated a handful of dishes under Mutton, Chicken section.
╫ Ambiance:
The place was almost packed and it was bit clamorous with people moving around, falling of utensils in the kitchen and the vehicles plying outside. The placed looked fine for dining and its not that much immaculate. It looked like an ordinary restaurant.
╫ Service:
The service was good. The staff was attentive and brought the dishes to my table without much delay. A lady staff will be there once you reach the entrance. She will help you to grab a table based on the no: of people who are with you.
╫ Food :
I ordered their Chicken biriyani and chicken lollypop. Their chicken biriyani is a typical Tamil Nadu style biriyani. The chicken pieces were all well cooked and tendered. The biriyani is available in both half and full. The rate for the half is 110 whereas for the full is 190.i opted for full chicken biriyani and it contained 2 small-medium pieces of chicken. The biriyani looked yellow in color and it was embellished with cashew nuts as well. I liked the taste. It wasn't spicy. It will completely depend on your liking towards Tamil Nadu cuisine, after all, it's one's personal choice. The biriyani was served on a plantain leaf as they don't serve the dishes on a plate.
But the quantity of the biriyani was highly disappointing. The quantity of the biriyani rice was very less and it is not at all worth for 190. The rate of biriyani is really exorbitant. The accompaniments served along with the biriyani were (1) raita (2) a bowl of gravy and (3) a bowl boiled egg curry. The rate for chicken lollypop was 210 and one plate contained 5-6 small pieces of chicken. The taste was good but the quantity of the chicken pieces was not worth that amount.
Altogether the total bill came around was RS 420. But I felt it was not worth the amount I paid as it couldn't satisfy my hunger ..
The biriyani was served in a small rectangle steel plate and the quantity was less. They are even providing half biriyani for Rs 110 and now I can imagine how the quantity is going to be.
Coming to the taste wise it was fine to me and I liked it.
╫ Payment:
Card payment is also accepted I guess.
Overall it's a good option in Coimbatore for those who wish to indulge in Tamil Nadu...

Read moreTo start with, I actually love the biriyani here. So my family and I decided to have lunch at the Ramnagar branch. We were there at 2:30pm which is actually not very late because they serve till 4pm. As soon as entering, we were seated and ordered right away as we had planned to get nonveg meals and mutton biriyani earlier. The waiter told me that the mutton biriyani was over, so we ordered chicken biryani. After waiting for a while, we got the side dishes for biriyani. The waiter came in and told that all biriyani is over as they had a big order for parcel. One would know how we would have felt at that time. We were hungry so we ordered the only items available (parotta, kothu parotta, veechu parotta) all maida and served late. The waiter knowing that we were angry, did not come at all and a server who was young and had nothing to do with the whole ordeal served us and took orders and the check. The manager was nowhere to be found too. When the bill arrived, they had added the chicken biriyani that we never ate. We asked them to change the bill. They left the tax as such and deducted only the price of the biriyani. Then we asked for a change of bill which took forever. We then asked for somebody to complaint for which the cashier replied that she can take the complaint. We complained and there was not a single reply. Just nods and yes-es. I checked swiggy to see whether I am able to order biriyani from the same place. Guess what! Swiggy knew it before us! The swiggy orders were changed from chicken biriyani to egg fried rice which made me feel bad for the customer as well. So much for the people who actually take time to go there to have food. All their hospitality is just a facade and it is total...
