Hari Mess — Restaurant in Tamil Nadu

We recently dined at a local eatery and were thoroughly impressed by the food. The spread we enjoyed included chicken biriyani, mutton chops, rice with egg and fish, chicken curry, and mutton curry—each dish was a masterpiece in its own right.

The chicken biriyani was fragrant and flavorful, with perfectly cooked rice and tender chicken. The mutton chops were a highlight, juicy and spiced to perfection, leaving us craving more. The combination of rice with egg and fish brought a comforting, home-cooked vibe, blending subtle yet satisfying flavors.

The chicken curry was rich and savory, while the mutton curry stood out with its robust spices and melt-in-your-mouth meat.

Overall, every dish was an explosion of taste, showcasing the chef's skill and the quality of ingredients used. If you're a food lover, this place is a must-visit for a hearty and satisfying meal. Highly...

I visited this place as suggested by my friend Vinu who is an ardent food freak. And the visit was worth it. Hari Mess has a legacy of 70 years in kottagiri. Currently run by the second generation. Mutton fry , mutton liver fry are outstanding. Chicken fry is also good. Meals and fish fry is also available during lunch time. For dinner chappathi , kerala porotta is also available along with rice items . Kerala porotta goes well with mutton fry. Try to reach the restaurant early . Reach atleast by 12.30 pm for lunch. There are only 8 tables in the mess and could serve only 32 people at a time. This is a value for money eatery. The serving is done by the owners of the mess and they are very customer friendly. I strongly recommend this place . Suggested combo is Plain biriyani with mutton fry and...

Restaurant style - south indian non-veg Price - Cheap for the quality and quantity Taste - authentic, and the best around here( we had mutton fry, 2 varieties of fish fry, plain biriyani, kerala parota) Ambience - it's a small restaurant(mess), but very clean with very friendly owner/waiter

There's only 2 guys running this place, they're probably the owners(from Kerala). They've maintained this place very clean. The food served to us felt very freshly made, not like something that was prepared long time ago and served. Please note that this is a small place that can hold upto 20 people at the max.

This is not just a must try place, I'd say if you eat from here, you'll go back here everytime you visit...
