Junior Kuppanna - Neelankarai — Restaurant in Tamil Nadu

Ah, Junior Kuppanna, the place where culinary dreams go to die. My recent escapades to this eatery have been nothing short of a gastronomic comedy of errors, and I can't help but share this amusing saga.

My first encounter with Junior Kuppanna was at their ECR branch, where everything seemed promising, until I made the grave mistake of trying their "Goli Soda." Folks, let me tell you, that seemingly innocent bottle of fizz was nothing short of a diabolical concoction, turning my digestive system into a battleground for chaos. It left me questioning life choices and swearing off all things fizzy.

Round two brought me to their Velachery outpost, where I had the distinct privilege of encountering the enigmatic "Pichipotta Nattu Kozhi." Now, this dish was an olfactory adventure like no other. The smell was so off-putting that even my nose recoiled in horror. They promptly took it back, but my taste buds had already suffered irreparable damage. The biriyani, crafted from the mysterious "Jerraga Samba," left me pondering the mysteries of life, with its funny taste that was anything but palatable. And oh, the "Pichi Potta" paneer - it looked and tasted suspiciously like regular masala paneer, with a fancy name that fooled no one.

Now, let's talk about their parotta – flaky and decent, but the only redeeming feature in this culinary circus. It was the perfect sidekick to the tragic "Pichipotta Nattu Kozhi." Speaking of which, let's address this chicken conundrum. They call it "Pichipotta Nattu Kozhi," but it's more likely a cunning blend of various chicken varieties. Only a poultry detective with a discerning palate could uncover this culinary riddle.

In my third attempt at this gastronomic roulette, I ordered parotta once more, which proved to be soft and delightful. But alas, even though there was no obvious staleness in the chicken, I could sense its deceitful nature. By the time I reached home, my stomach had started plotting a rebellion, and by evening, I was hosting a feverish under-tummy party. Oh, what a wild night it was, thanks to Junior Kuppanna!

In conclusion, Junior Kuppanna's culinary escapades are not for the faint of heart. If you possess a stomach of steel and a nose of iron, perhaps you'll find their offerings amusingly adventurous. But for me, after this trilogy of tasteless tribulations, I've decided to bid adieu to this gastronomic circus once and for all. Bon appétit, my brave culinary explorers, but beware the pitfalls of...

Had to share a negative review .....we had lunch at this place on 20th FEB...around 1:45 pm.... Everything that can go wrong has happened today.....

1. The hotel does not have a table for 6 people ..All tables are 4 seaters. We were a family of 5 which includes 2 kids. They dont have baby Chair...and they are serving food only in banana leaf....which means you cannot spread 5 banana leafs in a table meant for 4.....one person banana leafs were overlapped with next one...... it's like eating from next persons banana leaf ....
2. The server is the person who takes the order, he forgot the order twice....gave somebody else's food to us..... They still did not do table number mapping and kot process ....
3. The menu had limited options for vegetarian, our family had a mix of both... normally we order vegetable biriyani when we go to such places....but this place did not have that on the menu....
4. we had a extremely long waiting time for each food ... Biriyani came first but meals did not come for 30 mins.... After chasing 3 to 4 people one person brought gravy and side dish...no one provided rice..... It's like eating in a marriage hall, unless we shout and chase people, we don't get any food
5. Quality of food wise, except curd rice we have no complaints on other foods. The curd rice was in a porridge consistency, could not even take it using hands...you can rather drink in a glass...
6. The order in which the food was delivered is totally wrong....they served main course first and brought side dish after 30 mins....it happened to us and two other tables next to us..... They lack the basic common sense of bringing items together...
7. We waited for 20 mins for bill, finally went to the billing counter and stood there...and it took another 15 mins for billing to happen....... This is a fairly new restaurant which needs lot of work on the basics... Unfortunately this is our first and last visit to...

ALERT!!!!! Very worst experience ever. We recently visited junior kuppanna's outlet in Neelankarai branch on 3/2/2024 for dinner. Starting from service till the end its a totally disappointing and worst experience there. We firstly ordered Erode kal dosai which tastes veryyy sweet as a dessert, we reported the same to the server but he confessed that the authenticity of Erode style dosai itself will taste sweet. Bt the chicken kari dosai's batter also tastes sweet, when we clarified the same with the server he didn't respond anything. The Kongu chicken gravy we ordered for dosai came after 30 mins of serving the dosa, at that time we almost finished eating dosa's. We have requested to cancel it but he didn't. The coconut flavour in the gravy was very dominating and it spoiled the entire taste of the food. We can feel that taste in almost every gravy they served. The gravy costs Rs. 310 but not even a penny worth it, we can see only very few small chicken pieces. In the chicken lollypop, we got only 3 pieces which cost Rs. 260. We informed everything to the manager, he told us that they use only coconut milk, but we are very sure that this is not the tastes of Kongu chicken gravy, because we had already tasted the same in other outlets of Junior Kuppanna where it tastes really good with no dominating flavour of coconut. Also he told us that every batters and masalas are readymade, as they are commonly prepared in the cloud kitchen and served to every outlets of Junior Kuppanna, we doubt how come the gravy alone will be prepared live in the restaurant? On the whole, the quality of the food, taste, employees behaviour and response was very poor and the bill amount of 1,124 we paid was totally waste and it is not even a rupee worth to have a food here. We had already visited many outlets of Junior Kuppanna, but comparatively this is the worst and we highly recommend to not...
