Nilgiri Express — Restaurant in Tamil Nadu

Waiter Supriya. Chef Bikram Sourav We started with some crispy samosas and paneer tikka, both bursting with flavor. The paneer was perfectly grilled—soft on the inside with a smoky char outside. For mains, the butter chicken was rich, creamy, and indulgent, pairing beautifully with fluffy garlic naan and fragrant jeera rice.

We also tried the vegetable biryani, which was surprisingly bold in flavor with each grain of rice cooked just right—neither too oily nor dry. The accompanying raita and pickle added the perfect cooling contrast.

Service was warm and attentive, with the staff happy to explain dishes and suggest spice levels. The ambiance struck a balance between cozy and elegant, with soft lighting and subtle music that didn’t overpower conversation.
