Subbu Mess – Once a Legend, Now Just Living on the Hype
Tried the RS Puram branch recently with a lot of excitement, especially for their famous Vanjiram fry, Mutton Sukka, and Biryani – but honestly, it felt like the glory days are long gone. The ambiance was decent, nothing fancy. But the seating was chaotic thanks to a senior staff member who seemed more interested in impressing the management than managing customers. Food came in random order and quite late too. Biryani: Just okay, definitely not worth the hype. Vanjiram fry: Big letdown – tasted like it took a wrong turn on the pan. Mutton Sukka: Disappointing – more fat and random bits than actual meat. Liver fry: So hard, we almost needed dental insurance. Chicken 65: Surprisingly good! Juicy and flavorful – one of the few wins. Egg noodles (my niece’s order): Tasty and well-done.
We even paid ₹130 for a veg meal and didn’t get appalam, let alone payasam. That’s just basic expectations not being met.
In short – if you’re starving and it’s the only option...
Read moreHi.. On the 1 st of April, rather late evening around 11pm with a friend for dinner I went to Subbu Mess* in D B Road, R S Puram.. We got roti and panneer masala and also veg. fried rice and maaza soft drink.. Service was a bit delayed, warm water had to be reminded twice and served after food , something unusual in our culture..! 🤔 Parking for two Wheeler was available way inside itself.. 👍 As most of the hotels/restaurants was closed by 11pm and we were happy to get served food on tables in Subbu Mess* is something timely and nice.. Also a family had come even after we sat and they were happy too.. Being an odd hour and to get both roti and dosa and fried rice was really appreciable.. 👍😊 Well, rates were quite nominal and affordable to a middle class and even below I guess.. Pretty big hall with typical city side hotels and hand wash were simple and reasonably tidy.. Warm cheers.....
Read moreAfter long time went to hotel for lunch. This shop was in my list for very long time and visited today. Ordered the mutton biryani, nattu koli biryani but mutton briyani was over.then ordered the chicken briyani and nattu koli briyani. Briyani was ok taste wise. Ordered the chicken pallipalayam and kada roast. One must try the pallipalayam chicken. Chicken was juicy and tasty. One of the best item in the coimbatore. Finally taken the lemon soda. Overall,ok place and difficult find the bike parking and not possible for car Parking. NFC accepted. But server was demanding the tips. This is the worst part because we got service from others person and other guy was demanding the 10% of bill. Totally disappointed and no one was ready to listen...
