Velidis — Restaurant in Tamil Nadu

I’m sharing this review after multiple visits to this outlet over the years. Not sure why I didn’t write a review till now and I think it’s high time for it. Let me start with my personal addictions. The special boneless chicken biriyani, Gongura chicken, Guntur prawns and chicken Karam kodi. The biriyani will definitely be a game changer and is not the name sake biriyani you get in the other so called big chains, trust me. No andhra biriyani comes near Velidis when it comes to taste and flavour. The biriyani rice is aromatic with the right balance of spices and is topped up with a boneless gravy which blends with the rice and tickles your taste buds in the right spot. Gongura chicken will definitely be a hit for people who love a little kick of sourness in addition to spice in their food and it goes very well with breads and you know what once you start eating it you can never stop. The Guntur prawns is definitely drool worthy and this will definitely be the freshest prawn anybody has ever tasted in their life. I’ve heard that they source their sea food and meat from the best of the best and that again with the right cooking techniques is just a bomb on your plate which explodes with taste and flavours. I can keep talking about each every dish because this place has never let down my hunger packs even once and I’m sure it will for anyone who visits. Had a chance to meet the owners as well and had a quick chit chat and they are one of the nicest and down to earth people you will ever come across. Velidis has always been and will always be very close to my heart for a simple reason “The way to heart is...

Velidis - Well it is 😂

My friend and colleague celebrated his birthday on 2018 New Year's Eve and he tooks us there for a treat since we were all interested in having spicy Briyani on a Sunday afternoon!

It was my first visit but not for them obviously as they poured me with some good suggestions about the dishes they offer.

We settled ourselves with Chicken Lollipop, Chicken, Mutton and a Prwans Biryani.

Velidis is a Hydrebrad Cusine and ofcourse it was spicy & delightful taste. Quality was acceptable but the quantity seemed less. May be for me atleast!

I expected the chicken lollipop to be sweet and juicy but then realised those styles were Chinese and not continental. So got happy with the lollipop, which was huge in size to be specific.

The place is a medium sized serving AC hall and Non AC seperately. Best to go there during noon for fresh biryanis and non vegetarian meals.

We had a good time and I'd surely recommend for biryanis!!

And, this is the only place on earth where you get to inside "Ladies" restroom. Haha.. Just kidding. Thier restroom has a board labelled as "For Ladies" but that's common for all. I was hell shocked when I was asked to go in there for restroom.

One suggestion to the management is.. please change the restroom label or remove it 😉 coz, Men can't hold it for long when they don't see a men's...

This restaurant is a fiery delight for spice enthusiasts. Specializing in aromatic biryani and succulent chicken dishes, it encapsulates the essence of Andra's rich culinary tradition.

In conclusion, this Andra restaurant is a haven for those seeking an authentic, fiery gastronomic journey. From the first aromatic whiff to the last lingering taste, it leaves an indelible mark on the taste buds, making it a must-visit for aficionados of bold and spicy...
