Samburna is a conveniently located restaurant on Mussoorie Road, making it easy to reach. The ample parking space and the supportive building security make the arrival hassle-free, which is a great plus for those traveling by car. Drinks: We started with a refreshing coconut water mixed with honey and lime. This drink was not only delicious but also rejuvenating—perfect for a hot summer day. Starters: For starters, we opted for Gobi 65 and Chicken 65 (Tamil Nadu-style dry fry). Both were exceptional, packed with flavor, and fried to perfection. These appetizers were definitely the highlight of our meal, leaving us impressed by their authentic South Indian touch. Main Course: CURD RICE, LEMON RICE, POROTTA/SOUTH INDIAN POROTTA, CHICKEN CHETTINAD, VEGETABLE BIRIYANI & DINDIGUL CHICKEN BIRIYANI

Our family recently had the pleasure of dining at Samburna for lunch, and it was a delightful experience overall. Situated with a beautiful view of the mountains from the second floor, the restaurant offers a charming South Indian ambience that sets the stage for a memorable meal.
We started with the Mini Tiffin, a perfect choice for those with a moderate appetite. It boasted a generous serving size, featuring a sizable dosa, five small idlis, a medium vada, flavorful sambar, excellent upma, sweet pongal, and a trio of chutneys. The green chutney, with its blend of dhaniya, pudina, and kadi patta, alongside the classic coconut chutney and tomato chutney, complemented the Mini Tiffin perfectly.
Moving on to the Chettinad Masala Dosa, while it met expectations, it fell slightly short of being exceptional. Similarly, the Appam and Veg Chettinad were enjoyable but didn't quite leave a lasting impression.
For dessert, we tried the Pineapple Kesari, a delightful addition to the meal, offering a unique twist on traditional South Indian sweets. And of course, no South Indian meal is complete without a steaming cup of filter coffee, which provided the perfect ending to our culinary journey.
In conclusion, Samburna offers a pleasant dining experience with its picturesque surroundings, inviting ambiance, and a diverse array of South Indian delicacies. While some dishes may have been average, others stood out, making it a worthwhile visit for anyone craving authentic South...
Read moreAfter watching some reels in instagram and checking out their menu I went there to try some 'authentic south indian food' and it was disappointing when it comes to their quality of food. I orderd kakkinad pepper chicken fry, mutton elumbu rasam, malabar porotta, chettinad chicken and appam with chicken stew. At first kakkinad chicken arrived in just 2 mins I was not very impressed about this much of prompt service, and it seems it was reheated. They served 3/4 pieces of chicken along with 3 bones in some spice gravy. Gravy was average and chicken was of bland taste. After that I tried the mutton rasam and it was also without seasoning. I have tried this recipe in tamilnadu many times so I am very much known to this taste and this time it was so disappointing. In chicken chettinad over cooked chicken seems that they were leftover pieces. And in chicken stew they must use coconut milk to prepare the base instead of grated coconut and they just serve atleast good pieces instead of two small solid pieces in that gravy. Overall a disappointing experience in this restaurant. Will suggest to look into this matter if you are investing so much in social media marketing you should provide atleast good quality food as you are charging a good amount for...
