This restaurant has been our personal favourite since they opened in KL. It was super hard to find authentic South Indian biriyani, specially the ones made with seeraga samba rice in KL. If you’re in KL and love biriyanis, or want to taste authentic South Indian meals, along with veg and non-veg sides, then @juniorkuppannamy is your place to be! What we love about the food is they do not attempt to match to the local taste but use spices, seafood and meat that come all the way from India! Bet this is the only place where you get good mutton, YES not the chewy Australian lamb guys, but this is goat meat. The seafood is super fresh and juicy, the trick is to use small to medium sized prawn, and they do not use tiger prawns like other Indian restaurants here ;) What we love? 1. Mutton biryani—the best biryani you would have tasted. Soft, juicy and tender mutton pieces that melt in your mouth with the biryani rice that the mutton is cooked. 2. Chicken 65—you can’t go wrong with chicken 65, this is a must order side for us :) 3. Pepper prawn / prawn masala—both these dishes have prawn that taste sooo good, and you find the seasoning in the prawn, and the prawn is without the shell snd is deveined. I literally had tears when I ate this, because I was kinda missing my seafood in KL after being spoilt by the fresh seafood right from marina beach 🥲. It’s a story for another day though! Lol! 4. Non-veg meals—this comes with chicken curry, mutton curry, fish curry, egg curry, 2 veg, Rasam, curd, appalam, kesari, all this n unlimited! 5. Pepper chicken—a semi-dry chicken roasted with spices and cooked to perfection. 6. Mutton kola—crispy on the outside and soft and moist on the inside this is a classic. The price factor is really low compared to other restaurants that serve the same food, and quality is much better than those charging higher price! I mean you get a mutton biryani for RM26, with a lot of pieces and egg and the non-veg meals at RM 17.50. ⏰Best time to visit—before 12:30 pm on weekends and weekdays so you skip the lunch rush and long queue. #klfoodie #kualalumpur #chennaiblogger #malaysia #biryani #trending

Had high expectations for this place. But I didn’t read the reviews before going there as was suggested by sister. Went for Sunday dinner, had to wait for 10mins for a table- not an issue as it was packed.. meaning good food. Got the table, waited for quite sometime before we asked the waiter to take our order. Firstly, I expect a restaurant relevantly that new to be prepared to provide for the large crowd. Mutton and mushroom briyani sold out at 8.30pm and the waiter was clueless about this. I hope the owner reads these reviews as your staff really need to improve on their performance and quality and customer care. The waiter who was taking our order- was running here and there while taking our order- just a minute maam- gone for 2mins- comes back again- takes our order— wait a minute maam- gone again. After we are half way through ordering- he comes back telling us no mutton briyani available- fine, went with chicken. Ordered chicken curry- rm22. Asked him whether briyani got egg- he said yes got. Ordered masala omelette for side dish. Finally giving my drink order- waiter paiyan went missing again and never came back to confirm our order but I managed to tell him sugarless iceless apple juice. Hoping he would have gotten my order, I didn’t call him back. Paiyan came and told us to wait 5mins for food- food came after 15 mins. Curry came after briyani rice finishing with missing egg, masala omelette didn’t come until paiyan came with coin roti (as small as my palm) x2 for rm5.60- not worth trying for tht amount of price, and he informed us sorry no more egg ready. But this restaurant did manage to piss me off, at first I stayed calm even though the paiyan was running here and there throughout our ordering session but if you are going to do tht- at least be smart enough to double check the orders. Firstly they brought apple juice with sugar and ice when I ordered for the opposite- no I cannot adjust because I am diabetic. I was just in the midst of explaining to the serving waiter that I need my juice sugarless and iceless when this smart manager guy interrupted us and ordered the waiter to get the next table’s order because he clearly looked like a dato’ and was demanding attention. I lost my cool- I shouted at him- can you please get my order right because I don’t want you to mess it up again- but totally rude of him. After I raised my voice only this manager had a sense of duty- and I told him your waiter was running here and there and didn’t get my order right. Then another smart waiter brought my apple juice again - after like 5-10mins, it was brown on top with the juice looking brown as well- clearly oxidized. I questioned him why is it brown colour- smart waiter said red apple- red apple fine but why the foam also brown colour? I had to raise my voice again and told him off again to bring me my juice properly the third time. Finally got my rm6 juice which was probably quarter or half apple in diluted water- disappointed. For me it’s not worth the hype- not much options for vegetarians- better pay a visit to Sangeetha or betel leaf. Briyani but not basmati rice- unsure what rice or whether it’s a norm for kongu ppl to use this rice or is it just normal rice used. But for rm20- I expect an egg with bigger chunks of chicken. Only got two piece- just nice for one individual. Mutton briyani is rm26- kalethele katti. The kovai chicken curry rm22 but came with few pieces only.. 4 orang share pun- each will get 1/2 pieces only- something different but not worth the price. Overall worth one time trial but I would say I would have gotten a better service at other places.

Had a wonderful lunch earlier today. We reached at 1pm, it was drizzling a lil, probably that's why it wasn't so crowded. We went with high expectations after looking at tiktok reviews from influencers about the Kongu Briyani served here.. Damn! It's exactly what they have described, being a briyani lover, this is definitely the best briyani I have ever tried. We tried chicken briyani and mutton briyani, chicken was well-cooked and the mutton pieces were tender enough. The briyani rice was full with flavours. My taste buds weren't ready for it! We also ordered fresh milk tea which served in cutting chai glass. And we took-away a carrot halwa as dessert too. Here are my honest take on other stuffs: Price : 1. Chicken Briyani - RM19.50 2. Mutton Briyani - RM26 (Both briyani worth every single penny) 3. Fresh milk tea - RM5/glass (RM3.50 would be a fair price for the volume served) 4. Carrot halwa - RM7/small container (Hmmm, let the Indian sweets experts to comment) Ambient : Cosy, Clean, Well Air-conditioned. There's a waiting area as well (a sofa bench) once you've entered the outlet. Staffs : Friendly, polite and efficient. They were quite genuine to serve you the best. Parking : (We knew this is going to be challenging, therefore we took grab after parking in a nearby mall.) Option 1 - Very very limited parking available next to the outlet (payable to third party). Option 2 - Park further front in an open gated carpark space (payable via TnGo) but you got to walk probably like 3-5 mins. Revisit : Definitely yes! Will be in a dilemma whether to go for briyani again or choose a different dish from many other they offer. Thank You for the awesome briyani, Junior Kuppanna KL team. Please maintain the quality, can't wait to come back for more.

Why does this place has less than 4 star review??? As soon as you enter you are treated with an amazing ambiance, attentive service and on top of that amazing South Indian food. We have been to Kuala lumpur for only two days and been here three times already. We had chicken soup which literally was the thing we were craving due to travel related cold. It just hit the spot with right amount of spice and amazing flavours. Along with it we ordered fried rice but asked for less oil and it is what was delivered. Fried chicken chunks and vegetables along with fluffy oil free rice. Today’s during lunch menu we got their vegetarian meal and it was so good that deserve 4 stars alone. All flavours bang on and the full meal makes lunch absolutely on point. We also had mutton biryani today as they know their stuff. It was so good with succulent mutton meat and the flavourful small grain rice. The food here is definitely worth a dime you spend and the cleanliness and hygiene is superb. If you are looking for tasty food in budget you can definitely visit this restaurant. The only thing is their portion size can be improved upon as single servings might not suffice for two people (if you need the big portions, lunch menu is unlimited). Also the story decor absolutely is interesting to read while you wait for your food. Cheers to the staff for such hard work and this place deserves much more attention than it has on google!

I recently had the pleasure of trying three delectable South Indian dishes: chicken curry dosa, coin parotta, and plain biryani. Each dish offered a unique and delightful culinary experience. The chicken curry dosa was a true revelation. The dosa itself was perfectly crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. The chicken curry, with its blend of aromatic spices, was the star of the show. It had just the right amount of heat, and the tender chicken pieces soaked up all the flavorful goodness. The combination of the dosa and the chicken curry was a marriage made in food heaven. Coin parotta is always a fun choice. These miniature, coin-sized parottas were not only cute but also incredibly tasty. They were flaky and slightly crispy on the outside while remaining soft on the inside. The layers were a testament to the skill of the chef. Pairing these with a flavorful curry is a delightful way to enjoy the experience. Sometimes, simplicity can be the key to culinary satisfaction, and the plain biryani was a testament to that. Fragrant samba rice cooked to perfection and infused with subtle spices created a harmonious medley. The biryani was beautifully adorned with aromatic herbs and fried onions, making it a feast for both the eyes and the palate. While it may be "plain" in name, it was anything but in flavor.

Extremely poor service. Waited for someone to take orders for almost 10minutes, that is also after reminding them for few times! Subsequently food arrived late and they never FAIL to surprise us again, the standard word that they use, “sorry sir, you have to wait for 15 minutes for parotha, certain dish finished fast, and worst part they dnt have coffee or neither tea at 8:30pm - which also finished early it seems! The first Indian restaurant who said there is no tea / coffee now, only juice is available. I have no complaints about the food , its tasty (not all to be recommended), mutton briyani wins! Overall, this is my second time being here and i would clearly say their service is still slow and sad part when they use the word “item finished” !!! Food portion vs price is a BOMB for sure. Not all the dishes worth the price, they overpriced certain items and they play well on the portions. I questioned one of the guy, how come you said no tea and now you can prepare tea for another customer, guess his silly answer…” we waited for the milk to boil since we use fresh milk”, bro there is a difference of saying no tea will be served now vs we are waiting for milk to boil. You are running a restaurant and giving silly answers!! Overall memang hampeh!!!!!
