My cravings for briyani never ended. And this made me to visit one of the popular restaurants in Chennai, Mapla which is located in sterling road, Nungambakkam. In Sundays place is little crowded so prior reservation is recommended for weekend get-togethers. As far as the interiors are concerned there is not much fancy stuffs and dully lit ambient light which make us feel like we are having virundhu at home. Services are very quick and hospitality is good.
The dishes are limited to Kerala and chettinad style and we may not get Chinese and other continental foods. I have ordered mutton briyani virudhu which includes unlimited briyani, mutton fry Baroda, mutton gravy, onion Raita, brinjal gravy. There is also a chicken based briyani virundhu with the difference in chicken briyani and chicken fry , Kerala style Thalaserry briyani which is a layered style basmati briyani and veg briyani. Apart from briyani,Non veg thali is also very popular which includes chicken, mutton and fish gravis, aviyal and poriyal.
The taste of the mutton briyani is Madurai style made with Seeragasamba rice which is excellent as we can feel that we are having briyani in Madurai itself. Chicken briyani is Ambur style based which is a Dum briyani made with Basmati rice.
Then we ordered vanjaram fry and Andhra style chilli chicken which to my opinion should have been fried little more as I was able to feel rawness of the chicken.

To finish it off we ordered for Falooda and Jigardunda, very much same taste we can get in Madurai My expectations never failed and we are happy with the taste and and services. It is a must place in Chennai for biryani lovers to try.
