Good for get together... Moe peoples book a day before...
Excellent ... Food taste and service. Must try biryani and tandoor items (fish tikka super) Don't miss the home made --Egg pudding and coconut pudding..
Good food. Have been going there for more than a decade. Still serves good food. Don't disappoint.
One of the oldest restaurant in Chennai who maintains good taste... Was in hunger so not able to take pictures of main dishes !!! Bought some Deserts for take away and all of them are Vera level & must try...
Cafe Amin is one of my absolute favorite in chennai like most ppl who hail from this locality.. This has been a part of my life since my teens and i cant stop loving them enough.. In early 2010s they did loose their way a bit but now they seem to be back on track.. Located in royapettah near the police station this place is a literal land mark in this locality.. The parking is roadside for bikes and for cars they have rented a nearby place..so no issues there.. Though i have many experience here let me talk abt my last experience alone.. Ordered a Mutton Biryani, Chettinad Chicken Biryani, Chicken Fried Rice, Madras Kothu Parotta and Couple of Parottas.. Tandoori Chicken : Not their strong point of late as it lacks consistency.. The last try it was quite spicy and mint chutney too was watery.. Overall quite average.. Meals : First time we tried it and was quite good IMO.. The Gravies were quite tasty and the sides too.. The variety was a regular spread.. Mutton Biryani : The best they can offer and this has been a regular order here.. And this has a place on my list of must try biryanis in chennai..Succulent meat in a aromatic and flavorful birynai and absolutely killer in taste.. But the quantity seems less than before.. Madras Kothu Parotta : Another one of their specials.. Must try for sure.. Pair it with their chicken gravy and it is one of a killer combination... Veg Fried Rice : Loaded with Veggies and the quantity is also good.. The Taste is quite unique as it is more peppery.. Definitely indiaized to the core.. Pricing is at par with most restaurant in this class and locality and also with great food.. This place is a definite must try..
I ve been going to this place for decades it has been the same for all these years and that is the best quality for a restaurant. Their signature dishes are Amin falooda and paaya and biryani ❤️ . Please do give these a try cause these are just amazing here. The ambience is good here. The staffs are very nice and courteous. The parking is right next to it for car or bike. The price is affordable. The quality and quantity of the food is just right! Shawarma was so good here 😍 . My family has been going here for generations for a reason because of their food🥰 . A great place to spend time with friends or family. A must try place .
Perfect for both friends and family gatherings, whether it's lunch or dinner. Keep it simple: just order their biryani and finish off with a cup of tea. If you're there in the evening, opt for a plate of samosas and a cup of tea.
It’s a nostalgia restaurant! It’s small , simple and taste is really good ! I enjoyed pepper chicken and I will recommend this for anyone new. Mutton Biriyani was so authentic so as the lime soda 🥤 Overall worth the money 💰!
Food is very tasty and budget friendly . Whatever we order is extermely delicious . Service was very good . Ambience may get better . Falooda is very rich . Try mutton bbq is very tasty
Excellent outlet serving since 1956. Had lunch for the first time and experienced great food. Chicken Biriyani - must try Chilli chicken Chicken Lollypop - must try Caramel Pudding - Very Good Ginger Lemon Juice was very Nice
