Dindigul Thalappatti - A restaurant review

Ok. So I have been a bit infrequent in my blogs upload lately and I totally accept the blame.
It just happens sometimes, that one gets so caught up with the humdrum of life, that you just feel that life is passing you by and you would rather experience it than write about it.

And a restaurant review coming up!

Well, there is one restaurant in my newly adopted city Bangalore, which manages to make my heart flutter each time, I visit it. And this great place is called, "Dindigul Thalappakatti". It has its origins in the quaint town of Dindigul, Tamil Nadu. And recently they have opened up couple of counters in Bangalore. I usually frequent the one in HSR. Ok, so what's so great about it?! Yet another Nagarjuna reincarnated? (For the uninitiated, Nagarjuna happens to be my second favourite Biryani place in the town, and its Andhra cuisine, actually). Dindigul is famous for its Chicken/Mutton biryani. The flavour, aroma, spices, kind of rice grains they use and the quality of meat. Each and every aspect is top-notch. Service is super-fast. Ambience is Ok, don't expect a place that will transport you to a nirvana kind of place where you can introspect about the meaning of your life etc. Its a place where you can have delicious and soul-enriching food and that by itself is Nirvana enough, in my opinion :)

The popularity of the restaurant is immense, and there is a waiting time of minimum 30 minutes, especially in the evenings. Thats how crazy it gets during dinner time. Honestly speaking, I wouldn't mind waiting for even an hour if I get this kind of Biryani. I was privileged enough to visit the Dindigul restaurant in Chennai as well, and the quality is consistent. I was actually introduced to Dindigul, way back in 2015, when one of my closest friends in Chennai, Jerome and his lovely wife Bharti took me there for Dinner. I absolutely loved it and luckily got a chance to visit the Blore restaurant couple of months back after I relocated to this city and boy, was I mesmerised?! Yes, all over again!

I give it 5 stars! An absolute pleasure!
