Valarmathi Mess

This place has been consistently busy for the last 3 years I've been visiting. The food is very tasty and cleanliness is decent enough to make you want to go back again.
The place is packed though, so expect strangers sitting with you on your table. Not the best place for a relaxed meal, so don't expect it. You want good food... just land up there.
They don't have a dedicated parking space, but there is plenty of roadside parking available. They have a couple of security guards who will guide you while parking.
You also may want to be prepared to wait outside for a table to get free. If summer... May god help you with the scorching heat outside. However go through the wait in the hot sun, and then go inside and have a cold buttermilk... absolutely refreshing and worth the wait.
I have tasted their chicken biriyani and non veg meals on different occasions. They were both good and I would recommend both.
The restaurant is quite small but seats a lot in that space. They have an AC seating area which compensates for this else you wouldn't be able to sit inside.

Food:
Chicken & Mutton biryani - Piping hot samba biryani served with sufficient meat; the mutton was succulent but the chicken was a bit layery, though tender it was just OK. ????????
The fragrances were all bang on target with a good spice level.

Kola urundai - Freaking soft mutton with a crisp outer layer and filled with amazing flavours on the inside; the native taste was evident along every bite, NAMMA OORU MEATBALL ????????

Mutton chukka - Spicy chukka with small pieces of boneless meat; filled with coriander leaves, this semi gravy had the right amount of spice and sour, MUST TRY ????

Pallipalayam chicken - Authentic South-Indian dish with lots of dried red chillies and coconut; too spicy to handle, crunchy from the gravy, UNIQUE????

Fried egg - Boiled eggs chopped and tossed in a mixture of pepper, chilli, garam masala etc to form a semi-gravy; the curry leaves with the masala were perfect for the egg????????

Masala omelette - Usual omelette stuffed with green chilli and onions; usual finale for any meal down south????

Ambience/Price:
Right from the time the place opens by noon, it gets beefed up with crowds. There might be waiting time during peak hours. The ambience is simple with limited seating in both AC and Non-AC dining areas. Service was decent enough with not much waiting time for any dishes.
Parking shouldn't be a problem with ample space on the main road. The price does make everyone happy with such good food served at nominal rates.

*Personal rating would be a 4.5

Today I had a bad experience with this hotel. The hotel is always crowded and a person with a pen will note a person and allotte table he always does favour for people with crowds and will avoid single and double person (4 times it happened) today while I was early no crowd and there is a place for me a server place me with other guy I went single only while sitting with leaf and waiting for meals and and sides the allotment guy came and ask me to change my seat because the other guy who had while I went finished eating, I always avoid these type of creepy people

And this is not the first time

My biggest disappointment is food to have a good lunch I travelled 12 km in car nearly 12 kms crossing all famous restaurants and hotels

But the meals are average normally the chicken and mutton kulambu will taste good with the regional flovor and mutton varuval is not up to their standard missing the taste
