What to eat: North Indian Non Veg Cuisine

Where: Samco, Eldams Road, Alwarpet, Chennai

Location:


Verdict: Today afternoon we visited an old time favorite restaurant where I used to have dinner before 15 years. It is the infamous Samco Restaurant located at the corner of Eldams road...to be precise it is just next to Kamal Hasan's house. No worries about car parking as they provide valet parking. So we just handed over the keys, got a token and entered the restaurant.

Generally used to have Special Chicken Briyani. But today we want to reduce the intake of chicken, so we have ordered for a fish briyani, butter chicken masala and wheat parotta.

Fish briyani was just the regular dum briyani with 2 big steamed fish pieces hidden beneath the rice. Butter chicken masala is our all time favourite in Samco and it never goes wrong here. It was super creamy, bit sweat with fried middle sized chicken pieces. I could feel the ground cashew nuts in it.

Wheat Parotta was bit crispy and well made. Finally got a regular falooda to end the meal. Final bill for 820₹ which is bit pricey, but compared to the service and taste it is worth indeed. They also have a branch in Teynampet. And going to open a branch in Velacheri. So you guys don't have to drive far like me to taste their lovely food.
