What people say, in short
Pandias is represented by Vadapalani, with recommendations pooled across its Vadapalani, Royapuram and Washermanpet outlets. Two Vadapalani diners enjoy its distinctive biryani: one praises the gravy, the other mild spice and tender chicken; another commenter likes the accompanying salna. A Vadapalani diner who once enjoyed the turkey biryani feels the taste has declined.

Found the Vadapalani branch's biryani unusual but good, especially paired with their gravy.
The spot for really different biryani
Not too spicy, very soft chicken pieces; not Chennai style biryani
Recommends Pandyas on Avenue, Royapuram for biryani.
Same as the Washermanpet one; loves the biryani and the salna
Loved it in the past, including the turkey biryani, but feels quality has dropped over time.
