What people say, in short
People recommend Hotel Pandiyas in Vadapalani mainly for its biryani, which one diner found different from the usual Chennai style and good with the accompanying gravy. Another commenter says the biryani is not too spicy, with soft chicken pieces, while a third compares it to Wanarapettai style and loves the side gravy. One former fan feels the taste has declined from its earlier days, so expectations may vary.
