What people say, in short
People recommend Dhonnai Biryani House near Varadharaja Mills for its underrated Chickpet-style biryani, with one commenter describing it as a Karnataka-style preparation that is less spicy than Hyderabad or Tamil Nadu versions. One diner who visited calls the mutton biryani top notch with succulent, tender pieces, though the menu is limited, and suggests going in the afternoon. Another diner found the mutton biryani good but felt the price was high for the small quantity and never returned. One commenter says the branch is still open but closes on Mondays, while another reported finding it shut on their visit, so it may be worth confirming it is open before going.
