Carnival
8 people recommend, 1 warns against itvia r/Madurai10 comments cited below
What people say, in short
Carnival is repeatedly suggested for biryani. One commenter singles out the mutton biryani, while another praises the seeraga samba rice at Chokikulam, the location pinned here, and notes limited parking. The latter describes a different style from Chettinad biryani rather than claiming one is universally better. The caveats concern value: one diner finds this outlet average and overpriced, while another likes the taste but considers the portions small for the cost.
