What people say, in short
Sultan is repeatedly suggested for non-vegetarian breakfast and biryani, particularly at Yanaikkal, the outlet pinned here. The tally also includes other Madurai outlets. One Yanaikkal diner enjoyed parotta, kalakki and chicken chukka, while another visitor found parotta, dosa and kushka available at breakfast. One commenter recommends nalli biryani. Not everyone is enthusiastic: a diner disliked an oily, heavily spiced paya, and another criticises excess oil and masala in the biryani.
