What people say, in short
Zaitoon in Anna Nagar draws recommendations for biryani, with several commenters also praising the ambience. It is suggested for both a family dinner and a large group meal. One diner recommends kizhi parotta. The caveats are more limited vegetarian choice, according to one commenter, and recent disappointment with taste from others. One person considers it only a middling biryani option. The favourable dining-room reports should not be mistaken for unanimous enthusiasm about the food.
