The Origin of Thalappakatti Biriyani

Started as a betel nut shop, Mr Nagasamy Naidu took the chance of opening a small four-seater hotel, which made him realise that his wife’s unique style of biriyani had the potential to go places.

Initially serving the local community, the biriyani soon attracted many admirers from neighbouring cities.
