NAMMA VEETU BIRIYANI

We are located at 408/185 on TH Road in Old Washermanpet. This is a real old part of Chennai, and it has a character you won't find in the newer areas. Our shop, NAMMA VEETU BIRIYANI, is small, and we focus on making biryani. That’s what we do every day. We start early in the morning, getting the meat and rice ready and setting up the big pots. The smell fills the street pretty quickly. TH Road is always busy with local traffic, and we get a lot of people from the neighborhood who come by for their lunch. It’s not a place with a lot of seating, so a lot of our business is people taking food home to their families. We’ve been in Old Washermanpet for a long time, and we know many of the faces that come through the door. It’s a tough business because there’s a lot of competition around here, but we just keep doing what we know. The kitchen gets really hot, especially in the afternoons, but we’re used to it by now. We don’t use any fancy machines, just the old ways of cooking. It’s just a simple biryani shop on a busy street. We work long hours, but seeing the pots empty at the end of the day is a good feeling. It’s just us, the rice, and the spices, day in and day out on TH Road. We don't need much else to keep us busy. It’s just our way of making a living in this part of town.
