Mysore Dhonne Biriyani Restaurant

We are located at No.2961/55 in Saraswathipuram, Mysore. You can find us on the 3rd Cross, 5th Main. We are tucked right behind JSS Womens College, which is a big landmark for us. The restaurant isn't very large, and it can be a bit hard to find if you aren't looking for it. We started this place because we wanted to serve biryani in the dhonne style that we like. The kitchen is small and we do everything by hand. You can hear the cooks chopping vegetables and spices all day long. We don't have a big staff, so sometimes the person serving you is also the one who cooked the meal. We use the traditional leaf bowls for everything. It’s simple and it works. The walls are just painted a plain color and we have a few fans to keep the air moving. It’s not a fancy dining experience with soft music. It’s a bit noisy and the smell of woodsmoke and spices is always in the air. We get a lot of students from the college nearby who come in for a cheap and filling lunch. We also have people from the Saraswathipuram neighborhood who stop by for take-away in the evenings. We don't have any big goals of opening twenty branches. We just want to make sure the pot of biryani we cook today is as good as the one yesterday. It’s a tough business but we enjoy the work we do here.
