New Farooq Biryani Centre

New Farooq Biryani Centre is located in Lalgudi, out here in the Trichy district. We’ve been here for a good number of years. It’s a local spot where we focus on biryani. The shop isn't very large and it’s quite basic inside. We have big pots in the back where the cooking happens every day. Lalgudi is a small place, so news travels fast by word of mouth rather than the internet. Most of our customers are people who live right here or are passing through the town. We don't have a fancy dining area with waiters in uniforms. It’s more of a place where you get your food and eat. We put a lot of time into the preparation because that’s the main part of the job. The kitchen gets hot and it’s hard work, but we’ve been doing it for a long time. We start early in the morning to get the spices and the meat ready. By lunchtime, the smell of the food is everywhere. We don't use any complicated recipes, just what we’ve always done. It’s a family-run kind of thing where everyone pitches in. The address is 621601, right in the heart of Lalgudi. We don't have a website or big signs. We just open the doors and start cooking. It’s a simple life and a simple business. We just try to get the food out to people on time.
