Last night, we(my hubby and myself) had the most horrible experience of visiting the Madurai Appu restaurant.located at ECR.We were at this hotel @ around 8:30 PM.and when we entered the hotel we were hit by a nauseating bad non-veg smell for a second.Now I think that .that was our clue to get out of that place.but that time.we thought that it was nothing too serious.
The Ambience of the place was average.The waiter came to take our orders.I will have to mention here that their Menu card had very interesting sounding items like'Madurai Malli Chicken', 'Pirattal Chicken' etc.We wanted something spciy.and on asking the waiter, .he recommended the Gongura Chicken!?.do u believe this.? Madurai Appu happens to a Chettinad.no.a Pandiyanad hotel and they recommend an Andhra dish!(that could have been our second clue I guess.!).
I stuck to the authentic variety they had and we ordered Chicken Kothu Parota, Madurai Appu Special Chicken Fry and their Biriyani of the Day.which was "Moghal Biriyani"?
The service was very fast.and we received our orders.the Kothu parota was ok.but the salna was really bad.it was very bland.The Madurai Appu special chicken was too bad even to comment on it.It tasted like a bad mix of spices .was really bad.And the final straw was the Special Biriyani., .it was decorated with an egg carving!?
It tasted like cardamom and cinnamon rice.!We just left the food like that and asked for the bill.ithe bill was 330/-.another waste of money.
The surpising thing was that none of the waiters or the Senior waiters did not even have the courtesy of asking as to why the food was left like that! I guess they knew their hotel food quality.
So.I would just say that the food, ambience and everything which is lacking for a good restaurant is definetly lacking for this hotel.
So.Madurai Appu is no doubts a big AAPPU for us.:)
