Selvi Mess - South Indian restaurant in Salem - Salem, India

Gem of a place to have really good South Indian food. Chicken Briyani is my all time favourite and their chicken 65 was outstanding. Also tried the pepper chicken boneless. Make sure to customise your briyani with Chicken Drumstick or normal chicken pieces. It's a thing here, you can choose what kind of piece you'd like in your briyani. I've tried the in-house service -they always serve food on banana leaf which elevates the taste. Take away packing is very traditional, a layer of packaging paper and banana leaf to give you the exact taste and portion was standard. My visits to Salem are never complete without a visit here.

Not the taste that I was expecting compared to the good old days. Service is still good. But the biriyani tasted like tomato rice. Disappointed and felt bad for taking the family around ...

The quality and taste of the food is nice, but heavily overpriced. Chicken Biryani was very average with a high price (INR 190) mutton chukka tastes too good (Rs270) again a bit high price for this ambiance without A/C . Overall a good food with a high price.

This is a mess. Remember that. No high class non veg restaurant. The servers here think we are eating there for free. It's a mess and if you expect that and go you won't be disappointed. Unless you die to eat good food don't go here.

Worth for money.. Mutton biryani was top notch taste. Hotel opposite car parking space available.Must try hotel in salem. They have many branches. Must try - Mutton biryani, parotta salna.

The taste of Home made. Take away is flexible. Moderate price. Located near town railway station. No car parking, seats were available when visited has family AC dining hall. Famous for take away and home style non vegetarian foods.

Best food for non-veg eters. Chicken biriyani was not great.

Went to this mess for lunch. Had a good experience. Ordered an empty briyani, non veg meals with starters kaadai 65 and koththu kari. Let me rate each dish I believe food should not be rated. Everyone has a different taste. Rating with the numbers would generally help Koththu Kari Taste is good. But masala is overshadowed the actual taste of the meat.If you like masala flavour more. Try it 3/5 Empty Briyani Tasted as same as normal briyani. It comes up with a boiled egg. They served Non veg gravy for it. 4/5 If you are in budget constraints Kaadai 65 Deep fried meat served with onion and lime. I have tasted this dish in many hotels. But believe me this one is too good. If you want to try a new dish other than chicken or mutton. This is for you. 4/5 Other than these we ordered Kalaki and half boiled. 3/5 They are using groundnut oil for the spread. If you do like the nutty smell over these you can try it. Hospitality 5/5 Server uncle. Sorry that I didn't asked for his name. We usually order dishes one by one to avoid wastage of food. For everytime we asked for the above mentioned dishes he patiently served with a little smile. Respect San Andreas bgm rolls Price Konjam athigam than pa With the starving sensation I forgot take the photos of these dishes.
