[Santa Clara] Arusuvai- Tamil Nadu eats

Arusuvai is a restaurant serving food from the state of Tamil Nadu. I have them bookmarked for their biryani, which is made using seeraga samba rice. I came here one day when my first choice lunch place nearby was full.

Chicken biryani:

The seeraga samba rice was quite wet, the wettest I have had in a biryani. Hidden from view were pieces of seasoned chicken. I’d say the biryani was average, compared to a similar one from Bawarchi that’s made with seeraga samba rice a while ago.


The gongura goat curry was a mess. Salty but without much nuance. Did not like it.

Perhaps I should have stuck with the dosa and the oothappam side of the menu. They have a 2-person size 2 feet wide dosa on the menu.

The restaurant is clean, new and comfortable looking.

Anyone else been? What’s good?

Menu:

This event happened not too long ago. Could be interesting for those who likes Chettinad food.
