Hanumanthu Devi Mess - Mysuru (Mysore)

Tried the mutton pulav and mutton chops. Both the dishes were nice. The mutton was well cooked. The place is pocket friendly.

My bestie insisted this was the original Hanumanthu. After parking the car some distance, we explored Mandi Mohalla and reached here. <br/ <br/ The place does look and feel authentic. Tiny place, just passage and nooks. We tried literally everything available on the menu at the time we went , a bit late, closer to 2pm I think. Of the rice items we tried the ghee rice, chicken palav, mutton palav, the mutton one being the best. The rice was non-oily, light and very lightly flavoured. Quite different. My friends liked it, might take getting used to for some. <br/ <br/ Of the sides, the mutton chops were the best, just juicy deliciousness. Two big pieces in one plate. So we needed a repeat order since we were 3. The chicken fry was nondescript, can avoid this one here. The kheema balls were good but not the best I have had. I did not have the mutton liver, but my friends did and said it was average.They were out of boti and leg soup but there is a bowl of leg soup given along with the palav so we did get to taste it. It was light and nice, somewhat looked like rasam they usually give in military hotels. We did not have the stomach for the thale mamsa.<br/ <br/ Overall good. Been wanting to try this place for a while and I could click done on my bucket list. My choice here though would be the mutton chops, not the rice.<br/ Went a second time, the mutton biryani was consistently good but to our disappointment, they were out of mutton chops as we were late on a Sunday. Second time around we had the Kheema Balls as there were no other sides left.  Kheema balls can be avoided, it was below average. Don't miss the Mutton Chops if you are going to this outlet of Hanumanthu.

My friend took me to this place by saying have you tasted this hanumanthu briyani , I told no I have heard about it but no. Immediately he took me to this hotel saying then u must taste the original one , I said okay and we went there by 10 am I guess . And he ordered this traditional mutton briyani and keema , guys trust me this is the best hotel to taste , being a spicy lover u will enjoy it to the core<br/ <br/ The hotel looks like some ordinary hotel but the taste and the price you pay for this mutton briyani and keema is far better than other hotels where they just give tomato rice and say its briyani<br/ <br/ Try some traditional briyani guys <br/ <br/ Ambience : 3/5<br/ Taste price : 5/5<br/
