Food:
Chicken Biryani/Mutton Biryani – Well, there is some stiff competition for the best biryani in Chennai. A basmati rice biryani with little frills (Cardamoms and Cinnamon sticks) and more of the slightly sweet tender meat. The chicken Biryani had the leg piece while the mutton had the chest. The richness of the Biryani was obvious in every scoop. The meat was tender, juicy and even the jelly-ness was enjoyable. MUST TRY!!
Chicken 65 – What is a meal without trying out 65 at its birthplace. It was tender and juicy on the inside, mild-spiced and very crunchy on the outside, GOOD
Mutton Samosa – Tiny crunchy triangles with moderate meat level; not so great but the dips alone were too good
Hunan veg fried rice – No-spice rice with a variety of veggies, served with a bowl of their hot peppery Hunan sauce; since the sauce had good spice level, along with the rice it was good
5/5 for Biryani; rest were just good!!

Ambience/Price:
Their ambience is definitely their biggest plus; great seating space in both AC and Non-AC sections; service too was swift and courteous. But, the lack of parking space was frustrating; couldn’t whine about it since this place is right in the heart of the city.
Also, the price was a concern for a few dishes; they shall re-consider it.

The chicken dum biriyani with chicken 90 are a must try! Absolutely delicious food and really nice ambience. And a special call out for the sulaimani tea! Loved the place.

The jam bun is famous here, it’s 40₹ but it has kishmish and it’s freshly baked. The garlic prawns and grill chicken is super yumm! Must try it. The tandoori chicken is okayish can be more flavourful.

Buhari the birthplace of chicken 65. I heard this from my early days of Chennai exploration. I always neglect this restaurant.

But my expectations are blown away by mount road Buhari with their 65. To be honest, 65 is super awesome. I expected more in quantity. We also had the opportunity to try their biryani and pilaf. Both are good.

More than that I like their renovated interior, service and ambiance. There is still some opportunity at washroom maintenance.

The famous Buhari which is the origin place of Chicken 65. We decided to go have it from the first outlet itself (also, it was nearby). The place seems small from outside but there is a lot of seating. In the non-AC region, there are two levels with long fans and high ceilings which reminded me of Parsi restaurants. The AC section, however is completely different with modern design and fine-dining ambience. After a short wait, we were seated at the AC section.

The experience stared of well with a refreshing grape welcome drink. After that we ordered Chicken 65, Ceylon Porotta (mutton) and Chicken Biryani. The service was not bad but the order was messed up. We got the biryani first, then the Porotta and then the starter. I was quite disappointed with the Chicken 65 though especially since this is the origin place. It was a bit chewy, but flavour was on point. What disappointed me was the quantity of chicken served. It was a very small portion served in a very big plate which made it look even worse. The Biriyani was decently good but again, it was served with only one tiny piece of mutton. But on pointing it out, the waiter was good enough to replace it. But the replaced quantity was also not satisfactory. The day was saved with the Ceylon Porotta which was amazing. In desserts, we had the caramel custard and fruit salad. Fruit salad was good but the caramal custard had a strong flavour of eggs which was not well balanced.

Overall, I'd say a hit and miss. Didn't live up to the hype but the Ceylon Porotta saved the day. Decent experience but I think the Chicken 65 game has to be stepped up for people who come here looking for the classic dish.

Dinner in the Mount Road Buhari with newly renovated.we started with buhari special soup instead of our constant pick Hot & sour/Sweet corn which was quite dissapointment.Starters we ordered Grill chicken and Barbeque,Paneer Tikka - All these were wonderful meal that was perfectly served by our waiter.Later,Due to vegan in our squad we had to go for cashew pulav and palak paneer.The Non-Veg were mixed friedrice,Chicken friedrice,Wheat parotta,Chilli chicken and Mutton rogan ghosh.Dessert-Buhari Falooda

Food 4/5-was exactly on time, hot (not warm) food especially starters
Service 3.5/5- Even though the food was served on time.There was lack of communication from server.The north indian worker can’t understand native language.It is well understood
Ambience 4/5- Open eatery with full pack crowd makes some uncomfortable
Quality 4/5-oh so good.

Personally i feel this is the best buhari which tells their history other branches are waste. All in all, a perfect Dinner !!

I was here with a friend for a quick snack. We ordered mutton samosa(3/5), bun butter jam(4/5) and Iranian tea(5/5). Yes, the Iranian tea was that good. Want to visit the place again for either lunch or dinner. Will update this review when I do.

Buhari established in 1951, exudes a vintage charm that adds to its unique character. The recent renovation has elevated its ambiance, creating a visually appealing dining space. The menu boasts distinctive flavors, showcasing a culinary journey that spans decades. The experience comes with notable drawbacks. Despite the rich history, the portion sizes are disappointingly small, leaving diners wanting more. This, coupled with the exorbitant prices, creates a dissonance between the dining experience and its value. While the renovation enhances the aesthetics, the overall value proposition falls short. Despite the flavorful journey and pleasing ambiance, the restaurant may struggle to justify its steep prices and limited portions, making it a choice for special occasions rather than regular dining.

Bubari Hotel on Mount Road in Chennai presents a favorable dining experience, easily accessible and well-located. The standout dish, Chicken 90, is a culinary delight, leaving a lasting impression with its exquisite taste. Exploring their Biriyani was also a good choice, offering a satisfying blend of flavors. One notable positive aspect is the efficient service, surpassing the pace of other restaurants in the vicinity. However, the Lemon Mint failed to meet expectations, lacking the refreshing quality anticipated. A significant downside was the cleanliness issue with the washbasin, detracting from the overall dining experience. Regrettably, a concerning incident occurred when the main person taking our order subtly requested tips. While tipping is discretionary, the expectation felt somewhat ingrained, raising discomfort. This stands out as the primary negative point, suggesting a potential need for improvement in the approach towards gratuities. Despite this, Bubari Hotel stands as a good choice for its location, delectable Chicken 90, and efficient service, with room for enhancement in certain areas.

Great experience of having such a delicious food here. Had wonderful time. Service is so fast. Must try Biriyani here. And mutton soups are just frenzy. At the end, always try maximum deserts. Worth the visit.

I had the pleasure of dining at Bhuhari Anna Salai, and it was an absolute delight! The star of the show was undoubtedly the biryani, an exquisite dish that left me craving for more. Every bite was a burst of flavors that justified every penny spent. The Paya was a treat for the taste buds, and the chapathi was flawlessly executed. My visit happened late at night, around 11:30pm, and despite the hour, the restaurant offered a commendable selection. I decided to try their biryani, parotta, and chapathi, and I was not disappointed. The panner butter masala and butter chicken were undeniably the highlights of the meal, leaving me practically licking my fingers. However, it's important to note that dining at Bhuhari Anna Salai might not be feasible for everyone due to the relatively higher prices. But the quality of the dishes and the overall ambiance truly make it a worthwhile indulgence for special occasions. The restaurant's exterior is a sight to behold, drawing you in with its captivating design. The interior ambiance complements the experience perfectly, making it a complete sensory delight. One small drawback is the limited parking space available. While the restaurant's eye-catching appeal might attract a lot of diners, finding a parking spot could be a challenge. On occasion, you might find yourself circling around to find a suitable place to park. In conclusion, Bhuhari Anna Salai is a culinary gem that offers a delectable journey for your taste buds. Despite the higher prices and parking constraints, the outstanding flavors and inviting ambiance make it a must-visit for those special moments when you're seeking a memorable dining experience.

we went to the mughals buhari restaurant on the right side of the buhari restaurant and the ambience is too good and feels like royal …with the design and structure they have on the 3rd floor….the food was also very fresh and they make it fresh and the serving was very nice too…Especially the mutton biryani the one of the best i had in recent times during my travel in different countries…tried the kesari falooda… in veg we tried falafal with hummus which is awsome and fresh too…little expensive than the one we have from buhari

The chicken Manchow soup was delicious, delivering a satisfying taste. The chicken 65 was cooked to perfection, with a perfectly balanced masala. The Labanaise grilled chicken was tender, juicy, and infused with delightful marinade and masala that left a peppery punch in your throat. Additionally, the soft fudge provided a delectable and enjoyable experience. The faluda was not up to the mark. Only the upper ice cream was good the remaining only colors.
