This neighbourhood is home to food joints selling the tastiest and budget-friendly beef dishes in Chennai. Dashamakan is often hailed as the 'Beef Lover's Paradise' in Chennai, and for good reason. According to a Sample Registration System Baseline Survey conducted some years ago, an overwhelming 97.65% of Tamil Nadu's population leans toward non-vegetarian cuisine. When it comes to satisfying their carnivorous cravings, Dashamakan stands out as the top choice. Even during the trying times afte the COVID-19 lockdown, residents could be seen patiently queuing up at these establishments, showcasing their unwavering affection for these unique dishes.
Whether you crave Beef Curry, Beef Biryani, Beef Fry, Beef Gravy, Beef Kebab, or the beloved Beef 65, this area boasts a diverse array of beef preparations. While a kilo of mutton can cost as much as INR 1,000, beef is available at a fraction of the price, ensuring accessibility for a broader audience. Similar to how Ambur is celebrated for its Biryani, Dashamakan has carved a niche for itself. It has become a pilgrimage site for food enthusiasts seeking the genuine taste of Chennai-style beef delicacies.
Dashamakan's appeal extends beyond the local populace. It draws in visitors from neighbouring cities like Madurai and Trichy. Whether you're a bodybuilder in need of protein, an IT professional yearning for comfort food, or an individual on a tight budget, or if you're a Malayali longing for the taste of your mom's Beef Ularthiyathu, Dashamakan's beef shops are open and ready to serve. For those who long for a taste of beef in a city where it's not always readily available, this destination is indeed a culinary sanctuary and a must-visit spot.
