We love Savya Rasa for their excellent representation of regional South Indian cuisine. The dark horse on their menu is undoubtedly their Kongu mutton biryani. Made with a short-grain rice–‘seeraga samba’, which is a speciality rice of the Kongunadu region, this biryani features tender mutton pieces flavoured with coconut milk, served with a side of coconut pachadi. Their Thalassery meen biryani–made with seer fish, and the kozhi chatti biryani–made with chicken, are also worth a try. Keep in mind that these biryanis are spiced with regional flavours, and traditionally made with short grain rice–which makes them different from their Northern counterparts, but no less delicious.
