This iconic Chennai landmark has spawned many branches, but those in the know head to the original outpost on Mount Road that began in 1951 when its founder Mr. A. M. Buhari returned to Chennai from Colombo with his eponymous restaurant post Indian independence. Back in the day, the restaurant was associated with a number of firsts, the first espresso machine, the first jukebox, and the first eatery to serve its patrons in fine, imported bone china. Today though, Buhari is perhaps most famous as the place where the chicken 65 was invented. I tasted their creation and was surprised to find it unlike any other version that passes off as a dish. Also partook of the other popular rituals here - the bun butter jam, mutton samsa with tea, mutton biryani et al.
I hope you enjoy this episode from Gourmet On The Road, Chennai. Take care; stay safe and strong. Happy eating!

The number 65 is so engrained in to Tamil culture...Last week my Mom asked me to fill Form 65 for her Bank account 😮...turned out it's form 15 ❤❤

True Indian you are
Even for a tea ☕️ and some snacks . Beautifully reviewed kripal sir 😍
Good morning dear Kripal - Wow it’s the Buhari restaurant vlog & yet another favourite place for me 👍 Brilliant introduction about the restaurant 💯💯💯 Yes it’s a wonderful backstory on why & how one of India’s most popular Chicken 65 was inaugurated in Buhari 👍👍 Wow the restaurant was way ahead of its time when it was established in Chennai 💯 Ha ha - The Chicken 90 was first dished out in the year 1990 . So now we have their famous Bun Butter jam with Chai 👍 ( even I don’t like the malai in tea or lassi ) which I simply love , especially with the white butter . Loved the way you relished it 👍👍 I agree it’s a simple dish yet super tasty 😋 Good crunch on the Mutton Samosa 👍 Yes it would be awesome to have a kitchen tour . Their Chicken 65 is to live for and it brings back such nostalgic memories. We , my cousins and friends used to parcel it at times and have it with some relaxing spirits 😀. I am drooling simply looking at you enjoying the dish with their special / secret masala 😋😋 I prefer the Chicken 65 over the Chicken 90 . Next dish is the Mutton Biryani with Raita . It’s a modest Biryani in terms of flavour and your review is spot on ( nothing new 😀) Wow what a brilliant way to decode the Mango & date based condiment . The fat in Tamil is called as Kozhupu 😀The typical Ceylon Paratha is better off without the ketchup. It’s an iconic place for sure as it has stood the test of time and that’s a testament to their culinary heritage 👍 It’s possibly the first time I am watching you have a Cassata Ice cream . Quite reasonably priced . Yet to have my lunch and this vlog is a perfect appetiser and has made my stomach semi ready to have a scrumptious Saturday lunch . Thanks for taking me on a memory trip and thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful vlog . You also take care , stay healthy & blessed . Have a wonderful weekend and loads of love and respect 🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯

Hi Rajesh, am glad that we are covering many of your favourite Chennai spots. There is so much more to cover in the city and we hope to on future trips. Btw, am sure you've caught the episodes from our earlier Chennai visits.I quite liked the Buhari chicken 65, it was just the juiciness of the bird and the spice rub that shone as opposed to the versions that you get elsewhere, where there are so many ingredients. The cassata was a first for me too. Have a great Sunday. Cheers!

Yes I am aware of your previous visits to Chennai , nonetheless what’s dished out today stays more in the mind and immediately kindles the good memories in the mind 👍 So I was correct that it was the first time you were tasting the Casatta IC on GOTR . Have a wonderful weekend 👍
Wow memories refreshed, I lived in Anna Salai, Mount Road for 4 months, walking distance from Buhari and Zaitoon.
Awesome vlog sir 😊😊😊😊
chicken 65 is the street food item of Mumbai 65th on the menu on a Desi chinese stall/cart in Mumbai.
Welcome to Chennai for unique dishes Buhari's is an iconic place for tasty dishes visited this place many times and the culinary chef Kripal sir is tasting these dishes with so much vibe and the ingredients goes into these dishes awesome vlog Thanks Kripal sir 👍👍🌹🌹🌹🌹👍👍
Amazing vlog sir. Love from Canada
I had been to Buhari near Madras central station in 1970 & enjoyed their samosas, have not been to Madras in ages but feeling nostalgic
Even Buhari Butter Chicken is spot on. Probably the best non veg available in Chennai
Yes iconic nostalgic Buhari of my childhood but today degenerated into a figment of its past I remember presidency college days opposite its Marina branch We used to cut classes sit smoke gulping its red chai in china cups and excellent cakes kept in a huge tray paid on what you take ,their tiny samosas were to die for and Biriyani exotic . Love your description
Kripal... undoubtedly one of the legendary eateries of Madras❤❤❤had lots of Nostalgia for my family that we have passed through generations...My grandma,My Mom, Myself along with my better half 😊...Thank you for covering...

That looks a lot like "tandoori chicken" in the states! Interesting.
Thanks very much. Enjoyed Buhari this evening , Bun butter jam & samsa gave a good start then idiyappam mutton Biriyani was surprisingly good, preferred Chicken 90 instead of 65 for the healthy butter (no refined oil) option and finally Dum Tea ❤
They forgot to mention the Buhari s which was on the Marina Beach. Now in its place is the Marina swimming pool. So many pleasant evenings was spent by us as a family sitting on the terrace over looking the sea and the sea breeze blowing. It was a divine experience but sadly that branch was discontinued. Eating those Samos as and the juke box belting out music of yesteryears it is an unforgettable memory
Chennai welcomed you thank you for coming vanakam 🙏

"Chicken 65" (Chicken fry using the local masalas) was listed as the 65th dish in the British army officers canteen's menu in Chennai, it became popular as "Chicken 65" as it was easier to order.
You should also try mutton Paya and idiyappam or parota at hotel Samco in Chennai
Happy Eating 😋.... Yummy delicious and tempting food ❤

Iconic place
The Buhari in Sri Lanka is stil very famous
It is pronounced Samosaa and not Samsa. I ate in this restaurant in 1970 on a visit to Chennai from New Delhi. It was a popular restaurant even then.

there is another story on chicken 65 is, the age of chicken used for the dish?? anyone heard??!!🐔
There was a rumour that former CM Annadurai , K Kamaraj used to eat here and drink rose milk after at a milk bar close by
Good afternoon all friends
Dr Rajkumar and his family favorite hotel. Should visit once
Delicious and mouthwatering vlog
Do check out the indo Burmese cuisine of chennai
Guys this is very famous restaurant in Chennai. The Dr. Raj kumar nd his family r very regular customer to this Buhari when they were in Chennai.
Don't find uniqueness culinary experience who had fond recipes chicken 65 or 90 because still found in Pista house & paradise in hyderabad, . I my self found its replica of city of pearl.
Wow😮
Not mount rd this is ANNA SALAI, one an only madras (chennai).👍👍👍.
There are several interesting theories about the name ‘Chicken 65’: Some say it was a menu item number for soldiers in the Chennai canteen. Others believe it refers to the use of 65 chili peppers or that the chicken used was 65 days old. Another theory is that the chicken was marinated for 65 days or cut into 65 pieces2. Regardless of the origin of its name, Chicken 65 has become a beloved dish across India, with variations like “Paneer 65” or “Gobi 65” for vegetarians Source - Copilot 😄
Love the way you say Samsa
Chennai has a wonderful culinary history. A great place to be. The video aside the background music is well choosen!

The worst Biryani I ever ate was in Bombay( back then 28 years ago) I was working for Abbott labs and thought wow biryani …… and do you know what I got ?.,,, plain rice with one piece of chicken which even Americans won’t touch😂😂😂. I am glad you had atleast what is called a Biryani. Never order Biryani in Mumbai
All that food coloring is not safe.
Kripal...I am not complaining, but try to converse in English when you are out of karnataka..I feel it's unnecessary to speak in Hindi when you come across Muslim owners.
Jai hind
Aaaaaaaaaaa
Looks like an overdose of nonveg food reviews. Easily more than 10 nonveg in this year. Please give us poor vegetarians, too, something to relish.
Biryani in buhari has been nothing to below average. They lost the taste of it for years.
Buhari owner is going to be in jail soon for money laundering and drug peddling 😂
