Buhari Hotel Restaurant (Anna Salai Main Branch)
புகாரி ஹோட்டல்
An iconic eatery operating on Anna Salai since 1951, claiming to be the inventor of Chicken 65, open until late night.
An established restaurant at 83 Anna Salai. Its official website states it has been operating here since 1951 and claims to have invented Chicken 65 in 1965—a widely circulated claim, though it is the restaurant's own narrative. Must-orders include Chicken 65, Mutton Biryani, and butter jam buns served with tea. It has both air-conditioned and non-air-conditioned sections. Reviews are mixed, with some complaining about slow service and less-than-clean restrooms, while others find the prices on the higher side; avoiding peak hours is recommended. About 1,000 INR for two people. Open very late, making it great for late-night cravings.
Opening hours
Approx. 11:00–2:00/3:00 the next day (varies by platform, official website lists late-night hours)
