Manjula Janakiraman had a treasure trove of recipes passed on to her by her mother-in-law. These authentic cooking formulas have been a vital part of kitchens in south India.
With these secret recipes Manjula started catering food to companies and in 2006 opened her own restaurant Mudaliars Arcot Kitchen.
“In this restaurant, we celebrate the culture of Mudaliars. We serve authentic dishes and use no artificial flavours,” says Pawan Kumar Janakiraman, Manjula’s son. Both want to carry forward his mother’s tradition.
After moving from one place to another, the restaurant has found a perfect space on Santhome High Road. “We have always been located around the Santhome area and hence our food is quite popular here.
Last year we moved to this new location and the dine-in area is under renovation to improve facilities. Right now, we are only doing door deliveries and take away food,” he says.
Their menu includes dosas, chapattis, biriyani and a range of curries. “We have a small menu. However, we focus on the quality. Chicken dishes are our speciality.
There are certain dishes that can be found only here. For instance, our Pepper Arcot Chicken is very popular.”
