Our Story
Salem RR Biryani began not with ambition, but with hunger.
In 1987, RR Tamil Selvan opened a small roadside stall in Broadway, Chennai, with savings of just ₹8,000. After leaving school early and working from the age of twelve, he understood the value of a meal earned through struggle.
hat stall served homemade chicken biryani and Chicken 65 using his mother’s recipe, a recipe built on patience, balance, and authentic South Indian flavor.
Today, that same traditional Salem-style biryani recipe is proudly served at Salem RR Biryani in McKinney TX, prepared with the same care and respect for heritage.
From a roadside stall to an authentic Indian restaurant in North Texas, the journey has always been rooted in honest cooking and consistent quality.
After facing local challenges, Tamil Selvan rebranded the restaurant as Salem RR Biryani, honoring his hometown Salem and his initials RR.
From an eight-seat eatery in Tamil Nadu to more than 25 outlets across India, the growth was built on simple principles:
