Authentic Indian Restaurant in McKinney TX with Traditional Salem-Style Biryani
What makes Salem RR Biryani special in McKinney TX?
Salem RR Biryani is an authentic Indian restaurant in McKinney, Texas, known for traditional Salem-style biryani prepared using slow dum cooking, premium basmati rice, and original South Indian spice blends.
Established in 1987 in Chennai, India, the brand brings decades of culinary tradition, bold flavor, and heartfelt hospitality to North Texas, proudly serving McKinney, Frisco, Allen, Plano, and surrounding communities.
1987From India to McKinney, Texas
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.
That 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:
Consistency in traditional cooking
Authentic flavor in every batch
Affordable pricing for everyday guests
Community trust earned over decades
Now, that same legacy of authentic Indian restaurant values continues in McKinney, Texas.
