Naatukozhi briyani - it's just regular chicken. That's okay. Mutton roast - taste was good but it would have better if the meat was cooked a bit more Idly with goat curry - worst! Idlies were hard, goat pieces were harder, chutneys not good, curry had too...Read More

Tried the Sunday breakfast buffet and it was delicious. The highlight was the live dosa station, we tried the ghee roast dosa, pesarattu, gongura, cheese and the karam dosa all of them are very fresh and tasty. The Poori and Chole curry combination was also...Read More

A severe let down after all our friends gave glowing reviews about this place. The food was blah, not satisfying in any way. The veggie kurma had about 2-3 veggie pieces in it, and the gravy was flat. Looks like the same gravy is also used for...Read More

We've been to this place three times. The most recent visit was on the day of their grand opening at the new location. For the sake of fairness I've included the review of my previous two visits below the most recent one. They definitely seemed overwhelmed during their grand reopening day. The food was no where near to the quality we'd gotten used to and the main reason we visited them again. We ordered the same entrees as we had on the previous couple of occasions. The bone soup was served cold and we'd to request them to re-heat it. The mutton curry was not seasoned well and the parathas were thickly layered. Our server was polite and accepted that they were not at their best and gave us a 50% discount on our dinner bill. We ended up not having a good dine in experience at their new location. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Review for previous visit (5 stars) Exceptional chettinad cuisine. If you want to taste it go here. We've been here a couple times so far. We've had: Appum with mutton keema: Exceptional Ghee roast masala dosa: Great flavour. Crisp. Cooked with generous ghee Paper roast with masala: Great flavor again. Crisp. The masala(potato) was had the right amount of spices and was mashed to perfection (not too much. not too little) Masala chai: Indded had the masala. Mutton bone broth: Soul food. If you miss your mutton soup at home this is the one to go for. We ended up ordering more of this. The chef was generous enough to give additional meat pieces for our second helping. Iddiappam with mutton: This was our first time having this entree. It did not disappoint but left us craving for more next time. Chicken lollipop: Well cooked tasted as expected. Paratha: Extremely tasty. Took us back to India in a bite. Mutton Kotu curry: Delicious. Must try. Goat curry: (goes with the paratha) All meat entrees were cooked to perfection and had individually distinguishable flavors and taste. They have are currently moving to a new location as I write this review but we're confident that the taste will move too. This is the only place that is open between lunch and dinner hours. Ambience: Will update once I visit their new location Quantity: Generous Price point: Costlier as compared to other places but worth every dime. Parking: Will update once I visit their new location

We are going to this new location after it moved from its previous one. We always enjoy their extensive non-vegetarian tiffin options on their huge menu. We started with the Cauliflower Manchurian and Masala Kalaki. The Cauliflower Manchurian was tasty, although not saucy like other...Read More

Food was good. Only one small qualm was that "nattukozhi roast" was made with regular broiler chicken and not country chicken. Maybe the name of the item should be changed in the menu. But otherwise, delicious food! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Good place to catch up some South Indian food. The service is amicable but the food is delayed to a point where you will start feeling frustrated. The food taste is good but not the best South Indian I tasted. The price is also a bit...Read More
