The food here is spicy and peppery, exactly what food from the"Chettinad" region should taste like. I have dined here plenty of times and this place always delivers. The chicken biryani is juicy, and the accompanying curries and flavorful. The vegetarian plate meal is a treat, and I really like the "vettu kozambu" that is served with the plate meal. The vecchu roti is authentic. The crab soup is really peppery and I highly recommend it. The potato balls (bondas) are great with the mint chutney. The dosas are good although Gurulakshmi is better. Sambhar and rasam are top notch. Some of the chicken starters are pretty oily though, so I would avoid them if you're into healthy living. Servers are polite and dishes are served pretty fast.
I noticed that a few reviewers claim that its a standard south indian restaurant and this is inaccurate. If you walk in, grab a dosa and walk out without actually trying any of the Chettinad dishes that the restaurant is actually known for, you're completely missing the point.
