The food was excellent from start to finish. We ordered the biryani, a couple of mutton dishes, parotta, chicken 65, and nandu puttu. Each dish had its own distinct flavor and was absolutely delicious. I’d like to give a special shoutout to the staff who made the experience memorable. They were incredibly friendly and attentive. They gave great recommendations while we were ordering. The ambience was warm and inviting. Easily one of the best restaurants in Chennai!
Service was outstanding, the staff were incredibly attentive without being intrusive. We tried non veg and veg meals, both were good and fresh. I highly recommend for the family crowd. The live music was a pleasant addition to the evening. Personally I loved mukkani ice cream, must try😍😍Great value for money!!!
Sometimes it’s just not Ok but great to have costly Meals. Worth it. Very Good Taste & Authentic Food. You’ll just Love everything that you order here. Name itself tells the food story of all the five states of South (AP, TN, Karnataka, Kerala & Telangana).
