Excellent food and service!! The seeraga samba biriyani was fabulous. We ordered naan and butter chicken masala combo. The naan was soft and chicken was tender and delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Loved the Thali Meals! The vegetarian thali was a delightful spread, featuring aromatic sambar, tangy rasam, flavourful kootu, crispy pappad, and soft chapathi. The Carrot Halwa was rich, warm, and perfectly sweet.

Great lunch experience! The veg set was fantastic. The curry fish head was delicious, with right amount of spiciness. Food portion was more than we expected. Service staff was very attentive and polite.

Great Chettinad food in Little India! We had the Anjappar Chicken and Paneer Butter Masala - both were very good. Good service, great food, and well priced!

Good food and value for money. Staff was appreciative and made my family especially baby feel comfortable with baby chair. Order the Briyani and Naan - super delicious!

The basmati rice was supremely delicious and aromatic. Though a tad dry, that was remedied by the spicy chicken curry which surprisingly did not overpower the subtle fragrance of the spices. What a treat!

Excellent Indian food! The Chicken Lollypop is a definite must-try. Well-spiced crispy batter coating each winglet, with a thin layer of fat underneath - absolutely delicious!

Excellent Indian fare at reasonable prices! Tucked away at a quiet corner of Race Course Road, definitely worth a try, especially if it's your first foray into trying Indian cuisine.

Soups, naans, chicken briyani, mutton curry, noodles, tandoori chicken, Gobi Manchurian - all recommended by our Chettiar friend and all good! Authentic Chettinad flavors!

Their Gajar Ka Halwa has reduced the carrot to a smooth chunky paste, and while devoid of garnishes, carries bright vegetal sweet milky spice flavour. Absolutely delightful!

This is some of the best Indian food we have tasted anywhere in the world. Service is great and there is not a long wait for your meal. Draft Tiger beer is on point!
