Still the best "kara kuzhambu" I ever had :). My only complaint is getting seat for weekday lunch. It has gotten to the point that it is impossible to get in unless go there close to 2pm for lunch!
Craig PooleSeptember 7, 2014Great food. It was our first meal there and staff was helpful to explain a number of dishes. Masada Dosage and chicken tikki masala were our favorite dishes on this trip!
Mohammed MoosaMarch 24, 2013As authentic as south Indian food can get. It got me feeling nostalgic as I was eating. Make sure to try the house special Thallapa Kaattu style mutton biriyani, it was spot on!
Mayank AnkarajuApril 26, 2015Really good parrota salna and onion kulcha. Well done restaurant with great atmosphere. Friendly staff.
Dallas ObserverAugust 4, 2014Chennai breaks the mold of the stereotypical suburban Indian restaurant with a clean, modern décor, and a lack of lunch buffet. Read more
Navjot SinghNovember 11, 2016Great Indian buffet , they have huge choice on the table and the food is good to taste
Narendran MuruganJune 8, 2013Try the non veg thali. Lot of food and lot of things to try. Traditional South Indian food at its best.
Shreyas AnandDecember 8, 2015Good place for some authentic south indian filter coffee! The sambar tastes good too :)
PrasadDecember 1, 2011Great food! Friendly service! Try the dosa with the chicken curry! And the Neer Morr (Salted Buttermilk) is awesome!
Margarita AndersonNovember 13, 2014They've moved to:3301 Preston Rd, Suite #8, Frisco, TX 75034 New location in Frisco (near Stonebriar mall, first left after Gaylord 972-378-1300.
Awesome food especially non veg stuffs with authentic South Indian taste
Awesome food. King fish fry is pretty good. Very friendly staff.
Arnab MaityMay 12, 2013Very snobbish owner. A humble request for a better table gets rejected in a very unparliamentary manner. Food is nothing astronomically different then other Indian good place.
Mike DDecember 20, 2015Where were you when I was in Chennai?!? Instead I had to eat fried chicken at Marry Browns!!!
Manav ShahNovember 27, 2013Not that good food for veggies; but heard a lot of praises abt the non-veg ones! A litle bit pricey though.
