Nice experience. Awesome atmosphere!! Felt limited varieties for the price! But the served items were of superior taste.. need to book prior. Another good thing they will ask for garlic and other food items related allergic nature before serving it.
The best Indian vegetarian restaurant I have been to so far. The food was sensational (and I am not vegetarian).
One gentleman was extremely kind and seeing I am obviously a novice, gave me a lot of information about the dishes and pairing that would go well together. That was really helpful.
Firstly the restaurant is completely based on the temple theme no doubt at all top notch interior design , ambience just feels like your inside the temple one of the best veg authentic South Indian restaurant in Chennai we have ordered 2 thali called Preethi Bhojan which cost 1550 (excluding tax) per person, it feels like food possession it keep on coming till your tummy filled up, food's where about absolutely delicious.
Definitely worth checking out once for sure!
Great place to have great vegetarian food (mostly south Indian cuisine with some touches of other regional flavours from pan-India) at a beautifully decorated place with solid logistics and good conversational atmosphere.
If you're a large group (more than 20 ppl) it gets to be a bit complex to execute all details successfully.
The plus points:
Superb ambience
Beautiful welcome and waiting area
Clean fast spaciou lifts
Solid parking logistics with attentive staff
Welcome doorman who has good handling skills at main door to first floor fine dining restaurant area
Food taste was really good, quite a lavish menu with of variety to see.
Starters were vadam (fried rice crackers), kaju kesar katli (sweet), crispy corn, then oraange juice.
After this rasam-vada arrived as appetiser. 😋 yum.
Then a primary plate with Kulcha paneer gravy sabji and 3-4 more vegetable raita type items arranged on one pretty plate.
Then variety rices came fast.. a bit fast for my liking haha (will explain later).
Their excessive rushed speed of food service at this stage (variery rice) was a little opposite of what one thinks is "fine dining". But this is one of those localized Indian meanings.
I think they mean -- tasty food served in fine silver plate, vessels, etc and in beautiful ambience. However panthi-style fast delivery is a challenge for people over 45, in my humble opinion.
Now back to some important things.
Desserts were quite good, Payasam, Gulab Jamun and Butterscotch ice cream (this flavor may vary).
They should serve gulabjamun and ice cream at same time , wasn't that way for us, but not a huge deal.
Is the menu available to the diners at the table in print or QR. -- No.
Does food need to be served at such rapid speed? No.
Was excellent wheelchair friendly logistics there - YES.
Were noise levels just right-- YES YES
Food taste -- YES 😋
Quantity - Perfect.
Minor issues: Our reservation was at 130 and most of our group (19 out of 24)had all arrived by 135. We were not seated till 150pm. Providing a welcome lemonade in waiting area will vastly enhance the experience imo.
They were very kind to ask about onion/garlic preferences (Jain styl/Asaaram food) so that was sweet of them and 4 of our party appreciated that 👏
Value proposition wise...I am able to clock this experience at more than 4☆ overall. I might have to try it in a smaller group to see how it goes!
One of the best vegetarian restaurants I’ve ever visited! 🌿
The authentic South Indian flavours were simply amazing — every dish, from the soup to the main course, was bursting with taste and freshness. The food truly captured the essence of South Indian cuisine.
The ambiance was pleasant, and the service was top-notch, making the entire dining experience even more enjoyable.
Highly recommended for anyone who loves authentic vegetarian food with great hospitality!
