A catchy name to attract attention when the whole country is hooked on to the best selling Shiva trilogy. The first outlet down-south of the famous chain from Mumbai (since 1952), it is slowly emerging as a must-visit during weekend for the North-Indian loving Chennaites.
4 out of 5 - "The Plate Cleaned Off" ( Check pic for proof! )
Its located in Chetpet atop French Loaf, a few blocks from Shoppers' Stop. A treat for the stomach and no hole in the pocket blended with its pure vegetarian status gives ample reasons for traditional tamizh and sindhi families to have their family gathering at this place.
I went on a special occasion, my mother's birthday and gobbling was the order of the day. The feast began with a course of sweet corn soup which is great. I thought the paneer kebab will give me a high and thats when the dahi puri arrived. Immediately fell in love with the place. Fresh homemade yoghurt and an awesome combination of chutneys took dahi puri to a new level. Later on I learnt that the place is known for its amazing chaats though they are a wee bit expensive. Special buy one get one free on weekdays from 4pm-7pm should be put to proper use.Their speciality is north indian cuisine though they do have a chinese and continental spread. My brother ordered a pizza and to be honest it was good and fresh. Garlic Naan with mixed vegetables and dal makhani compromised a humble main course after the grand opening. The king of a feast who arrives at the fag end, Mr.Dessert occupies a small section of the menu and to my disappointment they had run out of rasmalai that day and had to settle for malai kulfi though I hardly doubt licking the spoon clean is the sort of treatment given to a dish arriving in your plate out of compulsion and not choice.
Overall a great dining experience for a small price of Rs 500/- per head though must say they can invest on their ambience and convert the place into a beautiful restaurant rather than having this costly but crowded hotel look. Surely a multiple visit place though think twice before taking your date :-) Single visit has given me the confidence to give it a honest not so modest -
