History

Established in 2003.

Chettinaad is situated in the South-​east of Tamilnadu state, India. The Chettinaad cuisine reflects the lifestyle of the people from Chettinaad. Essentially vegetarians, the people of Chettinaad imbibed a taste for non-​vegetarian food from there travels to South East Asia and these influences are visible. The Chettinad styles of preparing chicken, meat and sea food have become immensely popular. The taste of the ingredients ids not swapped by spices and it is ideally not «hot». Locally available rich spices such as coriander, cumin, pepper, fenugreek, anise, and sweet stick are the ground and added judiciously to make each dish a gourmet’s treat. At Taste of Chettinad we have tried to bring you the authentic tastes of Chettinaad delicacies and hope that you enjoy the specially prepared cuisine.

There is a lot of action going on in this place. There are various pieces of art relating to Indian culture. I was treated to a Valentine’s Day meal here. It is not your traditional eatery, but my fiancé knows that I like good food ! We ordered the kottu roti and if my memory serves me correctly, the chicken vindaloo. The kottu roti came with a fried egg on top. The dish was spicy, I enjoyed it. There was a strong Taste of garam masala, a popular Asian spice which I’m not too fond of. The curry came with rice or bread, but our server was generous and gave both. I devoured the curry and rice. It tasted similar to something I would cook for myself.
All in all I liked the restaurant, but thought the prices were a little over the top. For instance the kottu roti was listed as an appetizer but it was for $ 10 or so. The food was very tasty and the service was stellar. The waitstaff was very attentive and the food came out promptly. I would suggest this eatery to others…

I will start by saying that they serve real authentic indian food.
They are really missing out on crowd because of their décor, setup and service.
I dont understand the glasses that hide the interior. It will be great if ppl can see from outside.
And the indoor needs to be fixed. No need of pamphlets, flyers at the door step. There is really no need for a big MILLER stand at the bar which really looks like a store room.
Food is awesome. Clean up the interiors and crowd will follow.
Good luck!!!

Visited today for lunch buffet. Read it is under new management since Jan 15.
Food was authentic south Indian, not Americanized Indian but full favors of south India. Everything was so wonderful. I am vegetarian so cant comment about non-​veg. There were additional 4 – 5 options on those. Vada was crispy and fresh. Sambhar was just rightly spiced. Idli was fresh, good options for chutnis, plenty of options for vegetarians. Pongal, paneer makhani, potato dry vegetable, coconut cauliflower, egg plant curry, puri, fresh naan served on table (I asked not to serve, weren’t sure we will be able to eat them with so much to offer), Dosa served on table with option of plain or masala dosa to chose from, both were good. Dahi wada was awesome. Sweets had fresh gulab jamuns, rasmalai was wonderful, mango ice cream was ok. This all for price of 12.49 + tax.
Overall, family had great time and I’ll surely go back.

I’ve been eating indian since 1987, food at this place is by far the worst I’ve ever eaten. Big mistake. The naan took 15 minutes to come to the table. Buffett was half empty, barely any meet, it looked like a vegetarian place. The icing on the cake was when the owner finished all his phone calls while walking between tables then he and his cook came and sat behind me and opened their loud mouths, with some language that was it for me. Never again

Wife and I went for lunch buffet on a Monday. Those more familiar with Indian food may have more to say, but we really liked everything we tried (which was most things on the buffet). Goat curry and chicken biryani were delicious. Overall a good experience and we would go again.

I organized the birth celebration party for my 2.5 month old son here. The management was very helpful and cooperative with us from day one. They helped suggest good dishes for our menu. They even allowed us to come and decorate the venue couple of hours before the party started.
Our guests appreciated the food and complimented us for the great party. There was a favorite menu item for everyone in the dinner buffet menu.
I especially liked the paneer tikka masala, kesari halwa, mango kulfi.
I would definitely suggest this place for weekend lunch buffet or organizing a party.

Very yummy south Indian food. Idli, masala dosa, rasam all were too good.
Mutton gravy and biryani were delicious.
Not to forget the gulab jamun for the desserts. A must visit for a soulful Indian delight.

Visited the place after a year hoping there would have been improvements made. But a big no!
I will not complain about the taste, its really good. Their chicken briyani was really good, tasted more authentic chettinad.
If you go during lunch time, you may have to eat what is left in the buffet or you gotta wait till your favorite dish is refilled. That will take a long time.
Hope the new management does something.

Had Chilli Chicken /​Gobi Manchuria and Utappam for a dinner night, Enjoyed the meal whatever we had tasted fresh and tasty. The service was attentive as well, did not have to wait much. We will come back for the lunch buffet, heard great things about the menu. Check out the biryani that they have on Friday for lunch.

My last review was kind of harsh. I thought about it after the fact and we may not have gotten sick from the food. Who knows, could have been a virus our something.
I guess they’re under new management, so should be good to try again.

Went there last week with my family for dinner. We tried couple of dishes cutlet, fish fry, grilled chicken, Vada, Dosa, loved the food. Both quality and quantity were great. Food was fresh and the staff was really nice and polite.
They have some very rare authentic South Indian dishes, which u must try.
Few of my friends have been there for Lunch buffet and told me that it’s awesome.
Overall a good place to go for a lunch buffet or dinner.

best south indian or to be more precise, tamil nadu style food. week end buffet was good. esp the fish fry and pepper chicken… tasted just like chettinaad cuisine.
the vegeterian curries were also good. gobi manchurian, vadas & all food were fresh.
had to go orders from them on week days and its wasnt bad at all.
if you have been to regular indian buffets and got bored of same menu then this is the place to go.

Had dinner here with my wife, and our meal was fantastic.
We started with the tandoori shrimp — which was very good — and I moved onto the Chettinaad Chicken Kozambu. The waitress said it was a coconut based curry, and it was delicious. The coconut flavor was very subtle, and it was spicy enough where I noticed it but did not feel overpowered. I would probably have licked the bowl if I weren’t in polite company.
My wife had the Chicken Masala, and she enjoyed it immensely. I tried it and was impressed as well.
Our meal came with a generous side of rice and naan bread.
The portions sizes were good. I finished my meal, but we took half of my wife’s meal and some naan bread home.
Our server made sure that our glass was never empty, and was very polite. The restaurant was also very clean.
We look forward to dining here again.

Just left without eating cause a bug showed up in our vada and when we told the waitress her gut reaction and response was to pick the bug out with her fingers.
Yep. In front of us– as if we would eat that after that?! Uh no thanks… We got up and left. Thankfully didn’t even take a sip of water there!
Also to top it off, the waitress had an attitude when mom asked for a straw. Which she never even brought and when mom asked AGAIN she said «it’s on its way». Lol– but we’re lucky we never got the straw so we don’t even need to regret drinking the water lol

AVOID this place. If you are not an Indian avoid this place like a plague. The place has rude people in service and kind of racist.
We were the only non Indians in the place. They took orders of everyone else who came after us and kept us waiting, upon asking the attendant, instead of apologizing he said that they are little busy.
The food is below average and not worth the lousy service.
The best places in and around this area are Mugalai, India Palace, Nandini, Iravat etc…
