KADAL KITCHEN (T.Nagar) — Restaurant in Tamil Nadu

I came across this place as I was walking around the area looking for a familiar place I used to dine in. The restaurant’s architecture and tanks with live seafood outside caught my eye. I decided to take a peek inside and the smells wafted through the air made my choice to dine in. Based on the menu recommendation by Chef Raghavan, we had the Prawn Kizhi, Lobster Masala, Neisorum Prawn Thokkum, Calamari Chilli Fry as well as the Crab boneless and the Crab soup. All of the above items were absolute winners with the Prawn Kizhi being the star of the show ⭐️. Would Recommend anyone coming here to try it for sure!! Chef Raghavan is an absolute gem even customizing juices for us, his Unripe Mango juice and Cucumber 🥒 mixed with Lemon 🍋 juice were amazing. The service and ambience only serves to enhance the dining experience, will encourage anyone who hasn’t been here to come and try this...

We tried and liked the kadal kitchen (ECR) food ,ambience and over all good.

So this time we wanna try in Kadal kitchen (T nagar) We travelled almost 1 hr frm my place to reach T Nagar wanting to have good non veg lunch. ( around 1:30 pm)

Quite disappointing experience overall . As we enter the restaurant; it was smelling fowl . Ambience wasn't great with dim lighting and not at all appetising. Nxt comes the cleaning part; the server wasn’t cleaning the tables properly. I went for handwash area🧴 …. Here comes the real face of the restaurant …

Poor pathetic unhygienic wash ( hand wash) area. Unhygienic to the core. I couldn’t stand there for a minute even to click images.

I rushed out immediately and left the hotel without second thought.

The manager sitting in the counter wasn’t bother for any of these happenings..!! Cleanliness should be the top priority!!! Level up...

The ambience was very poorly maintained — it was neither neat nor clean. There was a constant unpleasant smell, and the furniture was also dirty. The service was completely disappointing. We didn’t receive plates until we asked for them, and even then, the food was served without any serving spoons or utensils. We had to request them each and every time.

The worst part was the food. They served us spoiled sambar, and when we pointed it out, they took it away without a word of apology. The fish fry was frozen and overcooked to a rubbery texture. The parotta seemed to be old and simply reheated — possibly frozen — as one side was cold and the other side was warm. None of the food tasted fresh. Only the mango fish curry had a decent taste, but even that raised doubts about...
