Kora Food Street — Restaurant in Tamil Nadu

Delicious food, disappointing attitude – with a side of confusion

We recently visited Kora Food Street with high expectations, and the food absolutely delivered. We ordered momos and pizzas—fresh, flavorful, and genuinely enjoyable. The overall vibe of the place was fun and energetic, perfect for hanging out with friends. Based on the food and atmosphere alone, this place easily earns 4 stars.

But the experience took a confusing (and honestly annoying) turn post-meal.

After eating, we were soaking in the lively ambiance and decided to click a few self-portraits using a small mirrorless camera (no tripods, no photoshoots—just us capturing some memories). The camera we used was barely larger than a mobile phone, and certainly far from any “professional gear.” But before we could get a few clicks in, a security guard abruptly stopped us and instructed us quite rudely to put the camera away or leave the premises.

Surprised by the aggression, we politely asked to speak to a manager and even offered to pay any applicable photography fee—because we genuinely didn’t want to break any rules. That’s when we were told we’d have to pay ₹2000 just to use the camera on the premises.

Now here’s where the irony really kicks in:

Our food bill was around ₹1000, but we were being asked to pay ₹2000 just to take a few pictures for our own memories.

We couldn’t help but wonder: • Is there a real, written policy that bans photography with mirrorless cameras? • If so, why is it not displayed anywhere at the entrance or inside the premises? • Why is there such a bias between mobile phone cameras (which people freely use all over) and small mirrorless cameras, especially when today’s phones often have better camera specs? • And most importantly, why was the approach so rude and abrupt when we were being respectful and cooperative?

The entire situation felt bizarre. At one point we joked, “Maybe next time we’ll just strap an iPhone to our camera and pretend it’s a tripod accessory.” 🤷‍♀️😂

This isn’t about avoiding a fee—we’re willing to respect policies, even pay a nominal amount if that’s the rule. But we’re left wondering if that ₹2000 was an official charge or just something made up on the spot, because it definitely wasn’t communicated professionally.

We strongly request Kora Food Street management to clarify: Is there an actual ₹2000 fee for using compact cameras? Why isn’t this policy transparent and displayed? Why are customers treated with hostility when a simple, polite explanation would suffice?

This place is wonderful when it comes to food and ambiance. But policies without transparency and staff without courtesy take away from an otherwise great experience.

We’d truly love to come back—if great food and great photos can go hand...

A Food Court Experience That Exceeds Expectations I rarely write reviews, but Kora Food Stret in Anna Nagar deserves recognition for creating something truly special. As visitors from the US dining cautiously after a long gap, we were pleasantly surprised by this innovative concept. What Makes KFS Stand Out: Multiple restaurants under one roof with convenient onsite parking. The management's confidence shines through visible quality assurance notices promising replacements or refunds – a level of customer commitment I've never seen elsewhere. Our Vegetarian Feast (6 adults, 2 kids): Madras Marina's Paneer Veggie Fried Rice: Perfectly cooked rice with tender paneer and well-balanced spices Hash Fries: Pure vegetarian, crispy fries that had our kids asking for more Amritsari Kulcha: Authentic and satisfying Three Cheese Pasta (The Cheese Cafe): Nearly perfect execution with ideal cheese blend Paneer Pizza (Kora Pizzeria): Solid choice with fresh toppings Chana Chat (The Chat Box): Piping hot and flavorful Paneer Manchurian: Outstanding starter – every bite was devoured Hot Badam Milk: Unique preparation served in clay tumbler with malai, perfectly warming The kids' play area with bounce and arcade games was a bonus – our 8-year-old wants to return daily! Bottom Line: Chennai's Anna Nagar community is fortunate to have this gem. KFS combines quality food, variety, convenience, and family-friendly amenities in one location. We'll definitely be back to explore more options.

Very highly recommended for families seeking diverse,...

We have gone to Anna nagar kora food Street at near 10 PM on Sunday and this was my first time to see all the restuarants and had an opportunity to taste them.firstly we visited a veg food shop named samania which is a pure veg restaurant,we ordered nearby 5 dosa with various types such as double layer panneer dosa, mushroom dosa like that and we got all these dosa within 5 to 7 mins perfectly cooked with a dip of coconut chutney and mint chutney,they don't have sambar which is commonly used while eating dosa,the chef told that we can eat that dosa even without any kulambu due to is stuffing which makes it like a sandwich to eat it seperately.then we have move of to to the other sections of restuarants which has been mainly comprised of non veg, everything we see in the menu is way too costly like if you order an atho(a famous Burma food which look like noodles 🍜)it cost 210 rs with tax,and if you just it near a local shop it cost nearly 50 to 60 rs even with more quantity,I am not saying that they should not charge the price like that,they are fixing their food price depending upon various factors such as geographical area, competition etc,what I am saying that is in kora food Street the price will be bit more costly rather comparing a normal restaurants , we have tried various foods like infusted 🐔 chicken momos,curry dosa, prawn 🦐, crab 🦀 lolipop fry etc.. meanwhile we have enjoyed having our meals in the kora...
