Light House Restaurant — Restaurant in Tamil Nadu

The Light House Resto Café: A Lighthouse Guiding You Straight Into Disappointment Let me just begin by saying, if you're the type of person who enjoys burning your money while simultaneously punishing your taste buds, congratulations—The Light House Resto Café is your spiritual home. Because nothing screams "culinary catastrophe" quite like biting into what they dare call a "Chicken Burger" and being charged enough to trigger a mild existential crisis. First off, the name. The Light House. Sounds poetic, right? You picture a cozy seaside café, dimly lit, maybe some jazz playing in the background, and food that wraps your soul in a warm hug. NOPE. What you actually get is a flickering bulb of misery and a kitchen that apparently believes seasoning is a suggestion and pricing should be based on delusion. The Menu: Lies on Laminated Paper Let's start with the menu. It looks like it was designed during a blackout. Glossy plastic pages, random clipart of food no sane person would order, and prices so offensively high you need a moment of silence before proceeding. You’d think you’re looking at a fine dining setup—until you actually receive the food and realize you’ve been played. Chicken Burger: Rs. 329+ taxes. Yes, you read that right. For that amount, I expected a juicy, gourmet burger that would make me cry tears of joy. Instead, I got something that tasted like a sad sandwich slapped together by someone going through a personal crisis. The patty? Dry enough to qualify as modern art. The bun? Stale with the emotional texture of regret. It was the kind of burger that makes you want to file a missing flavor report. No sauce. No crunch. No mercy. I also had the audacity to order a soft drink, assuming, like any rational being, that it would cost under Rs. 50. Nope. Rs. 99. For soda. Not even chilled properly. Flat, sad, and served like an afterthought. It’s almost poetic how thoroughly they commit to disappointment. The Bill:beach Robbery Take a wild guess what four of those budget-killer burgers and four drinks cost me. A whopping Rs. 1797. And not at a beachfront five-star, but at a place that looks like someone tried to open a café in their living room and then forgot halfway through. I don’t even know if the chairs matched. And if you thought the food was the biggest scam, wait until you see how casually they slap on an 85 rupee "extra charge" like it's the most natural thing in the world. For what, exactly? Breathing their recycled air? Ambience: Dim, Dreary, and Dead Inside .Let’s talk about the setting. Because if you’re going to be emotionally mugged by the food, the least they can do is offer a decent view, right? Nope. The decor is a confusing medley of half-hearted attempts at aesthetics. Dim lighting so you can’t see the misery on your own face. Plastic chairs that creak louder than your spirit breaking with each bite of that overpriced monstrosity they call a burger. And the acoustics? Perfect for picking up the sound of your soul weeping. Service: Ghosted by the Staff Ah yes, the service. Ever wanted to know what it feels like to be utterly invisible? Pull up a chair at The Light House. The staff disappears the moment you place your order, reappears after a biblical wait, and stares at you like you’re the one who made the burger taste like despair on a bun. I wouldn’t call it slow service—I’d call it a hostage situation. The Comparison That Hurts Now let me rub some extra salt in this open wound. I went to another place after this disaster: Drizzle by th The Light House Resto Café is a masterclass in how not to run a restaurant. The food is forgettable, the pricing is laughable (if you're into financial masochism), and the overall experience? About as comforting as a tax audit. I went in hungry, came out furious, and lighter by nearly two grand for the pleasure of being scammed in . Rating: 0.5/5 (And that 0.5 is for the plastic menu cover which, ironically, had more flavor...

Unlike Goa, Chennai doesn't have too many fancy decor food places overlooking the beach. So this was a pleasant surprise as I was hungry and looking for a place near Elliots/Basanth Nagar beach that is not a tiny food stall/restaurant.

Suddenly from a distance I saw a place with a nice terrace sitting area empty on the 3rd floor. I went towards it & found the restaurant was open. I was glad, I went up & ordered. The food tasted mediocre but the staff was polite & the place was wonderful. They didn't have lemons so when I asked for it, it took them 20mins to get it, but I appreciate the effort cuz my server had to go to a different shop to get it for me. Upon asking he also re-heated my food before I added lemon to it 👍🏻 thank you.

They have a cute lighthouse that you can climb on the 3rd floor. Have a look at the media attached to my review to get a better idea. They are a new place so I'll cut them some slack, I'll give them some time & then will visit again. Hopefully food...

Never ever go to this place unless you want to waste your money. They charge as if they are running a seven stat hotel. Never order the food before seeing the price in the menu card because they charge triple the amount for every possible dish that you are known.(eg : 200rs for a normal Lemon juice).

Atleast for name sake they need to show justice in the taste, service, ambience where none of it can be found in this place.

What I feel is that, they are trying to circulate some black money through this business. If you visit once definitely you'll get that feeling which I highly recommend...
