The Indie Frost — Restaurant in Tamil Nadu

I went to this restaurant along with my wife on January 1, 2025 evening (yesterday). The food was excellent though they were little pricey. However, my concern was not that.

We had our starters, sandwiches and pizza and all the time, we were never served drinking water!! Well, I understand even though ordering a water bottle is an option in the menu, serving water is the most common thing in Indian restaurants. I believe, none of the other dirers were offered water either. At the end, I requested for one and was provided. I am an old school guy who had only visited restaurants that offer water before they take their order. We are still living in the country that practices "Atithi Devo Bhava." A glass of water has to be offered even to those that visit the restaurant and end up leaving it not ordering anything (considering high price or for any other reasons).

We had our food at the outdoor facility they had. The ambience was good but not the best. I was clearly able to see cobwebs at many places which did not please us and neither would please most. Also there was a big frog jumping everywhere during my visit and a lady dining next to me jumped out of fear seeing the frog and it was removed by one of your employees only after I insisted. I understand people are coming there to enjoy their food in natural ambience but not amidst spiders and frogs. We are coming for dining and not visiting an insect/reptile house or a...

Went here yesterday with no expectations actually. Not having lunch, this was an intermediate plan (to have a snack before going out for lunch).

Ambience: I was surprised with the backyard set up they had, it reminded me of Goa shacks. There was light music, cats playing here and there, lot of plants and trees around.

Food: I ordered a protein punch called Ice Skating (since I was hungry), Jamun Shots and Peri Peri French Fries. Taste was really good, I did not expect premium taste from an unexpected place, but this was so good. The quantity overwhelmed me. Post this I did not need to go out for lunch as this filled me. Please be aware that this is not a place where they serve lunch though - Burgers are the maximum you get to a meal currently (They are working on adding more items to the menu). I felt like this is a smoothie bar.

Experience: The service was apt and prompt. The head chef there came to request feedback for the dishes and was very happy to hear I liked all of them, the French fries did not feel like it was oil fried there were no traces of oil (however the chef confirmed that it was oil fried).

This is a laid back place, you can come here and sit for hours together and work or just spend sometime with your loved ones/friends. This is an excellent place to talk to people and just connect.

It’s indeed a hide out place and you will not be able to notice it right away. We almost missed it even with maps on. Nice small cozy place where you can hangout and this is a different experience when compared to all other restaurants.

When we walked in, we were taken by surprise as there was no one to take our orders later to realize that there is a QR code that you have to scan and it will open a website requesting for your name and phone number. Once you are done providing that information and then select your order you will get a message in WhatsApp indicating the items you have ordered. When inquired if there is an alternate they suggested this is the easier option since manual orders can take longer to deliver and online option is easy to keep a track. 😊😊

Quality of the Pizzas were absolutely good for the price. We tried Panner tikka and Eight Jewels and it did not disappoint us at all.

Veg platter was little disappointing and definitely pricey for the combination that was served and would suggest to try something else instead of this.

Last but not the least, you have to pay for your water while you dine in, which was a little shocking as well as surprising and this is the first restaurant that I’ve heard and seen doing this. Why would you charge someone to have water when they are having food in your...
