Zaitoon Restaurant, Adyar — Restaurant in Tamil Nadu

Review is about valet parking and zaitoon response.. they got the car and gave one card alone and parked car without sense near a bus stop and unfortunately car got hit by another car. Zaitoon response is they said they not responsible anything that happens to car . So if people going in car can fix in mind if anything happens to your car then restaurant won't mind much after that they will clearly say that they have mentioned in a stupid card that management is not responsible.Finally they gave a 2500 by giving discount in the food we ate from total bill 17500, for the overall expense of the car where it needs around 40,000 to complete replacement of car door with side mirror and front side painting.. food was good but not interested to give review about food who don't care their customer.. getting car key and parking in roadside as they wish and they say it's valet parking and customer is fool thinking car will be safe and if anything happens they will again fool customer saying they are not responsible.. worst mindset Worst valet parking experience.. they won't mind much if anything happens to car because of their carelessness and its clear they don't mind customer having a normal car seems. . Damage is 40,000 but they gave only 2500 as discount in bill .. I think they don't know the value of a car and treating it like a bicycle and giving only 2500 for repair... this is very worst. Earning that much but not minding customer who needs help.. wish they get...

Celebrated our Eid 2024 Lunch in here. Excellent Service I must say. Warm and Cosy environment. We ate Kozhi rice, Afghani Chicken, Dragon chicken , Noodles and Butterscotch Ice Cream with a bill of around ₹1700 for 5 people. Biriyani wasn't available as I went late and it was full rush for Eid.

The ambience is just as pleasing and refreshing. The waiter served us with respect, care and took deligent note of our requirements and his duty. Name ? His name was Roshan . Sweet and charming guy 😀. My only worry was car parking as the area is quite packed up in the Adyar signal.

W.r.t Food - Dragon chicken was 100% authentic. Flavoured and perfect taste, consistency.

Kozhi rice with Lamb was 👌🏻, You won't believe me , I never ate Mutton all my life, but this Kozhi with Lamb stole my taste buds that literally I ate Lamb and fell in love ❤️. Butterscotch was generous quantity unlike other restaurants and Afgani was 👌🏻.

Certainly I've seen them 15+ years more and they've improved a lot. Previously I didn't like them due to Biryani bad taste . But certainly they're soo good now.

They've turned...

From the moment I walked in, the ambiance set the tone — warm lighting, soft background music, and a layout that respected personal space without feeling empty. The staff was attentive but not intrusive, which is rare and refreshing.

The menu was well-curated, not overly ambitious, but thoughtful. Every dish we tried had a clear identity — not just ingredients thrown together, but flavor with intent. The [starter/dish name] stood out for its balance and presentation. You could tell the kitchen takes pride in getting the details right.

What made the experience meaningful wasn’t just the food, but the flow — no long waits, no rushed plates, just a comfortable rhythm. It felt like the kind of place that understands hospitality isn't about flair, it's about consistency and care.

Prices were fair for the quality, though maybe a bit on the higher end. Still, you walk out feeling like you paid for something that mattered.

Would I come back? Definitely — not just for the food, but for the feeling that someone behind the scenes...
