Amma Chettinadu Restaurant — Restaurant in Zone 9 Teynampet

We had been to this restaurant last week with 7 members for Lunch on a Sunday around 2 PM. Although the place was crowded we did get a table quickly and settled down. We had ordered for Non veg Thali and Biriyani. The Thali hardly had any side dish except for some fish and mutton gravy and curd. There was only one veg side dish and that too Yam.

There were no pappads or any other accompaniments served. The taste of the food was okay but the quantity served for the price was very very low. I think the owners have to give it a fresh thought as we had been there earlier too where we didn't feel ripped at the end of our meal. Mutton Sukka which was an ala carte order costed us a bomb for the quantity served. Likewise be it fish or any other additional dishes ordered were over priced for the quantity. We can see similar feedbacks on price vs quantity served from other customers as well in this platform. Owners please wake up!!

While we have been to this restaurant through word of mouth for its quality and quantity, this time we decided we will not go back again or recommend the restaurant to any else as it was a total rip off. Even goli soda which was served costed 3 times more than what was charged just outside in the Kiosk. We saw a lot of the guests coming out to have soda// ice creams as they costed heavily although it was being picked up from this kiosk just outside the restaurant. The outside waiting area sofas were all damaged and not properly maintained.

Overall a bad experience and no value...

I was there Yesterday 29th December 2021 for Lunch.

Ordered Mutton Biriyani, Nethli Fry, Lollypop Chicken and a Water bottle.

Mutton Biriyani had very less quantity and Rice was overcooked. Only two pieces of Mutton served. I dont call it as Mutton Biriyani at all Nethli Fry worst as I have ever had. Lot of salt on it and not fried properly and the fishes were big. Lollypop chicken was not Lollypop it was Fried chicken with some masala on it. Not able to taste them Ordered water bottle and they gave one litre Kinley. I asked them do you have half litre. Waiter said only 1 ltre and you can carry while going

Shocking: I went to wash hands and to come back to settle the check. Remember I did not order the bill which means they don't know my order is complete.

When I came back the table wss was cleaned and they started placing new leaf. They took my ordered water bottle as well. I asked them why did you remove all my stuff they just ask me to move as the next set of customers are waiting. Had a worst experience and dont recomment this restaurant for any if you want good customer service. Food is not tasty as well.

They don't know how to manage the crowd. Management is not performing well. I don't think this restaurant deserves even a single star but I cannot rate below one star. GOOGLE SHOULD PROVIDE NO STAR...

Fabulous Chettinad food !!!

Came here when i was on my business trips to chennai and went after over stuffing myself every time !!

#ambiance : 3.5 It may be hard for you to locate the first time but you will soon feel immersed into the south indian fine dining vibe. The music is from the MGR era and the place is filled with locals especially on lunch time. The serving is done on banana leaves

#service : 2.5 Its not the best service if you can't speak tamil. Its hard for waiters to understand and you can't even ask them how much portion will come with the meal or how is one dish different from another. They had to find a waiter who could understand a bit of english to take my orders. The food will come in fast and in large portions

#price : 4.5 Very well priced considering the large portions and awesome food

#food : 5 I may have never tasted home made chettinad cuisine but this comes close #steamed rice : it may sound foolish but you don't just get steamed rice. The rice comes with 7 other curries like a proper thali. Its mouth watering and spicy #chickenkalimirch : spicy and superb. the portions are enough for two people yet the taste was so good that i finished it all alone #biryani : Nice & spicy. Will fill you to the brim

Come here if you are in chennai for a short visit and would like to try the famous...
