    I never knew there's such a wonderful restaurant here in tambaram until my brother said so. One of the most peaceful dine-in I've been to. Ideal for family dinners. The food was great. Loved the texture, taste and consistency of paneer dish. (Just one little thing, the restaurant could improve the ambience bit more like more comfortable seating, music etc). It's a must visit for people residing in and around tamabaram!

    I had keema parantha and reshmi kabab along with mango lassi. The preparation was good. The only thing I didn't liked is the dishes I tried is that they are less spicy and salty. The mango lassi should have prepared with real mangoes. Instead they used flavours, which tasted more like a mango bite toffee

    Good food taste and we tried a lot of varieties. All items taste good. Quick Service and ambience is also good but small place. Available in Swiggy and Zomato. Chicken and mutton varieties are good. In Dry fruits lassi they added more kissmiss than other nuts.

    We went there looking at the pictures from internet , and one of my friend has ordered food here and dined out, who gave positive review. The location and the entrance of the diner was small, no parking available, you have to park on the roadside and it's a small street, had trouble parking my SUV. The restaurant interior looked decent but very small and cramped up. They didn't give us a menu, instead they have a QR code on the table , which guided you to the menu and you can order on it (the idea was good, but TBH it took us much more time to decide and order than the usual menu) The food - the taste wise it was very good, had cream of chicken soup, afghan grill chicken, butter Naan and mutton roghan Josh. I felt they priced the menu little higher. One thing I disliked was the salt they kept on the table, which didn't fall out when we used, so I opened it and found the color of salt to be bluish in color and had to wait 10mins to see the waiter to tell him.

    Better than many offering group hotel in chennai, Good food and the offer a good variety of food. I had been here couple of times for treats and team dinner. A very good place to spend time with family and friends. And very good helping chef Mirza. I would definitely recommend this place to any one.

    Had honey chicken and tandoori. Both were made good and tasty. The cost was less on all the items. Good to know some budget restaurant.

    Visited this place twice for lunch and dinner. Dhaba style lower seating is quite nice and food is tasty. Must try is arabian chicken full and mutton Biryani. Soups are average taste and starters are good. The only disadvantage is no parking facility.

    A different experience, low seating, excellent north indian food and worth for money. Only this I didn't like is they used too much of oil in food but taste, quantity and quality were really nice. It's near GRT tambaram but it doesn't have parking area.

  • 1/5 Gokul R. 1 year ago on Google
    First time I visited the restaurant. I did not have a very good experience. Ordered mutton soup, mutton kolhapuri, some breads, chicken coconut fry, mutton soup and chicken roadside briyani. mutton kolhapuri and mutton soup tasted like a Chinese dish. Chicken coconut fry tasted more like a tandoori dish with very dry chicken and some coconut in it. Chicken roadside briyani had a grilled leg piece which is way too burnt. While the briyani rice had no real flavour. If they are trying a fusion menu maybe the name dhaba does not sound right. Ordering food is through an app and it feels real complicated at times. My dad asked a simple question if we order through an app why not we use swiggy / Zomato. Atleast we should have someone to guide us through the process. No dedicated parking available. It is a small road so parking might be a bit of a struggle.

    Food was good. Had tandoori roti,kadaai paneer, punjabi roti and lassi. All were good, especially the punjabi roti was so good..soft, with little chilli flakes all over it, loved it. About the ambience, it looked good, they had two ac rooms but needs to be reserve ahead online, with a condition of atleast 6 members to get that reserved. We went for dinner, with only fans and a small ventillation it was stuffy and less comfortable. Overall it was a good dining experience.

    This is nice ambience and taste of the food is excellent. This is fully digital hotel where ordered, menu and bill is digital and physical paper involved. Seems like idea implemented during lockdown.

    Very good food. Very good service. Hospitality was too good for the small size of the resturant. I went there after seeing very good reviews and I owe to echo the same. I tried only veg menu and it was nice. Worth trying. People have told nonveg was also fantastic. Give it a try. The small hut like structure to have food and chill out is fantastic. If you prefer ther real dhabha style of sitting on the floor they have arrangements for that too. They have all terakota dining utensils which is new to experience. . Go and experience yourself. . . One thing to remember is that I went in the evening it was plesent, but if you prefer to go anytime other than the evening time am not sure how good the feel will be as it might be a bit hotter as the place is not air (No AC)

  • 3/5 Gayathri G. 1 year ago on Google
    There are so many positive reviews. Atmosphere is good except the mosquitoes (in the evening). Seems to be a good place but the food ordering system is different here (virtual order). It's a scan and order method which is cool idea but it has drawbacks. Our visit was little horrible due to that system and our dish choices. Because of the virtual order you can't check whether that dish is sweetish or spicy ( for people who are not familiar with the dishes). Unfortunately all the items we ordered were sweetish even the gravy felt like sweet lassi. Our bad we also ordered Lassi as a dessert and we ended up eating all sweets.😅 If you are visiting make sure to order wisely. The food quality was really good.

    Extremely high quality food .. But some renovation going on.. Hopefully I can get a better dining experience ahead.. Food order mode is quite easy and without waiting for anyone to let you order and take.. Online menu available and order sent directly to kitchen and will be placed based on ur mobile number

    We can get tasty food at a reasonable price in this restaurant. Waiting time to receive the food is a bit longer when comparing it with other restaurants.

  • 4/5 Rishi K. 1 year ago on Google
    I went here at midnight for dine-in. The restaurant has qr code food ordering facility which I really liked it. I tried spl Butter naan, cream of mushroom soup, Arabian tandoori and buttermilk. All of the dishes tasted good but the buttermilk was okayish and not so good. The only thing that bothered me was there were lot of mosquitoes, couldn't eat in peace cos of that. Other than that everything was super good. Hope things would be better when I visit the dhaba next time. ✌️

  • 5/5 saikat B. 8 months ago on Google
    Lovely place food is really punjabi style and Chinese starters are lovely... I had here lunch with my family. And my daughter loved it. We all enjoyed food too much. It's very tasty. Atmosphere here is also very good. Low heightened sofa make it like dhaba. Also it's very neat and clean place. Perfect for family and friend. I will surely visit here again with my family. Also here we get digital menu card with online order. So no waiter concept which is new and I like it. It's real taste of north Indian foods. I must recommend this place for sure.

    Good ambience, place, Service and a good spot for spending with family and friends. The only problem is about food. They didn't taste exceptionally. Food were oilyyyy.

  • 4/5 Prem B. 2 years ago on Google
    Dishes are good taste wise and quality wise, quantity can be little more for the price. Place maintenance can be improved,more staff needs to employed. Taking order, serving, cleaning the place , preparing juices, reception everything was handled by a single person when we went on a Friday afternoon. Otherwise it’s a good place

    Good ambience . If you like north indian rather than south. Pl go and enjoy the food. If you are for meals lover . Don't go.

  • 4/5 Ramanesh Nandan T (. 3 years ago on Google
    Ambience was nice The food was good and worth for the price but not tasted like real dhaba food Lassi was the real drawback ,it tasted like normal homemade lassi nothing like north indian or special lassi (not worth for the price)

  • 4/5 Sunku S. 2 years ago on Google
    Taste is good. Vegetarian food is cooked without any Non Veg flavours or smells... Ambience is neat and clean.. Staff is polite... Had a pleasant time...

  • 3/5 Amarnath S. 2 years ago on Google
    Ambience is different than normal restuarants available in this area. Menu and Price are as normal as other restaurants no difference in it. Ordering and billing fully automated. Ordered Mix veg and non veg fried rice, adequate quantity for one. Nothing spl in taste. They said no normal water available and asked us to go for Aquafina, when I insisted informed only hot water available which is very hot 100 degree.

  • 3/5 p a t r i c k r. 1 year ago on Google
    Restaurant with impressive ambience - that's it! Taste is good ~ not too special, just good food | but a bit too pricey! To make things bad ~ I had to deal with few mosquitoes / some files, in the open area. For someone who would like to experience a different ambience/ romantic environment : this would be a good place But I didn't find the place too special, just okay Ordering food, from scanning qr code / checking / paying bills via mobile 📱 is appreciated (a new approach) Eventually, apart from actual food /taste - food other aspects pretty unique here! Try a visit for yourself 👋💡
