    A nice and quite place to have a drink and chat. Good variety and priced reasonably. Their short eats are fresh and delicious. You can order food either from the bar menu or from the menu of their other restaurants. The Jalapeno Cheese poppers are amazing and the Chin Chin Fish is just fantastic. Cost of food + drink for 2 is close to 2500. Reservations are not required except for Thursday's when they are booked completely. Apparently there is an Illayaraja special going on every Thursday. If you are lucky and manage to get a reservation on Thursday, rest assured you are bound to bump in to at least 1 celebrity from tinsel town (That's what I am told). The staff were courteous and would check in at intervals if we needed anything. Overall, a good experience and time well spent.

    WORST EXPERIENCE. I had booked table for 4 guests to attend their special thursday tamil light music. 3 guests are NRI's who were very excited to attend the light music evening. we have booked the seats 3 weeks earlier. We entered the bar by sharp 8 pm, for my surprise they allotted us seats facing the entrance , those singers were performing behind us , forget not to mention, 2 of my guests are ladies who have been flown from abroad, we had to turn around & look for the performance. We even made repeated requests to provide proper seating for us, but they kept quiet. Then came another waiter who told us proper seats would be given only for the regular members, that was a blow on our face. Then might as well run the bar only for the regular members, why do you have to welcome new members & disappoint them. When non regular members call for bookings , tell them you dont entertain new visitors. SUCH A WORST PLACE THIS IS. IT WAS A COMPLETE NIGHTMARE FOR US, TOO MUCH ATTITUDE BY THE STAFFS. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYBODY.

    Very good service. For a Friday night the place was empty. Maybe due to covid people stayed away. Good set of drinks, some great food from chin chin esp the fried ice cream. Good time, good drinks and good Friday night.

  • 5/5 H. Rohan N. 6 years ago on Google β€’ 127 reviews
    Excellent bar, one of the few to (as of March 2018) have draught beer, Kingfisher and Heineken. Seating is spacious. Clean. Skip the fancy ones and Order the masaal vadai it is the best I've ever had. Music when the DJ isn't around is not loud, which means you can have your own conversation without being disturbed. It's a WOMEN FRIENDLY place and yet it puts on no airs. Great find

    Went there for Illayraja nights. They have a live band. Regular crowd, you will need to book a table at least a week in advance. Food is good, drinks are reasonable. Good vibes if your looking for good music food and booze. Ambiance isint posh but comfortable.

    Space is bit cramped. Good thing is you have LIVE KAROKE Tamil film songs event on Thursday and Hindi film songs on Friday. Thursday event is always overbooked.

    Thursday night features retro Tamil music by Sriram and Friday night, retro Hindi music. Worth visiting these two days to get a load of quality live music. Table reservation in advance is recommended. Charges are moderate. Remember to wear shoes. It is mandatory.
