    Be Careful, It is no more the same, A threat to life. We went there on the 10th of July- Sunday, all of us got sick and 4 of us were in serious condition. Acute Diarrhoea and Vomiting. Food Safety authorities should inspect this place and seal it just like the Rosewater Restaurant of Anna Nagar. Sadly nobody reports to the Authorities due to the cumbersome Govt process. -Stale food, -Unhygienic, unclean environment, -Dirty and smelly handwash/restroom area, -No staff wearing a mask and boldly coughing and talking into the food -No safety protocols as if they are not bothered you live or die. Earlier known to be an expensive premium and clean Restaurant, now turns out to be a cheap, dirty, unhealthy Restaurant - still expensive. Pay high for food and pay for Medical bills, thank God we are alive.

    We have visited this place for team lunch. The starters - Fish fingers, Tandoori Prawns. Squid tawa fry were nice. The Mutton Raan biriyani also nice. Good hotel in this area. You get 10% discount when you pay with cash and 5% discount with card payment.

    My experience is regarding their side outlet Cafe Arabica. Had Kerala favorite Pazham pori (banana fry) & samosa. They use good quality & sized banana. Tea was satisfying. Reasonable cost.

    Taste is not so good to tolerate the price. Over expensive. Sea varity dishes has some raw sand smell. Cost wise over price comparatively other high class Non-veg hotels.

    We ordered chicken lollipop, manchow soup,grill chicken ,baby corn chilly,French fries,savoury spl chicken ,mushroom masala and breads. Grill chicken and mushroom masala was dull. Mayonnaise was less for the full plate grill chicken and they were charging extra for mayo

    Worst customer service. Orders take lot of time to receive. Very low quantity. Don’t order without referring its type and quantity. Poor in taste for some dishes. Handling customers based on head count per table and based on customers out look.

  • 5/5 Subramanian SP A. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the finest places for good Non-Veg and Veg food. Right from Soup, Starters, Curries, Biriyani, rice varieties to Deserts, you will love it all. Lot of Arabian dishes are available, along with North Indian, Chinese as well. Truly multi cuisine. The portion size is also good. The seating capacity is good enough for even large gangs. .

  • 3/5 Saif Ali S. 2 years ago on Google
    We went around afternoon. This is a nice place as risk of bad food is moderate. Mostly anyone would find all the items favourable if not awesome. Easy to visit this place. Go here in the evenings for better 2.5 🌟 experience. A veg soup would be nice to have at this place. Keep your expectations normal as you visit here.

  • 4/5 Ashoo A. 2 years ago on Google
    Tastes good! Best for Arabian cuisine. The waiting was quite a while though.

  • 5/5 thillai m. 2 years ago on Google
    Good service my the persons work there. I went there for breakfast. Chicken curry with parotta is awesome.

  • 2/5 Humayun k. 2 years ago on Google
    Very average. May be due to COVID the business is down. Taste was ok and not great.

  • 5/5 Loga Prasanth N. 4 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 GANESH KUMAR N. 2 years ago on Google
    Loved the food , quite expensive but food is good.

  • 4/5 Vetri R. 2 years ago on Google
    Best prawn restaurants in Chennai are very limited and the problem with most of the restaurants is they don't clean very well or they used the prawn frozen for a long time. Some restaurants serve good prawns in the initial days but over time the taste and quality gradually fade, After trying out various hotel establishments for sea based dishes I found Savoury Sea Shell Restaurant in OMR to be the best ever. After more than 10 visits to the SEA SHELL restaurant I noticed the prawn served is fresh, the taste and quality are wow, the staff and owner are very friendly and the view from the restaurant is lovely.

  • 4/5 Revanth A. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent food. Food preparation eats up a lot time. Worth the money !

  • 4/5 arvind s. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place to have food with family or for couples...Nice staff.. Good service.. There was a special chair for toddlers i loved it.. My 1 year daughter was super comfortable in it and we were able to have our food peacefully.

  • 4/5 Arunvp I. 2 years ago on Google
    We did a party here. The food and ambiance are awesome. The starters are very tasty. Indian and Arabian dishes are so nice..

  • 4/5 vinoth k. 6 months ago on Google
    Service here is good and taken care well. The taste of the food is not such great ! We have tested chicken, mutton, prawn Biriyani and none is too good but we appreciate their effort to give tasty food to the customer. Falooda is not much effective too. Overall I say, we can go to beat the hunger but not for the excellent taste.. I say Egg parotta and chicken gravy was awesome !!

  • 3/5 Shabeer S. 2 years ago on Google
    Taste wise ok but poor service and taking long time to serve

  • 1/5 Sanc H. 2 years ago on Google
    I’m sitting inside this restaurant now for almost 45 mins . Order took 40 mins ago . But still waiting for plates and no response from anyone . But people came after me with same order received . Please don’t think everywhere same issue . This restaurant is really worst .

  • 4/5 Dhandapani N. 4 months ago on Google
    The Food was good. A must try would be Roasted honu(honey) chicken red sauce Macaroni and panner kadai gravy. Chicken mint soup and chicken soup is not advisable. I have also attached the latest Menu. There isn't any discount as well.

  • 3/5 Goku 4 months ago on Google
    Every food item we tried was delicious. Friendly staff but have to wait fr 20min for ur food and the atmosphere is not good. The toilets look very old and not clean.

    Had dinner here Starters and deserts are good main course are ok ! But not too good...Do not try any soups since it tasted not good ! Ambience was very nice ! Overall Giving 3 Stars

  • 2/5 Megha K. 10 months ago on Google
    Experience is not consistent. Ordered the big non veg platter, it was good once and fish in the platter was really bad other time. Considering the price costing around 2500 for the platter, cannot take the risk and try the platter again!

  • 2/5 Pradeesh T. 1 year ago on Google
    King fish is not so good, just ok. Arabian style so do not order briyani. Chicken starters are good.

  • 5/5 Naveen B. 1 year ago on Google
    Really Nice and Tastes🤤 so good. But you want water you should have to pay for that.

  • 2/5 vasu d. 7 months ago on Google
    Its my first time visiting here and had a very worst satisfaction.. 1. No water on wash room 2. Rest room, public toilet on busstand is more better than it 3. Mutton dum biryani, even thakkali saatham will have some taste .. 4. Pls pls don't try sea shell spl "Savory falooda" didn't expected that falooda utter waste 5. Gulab jamun very very hard and smooth Etc etc .. I can tell much more

  • 5/5 Prasanna J. 8 months ago on Google
    A good place for big meals. I've been there for lunch with my friends. The items were so good. The ambiance is cool and lovely. The prices were normal. The staffs were customer friendly and even recommended few dishes based on our choice. I recommend this place for office meet-ups and get together. Make sure you reserve a table before an hour if it's going to be lunch or dinner.

  • 3/5 Sameer M. 9 months ago on Google
    Wait time is avg and gravy served dint have salt in it. Later when informed salt was added, and it was okay. Ambience is good. Service is also good but few dishes might vary in taste.

  • 4/5 Eyokesh S. 1 year ago on Google
    First time we tried squid tawa fry. It was spicy and very tasty. As usual barbeque, mutton dum biryani, butter Naan, Aloo Paratha, mattar panner were all good

  • 3/5 Asrar S. 4 years ago on Google
    Middle East style dishes ....neat ambience but crowded during weekends and holidays ..... seafood and nonveg dishes good to inconsistent ...not much veg options ..prices a tad high !

  • 4/5 arun e. 4 years ago on Google
    Ordered mutton raan mandhi briyani... Mutton was cooked really well and the taste also good.

  • 4/5 parthasarathy S. 4 years ago on Google
    We've been here couple of times. We've tried Koji fish rice, prawn biryani, tandoori chicken, fried rice and shawarma plate. The prawn biryani, fried rice and tandoori was good. The Koji rice was different and really good but not everyone liked it. The shawarma plate wasn't good, nothing special and not worth the price.

  • 4/5 Arun K. 4 years ago on Google
    Great food and service. Would highly recommend. Ordered chilli prawns, fishfry, mushroom pepper fry(loved it), paneer burji(dislike). Non veg starters taste is good. You can see the dish textures in Added photos.

  • 3/5 Akhil S K. 4 years ago on Google
    We had Hyderabadi mutton biriyani half. It costs ₹125. Decent quantity, but didn't like the biriyani at all. It wasn't spicy and lacked any taste. The food served wasn't hot either.

  • 4/5 Ajith K. 4 years ago on Google
    You can expect good customer service here. Taste wise needs improvement. Best place for Middle Eastern food.

  • 5/5 Arun kumar S. 2 years ago on Google
    Best grilled chicken in the city. Unique flavor ! Mutton raan was perfectly cooked. Crispy outside and gooey inside. Shake the bone and mutton will fall off. Falooda is an all time favorite. Roti and gravy was good too. Edit: it's 2022 and still the best grill chicken in this part of the city.

  • 2/5 Augesten P. 4 years ago on Google
    I though sea shell reastraunt would be great but when myself and my friend went there and ordered and ate 8 dishes.we came to know that the chicken, fish biriyani are not even worth for Rs50...then the fish wasn't cleaned properly that was awful ?....then we ate Al faham Dajaj(BBQ) was good but the way they served was not satisfying to us. And also they provided a beer root salad with one chilli and both were very old stock. And we also order some Chinese food that was good and the falooda was okay.

  • 3/5 S P. 4 years ago on Google
