    Ordered their Schezwan chicken fried rice and normal fried rice through online delivery platform. Very slow service. Took over an hour to be delivered. Packaging was really nice. But the food was delivered so cold. Coming to the taste, it was spicy but it was a more indianised flavour. Didn't taste so great. And the normal fried rice was straight up burnt and tasted god awful. It was served with two packets of ketchup. I was utterly disappointed and don't think I'll be trying anything else from this place again. Have you guys tried this place ?

    Ordered Chicken Biriyani via Swggy. I dnt know how they prepared biriyani weather they know how to make i even dnt know. Very Bad Taste. 1 suggession, Plz before taking any order u urself taste the food and then u relise WTFood. Horrible Experience. See the biriyani and imagine what is taste.

    A small non vegetarian eaterie and may not be suitable for families. Take away is ideal. Varieties are there but prices are high. Taste differs from dish to dish... Car paking is a problem.

    Complete unsafe and food is not hygenic, I ordered today via swiggy in T.Nagar branch found a small cockroach in the sandwich, may be they are using rotten/stale meat, reported to swiggy as usual they cannot do anything rather than giving coupons to shut customers mouth. I contacted the restaurant and they asked me to send pictures which I did and they are also shut and not sorry for their mistake to improve the quality. They will be keep selling their food without any regrets and I'm posting this for other people's awareness.

    The Food was just amazing. We ordered Chilli chicken and Chicken Noodles and have to say simply amazing. The cost was minimum and affordable. The packaging was in a air tight container. The food was hot when got delivered. And the taste was just fabulous we really loved your food. We ordered through Swiggy.Hope to order more in future. Thank you Moonlight.

    This place has been a life saver. We landed late at night in Chennai and had no idea that due to curfew we will not be getting any food. We were famished and wondering where can we get food in the middle of the night way past curfew hours. But we were lucky to stumble up this place and they packed warm and delicious food for us. Also, please try their chicken Chettinad, its heavenly.

  • 2/5 Nagarjuna J. 1 year ago on Google
    I was here at around 12:30 midnight. Ordered egg fried rice (He said two eggs will be there by default) with an extra egg and spice for my takeaway. They took order swiftly. I was surprised after opening the food. Quantity was okay but the quantity of egg didn't even look like two eggs. As I was still outside the outlet, I went to give the feedback but no proper response.!

    Please don't visit this restaurant after 12am such a worst service. They don't even ask the order we have to beg to give them order such a waste of time. There is only person there to deliver and to take order they only prioritise online orders if you wanna try please do order online.

    This particular place is lil inside of Pondy bazar. But the food is very delicious you can dine in and takeaway also. Or you can also order it from swiggy and zomato.

  • 1/5 Naushad K. 1 year ago on Google
    Ordered Schezwan chicken fried rice and Paneer tikka roll via swiggy. One of the worst food I ever tasted, fried rice was full dry and Schezwan taste was missing. Paneer tikka roll was also dry and simply added paneer instead of paneer tikka, very bad taste. Fully disappointed.

    Small restaurant but good for private ambiance. May the food will be given late after order but with friends It will not been noted. Resonable and good FOOD ITEMS. The timing of this restarent awesome.

  • 3/5 Vicky Vignesh 0. 1 year ago on Google
    This is one good spot to try midnight food. We went around 1.30-2.00 AM for the food and they have take away as well as delivery in zomato/swiggy. The quantity of dishes could have been more for the cost they have on. The cost is decent but the quantity as well as taste could be slightly good. For midnight food they don't have everything in the menu as well as they written on the board outside as specials but they have regular menu . May be it would have been finished off on that time we went there.!! One of the good places to have midnight food but there is no dine in at midnight but only take away. Or you could order for delivery from zomato and swiggy

    Very bad food food rice quality is not good

  • 1/5 Janani S. 7 months ago on Google β€’ 3 reviews
    I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with the recent order I received from your restaurant. The quality of the food was far below acceptable standards. Specifically: 1. The Schezwan fried rice had a foul smell, rendering it inedible. The chicken 65 was burnt to the core, making it impossible to consume. 2. This experience was not only disappointing but also concerning for health and safety reasons. I believe it is crucial for your restaurant to maintain high food quality standards to ensure customer satisfaction.

  • 1/5 Fathima A. 2 years ago on Google
    I ordered Mutton Sukka from this shop via Swiggy... Taste was so horrible.. I am damn sure it's not mutton... Surely it is beef.. That too it's not cooked well... It was so so spicy...was not able to eat even a single piece....literally wasted money buying in this shop.....

  • 3/5 Sivagami Sundari R. 2 years ago on Google
