    Earlier gave 4 rating based on my past experience but now turning down it to one Today (June 2nd 2019) went to Thambi vilas at 3.30pm, the guy in reception disappointed me first stating that Briyani and Parotta available but for parotta I have to order gravy.. Come on you cant treat your customers in this way at your reception desk , this clearly shows that they are not ready to serve us (2members) at 3.30pm. We were sitting till 3.45 PM and no one came to take order and finally asked menu card with one person. After sometime another person came to take order said no parotta. Then he said parotta available but not gravy.. Then he went to check again in kitchen. Finally we waited for another 2mins and we started back. No one didnt stop us. Just a bad service. May be during peak hours service looks good but not at off peak hours. Please check your CCTV on our suffering. Old 4 rating review comments Earlier reviewed it based on parcel experience. This time we went for lunch. Felt their service was not as quick as Tnagar branch. Briyani - Both chicken and mutton Briyani were excellent Parotta - Good Thambivillas 65 - Excellent and their best Chicken 65 - Good Mutton kathambam (Liver and Kidney) - Excellent Egg Podimas - was ok only Ginger soda - Good Kulfi- Nice Elaneer payasam - Excellent Their quantity of Briyani and side dishes were less Disappointed that they didn't have mutton Kola urundai on Sunday Overall a good choice to have tasty Briyani. Soon we can expect more branches of it in various part of Chennai

    Great food and good ambiance, but the service was very poor. The servers kept forgetting the orders and even placed a couple of dishes that we did not order in our tables, and this was a recurring pattern. One of the very few places that serves panneer soda in goli bottles. Quantity is generally lesser than the standard amount, but the food was yummy. Definitely worth a visit for the nalli fry and crispy parottas.

  • 4/5 Md I. 4 years ago on Google
    Food is Nice at this place and also Pocket friendly....But I didn't have a nice experience related to the staff...They intentionally gave us wrong bill 3 times ...upon confronting they said machine problem... asking for Manager they made a Noob helper guy stand as a Manager... except this Vibe and Food is Nice.

  • 2/5 uday v. 4 years ago on Google
    Preparation is done in Guindy branch. The waiters doesn't know the ingredients they use. Also we cannot customize the food according to our taste as it is already made and brought from Guindy.

    Good food . Good concept foods . They dont keep chineese nd fast cook items.. Spaces could be used well as many remained unused and undermaintained

  • 1/5 Mohanavel T. 4 years ago on Google
    Nowadays, the quality is not at all good. And the ambiance is getting less attractive.

  • 4/5 Pradeep K. 4 years ago on Google
    While entering the restaurant itself, You will feel like you are in the 1970s. the restaurant ambiance is like a retro style and also very clean and neat. The dishes are all prepared in thanjur style. They have a wide variety of non-veg food.. Taste of the food will really speak about the restaurant. The cost is reasonable.

  • 2/5 Messi K. 4 years ago on Google
    Taking too much time to serve

  • 4/5 Balaji T. 4 years ago on Google
    Too costly for the quantity

  • 4/5 Sathyan S. 4 years ago on Google
    The restaurant which has an antique feel to it. The place is themed on a chettinad styled ancestral home. Tightly packed during weekends. There would be a waiting time around 10 to 15 minutes. Pretty decent dishes. Has a ring of authenticity to it. Responsive staff. Portions were just okay. Considering the taste and the portion, the price felt justified.

  • 5/5 Mukesh C. 4 years ago on Google
    I love this restaurant❤️ Tasty food, especially Non Veg items, But we have to wait a bit for tasting the food because the order time and serving time will differ and takes some time compared to other restaurants ! One of the finest restaurant for Trying Mutton dishes👍🏼 It is themed with Traditional South Indian chetinad style! They also have Goli soda 🤩 Best option in OMR for Food lovers NV

  • 4/5 Sounak Ranjan D. 6 years ago on Google
    This branch of TV is a good one. As with other branches all the items were unavailable. But the mutton salna idli and the Vanjaram fry was awesome. The ambience was good but the service was a bit slow. Overall a good experience of you are looking for good non vegetarian south Indian food.

  • 4/5 kiran d. 4 years ago on Google
    Once of the best place of serving South Indian authentic food with authentic taste. Ambencies and interior arrangement r good. Service also good but it's they taking more time to serve food what they committed on weekends but it's worth to wait for such authentic taste. Must try dishes: Chicken/mutton soda Mutton kola urandai. Briyani Paneer/pineapple goli soda and rose milk Ilaneer payasam

  • 4/5 Dinesh 6 years ago on Google
    Prawn was fresh and taste was okay. Quantiy was also fine. Chicken sukka and mutton sukka both were spicy and good. Vanjaran fish fry also good one. They suggested mutton egg fry which boneless but the taste was not good. We felt like eating egg podimass. Ambience and service were good.

  • 4/5 Vigneshwaran N. 6 years ago on Google
    Decent place for since good spicy and authentic south Indian Dindigul belt style food. Must try food are a lot to try. Experience delay is successful. The quantity will be less, so order accordingly. Try the ginger lime soda.

  • 4/5 Naushad R. 6 years ago on Google
    Good place to eat Authentic Tamil food ... Great ambience but usually crowded , you will get the feel of old mansions ..food was great , but everything was south indian, if you are a vegetarian try mushroom fry, it's best there ... And you have many good options for non veg . Authentic chicken biryani will b served.... And there are banana leaves as plates. That's the speciality of the place .. you have to try the chocolate pan here . That's great .. one less star for service that can b improved .. most of the waiters don't know any language other than Tamil ..

    What a wonderful place & amazing ambiance. A hidden gem with a story that will blow your mind away. If you are close by, visit just to experience the beauty of decor. Do spend sometime with the wonderful staff. Pleasant folks.Tried Chicken 65.It's really good.

  • 3/5 dinesh k. 4 years ago on Google
    Easy access restaurant because it's located in OMR main road. Food rates are not very high, we can say it's an average price but food quantity are very less and not matching with what they charge. Taste is good. Environment you will feel like you are in a house because the infrastructure is like that. That's the way they built it.

    Enjoy local cuisine here and most probably you cannot have enough of it in one visit. The taste is good and varieties are as usual vibrant. The treatment is also nice. Order all at once so you get items in time. It's authentic and I like it.

  • 5/5 Amitha A. 4 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Achyut K. 4 years ago on Google
    Chettinad foods are available.fresh ingredients are used to prepare food and taste is good. In all dish salt will be less, as they consider elderly people in mind. Good for family, friends and corporates.

  • 2/5 karthik g. 4 years ago on Google
    Food served was not at all good. Decent service. Better to keep as last resort , if no other option available. Maybe it is a one off situation in my case.
