    Food is very good . Ambience is nice. Good place for dinning with family. Lawn is very neatly maintained. Kids loved the place along with fish. Panner is very soft and melts in mouth. Pulkha is very soft. Good to eat. Price wise costly. Curd rice is 130 rs.

    South Indian Veg was excellent. Enjoyed the thalli. The podis were my favorite. However I wished the tables were a little bigger, as the table for 6 was a bit crowded, and inconvenient as elbows kept bumping into each other. To wash hands, the sink was quite far and uncomfortable after finishing our meal, as customers were arriving just then to sit down and eat. Overall the South Indian Veg thallis were the best.

    Visited on 10th February, 2023 with family for lunch at one of their restaurants - the Golden Palate. I tried their South Indian Thaali, while others tried their Thai Red Curry with rice. The thaali was quite a sumptuous fare, and had a variety of local items from Tamil Nadu - like, paruppu usili, vathakuzhambu, Keerai Vada, Varuval, Kootu, Beetroot Poriyal and a few more. The thaali is unlimited, and non-shareable. This was my first time trying authentic Tamil vegetarian cuisine - and I was highly satisfied. They strictly serve vegetarian items, and in fact also have a dedicated Jain menu. Though it might seem the options are fairly limited - they maintain good quality in the items they serve. Can visit again just to enjoy their thaali. The staff comprises young boys and girls, who are prompt and cordial in the services they provide. The restaurant, which is inside their hotel campus comes with adequate parking facility.

    Had lunch, I would say the taste and service offered would be high/equal to Marriott or Sheraton yet the price you pay would be far less. The panner varieties are the ones best here, very soft and fresh, good to try. Service is excellent especially the manger, provided menu recommendations. Serving time is reasonable however may increase during peak hours. Car parking lot is a plus and just 1 km to beach I guess.

    This was a beautiful place we came across in Mahabalipuram. This place is near the bus stand. We had dinner here and the food was yum. The Ambience is nice with light songs. All the items we ordered here were good and tasty. Service is on point but a longer waiting time as food is prepared after it is ordered. A little expensive but worth it. There is parking on the inside. Do visit

    Good simple food. Noodles was well made and so was the north Indian side dishes and the Indian breads. Choice of starters was also very good. Food was delivered quick as well - low wait time. We went a bit early and could get the larger central table and the place is also nicely located with comfortable parking options.

    I recently had the pleasure of visiting The Golden Palate, a restaurant located in Mahabalipuram. I must say that I was thoroughly impressed with my dining experience there. The restaurant offers a warm and inviting ambiance, and the service was excellent from start to finish. Now, let's talk about the food. I had the Pad Thai noodles, and they were hands down the best I've ever had. The noodles were perfectly cooked and the flavors were balanced, with just the right amount of spice. The paneer makhani was another standout dish, with a rich and creamy tomato-based sauce that complemented the paneer perfectly. The garlic naan and laccha parantha were both fresh and fluffy, and the perfect accompaniment to the flavorful curries. And last but not least, the chocolate fudge dessert was out of this world. It was the perfect balance of rich chocolate and sweetness, and the presentation was beautiful. Overall, I would highly recommend The Golden Palate to anyone looking for a delicious and memorable dining experience. The food is top-notch, the service is excellent, and the ambiance is warm and welcoming. I can't wait to visit again and try more of their amazing dishes Kudos to my server Akash for the great service he provided. I recommend any traveler to definitely visit this place.

    Worst service, abusive staff and mediocre food! How the mighty have fallen One of the worst restaurants I have seen in the region. It takes literally hours to get server's attention, who conveniently forgot half of my order, and called me a liar on my face for not ordering everything in the first place. On ordering seconds, told me ' will take a lot of time'... Basically saying, get out.. and the food qualify for what they served finally, was mediocre at best.. and for the price they charged for it - atrocious. This used to be a great place, but now, never again. Avoid at all costs, there are better places to try..

    This resturant is situated on main road , 100m before Mahabalipuram bus terminal. The resturant has close to 10 tables and can accommodate 50ppl at a same time. It was really quite and the staffs were so polite. Price is little higher but its worth to pay since their menu were so different. If you are visiting Mahabalipuram you can try this restuarant

    We ordered Banquet hall for dining around 25 people on 4-15 for dinner. It was a very good experience. Shankar from the Restaurant coordinated with us on the Menu Selection and was very cordial. The price is reasonable and the food was tasty and satisfactory..Kids too enjoyed well.

    We stayed at Radisson Blu Mahabalipuram and went here for dinner after inquiring at the restaurant on call as we were looking for a pure vegetarian. The Food here is good ( mention them less spicy if u don’t want ) . We had ordered Paneer tikka Mirch Masala , Veg Jaipuri, paneer butter masala , dal fry , jeera rice, phulka roti , dessert ( Don’t have photos to share ) Their service , staff behaviour is excellent. The manager / owner who attended my call inquired specially that was i the one who enquired from Radisson hotel a while back.. That shows how much attentive they are.

  • 4/5 Pankti T. 10 months ago on Google
    Had lunch here in scorching heat after tiresome sightseeing of Mahabalipuram. One of the best vegetarian restaurant in Mahabalipuram. It's very difficult to find pure veg restaurant with North Indian food, hence, this was a life saver. Ambience was very pleasing and definitely relaxing. They have decent South Indian as well as North Indian options. Ambience- 9/10 Food- 8/10 Staff & Service- 9.5/10 Price- Moderately Expensive (But fair since it's difficult to find such option) Staff is very friendly and speaks English, Hindi & Tamil. It's definitely recommended if you are with family and loved ones for pure veg North Indian options.

    We went there at 6 in the evening for dinner, unfortunately it's too early for dinner yet they welcomed us warmly. The ambience was very good and so as their dishes. We only had tea and snacks but it is of good quality. Their hospitality and service is good.we had a great time visiting them.

  • 5/5 K V A. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent food with excellent ambience. We tried roasted garlic soup, chettinad paneer and pad thai noodles. All were very tasty. I recommend roasted garlic soup and noodles. Ambience is superb and service was excellent. For dinner we tried panner tikka mirch gravy along with phulka and veg fried rice. Gravy is chef special and yes, it was special. Very unique taste. Reasonable prices too. Overall, very impressed.

  • 5/5 siddhi g. 1 year ago on Google
    Had the best lunch in Mahabalipuram - special thanks to Jay, Laxmee, Samiksha, Albin, Kumari and Carlious. Absolutely loved the thali and would definitely come back for more! Location is very close to the temple so works out even better.

  • 5/5 saurav s. 5 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Pushkar Protik G. 10 months ago on Google
    The experience here is just excellent!!! We had lunch here and were residing in the same hotel. We ordered paneer makhni, garlic naan, laccha Paratha, pad thai noodle, chocolate fudge icecream 1) The staff is extremely courteous and caring for customers. They are very polite. Akash was our waiter and did excellent job with his colleagues in serving us 2) The food was excellent, paneer was very soft and had tasty gravy for paneer makhni/ paneer butter masala. Pad thai noodles was excellent in taste and quantity. The taste, proportion, price and location was all perfect. 3) The ambience is good with AC and good light calming background music The food here is excellent and must recommended in Mahabalipuram. The taste, quantity, courteous stuff and good ambience makes this an awesome overall dining experience for guests!

    Very comfortable and calm place to have veg food.... Staff is also very co-operative and dedicated parking is also there... Prices are also not very much high...

  • 3/5 karan s. 1 year ago on Google
    I was looking for a place to have authentic Tamilian food. This place came up in all relevant searches. I ordered the Heritage Thali Food was decent but not something I would go gaga about. It wasn't heated well - that's the service part but the taste didn't resonate with me. Think it's a bit overrated and I would look for other options if I am around the area.

  • 4/5 Jayadev R. 4 months ago on Google
    While in Mahabalipuram I visited this place for dinner. Decent food with very good ambience and service. Tried a vegan dish(Chilly tofu) which had good taste. Anyone coming to Mahabalipuram can check this place out for good vegetarian Thai and Indian options.

  • 5/5 Joji S. 2 months ago on Google New
    An impeccable experience at Mamalla Heritage Hotel! From the warm welcome to the exceptional service, every moment here was a delight. The rooms are spacious, elegantly furnished, and spotlessly clean. The staff's attentiveness and eagerness to assist made my stay truly memorable. The delicious array of cuisines offered at their restaurant was a culinary delight. The hotel's strategic location near historic sites and the serene ambiance made it a perfect retreat. Without a doubt, a definite five-star gem for those seeking comfort, luxury, and a taste of history.

  • 5/5 Archana S. 6 months ago on Google
    Amazing South Indian food. After a tiring walk around Mahabalipuram this is the best place to take a break. The ambience is perfect with light music and yumm food. You'll feel refreshed.

  • 1/5 Viral D. 4 years ago on Google
    Unhygienic. We saw the chef licking his arms of the juice after stirring off and whilst putting it in the serving glass. Also, they served rotis 20 minutes after serving curry. Not Recommended given the high pricing, unhygienic food preparation and poor service

  • 3/5 Ravishankar V. 4 years ago on Google
    Decent place with a nice ambience. Food needs some improvements.. atleast the items we took today were average. Soup was salty and the roti and sabzi was average. The rates are pricey for a place like Mahabalipuram. Parking slots were slushy due to rains and the rest room was bad. Overall, nothing great to look forward to. Just that if you are in that area and are looking for vegetarian food, this will popup as one of the popular joint.

The food is delicious as well and the service is very polite and respectful. I truly appreciate the service women for their good behaviour. For the people who are ok with high cost and what a good delicious food with a simple and peaceful ambiance, I recommend this restaurant.
