  • 5/5 Mou P. 4 years ago on Google โ€ข 317 reviews
    One fine hot afternoon we went to have our buffet meal. Found the place to be crowded but by the time we left it got almost free. First of all the thing that I noticed was it's too big and can accommodate a good number of customers at a time. Secondly the thing that is obvious to attract the attention is the theme. Wow!! Jack Sparrow fans will be super happy to be in this place and surely the kids would enjoy the most here. Even we became so excited by the decor. So lovely, so nicely arranged everything. They even have live band performances which adds an extra star for them. They even have a separate selfie place, pirate hats and many more to enjoy!!! Starters were awesome and more in varieties. Veggies and nonveg both will be happy with the food and desserts were all yummy. Quite reasonable to have such good quality of food in a good place. Come..Eat and Enjoy!!!

    The food was delicious and the ambience was great. It was fun to bring kids. The concept resembles the barbecue nation. The staffs were little slow, but that gives you time to enjoy your surroundings. It was a great experience with the live music. Pirates Theme is something new in Chennai.

    Usually we cannot expect good main dishes in buffet. But here, main dishes also taste good. Pros: Food taste Ambience Spacious Selfie space Starters (except that item covered with foil paper) Main course Service Chat Ice cola Green apple welcome juice Cons: Counters should be increased Nothing much.

    One of the best theme restaurant I would say. Best place to hang out with your friends or family. Ambience is really great. they have done a wonderful job kudos to that๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ Coming to food - starters are good not sooo great but you will like it. They also do have rabbit and other sea food counters. You can try all starters. It is different and taste good too. Desserts are also really good they do have many varieties. Please try and don't miss it. It will available on the main road so it's very easy to identify from normal traffic and they so have lot parking structure. Just go and enjoy. They also do have light music which was really great.

    Friendly staff Starters good Main course taste can be improved Desserts are good Starters and desserts almost match with barbecue nation. Main attraction to visit is pirates ambience Fish and prawns are good Tandoori and wings are nice. Pan icecream delicious You can get octopus here. I think for vegetarians the restaurant should add more tasty items whatever . But main course is ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿ‘Ž. Overall you should explore this restaurant.

    Buffet style and pirate themed restaurant with excellent main course and above average starters. Service was great and desserts tasted delicious. Good restaurant to go with kids. Some staff were clueless about location of certain items in main course. Overall had a good experience for the dinner buffet .

  • 3/5 Gomathi S. 4 years ago on Google โ€ข 42 reviews
    Black Pearl was quite raved among the IT community for it's theme and food. We as a team of 30 went to Black Pearl on a Thursday afternoon and was literally shocked to find the huge crowd it had. We booked in advance so we had no issues starting the lunch right away. Starters for veg was a less than the usual BBQ places. Non Veg starters had so many options and it had a separate live grill options too. It also had Pav Bhaji, Pizza, Twisted potatoes and much more. As for the main section, the options were limited. And most of the times went on standing in the line and searching for the plates/bowls. Desserts were okay. The main downside despite it's amazing ambience is the huge crowd. Will I go to this place again? Maybe Would I recommend this place to others? Yes Costly? Reasonable Good Food? Okay Ambience? Good Service? Okay

  • 4/5 Venkatraman P. 4 years ago on Google
    Have been to this place more than once. Huge facility at the heart of the IT corridor. Very nice thematic ambience suitable for office / personal parties and get togethers. Food quality and variety is good for the price offered. However, the service level seems to be bit down while the restaurant is crowded (almost on any day). There is a need for better crowd management, especially with those who come with a reservation.

  • 4/5 Jagadeesh J. 5 years ago on Google โ€ข 202 reviews
    Super cool place now in Chennai. I was a big fan of zblack pearl Bangalore. This themed restaurant gives a full experience for a laid out team lunch. The line up of food is amazing and the taste is definitely above the notch. Fun place to click funny pictures.

  • 3/5 Rajesh S. 5 years ago on Google โ€ข 99 reviews
    It's a theme restaurant (pirates), lot of items are there to click pictures. Good place for friends and office gangs. The buffet was good, lot of exotic non-veg items are served here like octopus, duck etc... EDIT: What happens when the restaurant had a good opening and review, they either improve their service more or take it to their head and perform badly. This one followed the second path. We had to wait for 30 mins to start the buffet, plates kept are not clean, and unable to serve the crowd in time. The veg buffet quality was very average but the non-veg buffet was good. Found a fly in the dessert and the restaurant offered 10% discount to compensate the same, Hope they improve their service and quality of food in future...

  • 4/5 parthasarathy S. 4 years ago on Google
    The food was really great the first time we visited. Everything was great but the next time it was disappointing. The taste and consistency was lacking. The vegetarian starters were good but non vegetarian starters weren't that way on our second visit. Main course and desserts were decent enough. There's good amount of parking space and the staff are polite. And of course the theme is great.

  • 3/5 Jerome K. 4 years ago on Google
    It's a pirate themed restaurant which is one of the best themed restaurant in Chennai. The ambience is really amazing but the food isn't as great as other leading buffets for this price. We went as a team of 22 using Dineout coupon, so it was 50% off. For veg it was 350 and for Non-veg it was 405 per head through this offer. There weren't as many varieties in main course.

  • 3/5 Ganga G. 4 years ago on Google
    Not sure it's because of Friday...food was not that good...bbqs were half cooked specially non veg. On the other had veg was super awesome, loads of variety. Can do better...expect them to do better.

  • 5/5 dr.Raaja bams, dr Raaja b. 4 years ago on Google

    Very good theme restaurant. Interior works are awesome. Food taste is good. Lot of varieties of veg and non-veg foods are available Very crowdy for dinner. Due to heavy crowd in evening, response of the waiters are very late. Go early in evening for dinner. Parking is available. Prices are average.

  • 1/5 Wil 4 years ago on Google
    Half cooked foods , No proper taste . Just one star for the Theme setup. If you would like to taste good then better dont choose this place. Utter waste, the place can be used to click only pics.

  • 5/5 DJ S. 4 years ago on Google
    Food was so delicious. Service 5*****. Had a good time on 31st December night but DJ was not an expert or 100% not fit for the party. Other than DJ everything was awesome . Both families and friends can enjoy In The Black pearl. Go and enjoy anytime ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿ•บ๐Ÿ•บ๐Ÿ•บ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ’ƒ.

  • 3/5 amuthaprakash k. 4 years ago on Google
    The taste and ambience are great and are worth for five stars. But on Sundays when I visit, there is heavy crowd and they struggling too much to serve. They are unable to provide dishes at the tables for the starters properly. Taste is really superb and is five starts or five + stars worthy. Ambience is so good and is also worth for five stars. Weekends they need allot restricted count or to try a better way to serve the visitors. Two options for weekend crecis 1. Increase the food cost on weekends, so that lesser people whom you can manage will visit. 2. Or restrict the count of users visiting on weekends by enable no more booking or cutoff booking like to the max limit.

  • 5/5 moorthy G. 4 years ago on Google
    Food is superb. Nice service and hospitality. Nice arrangements of the food items. May be little far away from city, nice location with good taste of grills and starters. Cost is worth to spend

  • 5/5 Lekhni S. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing ambience...just like s pirate ship. The food was very yummy. Service was quick. Good variety in buffet.... Christmas menu was excellent...specially for non- vegetarians.

  • 4/5 Devakarthik R. 4 years ago on Google
    A Pirate themed resturant. For the price would say the varieties present are plenty! Decent buffet. If you could find offers from other websites, then this would a jackpot! Good place for corporate lunch and dinner. And very good dine-in for Groups. Had a bad experience once on a week-end, as it would be too crowd. Otherwise a good place in chennai!

  • 2/5 chithra g. 3 years ago on Google
    Pathetic food. All dishes tastes same as same masala/flavour used for both nv and veg. Only satisfaction was dessert and icecreams.

  • 5/5 Jey g. 4 years ago on Google
    An appealing themed restaurant at the heart of OMR. Starters has wide range for both vegetarian & non vegetarians and main course is fine on its own. Loved the sides such as mini pizzas. Ambiance is cozy and we'll maintained. A money well spent and good for team outings. Pirate themed photo booths are fun.

  • 4/5 Madhav M. 4 years ago on Google
    Good service and decent good food. Wish there were more options in main course. Overall, it was a satisfactory experience for a modest budget.

  • 2/5 Raha r. 4 years ago on Google
    Great ambience but service need to be taken care they are at all professionally trained. Food variety yes indeed a lot but I'll not give 50% marks for the test. Yes once in a blue moon you can visit as not much of options nearby OMR.

    Very poor food quality

  • 5/5 B N. 3 years ago on Google
    Vegetarians will be more satisfied with this restaurant than non vegetarians, even though they have only lesser options, mainly because the veg main course is good. Items to try: POTATO TORNADO, Crispy Corn, Pineapple starter, Atishi Aloo, Paneer Tikka, Pasta, Pav Bhaji, Daal Makhani, ALOO GOBI ADRAKHI, Paneer Kurchan Spicy curry, Rasam, Ice Gola, GULAB JAMUN, PAAN ROLL ICE CREAM, JALEBI WITH RABDI, Paan Kulfi.
