  • 3/5 Padma Kumari B. 1 year ago on Google
    Munveedu is open now for dine-in from 12.00pm to 3.30pm & 6.30pm – 10.30pm. Tasted about h 6-8 dishes with my friends. All of them were good. The problem is they bring the order one after the other. Other wise the food was tasty. Been here umpteen times for their vfm set meal lunches costing 199/- But an al'a carte dinner was rather disappointing especially on the service front. Being almost 75% packed to capacity, waiters seemed to be at a loss on how to manage the situation... items delivered in bits and pieces thereby ruining the experience. Taste was nothing to complain about though.

    Went for lunch there was no wait.. they close there kitchen by 3.30 so better to book a table in advance if ur visiting late.. there is car parking available.. ambience is really good and neatly maintained.. the food was quickly served.. Crab lollipop is must try but they can serve with any spicy dip instead of ketchup.. kozhi soup was ok.. vanjaram fry was ok.. sura puttu had too much of egg and onion so tasted like egg burji.. briyani was good.. service is good.. all together good place to dine with family and friends. Kozhi soup-3/5 Vanjaram fry-3/5 Crab lollipop-5/5 Sura puttu-2/5 Prawn briyani-4/5 Elaneer payasam-5/5 Pot kulfi-5/5

    Awesome food. Authentic cuisine. Wide menu for veg and non-veg. Urulai varuval and mushroom pepper fry was highlight. The vazhapoo kulambu needs a special mention, superb taste. Finish it with a pot kulfi or elaneer payasam. Nannari sarbath in between the meal 😊. Kudos to the team. Great service. Highly recommended. A must try

    Heard about this restaurant in the past and got a chance to try it on a Sunday evening. Limited car parking within the premises but you can park outside. Menu consists of typical non-veg items from Tamilnadu as well as Roti, Naan varieties as well. Tried Saiva Eeral kuzhambu and Nattu kozhi kuzhambu with Idly and kal dosai. Excellent taste and liked it very much. My son ordered their signature Elaneer payasam and it tasted good. Other dessert of Mudka Kulfi was okayish only compared to the payasam. For those who are interested, they kept vettrilai, paakku and seeval also. Overall value for money.

  • 5/5 Surified Suraj R. 2 years ago on Google
    Authentic Tamil style traditional food, I was cruising through the space, simply searching for a pleasant spot to have lunch when I stumbled over this spot. Out front there a few group in a parklet and the scents of their food sold me. I went inside to discover another couple eating at one of the corners, and they were raving about the food. Everything looks OK. The spot is incredible and village style with a couple of corners inside, however they were doing a very decent takeout business. So I plunked down, looked at the menu and chose Mutton biryani , lamb curry and a rose milk . All were awesome, and since I like my food hot, they did and it was excessively (however at that point I requested it), yet everything I can say is that it was extremely tasty and I unquestionably will be back

    There are a variety of South Indian and Chinese dishes available at this restaurant. I tried some of their dishes like Mutton Chukka, non-veg meals, Sura Puttu, Squid Pepper Fry, and others which were all tasty. However, I did feel that the rice in the Naatu Kozhi Chicken Biryani was a bit dry. Additionally, the quantity of rice served with meals was less. Elaneer Payasam was good. Overall, it is a good place to dine with family and friends.

    munveedu is a restaurant located at Adyar Gandhinagar Chennai. we happen to visit this place for lunch. Here's what we Tasted nonveg meals , mutton soup, nattu kozhi idicha varuval. at munveedu they don't use artificial colors or food flavors. mutton soup was soothing 😌 very nicely prepared . nonveg meals spread consisted of chicken curry, fish curry, mutton curry, beetroot stir fry, board beans stir fry, dhal, rasam, buttermilk, rice, papad , payasam and pickle. curries don't come with mutton , chicken or fish it's just the curry. it was very average and bland spice levels were low. idicha naati kozhi varuval was also very average not spicy. overall budget friendly place 😌

    Ordered Chicken biryani through Swiggy. Got only breast pieces (what we call as chakka). Called the restaurant, the person who answered on phone didn’t come forward to take accountability. Just because the customers cannot question immediately the takeout orders, the restaurant should not take advantage of it. The customers pay price and should get what they pay for.

    *Without a doubt this restaurant is one of the unique ones in town that gives you completely different and traditional vibe with it's ambience structure. *Phulka, Parotta, Tandoori Wheat Paratha they all tasted good and the pricing was reasonable *Nattu Kozhi Pepper Chicken gravy was great in taste but slightly higher on the pricing *Crab soup was tasty and spicy -Ilaneer Payasam didn't taste fresh but was still okay *Outside atmosphere is very calm and quiet -However was disappointed as I couldn't find Tangdi Kebab on their menu.

    Good food. Soup and shrimp was really good. Elaneer payasam was too sweet and didn’t like the taste. Briyani was very tasty. Will recommend it to friends definitely

    This place is another Restaurant in town which from ambiance to food, it takes you through authentic South Indian taste. The place is easy to locate on Google map and they have ample parking space . I reached this place after 3 PM but they were ready to serve after that also. The staff is well trained and courteous . The ambiance gives you vibrant feeling with good decor. they have good seating arrangement . The prices are good keeping in mind the quantity they are serving. This is pocket friendly place. The taste of the food is quite good. Good place to spend time with friends and family

    Had lot of expectation for this place and finally visited. And my expectation was not satisfied. This food was very blunt with minimal spices. Tried their meals all their gravies chicken, Mutton and Fish all tasted the same with lite differences. Biryani was bot tasted like biryani.

    Munveedu restaurant 🤍 A decent restaurant in Adyar to visit with your family for your quality weekend dayouts . Loved the ambience. As the name suggests, they've recreated the ambience exactly like a Munveedu with a traditional touch by the paintings, ample lighting and their interiors. we tried their mutton soup, nandu rasam soup ,chicken Briyani, mutton Briyani and their traditional South Indian meals served with the perfect south Indian touch. For starter we ordered fish finger 🐟 , chicken lollipops 🍗 , crab lollipops 🦀 , kola urada , dragon chicken, sura poitu. Starters was fantastic .and it's a must try ilaneer payasam✌️ . It is located 10 mins away from Adyar Eco park. Parkings is too tricky . No big space but there will provide valet parking 🅿️.

    This is my first time visiting this restaurant. All the dishes we ordered was fantastic. Both quantity and quality wise. Price too seems to be in lower side when compared to similar restaurants. Only downside is if you are early on weekends, you need to wait in queue to get a table.

    A decent restaurant in Adyar to visit with your family for your quality weekend dayouts . Loved the ambience. As the name suggests, they've recreated the ambience exactly like a Munveedu with a traditional touch by the paintings, ample lighting and their interiors. Visited on a weekend and we tried their Sweet Corn Soup, Veg Biryani, Baby Corn 65 and their traditional South Indian meals served with the perfect south Indian touch. Baby Corn 65 was fantastic and it's a must try✌️Veg Biryani was good with a rich blend of ghee, vegetables and Cashews cooked with great flavours. South Indian meals is commendable. Their South Indian meals contains Keera Vadai, Lip Smacking Kesari, Keera Kootu, Kezhangu Poriyal, Sambar, Rasam, Vatha Kuzhambu, Buttermilk, Curd and Appalam which is be highly satisfactory for two people. It is located 10 mins away from Adyar Eco park.

    Ambiance and Space seems pleasant! Tried Mutton Briyani and Chicken Briyani, both had too much salt and one of the worst Biriyanis I have tried! 0/10 Briyani was very dry and tasted sour like that Eid went worst day ever!! Raita was below average than street shops! Packing is like hell seems like street vendors do much better packing! Seriously ! Never going to visit this place! Don’t get confused by the looks of the hotel, basic Briyani itself is below average!

    Been here multiple times. Have not been disappointed even once. Authentic Tamil style cuisine. Starting from their refreshing drinks, starters , unlimited meal options , desserts everything is excellent. The curries which they provided with the meals is sooo thick and tasty. My favorite dessert is their elaneer payasam. The place will generally be crowded , so better to do an advanced booking. Parking inside the premises is limited but vehicles can be parked on the road too. A must visit place for anyone who wishes to have a good heavy lunch/dinner.

    Good place to have lunch. They serve authentic Tamilnadu style dishes. Seafood dishes tasted too good. Ambiance is good. Elaneer payasam tasted too good and a must try. Price is slightly higher for certain dishes. Overall a good place to spend time with your family and friends.

    Atmosphere of the restuarant was very good it looks like traditional house of the south indian people. And the dishes name also was interesting they put the traditional name for their menu card. And main thing food was very tasty but the quantity of the food is less for the money. Really you can enjoy your food here try it.

    Ordered Nandu gravy and to my surprise found bone in it. When called the restaurant to our surprise they informed us that they add crab to the chicken gravy and make it as carb gravy. Mr. Vasu was so rude and arrogant to us .He told us that restaurants prepare food in this way!!!! My wife doesn’t take anything apart from sea food. Especially she is allergic to Chicken. Never have ever tasted chicken or any meat apart from sea food. When we told him he didn’t respond properly rather being very lethargic answering this is how we prepare our crab gravy!

  • 4/5 Geethapriya M. 2 years ago on Google
    Ordering takeaway for the 2nd time here. Loved their veg meals. 131/- Rs only The ambiance is good. Friendly atmosphere and staff. First time went with my mom and while waiting for veg meals parcel, we had ordered a sukku malli coffee. It was too grossly sweet for me. (I eat sweets, chocolates and cakes in minimal quantity, but avoid sugar completely in tea, coffee etc) I guess with the amount of panavellam in it I could have made sakkarai pongal at home. 😅 Those who avoid sugar or can't take too much sugar like me please let them know if your preferences beforehand. The meals was nice the first time we got it had pagoda and two different varieties of poriyal and a gulab jamun to boot. 😋 The one we got today no pagoda 😏 and only one poriyal. The elaneer payasam their todays special was amazing and my daughter liked it quite a lot. Reasonable and yummy in my tummy on the whole! Until we eat somewhere we eat again, chow! Stay safe and mask up till then.

    This is second time we are visiting manveedu. Unfortunately grap lalipop is stuffed only flour... and squid smells bad. For nannari sarbath they charging Rs.73. But it's not worth for money. Out of this, fish finger, dragon chicken, botti, mutton biriyani, curd are very nice.

  • 5/5 MohanaSundaram P. 9 months ago on Google
    We liked the ambience very much. Food was not the best but definitely very good. My wife liked the liver fry. They give chutney and sambhar for egg dosa. I loved it. I will say this is a must try restaurant.

    Ambience was okay, Food is not so good... could be much better, Most of the items were not available to order, Desserts were priced higher compared to other similar restaurants. Much to be improved in taste of the food.

    Had a chance to have lunch at Munveedu Restaurant. All the starters which we ordered were really good. Also went for Non veg Meals, Mutton and Chicken briyani.. Meals was really good.. Briyani seems to be ok, bit spicy.. HIGHLIGHT was their Elaneer Payasam..It's worth the try.. Good Ambience for friends and families who wish to spend time..GIVE A TRY ONCE ATLEAST..

  • 5/5 Arun J. 10 months ago on Google
    Food was good. Restaurant is neat, clean and made look like a old age style one. In my view it is a just a one time try place. Briyani is just a normal one, can't compare with any other. Meals is a best option.

    They refused to take phone appointment but allowed another family before us informing it was phone booking. Informed it was 10min waiting but took one hour for them to allow us in. Lost my appetite before my lunch. Go here if you have phone booking or ready to waste time
