am visiting chennai from US....for few weeks...... please suggest me some good hotels where i could some real chettinad food.. i know taj and le meridain doesnt really have any... any other hotels.. i remember trying it in madras international few years back...not sure how they are now.. please advise...
There is Karaikudi on Radhakrishnan Salai . they have another branch somewhere else! you can try that too!
All through Chennai u have Anjappar, Arasappar, Arasampatti, Ponnusamy, Karaikudi which are Chettinadu chain of restaurants.
It's a known fact, Five start hotels won't get u any authentic food. U need to try the branded hotels as members mentioned here. People go to these big restaurants only to show off in my opinion. You get good food all over otherwise
Ponnuswamy is the best for true and authentic Chettinad cuisine. After that, I would suggest Aachi's on Montieth Road.
