My wife and I went to Chennai Palace for lunch . We originally came for the buffet, which is only available on the weekends now. They still have really good Indian food. We had the boneless Chicken Biryani #210 and the Aloo Gobi Masala #161, a vegetarian dish made with potatoes and cauliflower, which is my wife's favorite. My only complaint is that the Biryani didn't have a lot of chicken, but the flavor profile was good, and their garlic Naan is the best. The service was a little slow, but they only had one waiter working by himself, so it didn't bother us. We both used to be in the restaurant business . We will have to come back on the weekend for the buffet. l remember it being very good. I always look for a good deal, so a Groupon is available to save money, but it's not good on the weekend.

Update: went to the restaurant again. Food was still ok but this time we ordered Ras Malai and owner served us Rasogulla. When we brought this to their attention they showed us the box saying that the box says it’s Ras Malai. It’s the responsibility of the manager/owner or server to check for the item if it’s right item or not. We showed them what Ras Malai actually is by showing the item on Google search and they just kept referring to the box. A bit disappointing. We didn’t care about paying for the desert but it’s bad to see that an Indian restaurant owner does not know the items listed on their own menu. 2. Update the menu card given to customers in the restaurant with the updated new prices. The menu which is being given has old low prices and when the bill comes you are surprised to see the items prices $1-$2 up for all individual items. Old: We went to the restaurant on Friday evening for dinner. Place was almost empty for a Friday night but May be it was because of the location. It’s almost hidden and definitely need some better visibility. This is the first time I went to this restaurant. Place recently got new ownership and we heard from the owner that things are getting on track. Whatever we order was available, food was delicious and value for price. Portion size was good and quality of the food was also good. Perfectly balanced spices in all the dishes. Order: We order Ghee Roast Dosa, Andrakara Masala Dosai, Chicken Kothu Parantha, and Chicken Curry with Garlic Naan. Dosas were good and chutneys were also balanced. Sambhar was a bit too oily for general dosa style but taste and consistency wise it was good. Kutthu parantha was sufficient for one person for dinner and it was tasty 😋. Chicken curry was good by portion for price and fresh with good quality all around. With all that good quality, I hope that the new owners Keep the quality to this level at-least and improve on services a bit. Some improvements on the service side is required to reduce the waiting time for the food especially try to get the order of one table first so that all members can start eating together rather then waiting for 20-30 minutes when other members have already had their food. Maybe extra capacity in kitchen and 1-2 extra servers.

They have a great fish fry and biryani, and the service was excellent. I would recommend it.

I went in there yesterday with a friend . We ordered paper dosa , egg curry , kottu paratha , chile bature. The dosa wasn’t great , it was bland and the texture wasn’t great- not moist, just crispy. The egg curry was delicious - tad bit spicy for toddlers. The kottu paratha and bland- would not order again . The chole bature was awesome . The ambience is regular , clean- the people were kind and provided decent service . The quality of food needs to improve to how it was before .

We ordered takeout. It was mediocre/okay. Good things: - Sauces were good. - Samosas were very good. - Vegetables were good. Bad things: - Very little meat. (Costed the most) - Lots of bones. (Costed the most) - Not a lot of rice. (Sad face) Neutral: - You have to order Naan seperately. We did not know. So we did not have Naan. Overall, it was 100 bucks takeout for a meh dinner. We hope for future improvements.

I have been to this restaurant several years ago and have another try. Ordered medu vada, veg kothu parotta and veg chettinad curry. Medu vada is so hard and bad. But the sambar came with it was outstanding. Chettinad curry was decent. And kothu parotta was the worst. Being a chennai restaurant had high hopes on it and turned out to be the worst among all. Checked their buffet and it was over priced during the weekend for the items provided. Honestly I’m being generous to give a 3 star rating. Service is fine and ambiance inside is good with plenty of parking.

A sign on the counter said “Give a 5 star review and get $X discount”. That explains all the 5 star reviews. Had I seen this first, would have skipped the place. Tried their lunch buffet last week. Most of the items were too spicy. Veg Chettinad and Tandoori had excess food coloring which struck to my fingers for hours after washing with soap. Lassi was watery, dhal payasam was solid like pongal, rice kheer had excess cinnamon, Fish fry had excess masala. Naan, panner tikka masala, Noodles, Goat curry, Veg Pakoda and Sweet aval tasted good. Everything else was average or below and not worth the price. Was charged 18% service charge for the buffet. Haven’t seen this practice in other Indian Buffet places. We won’t be dining here again anytime soon.

Terrible. Was excited seeing the name with me from Chennai. Very widespread menu which was so tempting but whatever you ask it won’t be available. They just make one type of briyani but they will have 6-7 types in menu same goes with appetizers, curry and everything which narrows down to only 20% in availability list. We ordered fish fry, sambar rice, podi uthappam, gobi manchurian. Fish was good luckily. Sambar rice was so bad. It was just bland dal rice with no tempering or spices. Gobi manchurian tasted okay but the food color was soooo much that it did not leave my fingers until 2 days. Podi uthappam came with 2 chutneys and sambar. Podi uthappam was below average, sambar was terrible, coconut chutney was good but not fresh, other chutney was okay. They have very nice and big space but wasted. They have good bar but bartender was not there so they just had flying horse beer. More than all this the lady server over there should learn hospitality. Very bad service by her. Second good thing about restaurant after ambience is the gentleman who also served us. He did amazing service. I am not sure if management changed because I saw good review because of which I came here. People working also did not know any dish by name they wanted serial number. Disappointed. Not at all recommended.

We ordered chicken and mutton biryani, we really disappointed with food. Food is very bad, we opened the food as soon as we received, the Chicken Biryani getting bad smell and chicken also not cooked well, thrown everything. After tasting this, we didn’t even open mutton biryani.

I have never left a review for any restaurant before, but the service yesterday was so horrible I felt it must be shared. We stopped in on our way to a Phoenix Mercury game with another couple. 30 minutes after ordering the waitress brought out 1 of 5 dishes. No plates or silverware we provided. I requested same, to no avail. I went to the closed buffet but there was no silverware. After stopping at every other occupied, the waitress picked up 4 plates from the buffet, holding them against her chest on the way to our table. We Then had to ask for napkins. After another 30 minutes we still did not have the remaining dishes so we advise to cancel the balance of our order as we needed to leave to get to the game. Miraculously our other dishes arrived, we provided a credit card, were not provided a receipt and left never to return to the restaurant that provided the most horrible dinning experience I have ever encountered.

I generally think twice before posting negative reviews, we visited chennai Chettnad on July 9th afternoon for lunch buffet and it was horrible. 1) Room temperature was set to 80 and it was 83, response we got when we questioned was that AC was broken..folks working there were sweeting who were refilling food and we did. 2) None of them we wearing headcaps or gloves but were still sweating and refilling 3) total food items on Buffet was less than 10 items and we were charged $19. 4) chicken 65 and Gobi 65 was burnt and felt like reheated multiple times..felt stale. 5) Hot rice items were put on polythene wrapers see pics.. these were served as if they are serving for beggars.. no chicken in biryani 6) Filling water they took for ever and Nanns were served towards end when most were already done eating. 7) 20% gratutiy was by befault added inspite of all these pathetic service. 8) Sweet was Mysore pak and it was pulled from freezer outright.. it was soo hard no was able to take a bite. Never going to visist this place. Especially to spend $19 for stale food and eating in oven. See pics

I’m unsure what to say because to me this is extremely disappointing but maybe it’s normal for tandoori chicken to be like this but it was burnt to a crisp. Literally didn’t eat any because it was so tough and gross. I’ve had tandoori a few other places and it had a good char but wasn’t black and dry. Here is a photo of it as well. Let me know if this is normal and I need to just order with less burnt next time. Thanks

Outside, place is worn & in need of a face lift. Inside, decor is dated. Bathrooms were unclean, trash overflowing, dirty sinks, floors had dead bugs, & a bad sign of things to come. First impressions matter & gave us the impression this place was a mistake to try and were we right. I don’t know what other people see or are eating, maybe they do know what Indian food is supposed to taste like or quality. Poor representation of Tamil Nadu first off. Boyfriend was insulted that this place calls itself authentic, he is from Tamil Nadu and found the food disgusting. I’m American who knows authentic Indian food. This is not it! We ordered Medu Vada for an appetizer,didn’t get it until late in the meal & only after asking our waitress where it was. She said, it was being made fresh. Thus, giving us the impression our main course was not fresh. Service was horrible, the girl spent more time in the kitchen then taking care of the two tables in the dining area, and she couldn’t do it well either. She had no clue about the menu or food being served. She needs proper staff training. She was not attentive or knowledgeable. We ordered Saag(spinach) paneer and butter chicken masala, paratha bread and chapati bread. Our main course came first and with only one bread. We had to ask her where is the other bread and she was, “oh, I forgot to bring it.” She couldn’t deliver what we ordered and was absentminded. The Saag paneer was cooked properly but not served hot, the butter chicken had good flavor but the chicken was overcooked and tasted old so I pushed the chicken aside and ate only the masala. The basmati rice was okay. Both breads were not fresh, they tasted like frozen pre-made and probably were. When the appetizer finally arrived we were nearly done with our meal, it was bland and cake like. We asked for a take away box and it took her over 10 minutes to bring it, I could’ve got up and went to the servers station and got one myself faster. We could her here in the kitchen, again! The gentleman at the next table got up and went to the kitchen after 25 minutes of no server, to ask where his food was. He was so upset he left, then minutes later a staff member came out of the kitchen, we assume with the other customers food, sat down at a table and proceeded to eat the food. Shameless! Unprofessional! Even after we got up to leave, our waitress did not clean the other customers table, she went right back into the kitchen, horrible professionalism. I don’t know how this place stays open. Serious staff issues, horrible customer service, unclean dining area & bathrooms, and food that cannot be called authentic Indian anything. For $48.00 I expect better food, better serves, and a clean atmosphere than what we received. Overall, a disappointment! I cannot recommend this place nor will we be back! It is not authentic by any means and an insult to all Tamil.
