On Friday night my work colleges and I had a wonderful dinner at Chennai Palace. The ten of us were seated in some cosy booth seating next to their impressive function room.
Our group had a collection of tastes to cater to and they delivered. Vegan, vegetarian and omnivores alike all left completely satiated.
We had mixed entree to start with, which was comprised of their chicken tikka from the tandoori, the best samosas the group had ever tried and pakoras with paneer and mixed veg in their cumin spiked batter.
Main comprised of naans, rice, a vegan eggplant dish which was the tables favourite, vegan dhal, saag paneer, butter chicken, a South Indian prawn curry and tender goat curry served on the bone. Everything was perfectly spiced and the heat of all dishes, meant that everyone enjoyed their meal and no one struggled through a wall of chilli.
We finished our meal with the Gulab Jaman which was just the right size after such a large meal.
The prices on the menu are all very reasonable and they BYO too.
Be sure to crack open a Kingfisher Beer and have the best Indian Food outside of India
Absolutely amazing food!
The rice, of all things, is perfect (not one grain sticks to another) very light and fluffy.
The staff are always pleasant and helpful.
I can't say enough about this place.
It is always my first restaurant i go to & is always the first for me to recommend. ���
My Son’s First Birthday Party
I had the most wonderful birthday party of my son’s first year, which I hosted on 4th July in Chennai Palace. The service was excellent, value was good and the party hall was cosy and atmospheric with gorgeous light fittings and fixtures. Chennai palace has always been a top favorite of mine - one of the reasons being its owners Vasanth and Poongudi, who are really enterprising and accommodative given any circumstance.
The food was amazing and having a buffet allowed a taste of everything. I chose the Chicken 65, Kadai paneer and carrot halwa which was divine. All food was prepared afresh with nice level of warmth - tasty but not too spicy - and just enough to enjoy the full meal.
It was the perfect end to an excellent day and I had such a good time/meal/experience, I'm going to give full 5 stars and am already eagerly anticipating my next visit! This place is definitely worth a visit and it certainly won't break the bank!
