Good spacious restaurant. Had passed by this restaurant many a times but had never stopped to check the menu or what the restaurant was like.
The atmosphere was pleasant and the welcome was even more pleasant. We had gone just over an hour before it was about to close so had to make a hurried decision and order our food.
Tue person tending to us helped us make our choice and we were glad we ordered what we did.
The price of food was fair sub £50 which included drinks, 2 Starters and 2 main courses.
All in all a good night out...we definitely look into visiting again.
First time trying Southern Indian food, it was delicious. The lunch deal is amazing, generous portion and great value for money. The mini thali is such a delight for your taste buds and sight. Even the main menu offers pocket-friendly and large options to choose.
The waiter is super nice and attentive.
I highly recommend this place!
I absolutely adored the food and the service at Chettinad. Being on the lookout for a great South Indian restaurant, I relied on the reviews, and Chettinad exceeded my expectations. It's not often that reviews truly reflect the experience, but in this case, they absolutely did. The standout was the gentleman who served us. He had a remarkable understanding of our preferences and recommended a couple of dishes that turned out to be absolutely delightful. Beyond just the food, I am already looking forward to returning to try something new and to greet him with a warm hello.
Ordered the special Kerala Dum Biryani. Was a great meal but the biryani was too spicy for us all. I would recommend asking the chef to not add too much spice to your dishes if this is something you you struggle with. Portion size was great for the price, staff were very attentive. Authentic Kerala restaurant for sure!
Myself, my husband & 2 friends arrived at Chettinad for a meal. We ordered cocktails and wine before placing our food orders. Myself & my husband had the vegetarian mixed starter which was very nice. Our friends shared a meat & vegetarian starter & said that theirs was delicious. The main courses then arrived. I had chosen the vegetable korma. My meal was stone cold. The metal plate that it was on had no heat to it at all! My husband and our friends dinners were hot. I called the waiter over & explained that my meal was cold. He apologised & took the food away returning 2 minutes later with a new meal which was hot. The food was really good. I did not let this experience run out evening out as it was one of those things. I will certainly be returning.
We came to Leicester from Sheffield just to try food in Chettinad restaurant after reading the reviews. And didn't disappoint even a single bit. The food was really tasty and the person who served us today is kind and courteous. People like him are the reason why the restaurant is so famous. I forgot to ask his name(young chap). Please pass on our appreciation to him. Thank you Chettinad restaurant
excellent location to try South Indian cuisine. I tasted their masala chai and kottu paratha. The masala chai was great. As expected, the kottu paratha was nice. I and two of my companions tried the lamb and chicken kottu paratha. The lamb was good; I would give it a 6.5/10, while for the chicken, a 5/10 will do. It wasn't a bad deal, but because I'm a Sri Lankan and our country has the best kottu paratha, this one felt unfamiliar and unauthentic. This wasn't quite as good as the delirious ones I've had in my home country, though. You may give it a try. The cost was very reasonable. Cost: 29.50 for 2 kottu parathas and 3 masala chais. It was an inspiring deal.
Excellent value food, patchy service. Really enjoy the dosas and vegetarian soup.
Recommend the seafood thali: it’s a great selection of dishes.
If you like sharing starters, the Gobi 65 and Chilli Paneer complement each other very well.
Lovely food, good size portions at reasonable prices, we really loved the variety of south indian drinks too. With 1 drink, main, rice chapatis we spent about £12 per person. We will definitely come back here.
Truly authentic and quite rare South Indian cuisine. Home food far away from home. Great service, lovely staff, good ambiance. Highly recommended.
