Top 5 Restaurants to Dine at in Chennai

Food and Lifestyle 

There is something about good food. It is an aphrodisiac for the soul and has the ability to transport you to a different world; a lovelier world of gastronomy and gourmand.

I have traveled and lived across the country. The change was the constant factor of my life. My lifestyle, my environment, my house, a lot of things changed as I traveled. One thing that did not change was my love for food and that has taken me to some exquisite and elegant places in Chennai, exploring the taste buds.

It is a misnomer that if you are a North Indian, you need to survive on only South Indian food in the Tamil Nadu Heartland. Here are a few restaurants that will add to your fine dining experience-

1)         The Great Kebab Factory Radisson GRT- It is located at St Thomas Mount and is popular for Mughlai, North Indian and Barbeque dishes. As the name suggests, it offers a great variety of vegetarian and non-vegetarian kebabs that will fill your senses with foodgasm and you won’t have enough of it.
My favorites from this place would be Galauti Kebab and the Achaari Paneer.

2)   Peshawari, ITC Grand Chola- Located in Guindy, this place was a staple for the business luncheons. The sophisticated and uniquely designed place offers great ambiance, good food, and overall a great dining experience. The food is served in ochre color earthenware and the menu is painted in the block of wood. The place is a must try.

3)    Up North- The Raintree Hotel- It is a rooftop restaurant at Teynampet. It is known to serve the most authentic Punjabi Food in the city. Ensconced in the Violet light, the ambiance is quite perfect for a romantic meeting or when chilling with family after a long day at work. Do try their “Dal and Chawal” Menu.

4)   Southern Spice, Taj Coromandel- How can you be in the Southern heartland and not try the authentic South Indian Cuisine? Step into this award-winning restaurant for some good South Indian Flavours. The richly designed interiors, the gourmand menu will transport you back in time, satiating your heart and taste buds.

5)   Little Italy: For those who love Italian, this place is the personification of Italy. If you are a vegetarian, this place will pamper you with its delicious spread of Italian food. This Food haven at Besant Nagar is quite easy in your pocket too. Try their Ravioli and spaghetti.
