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

Wow! Why they aren't rated higher, idk. This place has some of THE BEST Indian food I've ever had. And I'm super picky!

& Their menu is HUGE. Never seen an Indian restaurant with this many options, wow!

The smells outside & inside will make you crave this food!

Highly recommend the Gobi Manchurian, along with the Chili paneer. Or backwards, paneee manchurian & Chili Gobi. All are FIRE! Their mint chutney is amazing too! 10/10!!!

We did lunch on Sunday and hit the buffet. The food was good, i think we tried almost everything, and the selection is bigger than at other places. It was decently clean, and service was good, price was not that crazy either. We'll come here again.

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.
