About CHENNAI CENTRAL - South Indian Kitchen

CHENNAI CENTRAL - South Indian Kitchen is a restaurant serving authentic and flavorful South Indian dishes. The food is consistently rated highly, with specific praise for the fresh dosas, including the mysore dosa and masala dosa, which are deliciously toasty and made from properly fermented batter. The Thali is a popular draw, and other recommended dishes include the parotta with chukka and salana, paneer 555, Chennai chicken 65, and the biriyani, which is a highlight. The Indo Chinese options are also great. The sambar is thick, well-spiced, and full of vegetables, and the chutneys, particularly the tomato one, are amazing. Desserts like gulab jamun with ice cream are delicious. The buffet is considered one of the best. The service is friendly, attentive, and accommodating, with quick turnaround. The space is simple and comfortable. It is a very good place to visit for a satisfying meal.
