Chennai Eats is a hidden gem for anyone craving truly authentic South Indian flavors. The food is consistently fresh and bursting with the kind of taste that instantly transports you back home to India. Their appetizers, especially the idly and vada are spot on.

Food is extremely authentic - this is coming from a food snob south Indian.

Salna and parotta - 5/5 . The goat was so tender, fell off the bone

Chicken 65 - 4/5. Flavor is great but can be served with more onions and some green chutney

Chicken Manchurian - 5/5
