Cheeni is a unique and flavorful South Indian restaurant that offers a formal sit-down experience. The restaurant boasts an exposed kitchen, where guests can watch chefs prepare dishes with fresh and flavorful ingredients. The menu is family-friendly, with a variety of options including vegetarian and gluten-free dishes, as well as a halal chicken option. The service is friendly and attentive, with staff happy to accommodate dietary restrictions and everything carefully labeled. The atmosphere is cozy but can get noisy during peak hours, with a small interior and outdoor seating available. Prices are comparable to other downtown restaurants, with a meal for two totaling around $113. Standout dishes include the muttakos medallions, baby brinjals, and paneer aur muttar pulao. The food is phenomenal, with spices having just the right amount of heat while showcasing the full flavor of each dish. With its nuanced flavors and welcoming atmosphere, Cheeni is a great way to mix it up with a new cuisine and a real treat to have in the area.
