I had been craving authentic South Indian food for a long time, and I finally found the perfect place! The Idli, Dosa, Sambhar, and Coconut Chutney were absolutely spot-on—fresh, flavorful, and comforting. We tried the Masala Dosa, Egg Set Dosa, Mini Idlis, Gobi Lasuni, Mutton Starter, and the Kotu Veg Paratha—everything was delicious and cooked to perfection. Every bite took me right back home!

The only letdown was the Payasam dessert, which was a bit too sweet and milky for my taste—but everything else more than made up for it.

The speed of service was great, and the ambience was warm and inviting—perfect for a relaxed meal. Special thanks to Chef Kumar, Manager Joyti, and Raghu, who took our order and gave amazing recommendations.

Thoroughly enjoyed the experience—this is now my go-to spot for South Indian food!

Since I checked positive reviews about taste of Chennai I thought I should give it a try ….order was ready to pick up in less than 10 minutes. I’m big into biryani’s but this is very disappointing getting something like this. just two pieces of dry chicken without any masala. It doesn’t look fresh at all …

We were driving to Long Island from NY & were so hungry & decided to stop by for lunch. Was craving dome indian food. A quick google search revealed many restaurants near Hicksville. The name Taste of Chennai somehow was so inviting and was rated high as well so we decided to give it a try!! And boy! Oh boy!! We are so glad we did. We tried an all vegetarian meal - paneer kababs, paneer tikka masala, chili paneer, dal and garlic nan. Food was so yummy, portions were large and served fresh and steaming hot. Never in the recent paste did i eat so well & so full! Give it a try & see it for yourself!!

Very calm, cozy and cute spot! Loved the masala tea. The kothu parotta(s) are a must-try!
