Amma Chettinadu Restaurant - Chettinad restaurant in Chennai - Chennai, India

Are you looking for nice ambient dining then you may consider this place. Authentic chettinad restaurant. Spicy and flavourful taste. MGR photo collections and MGR movie songs were played while we enjoy our food here. Truly an experience. Do check this place out.

Night tiffin at Amma restaurant..what a soft and delicious poratta ...mutton chukka simply superb. Must taste again.

Amma Restaurant has been around for over 3 decades and surely they get some things right. The menu features a variety of non-vegetarian dishes including 'exotic' dishes like rabbit. The starters are good, but the biriyanis can be better. A min vegetarian soup is served complementary and it's tasty! The service is also prompt and the staff are friendly. The staff also have us a banana once we finished our meal. The restaurant space itself seems to be an old house converted into a restaurant and it shows. Parking for cars is limited and the road can get quite narrow because people tend to park on both sides of the road. During our visit, there was an overflowing garbage bin with wet waste and it was emanating a strong odour. It definitely hampered our experience. I hope the restaurant management does something about it. Overall, this is a place I would recommend to non vegetarian lovers, but go in without any expectations. The restaurant has been hyped in the political and social circles because of it's association with MGR and hence it's usually crowded. Is it hyped up? Yes. Is it a bad restaurant? No.

Food quality and taste, service and atmosphere everything was good, except portion size. Though ordered side dish items were tasty, they were over priced for the quantity served. For example, chicken 65 had about 7 to 8 small pieces (may be 100g) but priced at 250 Rs., same goes with pichu potta chettinad pepper chicken as well. Some of you who might not like much of ghee flavor in Biryani, this might not be the biryani for you. On the contrary, ghee lovers will love the taste. They serve complimentary chicken soup on arrival for all, but didn't like the taste though (tasted more like diluted salna). Service was good and prompt. MGR songs in background gives you evergreen retro feelings while eating.

Basic ambiance but tasty food. Cost was reasonable. Veg, non-veg thali with unlimited food is available. Non-veg thali have different gravies but no meat, so you have to order meat separately. No roti or parota available for lunch. Only rice option is there.

Great food with excellent service and staff. Enjoyed their non vegetarian meals. Had chicken and prawn 65, mutton chukka, fish curry, egg podimas, squid varuval. Portions were slightly small but the taste was authentic. Loved it!

Great quality food. Extremely tasty. Good service. Ordered for the meals and mutton sukka and chicken 65. Extremely tasty. Only issue I had was that the quantity of the mutton sukka and chicken 65 was very very less but the taste was outstanding.. The meals were unlimited though. Service of the staff was very good.

This place in my wishlist finally I have tasted in this restaurant all the dishes are tasty specially mutton Chuka and Natu kozhi soup ambience also good
