Patina - Indian Diner - Parsi restaurant in Chennai - Chennai, India

Randomly found this little cafe on Zomato, it has a cute and a bit quirky ambience. The food we had here had two new things we tried for the first time - Papeta par eeda and the Chilli cheese pav with chicken and they were sooo good! For the main dishes we had Curry Macaroni with chicken and Oil and Herb pasta, these two also had a good taste. Overall we liked all of what we tried here!

Nice chilled out place with interesting decor and feel-good ambience. Food is simply mouthwatering delicious. Staff is super friendly and polite, not with just the customers but amongst themselves as well, which was a delight to see. A must try.

A very pleasant cafe with some minimal yet quirky decor. It shares space with the Wood Pecker showroom in Besant Nagar and it is very easy to locate. This place had been on my bookmarks since the day It opened to the public. I was quite excited to dine here because of the unique Parsi cuisine which is pretty hard to find in the city. The staff were very hospitable and welcoming. The service time was as mentioned in the menu, 15 - 20 mins. The food arrived hot hot and fresh. I personally loved the Rava Prawns! A must try for all the Prawn lovers out there. A brilliantly crafted dish! The Malaya Fish Kari with tender, fresh fish cooked in turmeric and coconut milk was quite phenomenal. I loved the coconut touch to it. Definitely recommended. The Chicken Pakoras also make for a great, delicious starter. They were super hot and crisp, right out of the pan! The Curry Macaroni was a great spin off of the classic Macaroni. This was scrumptious. The Masala Mushrooms were yum! It tasted good on its own! But this would be perfect with breads or even rice! It comes in a semi-solid consistency and is loaded with Amul cheese. The Caramel Custard and the Peach Melba Sundae were quite a great end to the meal. The Custard was a usual though but perfectly moulded and taken out. The sundae was super rich as it was loaded with apricots and raspberry sauce! Loved it.

This place is inside a furniture showroom. Bit difficult to find from main road when you follow google maps. Apart from that it's a great place for delicious food and good time. Love the lights and ambience. There are many spots for photos. The tea was so good. Loved the fries and how they served. We had different kinds of pastas in Which the oil flavoured one was okay okay, cheese pasta was delicious and worth the price paid.

It's a cafe inside woodpecker showroom in besant nagar. The ambience is nice. They have limited but interesting menu. The service is also quick. Nice calm place to have a conversation. The only concern I had was with Ac not being cool enough even after telling the staff.

Delicious food and great ambience! There is ample space for parking and is situated in a very strategic location in besant nagar We had the hot chocolate classic with bun and nutella Didn't think a simple bun could taste that good! The next dish was the eggs akuri The eggs were soft and it had the right amount of masala The veg patina sizzler was also good They gave it along with fries and a veg cutlet made of beetroot The staff were very courteous and I would definitely visit again !

This cute little diner, located in the prime of Besant Nagar serves a range of desi food from niche cuisines like the parsi cuisine, Maharashtrian, etc. Priced at value for money rates, their dishes have a certain flair for comforting flavours that transport you home. They do take a fair bit of time to prep your dishes, but I can promise it's worth the wait! Would recommend any day :)

Would say a desi-western step up cafe which serves dishes with desi touch and the space shares with some home decor outlet both having the same entrance so you can eat as well as shop to fulfill you home interior needs. Ordered Chilly cheese vada pav which slightly tasted more like cheese burger. Aloo samosa was very usual nothing different and aloo masala was little bland. Loved their Curried Macaroni.The ambiance is great and well suited for young crowd and for family hangouts.
