Ponnusamy Hotel - South Indian restaurant in Chennai - Chennai, India

Ordered mutton and chicken biriyanis. Meat pieces are soft and juicy. Kola mutton is crispy outside deliciously tasty inside. Prawn cooked in perfect condition. Overall best dining experience with courteous staff.

Worst experience no of items reduced and food taste also worst cold food. Sea food smells raw and unable to eat. More over no items repeated Only what he served initial have to adjust for 4 members Additional rice he charged money Additional onion salad he charged money Don't waste money Rs 2600/ plus *gst * service tax I travelled all the way from Hyderabad to have this bad experience Just brand name nothing else No taste. No respect to customers .

This Chennai local restaurant is simple, no frill eatery that boasts excellent food when it comes to lunch thaali. The price is very reasonable, the service is excellent and above all the thaali meal is very delicious for any person who grew up in Chennai enjoying the local vegetarian lunch meal. The unlimited meals consists of two dry curries, buttermilk Kozhambhu(a veg gravy made with buttermilk), puli Kozhambhu(a veg curry made with tamarind base), lentil pappads, south Indian pickle, Sambhar ( a type of lentil based veg curry) and a very very tasty rasam(South Indian clear soup made with tomato base and spices). Best thing is that all items were not overpowered with salt and oil, as most restaurants in Chennai do. The waiting staff were very attentive and were on their toes in replenishing any items as needed. I would recommend this place to anyone who is visiting Chennai for a decent budget meals that is healthy and delicious.

Went for late lunch on 11/6/23 but it seems no bhaguballi dish on Sunday. Disappointed but we had our alacarte meal. Understand from the waiter bhaguballi meal is on weekdays only for around Rs2k....which can be eaten by min 4 person. Will try to feast that on our next visit.

Best place for traditional Chettinad style food and I've been a regular customer for last 25 years. Chicken gravy and Mutton gravy in a small metal bucket is their signature style of serving. Wonderful ambience and don't miss to try their soup it will relax your thirst to the core. Highly recommend spot and don't miss to try it out with your friends and family

The taste and quality of the food is good. The Briyani's are tasteful and feels authentic. I had ordered sides like mutton liver, brain fry and fish fry as well.. all of these were really good. The price is on the expensive side.

There is a well-renowned and established Chettinad cuisine restaurant located very close to the beach. However, when it comes to the food, it is not particularly impressive. I tried their Bahubhali Thali, which is meant to satisfy the appetites of four people, but unfortunately, the taste was not up to par. Additionally, the high price of 3,000 rupees was not justified at all

A regular customer for more than 35 years. The taste and quality has been fairly consistent. The ambience vastly improved with time. A few glitches in the service needs to be set right. When we ordered idly it was served hot but unfortunately the accompaniments were served very late and we had to eat the idly cold! So was it with other tiffin orders too. It would be good if both the items are served together so that we can have everything piping hot when it is served. After all we come wishing to have hot food.
