Ponnusamy Hotel - Nungambakkam - Chettinad restaurant in Chennai - Chennai, India

Ordered Bahubali Thali for three. Difficult to pick one item in the spread. Very tasty dishes 1. Mutton Gola Urundai was crispy and tasty 2. Parotta was tasty too Cost Rs 2888 including taxes

Not the best restaurant. They didn't had veg buriyani, grape juice, goli soda, idiyappam - half of the item not on the menu. Came with wrong bill to our table. They said no straw for lemon soda. The ambience was not okie at all (May be due to construction) food was oily - Brian fry is good (only item was okie). Mutton chunks and bone soup was very spicy.

We usually prefer here for having lunch (meals) when we go near by this location. The food quality is really good and authentic. We went here for food to my 2 yr old son and requested for some favour to get some specific item which they offered. The staffs were very kind and cooperative. Their biriyani and tandoori starters are good. They also have small space for kids to play around but this should be improved much better so that customer can use this.

This ponnusamy restaurant is actually a historical hotel which has its story over dhan 70 years , but anyhow the food I ordered was mostly starters and it was not that good , the food here is okay but for the price we give them is too high so that food there is not that much great , buy anyways if you need to eat in a good atmospheres this place is okay

Can visit the hotel for Baahubali Thali. Felt the other items on the menu were slightly overpriced. Thali was decent with so many varieties. Most gravies were a tad too much spicy. Can finish the thali if all four are decent eaters, else you are going to end up pushing the food around. We had to wait for more than 45 mins for our thali, which was a bit demanding. Service person were pretty much average, nothing special or extraordinary about them. Will never suggest for a regular visit. Try once Just for the thali. Else it's just overrated.

Visited for 50 items babhubali thali. The waiting period is high. Actually there is no enthusiasm from staff in serving their special dish. Reach by 12:30 if u want your thali be served by 1:30 PM. Half the items are good and other half are average. Now the price is 2500 plus 5% GST. Felt the thali is worth around 1500.

First of all, the items were too pricy for its quantity. On top of that, they don't look like they look in the menu. The service was bad. They don't even serve. Food taste and all was average. Waste of money.
