This place is the best in terms of quantity they give, really worth the price. The taste also is appreciable. A must try for the vegetarian Pan Asian food ๐
Best food Iโve had during lockdown. Will only be ordering from here henceforth.
Food is Super delicious.. I ordered Veg Balls Manchurian (Dry), Chilli Panner, Baby Corn chilli Corandiar Sauce (Main Course) and Everything all the way from Adyar to Pursaiwakkam It was super hot and tasty with Great Portion .. they were quick with service.
Thank you Nitesh sir for making it even during pandemic to this far. Keep up the work. ๐๐
Lent is the perfect time to hit veg places.Flowerdrum strikes you with ample parking space.A dingy lift ride to the fourth floor leads to 2 terracotta warriors.The Chin-thai veg menu is balanced.It lends an ear to the populist grub but also experiments copiously.The sesame oil garnish on the noodle,the attention to dim sum dips & the huge portions are all very enticing.Had no qualms but the loo are could be cleaner. Also they should try to make the most out of the flyover view.The fried ice cream had too much batter & was fried too much.Check timeless China town for reference.Bon chance !
I have never had such a Chinese food ever in my life. It's a little far away from my house otherwise I would have come every alternative day. Wonderful food!!
Went for a family gathering yesterday. Good thing first - ample parking space. Decent food - both quantity & quality. Fairly priced. So, all basics checked.
Something to look into. The entry/reception area need some care. The whole place (including the dining area) smells like a food joint. Restaurant should have better air !
The washroom - is heavily used by staff & not usable for guests. The petrol bunk nearby has better maintained one !
And service - folks just dump things & walk off. And the so called incharge was aloof on the business & more on a single table + mobile for the whole evening.
The brand has some name in city & we have been given the taste of Asian food by some superior outlets in the city. So, if this has to sustain - they have to learn the basics of setting up & running a restaurant.
Nice candle light dinner with my hubby..good ambience and very tasty food..
The ambience and the music was really soothing. The staffs were very helpful and courteous in choosing and serving the food. The quantity served for two people was abundant. The food was very appetising and delicious. Overall, best experience!!! ๐๐
-Good Chinese and thai food, they have a good variety of starters.
-Lemon grass seems to be on most of their dishes.
-It's a good culinary experience.
-Restaurant is not equipped to take in full capacity, so better go early on busy days like the weekend! Must try once
-The best place to have Chinese vegetarian food
-Service is very well and Good courteous staff
-Pricey, food started only at โน300
Overall,
Food- 4/5
Ambience-4.5/5
Price-3/5
Service- 5/5
Maintenance-4/5
Great food. Amazing ambience. Courteous staff. What else do you need in a restaurant? Great place overall. Momos are a must try and the starters are heart warming
1. Food:
Super tasty and the portion size was way too much. The dumplings, fried rice and the main course was exactly how I wanted it. Didn't know veg food could taste this good ;)
2. Ambience:
Quiet and cozy. A little dark for my liking during the dinner time, but, all in all good.
3. Staff:
Very courteous and helpful with the service. We got a corner table, so, it became a little difficult to call them at times, but, I don't blame them for this.
4. Suggestions:
In terms of the business, portion size can be reduced a little (1 bowl was rice was way too much for even 2 people).
Include more Chinese style desserts or just in general include more desserts.
Thanks for the nice experience.
PS: I forgot to take proper pictures this time.
This was my first time eating at Flower Drum, Adyar (have been only to the KK Nagar one before.) I went here with family today โ lovely experience โ will definitely go here once again.
Reasons why this place is good:
FOOD:
1. Generous quantities
2. Good quality
3. Hygienic and clean
4. 100% veg. Jain food available on request
5. Affordable, came to Rs 338 per head
SERVICE:
1. Polite and courteous staff
2. Good ambience
PLACE:
1. Spacious car park (can park about 40 cars)
2. Presence of ramp and elevator โ easy for people with disabilities and senior citizens

Only complaint is that today being a Saturday, there was a huge crowd which turned up. Towards the end of our meal (when crowd got really big), service became slow.
Word to the wise: please reserve a table before you go (which fortunately, we did.)
Otherwise, a fun place to eat at!
The food is really good. From soup to starters to main course everything is great. Quite please with the ambience. Overall a must visit place if you love chinese food.
Very good ambiance and great food.
A wide spread of variety.
This place will surely give huge smiles and satisfaction for their amazing food.
Will surely visit again
Amazing Chinese and Thai food and it's only vegetarian. Pretty good ambience. It's on the main road with plenty of parking space. Good and fast service.
Tasty food with so much variety in veg Chinese
Quantity is high and good place for large groups
Prompt and fast service . Ambience is also decent enough with good car parking space
The best outlet the serves Chinese and thai food. A must try vegetarian place. The customer service was really good as well. :) one of the must try dishes is yellow thai curry and ice katchang.
Superb food, awesome ambience and amazing service..Must visit..excellent placeโ๏ธ
I think it's the best Chinese food you can get in Chennai..
One of the fastest services here. The food is served very very quickly. And it is delicious! The Chinese hot and sour soup is bang on, the mushroom thai starter has a very unique taste and kudos to the Flower drum special rice. Good and polite service that catered to great food!
The restaurant is located in Adyar with loads of parking space. Up four floors in a rickety elevator youโre transported to one of the best places serving all vegetarian Chinese and Thai food.
Super impressed with the restaurant staffโs values. We were going to over order and the waiter told us what would be adequate and he was right. This was easily the high point of the experience and it got better with the very tasty food.
The crispy corn, dim sum, Sichuan fried rice and mixed vegetables in Sichuan sauce were lip smacking good. In fact they were so good I didnโt remember to take pictures of all we ordered.
The tables are spaced well apart and the staff unobtrusive.
My recent visit to flower drum was a very pleasant one. I had ordered salt and pepper mushroom for starter and for main course I had Chinese chopsey and hakka noodles with flower machurian.. The dish of the day for me was the Chinese chopsey it was very good. Other main course a let down as I felt the taste was not that great.chineae chopsey is a must try dish in flower drum.
Went for lunch, liked the rounded sitting arrangement which is great if you go in a group, the food and service is good, staff is friendly. They have high rise seats for babies in case you are going out with kids.
You can try their variety of soups and desserts.
Food is amazing. Great quantity as well. The waiters are properly managed. Very authentic food. The ambience was warm and cozy. The Momos they serve here are too good. The Fried rice and noodles they serve here are excellent. Coming here is a great experience
One of the best Ambience that I have ever experienced. The food was wonderful, tasty and on the whole was a peaceful and divine experience..
First of all an all Veg thai and chinese cusine is a treat for all Vegetarian foodies. The ambience was pleasant and they have lots of tables. So this restaurant is definitely a good place to have talk and eat. They also have parking for two wheeler and car.
They food was good. We tried veg momos, thai ball curry and shangai fried rice..all tasted good and the quantity was more than expected. If you are a average eater then ordering one shangai fried rice would be enough for two people to feel full. A must try place. The cost for a person would be around 400.
Awesome food... Starters were so yummy ... And great quantity... Nicely managed crowd of 40ppl... ๐ My favorite place foever ... if you are craving for nice starterz the next word is flowerdrum.. ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ
The best place in Chennai for pure veg Chinese. The starters were just awesome. Monchow soup was out of the world. Staff was also very courteous and polite. A must have experience if you are in Chennai
I visited here for lunch on Friday. The place was well lit. The staff in the place were very nice. They took us to our table and help us decide. The person who served us was very helpful. There was a nice music being played.
Food wise we went for
Starter : Panner Dragon style - 9/10
Main course : Vegetable ball gravy - 8/10
Rice : Chinese Fried rice - 9/10
Amount spent - Rs.900

Great food,,, one of the best place to taste asian cuisine,,,, momo wer awesome and the thai curry was mind blowing with noodles,,,, will visit again,,,,
Beautiful decor, courteous staff, great food, sumptuous quantity. A wonderful experience. After a long time I was satisfied with the quality, quantity, taste of the food. Keep up the great work, food and cosy decor.
After having previously overlooked this restaurant because it was purely veg, this time I had decided to give it a try and I was pleasantly surprised.
The food here is really good. The flavours are rich and for those hard-core pure non veg folk who would like to give a pure veg meal a try, I would definitely recommend this place and one can easily forget that its only veg coz of the quality and taste of the food which doesn't leave you craving for some chicken or any other meat.
Definitely will revisit this place and I recommend anyone to give it a try.
A good spot for couples to hang out. Road side view is good. Staffs are very friendly.
Though a felt a bit down with the candle light arrangements, but it was worth the money.
The staffs were good enough to let me know that ordering 1 dish would be enough for a couple. And it was filling as well.
For 2ppl, it costs around 1k.

I loved the food here 100% veg is totally unique.
Ambience is excellent and the music they play is also beautiful.
Hugh parking behind Gage building.
Fride ice cream is awesome.
Thank you guys. It was a great Christmas this year.
The place has parking and is located on the 4th floor. I decided to go to this place after reading several positive reviews. I wasnt disappointed at all. They have courteous staff, prompt service and are accommodative.
The veg dimsum platter is good and has about 12 pieces. The stirred fried broccoli is WOW. The family soup bowl is a great deal to have. The family soup bowl is sufficient for 5 people. You can chose the soup of your choice. The quantity of the other dishes is also a lot.
To summarize the positives would be :
1. Good on quality and quantity
2. Easy on the purse
3. Only vegetarian
4. Candle light dinner on Wednesday
5. Parking space
6. Friendly staff
Been here for a farewell treat. The food is great, tasty, affordable buffet, etc. The service is also amazing. The ambiance is set in a mellow mood playing some Asian music... I would recommend this to anyone.
Very good in taste and filling as well.
One of the very good Chinese food in Chennai.
Ambience and the flower style table attracts the first time visitors. And to pull back those visitors many more time is taken care by the food and the staff. Thanks to Mr Nitesh Surana and team for very well coordination and support.
Awesome Food & Superb Service by Adyar FlowerDrum Team.
The service was quick enough and no delay at all.
Overall it was a pleasure having food here
One of the best Chinese food I had in Chennai.The ambience is good and peaceful. Service is really great and friendly and must try chilly paneer dry. U can also have the dish with chopsticks.
The best Chinese restaurant in Chennai. Amazing service & food. Good parking space. Ambience is also very good. Over all very good experience.
My recent favorite Chinese restaurant in town.
Such a authentic flavor with good quantity. The menu is elaborate and rightly priced. I heard they have a buffet too.
Burnt garlic fries rice, hong kong garlic soup, cottage cheese kimichi, Dragon chilli are my all time favorite a must try if you visit Flower drum for the first time.
Actually know what they do everything thing so we'll this is just my choice of favorite. Don't have a second thought if you want Chinese cuisine.
This place has everything you are looking for... starting with great ambience...nice place setting...courteous managers and waiters... great choice of food...not too expensive...tasty..sufficient quantity.
One thing I did not try was their desserts.. must try the next time.
Overall the perfect place for vegetarians.
Ordered stuffed fried mushroom and phad Thai flat noodles. Taste and quantity at its best. A must try place if Chinese and Thai cuisine lover.
Oil in the food can be reduced.
I would give this place a 6/5 rating!!
Affordablely yumm and filling!
Such an amazing Asian veg restaurant, it is comparable with the less garlic driven taste buds of mine.
The quantity is HUGEEEE and simple YUM!!
The staff there are so courteous and humble, it makes your experience so pleasent!
Love the total experience, and would recommend for people with venture and huge appetite!!
We had ordered POPIYA (Malaysian spring roll) and expected it to be 6 piece roll, but to our surprise it was a full plate of mini spring rolls. Then we ordered VEG KIMICHI. To be honest we expected pickled cabbage and radishes... but the dish took us by surprise. It was more than delicious and perfectly balanced with the crisp and spicy sauces...
MOMO PLATTER had a choice of mushroom, which was replaced with corn cheese on our request. They are very flexible with everything. The SAUCE was yummm.. we got around 4 sauces and everyone of them was simply yum!
We didn't have appetite for the main course but badly wanted to try their noodle.. we peaked at the table next to ours and found that the quantity was HUGEEEE again.. so we moved in to desert..
They didn't have mango kulfi and fried ice-cream which we wanted to try.. so settled for Kesar and choco chip kulfies.. was yum too.. not too solid or cold.. it was perfect..
Chinese vegetarian is rare and adding to that the food being so tasty is amazing. This place was in my list for a while now and I am happy that I got a chance.
We ordered :
Hunan wonton soup - I generally don't finish my soup but this one was very nice.
Thai crispy corn - crispy and tasty. It's a must try.
Baby corn kimchi - good
Mushroom dumplings - good
Guava malai kulfi - yummy
Lychee with ice cream - good and with lots of lychee pieces.
Food and service both were amazing!! Completely satisfied.
Wanted to try out veg, accidentally went to this place and fell in love with the food!!! Absolute bliss!!! It's must visit place... Very friendly environment... This tops my veg resto list now!!!
One of the best Chinese food I had in recent years.
Must visit this place, very cozy and ambience was too good.
We ordered
Cantonese wonton soup
Thai chili soup
Nice veg kimichi
Pad thai
Flower drum special fried rice
Soft power balls in tangy coconut gravy
Quantity was huge and a single dish can be shared by 3-4 people .
Ambience 5/5
Food 5/5
Price 4/5
Good place for exclusive veggie Pan Asian food. Good service from most staff however there was the odd instance of a member of staff not getting back for water or cutlery. But over all the food was great. Big fan of their manchow and Hunan wonton soup. Starters were good but the Hakka noodles stood out - was done perfectly.
Nice place for vegetarian chinese food. Ordered Hafoon Wanton soup and lemon coriander soup and sizzler. Enjoyed the dishes. Will revisit this place

Very useful for a healthy and wonderful family vegetarian food
The Chinese food here is just awesome, especially the corn cornet. The quantity served is also amazing. The ambiance is fantastic, service is good too. Would strongly recommend to anyone to try once.
One of the best restaurant for Chinese Veg food accross Chennai city. Very minimal pricing with large quantity of food. Great Customer Service.
Amazing place. The only vegetarian Chinese place in town and the best ! To start with superb ambience , statue cannot be missed . The taste is so flavourful and service top notch ! Definitely recommend. Star items I liked Corn cornet , Gobi manchurian , schezwan noodles and ofcourse the momos !

It's very much yummy food...

Felt happy when this arrived from Egmore to Adyar with a bigger place with a similar ambience.
Always known for their each portion serves 4 and we always ensure we are more than 4 (to avoid food waste obviously)
Must haves Corn Coronet, Crispy Chilly Baby corn
Wished they always had Fried icecream available.
Ample parking space and quick service with very little waiting time.
Flower drum fan for years and now closer to home so bigger fan
Great ambience and awesome food. Keep it up..
This is the place where you can enjoy authentic Chinese pure vegetarian food. Really enjoyed a lot.
Thanks for your excellent service.
One of the best vegetarian Chinese restaurant in Chennai.ย Beautiful ambiance and excellent service.ย They also have a private dining area which can seat about 15 people - good for corporate luncheon meetings, getogethers etc.
Awesome tasteful๐คฉ
pure veg family restaurant ๐จโ๐ฉโ๐ง
Totally satisfied with itโค๏ธ
For Chinese food lovers itโs best restaurant ๐
And outdoor cartering tooo
One the best experience we had in Chennai.. Super delicious food, Chinese, Thai, Burmese etc.
Very calm place you can always go here and have the continental and above mentioned food, that too with family. Service is awesome, quantity is very good, price is very realistic.
We loved every single bite of it. Thank you flower drum team, your made our day with the magic of your hands and the expertise you have acquired over the years.
Flower Drum is a pure vegetarian place that serves good Thai, Chinese food.
Our personal favourite here is their velvett style cottage cheese.
Their fried rice range is good too.
You can drop in here if you wish to have good Asian dishes. Their service and ambience is good too.
Burnt garlic fried rice, cauliflower manchurian dry and lime soda are really good. Fried ice cream is kind of average as it's not hot. Very quick service.
Best place to eat Thai food.. added advantage is it's pure veg.. service is also good.. parking is available at backside, even though it's spacious but looks creepy coz of less lights.. it will be nice if they work on ground floor entrance.. it's not is giving positive vibes
One of the best fully vegetarian Asian restaurants in the city. They have a wide menu with plenty of vegan options as well. Their food portions are very generous and can easily be shared by 2 people. The food tastes very authentic and they make it with great care. Most of the items were available and the service was quick. The restaurant has nice seating arrangements for small and large crowds.
They have a parking lot in the building compound.
One of the best pan-asian vegetarian restaurant around Adyar. The quantity is apt for the cost and doesn't seem too expensive. The service is really good and the staffs are friendly. They are ready to explain how the dish tastes, ingredients and speciality, that's really positive. The ambience and lighting is great and is photogenic. Good place to go as large groups, has ample space. Since it is situated on the main road, parking might be a problem during weekends. The restaurant is usually slightly crowded, and they serve on first come basis (no reservations on dine in). Overall a good and positive experience, definitely a must visit.
Although located in a building that looks deserted, Flower Drum's food was excellent!
It isn't very easy to find so many vegetarian dishes and varieties in Chinese and Thai, and their menu gets you really curious to try everything.
I liked the dishes made with tempay, and it was surprising they managed to give it very good flavours as per the dish it was in. The quantity of everything was quite sumptuous!
Loved the iced honey lemon tea so much, will recommend it as a must pair up with your food! Took time with the menu, and tried everything that got me curious!
Couldn't take a lot of pictures, because I was totally immersed in the yummy taste!

Went to this place during a weekend for dinner. The place was pretty crowded and much noisier. Would recommend booking in advance. The seats were also placed very closely, hence the noise was really bothering. Apart from that, the food was excellent and their soups are a must try. The price is also decent. One of the best vegetarian Pan Asian restaurants to try in Chennai
The place was awesome. The staff were very lovely and nice. They were extra nice to baby and took care well.
The baby high chair was proper height with the table and was very comfortable.
The food was very good portion sizes were good for two people to share. They gave steamed veggies and fruits for the baby, which was very good.
Overall a great experience.
The food is good but I don't know why the waiter didn't want us to take the Temphe curry. Was the main chef absent when we went there??
The restaurant by itself was good in the interior but the building was in a bad condition.
Parking in the compound was ample.
Gobi Manchurian and spicy soup is must try, if you are having cold ๐. Itโs very spicy. I loved their fried rice and dumpling. Kids loved the dumpling. Ambience is very good. I see one couple having anniversary celebration in a private space over there. Good romantic date dinner place.
One of our favourite restaurant with good vegetarian recipes. Food is tasty and quality of food is good. Service is also good. Keep up the quality of service!
Few things won't change like the food here in Flower Drum... Go to place for authentic veg food...
An awesome experience at this restaurant. Everything about this place is so good and i loved dining here. Starting from the Ambience, and then infrastructure, the service and even the food. Food is really very delicious and at the same time affordable too. I would recommend this place 100 percent if you really are looking for some good place. Chinese food is the special here.
They even have candle light dinner options and people who are looking for pure vegetarian candle light dinner would love to try this.
Had Thai Fried Mushroom, it was very good.
Hokkien Noodles was also good
Exotic Asian Fried Rice was good, we felt better than noodles.
Momos platter was good,
Fried ice cream is okay to good..
Quantity was better compared to Soy soi, price range is similar. Atmosphere can be better.
MUST TRY : Thai soups and deserts.. You will LOVE IT!!
Can be improved on Momos. The spicy chutney is not the one that should be for momos, also they lack in taste.
Rest all the food was top notch and service was super good.
Went there for dinner. Had Chinese food after a long time and I really enjoyed it here. We had Chilly baby corn and spinach and baby for dumplings for starters. The quantity was enough for 3 ppl. Food tasted great. For the main course we had Hilton noodles. Loved it. The ambience is decent. Table for 2 is good with a view of the flyover. Service is really quick. Will go back for more soon.
