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
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.
Bahubali Thali @ Ponnusamy Hotel of Chennai – South India’s biggest Thali meals
with 44-inch size steel serving plate containing, 50 non-vegetarian and vegetarian dishes, which include 1 Soup, 3 Biryani, Fried rice, Noodles, different types of rice main dishes, chicken, mutton, sura puttu, Prawns, Omlette, Parotta, …with authentic South Indian style food. Cost Rs2600/- 4 person will share it sufficiently. A must try at least once where one can taste 50 plus dishes in a si gle time. Week ends are normally crowded. Ambience, Hygiene, care for customer are fabulous. Nicely cut Banana leaf in banana leaf model steel plate for all. This hotel started in 1954 as a small mess in Chennai. The Ponnusamy hotel prepared Chettinad dishes where food was prepared under his strict supervision who himself is an excellent cook. All the recipes, including the ones that are used till date are known to be his inventions. In no time the name and taste spread like a wildfire all over Chennai.
Went to try their bahubali meals. Cost about INR 2600 for per thali set.
About 3-4 pe6can share the thali.
In my opinion , the thali set is not worth the price. The non-veg item are too little and frankly does not worth the price.
Better order separately and eat what you want

Went for Sunday lunch luckily reached around 12:15 so restaurant was decently occupied we left around 12:45 and it was almost getting full . We tried egg biryani, veg biryani and mutton sukka . Good food way of serving was good . Portion size was good for price . Staff was always available to help . Ambience is like a very regular restaurant but on walls they have some old days utensil to show like coconut scrapper , brass steamer etc.. nice place for some good Tamil style food.
Ponnusamy Hotel serves tasty Non vegetarian Meals with highlight of keera kootu and chicken curry. Then their vanjaram fry, brain fry and nattu kozhi kozhambu worth to be tasted. Their play area needs maintenance. Their customer service was excellent. Overall the visit was nice.
The bahubali Thali was amazing. Top notch. The service was excellent headed by Mr. Gulzar. The ambiance however looks like it needs renovating.
We have ordered veg meals, chilli Gobi and mushroom. Meals is ok, chilli Gobi and mushroom is good but they have taken almost one hour to provide the food which is really frustrating.. they have not given meals also on time.
Recently went this restaurant with my family, ordered mutton Biriyani only two pieces in a Biriyani but taste of the food is ok. Hotel ambiance is ok. Available car parking and play area for kids.

One of the places in Chennai, where they offer you the Bigggg Thali!!!💥
Known as “Bahubali Thali”💯
There is also a Biryani Thali available, but still went for Bahubali.
I visited this place for the 2nd time in a span of 3 years.
So, if you are going to have any of the 2 Thali, do call them the day before you visit this place.
Reservation is must for Thali!!!📞
And, they will allow only 4 per Thali (that is less than or equal to 4)
But, I reserved for Thali in the morning of my visit, as we were not sure of the plan till morning.
So, they will allow you till morning for reservation.
Usually more crowded during weekends.
Restaurant Experience:
The Restaurant is located on the 1st floor, above the Eatza Pizza.
Ample space for Parking.🚘🚘
They have an elevator.🛗♿
Good Ambience, which will give you a feel of Chettinad, because of the picture they have imprinted on their walls.🖼️
Restroom is better, but still the tap is not fixed.🚻
Preferred not to sit in the Sofas while having Thali because it was not comfortable for me.
There are also chairs available. I prefer sitting in the chair.💺
They too have the kids area near their reception, which is sometimes converted to Party hall.🎉🎊
Food Experience:
They are offering more than 50 items in a huge plate.
Must wait for 10-15 mins for the food to arrive.💤

I might have missed some…
More items but less quantity…
Only 4 average eating people can finish the Thali.
3 Good Eaters can also finish the entire Thali.
1 person eating a separate Thali is not preferable.
They are charging Rs.2100 for this Thali.🤑🤑🤑🤑
Last time when I visited this place in 2018-19, the charges were Rs.1700.
Now, they have increased the rate as well as their menu.
All food items tasted good.
Even, when you are not able to finish the entire food, do get a parcel…
They will give you only a single packet, in which you can parcel any leftovers.
