Great food, prompt service, VFM.
We ordered sweet corn soup, honey chilli cauliflower and cheese spinach roll. All of these were yummy. The cauliflower in particular, was out of the world.
Phulkas were very soft and light.
The coconut mousse was awesome. It is a must try dessert if you visit this place. Totally enjoyed the food and ambience. Will surely visit more often and also recommend it to friends and family.
“Burst of flavors”
Situated in the heart of Gandhi Nagar, a nice and calm yellow makeover welcomes you. The place had minimalistic interiors and well done walls. The menu was exhaustive and the staffs were cordial to answer my queries on their recommendations from the menu.
My pick from the starters were Paneer Tikka, Aloo Lollipop and the must mention Podi Paniyaram. The traditional Paneer Tikka was made just-right and the Aloo Lollipop made no mistake, the Podi Paniyaram was a topper.
Im surely going back for some homestyle food and some refreshing welcome drinks. A one- stop restro for all your veggie food cravings. The range of foods you can try here is endless! All luck.

At Gandhi Nagar, The Great Indian Canteen, boasts of a lovely ambience and great hospitality. We were a bunch of 6 adults and 5 children. Was there as a part of my friends son’s birthday party. The starters were filled with paneer platter and kids relished it asking for more.
My main course included Romali Roti and Malai Kofta. The Romali Roti was hot and soft and the yum Malai Kofta had enough sweetness and was creamy for my kids to cherish it. Next came the Vegetable Biryani and an Indo-Chinese version of paneer. Their Vegetable Biryani was spicy and had loads of veggies and struck the right cord with the paneer and raita. We also ordered a North Indian Thali which was just too big for one tummy. The Dal Makani was lovely and Paneer Butter Masala was creamy, both part of the thali. We had enough space to tuck in desserts and Gulab Jamun made its way straight through our hearts, soft and huge enough, I felt my lunch was complete.
Our first experience with the great Indian Canteen was remarkable. Looking forward to explore more.

Pappad Paneer from The Great Indian Canteen. 😁
.
.
Pappad Paneer is a dish which is formulated and designers by The Great Indian Canteen. It's a panner dish with multiple twists. So it's basically tender paneer slices sandwiched with pickle and cover with pappad and added with extra spices and masala to give the extra touch to the dish. This is one of it's kind dish and I really loved it's taste. This is a must try when you are at the great Indian Canteen. ❤️

A good to go veg place for the veg lovers, they have huge item in their menu which you can enjoy with your family and friends.
I have almost tried most of their signature dishes in their menu from panner tikka to mushroom masala to urundai gravy to palak panner, they do have some ups and down in their food.
Coming to the starters, I had panner platter which is the combination of hariyali panner,zaherani panner, Hyderabadi and panner tikka, panner platter was presented perfectly loved the way they cooked it. Panner was soft n fluffy I personally loved thier marination it was excellent.
Veg bullet been a signature dish it lacks in the taste, it had more flour then the veggies.
Papad panner: it's quite a unique dish, they have rolled the panner with papad crumbs and panner was stuffed with pickles, I felt they have added more pickle to it, which made it little tough to eat.
Main course we had some amazing things like pudinga roti, butter roti and garlic nan, with mushroom gravy and palak panner . Panner tikka was excellent they have mashed panner with the palak which gave some unique taste.
Rice with urundai gravy, gravy was excellent it's was same like how my mom.makes it, you can feel like Ur been home. It's typical home food.
Desserts : we had a gulkand vanilla icecream and rasamalai, gulkand vanilla was such a bliss it's was so luscious. Rasamalai had a perfect texture but I felt they should had little more saccharine even the milk was little diluted
Overall I can rate them 3.5/5.
We went for dinner to this place! Excellent ambience, great food to eat with quick service. The waiters were really helpful and did a great service.
Must visit for veggies 😊

Great Indian Canteen 🤩 is a good to go vegetarian multi cuisine restaurant which is worth traveling to Gandhinagar, Adayar from any part of the city. The ambience is pleasing with good air conditioning and quiet decent amount of space to accommodate multiple group of people without any chaos😌😌
Now, it's time to settle in our table and take a look at the menu. They got a wide range of menu with South Indian, North Indian and Chinese varieties. The servers are skilled enough to explain us about all the dishes from their menu and we went with their choice of selection for most of the dishes. From Starters to dessert all the categories are having their signature dishes which are really the best in such categories. Dishes we ordered are
Veg Bullet
Cheese and Spinach Roll
Paneer Pappad
Veg Bullet
Podi Idly
Podi paniyaram
Paneer platter
Lassoni Methi Chamman (Palak Gravy)
Paruppu urundai kozhambu
Mushroom Masala
Steamed Basmati Rice
Pudhina Stuffed Paratha
Garlic Naan
Gulkand ice cream
Rasamalai
Coconut mousse
Gulab Jamun
Veg Bullet, 🤪 the name is quiet funny and this starter tasted yum with the mint chutney. Cheese and Spinach roll is not the best I would say where as the Paneer Pappad😋😋 is a must try starter of GIC. It has a pickle touch in it which tempts us to have more and more and more. Being a paneer addict I go crazy🤪 in choosing the paneer starter so most of the time I'll prefer paneer platter and so did I. For most of the people Paneer is the deciding factor of the quality of vegetarian restaurant😝 and yes, GIC is doing a good job in paneer dishes. All the varieties in the paneer platter are quiet to decent in taste, texture and consistency.
Podi Idly and Podi Panniyaram are my favorite of GIC. Both these dishes are worth ordering twice but yet if theri is battle of Podi Idly vs Podi Panniyaram, my 😁 support goes to Podi panniyaram.
Here we go for the main course, getting the suggestions from the management we ordered few Indian breads such as Pudhina stuffed Paratha, Garlic Naan and butter Naan as well. Also, we ordered a bowl of Steamed Basmati rice. To accompany both the rice and Breads we went for 3 gravies pout of which the Mushroom masala stands out.
Though we are full, one cannot finish the dinner without 😁😁 dessert. Gulkand ice cream is their signature dessert and also the coconut mousse is their must try dessert (as recommended by the management) but the coconut mousse taste varied from cup to cup in coconut flavor yet it's worth a try. Then comes my all time favorite Gulab Jamun🤩 which was served hot with 4 pieces in a bowl - Awesome it is. Finally we had Rasamalai which served our tastebuds and satisfied our craving for rasamalai.
My overall rating goes as follows,
Ambience - 3.5/5
Service - 5/5
Taste - 4/5
VFM - YES

The Great Indian Canteen is a full fledged vegetarian multi cuisine restaurant which has sprung up in a by lane at Gandhi Nagar in Adyar. It's a pretty large outlet with the space being divided rather well. The ambiance is perky and gives a good vibrant feel.
The spread largely consists of North Indian, South Indian and Chinese. The menu runs into a number of pages and there are options galore. We mostly had majority of starters most of which were pretty good and a few could be spruced up a wee bit. First up the panneer pakodas were very well made deep fried and containing lovely chunks of cottage cheese inset. The chilli cheese aloo tikki was also quite good but the spice content could be looked at a little. The veg bullet was more like a chinese appetiser and their signature fare. The panneer tikka I felt could have been a tad better. It didn't give that top notch taste and should have been softer and creamier. The cheese and spinach roll, the bread crumbs were too thick and big not really ideally placed to hold the stuffing. No complaints on the podi idli which was done up deliciously with the right ingredients and spices. Their papad panneer was also a winner with breaded rolls comprising pieces of panneer slathered over with lemon pickle which tasted different and good.
We were mostly full with just the starters but got down to have a little of the main course as well. All the Indian bread varieties served were well dished out and for the gravies, the palak panneer as well as the mushroom one went along very well. We also had a nice spicy south indian curry.
In the drinks and dessert section, we had a lilting rose sharbath, the essence which is actually imported from Rajasthan. I thoroughly enjoyed gulping it up. To round off, we were served a wonderful icy gulkhand ice cream which was full of flavour and also a coconut mousse which was fairly good.
The rates are on par with usual fine dining pricing and the service was amiable and always willing to help us with respect to our orders and providing suggestions of what all to try. On the whole, it was a lovely experience. Great Indian Canteen is a comfortable place in a cozy location serving some variety vegetarian fare which is certainly worth trying.
A pleasant place with subtle, antique ambience and delicious food! Please do try their Veg biriyani! It's a feast to the taste buds 💖 One of the few places that'll make you come back for a second visit :)
I would recommend this place for people who are on a budget and want good food, This place is ideal for get-togethers as it is a multi cuisine restaurant with large number of dishes to choose from.
The food is fresh and well cooked.
Would highly recommend Dal makhani and Kulchas as they are extremely delicious.
Overall I had a great time at this place and look foward to visit again soon.
Rates are very reasonable.
The mood of the restaurant was very calm and peaceful.
Food was very good and tasty.
Kulcha with its sabjis are on point.
One good place for a vegan in budget.👌
I visited great Indian canteen for the third time. Had
Corn chatpata
Tandoori roti
Vegetable jalfraizi
Dal tadka
Rice
The starter(corn chatpata) was nice and the ambience was great and not much crowded and was nice. The service is fast and quick
Excellent place for quality vegetarian food. Truly authentic North Indian fare and better quality as compared to the other South Indian outlets that serve pseudo North Indian food. Very prompt service.
This place has a great ambiance, they serve good quality food. The spread is mainly of an Indian cuisine. They have an equal variety of south and North Indian starters and few oriental flavours. However the main course doesn't not include varieties of dosa, idli etc.,
iIt's a great place to be with your family.
Their podi paniyaram is delicious.
A very good vegetarian restaurant in Adyar, where you can get good north Indian food. We ordered Panneer butter masala and roti. The quality of food is really good. The quantity seems little smaller than the standard portions you get in Chennai. The gravy is very rich and tasty. Slightly pricier.. But OK once in a while...
Great food......on time delivery
gic... my buddy suggested this restaurant for our day out.... so went here for lunch today.... ordered tandoori platter, north Indian thali and oriental combo....
the taste was good.... we were totally convinced and happy with their hospitality... the enquiry from the manager between your food is so nice , which often never happens in many restaurants...

I loved the curd rice here!!! Wow!
North Indian and south Indian thali was also good. Neat & tidy place with nice ambience. Good service as well.
Tries chilly cheese toast and Veg Grilled sandwich along with cold coffee.
I would recommend all of these.
chilly Cheese toast is not for the ones who dislike spicy food.
veg grilled sandwich was classic.
Ambiance : 4/5
Taste : 4.5/5
Value for money : 3.5/5
The ambience was very good with pleasant lighting and soulful BGMs.
What stood out is the service!!! The staff treated us very well and we felt we were home!! Special thanks for that!!
Coming to food, hot and sour soup was spicy as it should be. Podi Paniyaram - just felt the homeliness in this dish. Stuffed kulcha and malai kofta curry were too good; curry very smooth and creamy. Finally finished with paan sherbath - such a refreshing drink on a sunny afternoon.
Excellent choices in the Menu. Good value for money, because of their portions. great service, the manager ensures that you are attended to quickly. Interesting decor ! Enjoyable experience
A great ambience...
Food quality is not bad..
My concern is the cost! I feel it’s overpriced for the quantity and basically only for vegetarian crowd!
Visited this place last evening for a dinner. Being a Friday evening this place was quite empty and we three got seats immediately. Ambience of this place is fine and staff were very courteous.
We ordered veg noodle soup. It was like hot water with some vegetables and noodles. It had no taste. Starter was panneer tilkka which was good. Nothing different to this but it was on power with the best. Main course was butter roti and mushroom masala. Mushroom masala was really good. It is a definite try when you visit this place. Over all apart from the soup we enjoyed rest of the dishes.
Nice ambiance, service was excellent, staff are very humble.
Food taste was good. Portion size enough for 2-3 people.
The staff constantly check on the taste of food and make any alterations if necessary
Very quirky ambience, great knick knacks. It's a fairly large restaurant with a huge variety of Indian food with some peculiar and interesting things we wanted to try, we were given a papad with chutney amuse bouche, we had a chilly cheese also tikki starter, an assortment of tandoori rotis, a jalfrezi and tikka masala and found all of it to be nice, the tikka masala is not as spicy as the menu claims though. The service is good, good quantity and value for money. Great for a family night out or so.
We had lunch at this restaurant. We started with soups and had a variety of starters. Our large group of 14 members tried out thali and rotis. The side dishes and gravies were really good.This place has a excellent ambience. Service was also quick. Good place to have good vegetarian meal with family and colleagues.
Hd been there for lunch with a big family gang... different age groups... . V hd a private dining area reserved for us. The ambience ws good.... Food very homely & everyone enjoyed it. Good place to take elderly Ppl. Overall very satisfying.
Very good ambience. Awesome desserts. Good services. Interesting interiors. Not so expensive. Worth trying food lovers. Adyar people. North Indian food. Had fun
Yet another best restaurant in Adyar. Beautiful interiors with ample parking lot. About food, it's totally worth it. The quality and quantity pay justice to your money. Excellent hospitality delivered by servers.
Was looking out for a restaurant in Adyar area to meet up with a friend and found this on Zomato :) Overall a good restaurant where the items are also decently priced !! Ambiance is good ..Service is excellent and food was tasty :) We decided to try Manchow soup and ordered spring roll and Aloo tikki for starters. All were good. Also tikki was just yum 👌 For main course we had Veg biriyani. It was decent but definitely can be made more spicy and flavourful. We had Paneer mutter for gravy and it was good too. Would love to visit this restaurant again . Overall would recommend this place for someone who is looking for decent vegetarian restaurant in Adyar area :)
Order urulai roast and paruppu urundai kuzhambu if you're here. It's amazing. Ambience and service were great too. North Indian items were tasty and filling quantities
I would recommend this place to my vegetarian friends👍 Even though it doesn't have an inviting ambience still food is great!! I stepped out with stomach full of Good food and mouth full of Gulkand Ice-cream flavours 🍮🍧❤️
Very nice ambience, canteen like 😀. Really good service, nothing stood out in the menu. Bit of Chinese, mostly North Indian and bit of South Indian. We ordered kulcha, methi paneer which was nice. The sprout salad was pretty good as well. Would have given a higher rating if there was something unique in the menu
For me great food is an equivalent to some comfy soul food. And if that’s what you’re looking for, then Great Indian Canteen is the right place for you too. . Great Indian Canteen is located in Gandhi Nagar, Adyar. Google Maps should take you right to it. They have ample car park. The ambiance is kept simple with comfortable seating. Lately, that matters a lot to me. All those fancy furniture, but what’s the point if it isn’t comfortable?

Great great value for money. No second thoughts about it!
Its a nice family restaurant, which has savage level of waiting queues on a weekend for lunch/dinner (so make sure you book a table well in advance!). The interiors are nothing to write home about, but hey- they focus on the grub & they do it well!
The food is all vegetarian, and being a veggie, am ecstatic about it! :D I don't quite remember what all had we ordered (this bring a late review!), however I do remember that their honey chilly potato start was fantabulous & we had ordered a second round of the same thing cos it was so good! :)
I'll surely be visiting again!

The thing I like the least about the Great Indian Canteen is its name. When we first saw the place, we figured it was a low end snack vendor. It was only when a friend told us it wasn't anything of the sort that we decided to try it out.
They're best categorized as an upper-middle-range restaurant. They're not fancy, but they're absolutely not down at the heel either. Everything about them fits this- the decor is pleasant without being luxurious, the food is good without being unbelievable, and the pricing is somewhat expensive, but well short of exorbitant.
The only thing that really stands out a mile is the service, which was excellent. Miles better than almost any place in town. This is a great example of a place where the service elevates everything else, and everyone should really pay attention.
This would have been a higher rating, but one dish we ordered- some species of corn kebab was too spicy- the spice overpowered any other flavor. Also, the menu has prices inclusive of GST, which was 18% when the menu was printed. Now that GST is 5%, the menu's need to re-printed, surely.
Quibbles aside, this place is well worth a visit
The ambience and service were nice and quick. The food was delicious. Will definitely visit again..
I will recommend this place to anybody who is looking for a quick veg bite.
Nice ambiance, good service. Starters (cheese chilli aloo tikki, papad paneer, masala papad) didn’t impress. Main course (kashmiri kofta, bhindi do piaza, lasooni methi chamman) with naans and kulchas were pretty good though. Good value for money as an overall dining experience in this side of town.

Great Indian Canteen. Located at Gandhi Nagar Adyar.
Two streets before all famous Hamsa and Arama Cafe.
Place is spacious, with good seating capacity.
Interiors were interesting. Old metal tiffin boxes, utensils, cookware was used in a creative way.
Service was bang on. The waiter help us with ordering, suggested good stuff. Manager also kept us company to see if service was good.
What we ordered:
Soups:
Tomato Dhana Shorba: The soup was thick, tasty. The flavour of dhana (coriander) was a bit higher. Otherwise it tasted nice.
Manchow Soup: It was really tasty in a different way. The flavour of soup with fried noodles really made this one of the best soups I ever had.
Starters:
Veg Bullets: Long crispy fried vegetables with sauce. General thing. Sauce was sweet and weird. Ok-ish.
Veg Seekh Kebab: Veggies mashed and cooked with flour accompanied by a different sauce, better one. Tasted good, but one of the spices wasn't mashed properly and left a crunch on the tooth.
Masala Papad: You don't need a review for this. Go for it!
Main Course:
Paneer Butter Masala: Gravy was delicious with soft paneer. Wasn't heavily sweet like some restos make 'em. Tasted perfect.
Vegetable Jalfarazi: This one had an aroma one cannot resist. Isn't good all about armoa first? Yes it is. The flavour of this was new to me. But I completely loved it.
Plain Roti/Naan: Good. Cooked properly.
Rumalk Roti: Undercooked at first, Replaced immediately by waiter on asking without any persuasion or request. Service was great.
Rice:
Vegetable Biryani: First of all, huge quantity. We weren't expecting such huge bowl of rice. Tasted right, had perfect flavour but wasn't much spicy.
Complimentary Papads were given..
Overall a great experience. They even serve thali during afternoon. I'd visit again for sure.
Food: 4/5

Visited for sunday lunch & it was a satisfying experience.
Ordered Manchow Soup & Tomato Shorba, expected Manchow to be more spicy but it was other way. Then it was Baby corn chatpata for starters. For Main it was Malabar Parota, stuffed kulcha, sechzwan baby corn fry, Methi Panner, Veg Pulao & Shanghai fried rice.Roasted papad with green chutney was complimentary.
Everything were tasting good, the breads were served piping hot & rice portions were good enough.
Good to find a all veg resto. But it being a sunday, it was half empty. May be people do not know about this place.
Decor was simple & good. Service no issues, & car parking, they hv limited parking space & it being a not so busy road, no issues, as they hv valet service. Should try their thalis some other day.
I'm one of the many people who visited Great Indian Canteen after seeing their hoardings all over OMR and my first visit is worth mentioning.
We went for a quick lunch and just had the time to try two items on their menu.
1) The North Indian Thali
The Dry Jamun was so hot and tasty. The Roti was served with a good portion of Panner Butter Masala. The Jeera Rice was well cooked and served with dal and sabji. The sweet corn soup at the start was good as well.
2) Dragon Paneer Fried Rice
A mix of Rice and Noodles with a nice sprinkling of fried paneer and sauce. Tasted really good.
The bill was around ₹450 and their menu's prices are inclusive of taxes.
Service could be a little faster as we ordered 2 items and had to wait 25 minutes for it though only 3 tables were taken at that time.
Hopefully I can try out their other dishes next time.

I came to know about this place through their advertisement near Perungudi toll. Checked Zomato, their menu look attractive so went for it. This place is easy to locate. Near Kovai palamudhir shop. Parking is available in front of the restaurant. Nice entrance which increased my expectation.
Ambiance is good. Traditional vessels were used as part of ambiance. Nice music were played in background. Good number of tables and chairs were there to accommodate decent number of people. Walk in will do. No reservation as such may be necessary. Service is attentive and good. All food came in reasonable time. It is a pure vegetarian restaurant.
During my first visit had Podi Idly, veg croquettes, veg Biriyani, steam rice 🍚, Paruppu urundai kolambu and Fried Ice Cream. Veg croquettes and podi idly are good. Biriyani lack masala and spiciness but raitha accompanied with biriyani is excellent. Paruppu urundai kolambu is not that great. Fried Ice Cream is decent.
During my second visit had Veg bullet, podi Paniyaram, garlic naan, pudhina paratha, rumali roti, Methi mutter masala and Coconut mousse. Podi Paniyaram Which is one of their unique signature dish is good. Bullet is okay. Naan and paratha are thick which affecting taste to some extent. Rumali roti is undercooked. Gravy was excellent. Coconut mousse is good. I would rather term it has coconut jelly. Overall mixed experience.
Price is reasonable considering its location and quantity. Here and there slight touch up required in main course to make it attractive. Nevertheless can give a try.

We friends were craving to have buttery buttery naan with some panner butter masala, at around 10 15 at night! 😂
So we guys planned to jump into this place! ☺️
Wow! ❤️☺️ Great amabience! More of antique! 😊
More seats.! It looked more like a home turned restaurant! 😁
Staffs were friendly! 😄
We just ordered French fries, and the much wanted butter naan with panner butter masala! 🍱
And fried ice cream! 🍨🍧👍🏻
Yu won't believe, I generally don't prefer to eat panner, but I still like panner butter masala! 😝 This time I loved the way panner was cooked, and I planned to have 3 cubes of panner!! 😃❤️ softy, tasty, yummmmyyy! 😍
French fries - exact proportion of crisp and softness. Not over roasted! 😄
Definitely a must visit place for the vegans! ☺️ not for youngsters thou! I would recommend this place for the orthodox maamas and maamis! 😝
But we visited this place just out of curiosity! 😂

A worthy option for vegetarians. Suitable for both a
family meal or a dinner with friends. A simple ambience without much of frills. Most of the items we tasted we're good.
Needs to have more variety in main course (has just noodles, rice and breads).
The Dates Payasam is a must have ! 😇
P.S. : They have Goli Soda too. Try having it and let me know how it is.
Delicious food with perfect ambience. Great service at reasonable price. Items to try are bindhi mur mur and aloo lollipop and GIC special paan sharbhat
We went there by 4 so there wasn't lunch served. So we ordered sandwiches and bhajji and shake which was pretty ok.
Total bill was 400 or something. What I really liked was the ambience and the people working were very polite. The food was above average good quantity and overall for evening snacks it was good. we'll try lunch as well in future.
The place was decent with good food but the service and the staff could be much better. Overall a good experience which can be made great with some small care.

Visited GIC Adyar. Cool place. Nice Ambience. Great starters especially Aloo lollipop. For a minute you will mistake it for a chicken lollipop, nicely stuffed in a soup stick, tastes exquisite. Vazhappu vada was awesome... Served crispy and hot. Best part was all food was medium spicy and enjoyable. Manchow soup was great and is should say much better than Chinese restaurant soup. Nicely topped with fried noodles. Deserts .. Golkand Ice cream tasted good. Service was good. Wi-Fi available. Courteous staff. MUST VISIT

Saw so many hoardings in the SRP junction. Was pretty excited to visit this place. I went there for a friday dinner.
Ambience - the restaurant was well lit and had well cushioned seatings.
Food - for soup , we had vegetable clear soup which was pretty good. It had whole lot of vegetables and it was healthy.
Starters- we had Hyderabadi panned tikka. It was very delicious.
Main course - we had a variety of breads with panner gravy. The gravy was soo good.
Along with this we had masala butter milk, it was tasting really good.
Dessert - gulab jamun, it was the best. I really enjoyed every bite of it. And top it all, we had cardamon milk which was also yum.
Overall it was great experience. The portion size was good and also the pricing was on the cheaper side. It was a total win win. 💕

Being close to my home, it never occurred that I should try and review. But thanks to my inability to go far today, I landed at this place finally !!
I had no issues with ambience but it wasn't one of the best!!
For those arriving from far don't worry about parking as there is a valet parking.
On a Sunday peak hour I didn't wait for more than 8 mins.
Food was the best I've tasted anywhere in a while. So much so that I wanted to personally thank the chef. I don't review restaurants for regular stuff as there are way too many who do that. When I go to a place I find out what's their speciality and then review the same.
The noodles soup gave the kids a big smile and the dragon paneer with cashew nuts was delightful to move on while honey chilli potato was spicy. The soft phulka with Aloo methi gravy and basic basmati rice was perfect.
Kids loved the brownie and the dates payasam was perfect.
Service : I haven't seen very courteous people in restaurants right from parking drivers till the manager who took honest feedback with big smile.
Overall a very pleasant evening and one that didn't bite my wallet much !!
Had lunch with my colleagues.. we started with chilly panner and lal mirch panner tikka... both tasted yummy ... then the main menu...we ordered roti, malabar parotta and Mushroom masala.. well prepared food and tasted great... perfect ambience and comfy seats ... definitely must visit place for veggies..

Tried this restaurant yesterday night for a quick Dinner.Ordered Tomato Dhaniya Shorba(Rs. 99), Masala Papad(Rs. 49), Aloo and Veg Stuffed Paratha(Rs. 79 each), Butter Naan and a Chettinad Veg Curry(Rs. 239).Many dishes that are available are the regular ones with some GIC specials.The shorba tasted good (more like a rasam), the Papad was crisp and the veggies were chopped well, The Parathas and Naan tasted good (as expected), the Chettinad Veg Curry tasted like what I wanted but could've been spicier.The restaurant was quite spacious with some vessels hanging on the walls to give it an INDIAN look(quite catchy).The service was very good right from guiding to the table, to serving the items.The main reason that denied me giving a 5-star rating was the quantity of the Curry being less (may be for its pricing).
Food-5/5 (Haven't tried many dishes out but rating it for what I tried.)Service - 4.5/5Neatness & Hygiene - 5/5That's all I could tell from my first visit.Will try the other dishes when I visit next time.The FINGER BOWL was too dam hot.!!!!!!!!Message to GIC: Please update the menu on the Zomato website/app.
The food was really good. We had tamatar dhaniya shorba, masala papad, butter naan, mutter paneer masala. The service was great. And I would applaud the restaurant for cleanliness. A must try place if you are in Adyar.

Location and place: Google maps locates this place perfectly. An old typical house in Gandhi Nagar modified to a restaurant. Interior was decent.
Quality: Quite good.
Cutlery used were also neat.
Taste & Service: Went as a group of 7 for lunch and we ordered - Sweet corn and Tamatar Dhania shorba soups which were quite good. GIC Tandoori platter, Cheese aloo chilli tikki and Honey Chilli Cauliflower for starters. Out of these, first two were fine. Last one didn't have any sort of chilli and was quite sweet'ish. Main course - Rotis, Malabar Parotta, curries and Veg Biriyani. All were good but quantity of the side dishes could've been a little more for the price except for the sumptuous Veg Biriyani whose quantity alone was more. Dessert - Vanilla milkshake, Gulkhand icecream, Carrot halwa which all tasted good. People in the restaurant were polite. Manager visited our table twice and was all ears for our feedback.
Con: Time taken to deliver food was too much given the fact that apart from the 7 of us only two other tables each having 2 and 3 respectively were present at that time in the restaurant which can be improved.
An excellent restaurant to hang out with family. Especially Pan Sharbath & Gulkhand Ice cream should not be missed out. The service is very good.
nice ambience. ample car parking. delicious food. i hope the resturant need more cuisines and need some advertisement. price are lesser compare to other Indian veg restaurant.
We had been there on last Sunday night for dinner . Had fantastic dinner & the food was very tasty and good. i impressed on the restaurant external and internal ambiance. Would like to visit again. :)
Based on feedback from Facebook groups - we had Visited this outlet. No disappointments. Works out to be pocket friendly classic food joint. But they were not having credit swipes. They said its temp. But do have some cash on hand.
