Best place for a cozy dinner. However it's not spacious and have to wait for long time to get your table. Would recommend for sure!

It was a Sunday night and we were not able to decide which place to go to because of the Covid situation and places closing down pretty early. Just happened to see the review of this place and quickly went down to try it out.
It turned out to be just what I needed that day. Nice decent ambience and very welcoming staff. They know their menu well and suggested the best.
The fish was one of the best I have had in Chennai. Perfect lemon butter sauce ever! Panko Chicken was sooo juicy on the inside and yet crispy on the outside. Absolutely loved it! And of course the mushroom soup was pure soul food!
Amazing food and very courteous staff! Do give this place a try!

Amazing continental food :)
The three-cheese-pasta and augratin are top notch 😍
This place serves the perfect blend of cream, cheese and toppings on its dishes.
I would recommend this place for food with taste, quality, quantity and worth the price 👍

The staff helped me place an order for my family in Chennai while I'm in Bangalore. I really liked how Mahi Radha personally called & ensured my order was intact and updated me on the delivery. The delivery was timely, and ofcourse we have always been a fan of the food at Jonah's. They also gave 3 bottles of grape juice complementary. If you're planning a special meal at home with your family, please do order from them. I was very happy with the customer service. I ordered

Located in Bessy very close to beach, Jonah's serves some great food. Checked in on a Sunday noon and ambience was good, the restaurant however is cozy and it's a small place, not recommended for group parties as it would get conjusted!!!!... Service was great and courteous staffs..

Menu was good and everything in the menu was available..Ordered Bbq chicken wings, fish fingers and sizzlers..Taste could have been better, besides that the portioning was good.

We came here for our team lunch. Though we could not get a chance to try out many of the main courses or desserts, I must say the starters were well worth it. Especially beef and fish starters. The only hard part was that we were a group of 10 and we were cramped a bit as they did not have a single table for 10. The ambience and service are of good standards.

Jonah's bistro, already heard a lot about it for good Italian food.

Visited this place and ordered following:

mushroom soup
pan grilled fish fillet
grilled chicken breast
alfredo pasta

Pan grilled fish fillet was best.
Very chewing and tender.

Grilled chicken breast was okay okay.
Alfredo pasta (sphagetti) was good but less vegetables.

Overall, nice taste of all the dishes.

Also, visit this place of u r a foodie.
They have some jumbo offers too 😅

Visited this place for its famous MONSTER BURGER. Woah, it is an adventure in food.

The patty was so juicy and soft. Someone with a good appetite can finish off the entire burger. Modifications were welcomed. Beef patty + Chicken patty + Turkey bacon + Egg + Veggies + Cheese 🤤 and complimentary fries! And... some salad.

Fish and chips were comparatively good. Amazing service. Neat ambience. Thumbs up!

A very good place for dinner! Right from the starters to the desserts everything is so perfect. Soup is of the right flavor and composition but served in a very large quantity. The steak is so rightly prepared with perfection. Waffles taste so good. They also have few books in store - Cosy place for book lovers!

A really elite restaurant where you should be ready to spend a decent load of money for above average food, just for it's location and ambience.
The Monster Burger cost us 700 Rs and 100 Rs for extra cheese, so you get the point.
The cost to quality ratio is way below par but you can definitely be guaranteed good food.

*MUST VISIT ONCE*

Friend and I walked quite a bit and thought we will have a nice dinner here last night. We ordered the Mushroom soup (which was a winner on its own), pan fried fish fillet and ratatouille. None of the dishes had any issue with them. We were so joyous that we didn't share much and finished it all and cleaned the plate. So much so that we didn't have space for dessert. But would like to go there to try out their waffles sometime!

Visited the restaurant for my birthday lunch . My I made no mistake of choosing this place to have my lunch. We began with cream of mushroom soup, garlic bread, potato wedges. Paneer sizzler , smoked chilli rice and summer salad. I absolutely loved the taste and flavor, especially the smoked chilli rice. We finished off with the most recommended Belgian waffles which was out of the world. I'm definitely coming back for more.

Though I ve left chennai I will definitely refer this place to my friends who are still there. Ordered well done tenderloin steak with creamy mashed potatoes and grilled vegetables on side. It was just perfect. We have also ordered for spinach soup, garlic bread and grilled fish as well. Loved it. Cheers.

The most awaited place. The food were tasty. Had a tomato soup, cheese dynamite, paneer sizzler, spicy fried rice.. Everything tasted food but the quantity seems lesser. The items came quick but we expected to be served by the hotel persons but not to be. Other than that, it was good.

Even though, the Bistro is located close to Elliot's Beach, it was calm and not crowded at all.
Fish and Chips was too good. The fish was perfectly cooked, the breading was properly fried. Not soggy at all. The fish was flaky and soft in the inside and crispy on the outside.
Monster Burger was top notch. It was very juicy and a person with a good appetite will be able to finish it. I'd recommend deconstructing the burger and eating one patty separately to enjoy the flavour. However, we had requested the chef to replace one beef patty with chicken patty, which wasn't a clever thing to do. The bacon strips were grilled and not fried.

If you are keen on alternative cuisine, you must visit Jonah’s. I visited the besant nagar outlet. Contemporary ambience greets you. They have bar stool seating also. The staff was polite and courteous. I ordered a bunch of stuff - mushroom soup and paneer satay in starters. For the mains, ordered club sandwich and grilled chicken. Most dishes have choice of sauce so high likely you will find something that suits your taste buds. All items done well and tasted great. Highly recommended. Note that this is also a Zomato gold restaurant. Don’t forget to enjoy the gold privileges.

Was in Besant Nagar and it was lunch time. Headed to this place.

We ordered the beef big boy along beef steak.

Beef big boy was really good and as mentioned with 2 parties of juicy beef. Which I really liked as they used fresh beef mince and tasted authentic and was filling aswell.

Beef steak was ok. It was was just an average beef steak and it was small piece than I accepted. I have had better beef steak. The mash potato’s Was good and veggies were also not seasoned well. The peppery sauce was the only saviour here.

Would like to try other stuffs here for sure in my next visit.

Belgian waffles was half of a circle, very straight. We didn't like . Rest all items were tasty and worth of the price. Peaceful place. But washroom is upstairs . I guess hand wash also upstairs.

I heard a lot about this place from my fellow foodies. Although my buzzkill was right there when I was shown to my booth, the seats were so dirty and I could not just ignore it. Coming to the food, had a lasagna and pasta, both of them were an 8/10 and came with a good quantity , 2 of us could not finish the dishes.

We ordered the chicken club sandwich priced at Rs. 339/- and the chicken big boy burger priced at Rs 449/- . The ambience is calm and soothing, but the food takes a pretty long time to end up on your table. The burger was definitely big enough for one bite. Was juicy and accompanied by fries and a nice salad. The club sandwich was also good but was mild in taste. If yoy like your food on a slightly higher spicy note, the sandwich might not be an option for you.

This was my first visit to Jonah’s Bistro, me and my friend had Alfredo pasta (chicken) which was good but not fully satisfied because few pieces of Penne were a bit undercooked and sauce was just good and it was cheesy ❤️ and we tried Jonah’s special steak(Beef steak) cooked with red wine and I ordered for medium rare I think since it was not slow cooked it was chewy and dry inside so we re ordered and made to Parmagiana which is chicken bread grill fried with sphagetti and I’m really sorry that 😬 it was the best dish which I tried from there and the chicken well was cooked and the batter fried and cheese on it was very good . But still I recommend to visit the place but when you order the steak just ask them to cook perfectly. Pasta was just normal like all other place except it was cheesy (which I liked about) and ambience was quiet good too quite peaceful and the view outside is also good ❗️

Ambience was good, the food was well garnished and also tasted too good. Customer service is also excellent and the food was served as soon the order is placed I haven't waited for a long time. I loved their garnishing and the type of sauce they use in the food that I ordered. I'm in love with the butterfly chicken and they served me with delicious and creamy sauce. Must try spot for all western food lovers. But the prices are bit higher. May not be affordable to all.

I usually frequent the Poes garden branch but this time since we were in Bessy, we decided to hit the Bessy branch. Since we were visiting on a prime time on Sunday night the service was a bit sloppy and not upto the usual standards but was not bad. The staff even apologised at the end citing the crowd as the reason which was so kind of him. Coming to the food, they maintain the standards and taste and I'm surprised by their consistency. They never disappoint you when it comes to food and the taste is the same across the branches. The only reason for the 4 star review is that the winterschintzel was not appealing to our palette.. not sure if it was supposed to be that way, because its the first time we heard and tried it but it was cold and the crust was a bit soggy. A deep fried dish being soggy is not a good sign. So that's y 4 star, and they ran out of the chocolate sauce for the sizzling brownie which was a let down to us. We're such a big fan of their sizzling brownie so the lack of sauce was disappointing. Nevertheless, we went back with happiness and tasty food. So can't really complain.

Great place, food and service. The portion size is not so big but the food is quite filling. So was advised by the staff to order less number of items than what we had decided. And seriously the items we ordered, kept me full the next day too 🤫 Only hitch - the garlic bread needs to be immensely improved or better not serve as it's not at all crisp rest all was good.

The food was middling, the ambience was alright, but they definitely need to replace the high rise chairs which seem very cramped up. Good thing is they keep the place open pretty late. The sausage panini was cramped with so many ingredients that nothing stood out to taste distinctively.
