Such a lovely pleasant place ❤️ the servers are really friendly ❤️ candle light dinner is the best 💃❤️would love to go again soon 😊
I went there for dinner yesterday after my convocation. It was really good. Gave a good vibe. The beach atmosphere and under the skies... it was pleasant. Crispy chilly lamb tasted really good. The chilly fish tasted good as well. I loved the tandoori chicken, fish fingers. The chicken pizza was okay. Egg fried rice was good. Mutton biriyani, the mutton was so hard and the rice was cheap. Virgin pina colada tasted bad. They customised my mocktail as well. It was amazing, it was peach + fresh creme + simple syrup.
We had a good time but the price was a bit high. And they were treating as good but at the same time the waiter had a little attitude.
If you are a beach lover, then this place is a must try. They have a seating in the open with a beach view. The ambiance was really good. Food was decent. Nice place to hang out with friends on a weekend.
The food delivery was a little slow. But overall experience was great for me and my friends.
Ambience is very good, beach view. Indoor seating also available, hut n inside the restaurant as well. Calm n nice place to spend an evening by beachside.
Food was not so good, not bad either. But expensive compared to the quantity they serve for each portion.
Staff are courteous.
We tried some Nachos, Roti, Mix Veg and Brownie.
Amazing place to hangout with your friends..
Affordable price and amazing ambience...
Best part you can go to the beach once you are done ..
Amazing food with a beautiful view and wine does the rest . The sunshine cafe is a perfect place to spend your holiday or a day out . #pasta is a must try.
Its a very good place near the beach. I thoroughly enjoyed the food and the food was made to perfection and ofvourse there is a special mention to the cool ambience and great staff.
I loved this place as it is near to the beach and has a great ambience and the food was pretty good and service is nice and the waiters are very polite and you don’t have to wait much for your food the overall experience of this place was great.🔥
I must say the location and the ambience of the place itself had me sold on it. Everything else just fades in front of it. The food was not extraordinary but was okay. Could be better. The cocktails also had very little punch. For the price, they could serve better food and drinks I feel. Service was good. But I would go back there for that view any day !
Awesome location, had a good time watching the moon rise from the sea... Food was nice. They play good songs and I liked the minimalistic setup. Nice place to catch up with friends. Definitely not the candle light romantic dinner type of place but the relaxed eat out and enjoy kind of a place. Cocktails were nice
This place was awesome and I felt breezy !! Must go for nice talks and u will feel like home there !!! I once went after cycling for drink !!
What an ambiance.Roof top, indoor,outdoor,beach view,hut.You name it.They got it.This place is a beach house turned into a restauraunt.If you love food in beach this place is a must try.Their menu doesn't stand out.Not that expensive.But the food was good.Went there for lunch.We had mocktails which was okayish.For soup we tried murugh dhaniya shorba could have been better.The stand out dish was cilantro chilli grilled cottage cheese steak if you are a vegetarian try not to miss this one.And their Alferedo was very saucy just the way I like it.For desserts we had blueberry cheese cake.Tasted good.Overall a good dining experience.💚💚
A Serene beach-y ambience. Fell in love with the place as the time crawls post evening. Outdoor seating is windy and peaceful. Food on the other hand is complementing as well.
We got a masala omelette, peri peri chicken strips, gobi manjurian, paneer tikka and a burnt garlic fried rice. All were very very good. Properly cooked and spiced to perfection. The cocktail although din have a hint of alcohol. It was pretty much like juice.
Peaceful place, with good ambiance. No jarring music, good getaway for a weekend. You can hear the sound of the waves, staffs are friendly and polite. They have indoor seating which i didn't opt for. Outside seating is lovely with shacks. Love this place. Food tastes delicious and pocket friendly.
Chennai needed a real beach cafe! Sunshine cafe offers breathtaking sea views.
Food and drinks were good and priced reasonably.
Manager Navin was very friendly and helpful.
5 STAR ambience. Outdoor seating, indoor seating, beach view seating and also a separate bar. We didn't try much food out there. But will definately visit again and try more dishes. We ordered a prawn starter which is not so great by the way.
I actually could not find something to criticise. Food was good. Was served quick and with a lot of courtesy. The servers were friendly and were open to recommend their ware. We were there in the night and they offered the sea view place spot. Good spot to sit down for a drink in the evening/night. I would recommend the place.
This place situated in akkarai near the beach has some excellent outdoor dining seats😍😍😍 but indoor seatings were just ok🤔the starters we tried were too good....and good presentation 😋 pizzas were also so good😋🤤
They also serve drinks....but nothing special....but if u want to have a unique dining experiance at akkarai then this place is worth a try🖐️👌
Oh and desserts my pick will be the brownie with icecream 🖐️ and seafoods in the menu is quite costly....🤔

Food: 7.5/10

Overall: 8/10
The beautiful beach view and the smell of the beach Air is one of the first reasons I love this place .
There is a open hut cafe outside , and you can dine inside as well . Both ways , the view is lit .
The partitioned hall deliberately designed for the noisy gang is mention-worthy .
The menu is quite huge and heavy and the variety will have you confused over your order .
The bar menu is quite fascinating too and the cocktail varieties are nice . The food was pretty decent .
Favourites from the menu - paneer tikka pizza , chicken lollipop , stuffed mushrooms .
This place is simply awesome..This place is close to beach and a weekend evening is perfect for this. Go for the sea food here along with some delicious deserts.
This is one beautiful and romantic place in the city. Located a bit away from the ECR main road and keeping it a bit private is this place. The minute I walked this place I fell for it. It was so beautiful and just near the beach. What else do you want.
I was totally amazed with the place.
If you are planning for a candle night dinner/romantic date then I am sure you must visit this place.
Talking about the food, the food tasted good and drinks were also good. They have a bar as well. Yes, they do serve alcohol.
Overall I loved visiting this place.
Happy eating ! 💜
Its pleasant and beautiful place, it actually comes to life at night time.. the lighting, music and food brings the best dinner experience of all time. Best place to share our love and have fun with friends on weekends. Foods are delicious and really cheap , best value for money.
This place is ideal for romantic candel light dinner in the beach and also team lunches.
The tandoori chicken, Nachos,five spice chicken and other starters are impressive and must try.
Loved the food. Only concern was that it took a long time for the ppl to bring food. They had good variety of alcohol and food was actually great. Would appreciate if there was an increase in quantity. They have a new menu of food. So go try it for sure. The view and setting is mind blowing. This is my go to place in ecr.

Perfect cafe for romantic dinner. They have live band every single day but their plus point is the sea view. It feels so refreshing and serene. I was enjoying the cool breeze with cranberry cooler. I will surely visit again.

Truly a sea food Paradise... not a place to eat the monotonous Chicken Recipe... The Ambience and the view is breathtaking... Worth going after Dusk... A place for Night life lovers..
This is an amazing cafe. I am visiting chennai and while hunting for a beach side place (a little of Goa in mind :D ); After an extensive research I found this place. It’s located in a quite place (something I prefer) dot on the beach. You don’t need anything apart from this wonderful view to enjoy this place! I went and strolled on the beach a little then came back to spend my evening in this cafe...Add on is the wonderful food they offer. Menu is small yet covers all the required dishes. I had an ice tea, broccoli soup and pasta arabiata. All three were good. Staff is really courteous. I had a great evening at this place, enjoying my food, reading while listening to waves. I am heading back soon and this place will remain on a high point in my mind. Enjoy people!!!
Good beachside Cafe
A new place with the deck near the beach still under construction one can dine in their chalets or the main building. Food is good and quick and friendly service. The choice of brands on IMFL and Imported on the bar menu needs a complete relook. Good for a dinner by the beach.
A newly opened cafe, with absolutely stunning sea view...
Currently they only offer domestic spirits, they also offer Biryani, Tandoori items (which is off the menu). A very good alternative for Kipling cafe. But need to concentrate on the food - had to send back beef steak (it was rare when asked for well done!)
Otherwise, Way to go boys!

The place is nicely located , Food is good . Service is good n ambience could be better . The can have warmer lights and interiors could be improvised . The place is converted in to a cafe n hence few improvisation will give the wow factor . But overall a nice place to relax n eat food . I am yet to click pictures of the place . Will do next time .
Sunshine Cafe-A beach villa made into a beautiful restaurant with a breathtaking view. First let me put all the "pros" of this place. The major pros of this restaurant were the Location and Ambiance. They have a double storey villa with a penthouse where they can solidly accommodate 50 customers. Went as a group of 10 and were overwhelmed by the way they treat their customers. Ambiance was pleasant with a soothing background music. Food was neither good nor bad. Non veg dishes were better than the veg. MUST TRY: Fish Steak. Starters were impressive. Ordered two nachos, cheese balls, grill chicken. Main cuisine could have been better. Cauliflower steak was extremely good. Pastas were average.
Pros : Location, Ambiance.
Cons : Very slow service, Value of Money.
The place is right on the sea with a fabalous view They have a bar which I think being New is not fully stocked The pork chops an the schezwan fried rice both good They need to brush up on the service Will be back because of the view
Pleasant and beautiful beach view nice place to hangout with friends

Food-3.5/5
Ambiance-5/5
Staff -4/5
The location and ambience is wonderful. It is very close to beach and you have plenty of parking for car and two wheelers.
Coming to food i would say it tasted good but overpriced for the quantity. I feel the price have to be reduced a little or the quantity has to be increased.
You have both outdoor (hut) and indoor seating.
Newly opened Sunshine Cafe Restaurant and Bar has excellent service and beautiful peacefull place for entertainment they have a nice coffee day coffee also...
They have beach view location also with nice fusion menus please visit once in life ..... thank you sunshine apperciate keep rocking.....
This place was absolutely perfect! The food and service was great! Very friendly staff and extremely accommodating - a rarity in Chennai! The ambience was breathtaking and it helped that the weather on the day was pristine! Definitely a breath of fresh air in Chennai!
Very nice place , yet to be fully opened but food taste is good...the location is superb & its by the beach...the combo's are yet to come in full flow

I wanted to go to this place on 29th of July (grand opening) but couldn't make it.. 😭😭😭 ( chumma reason :busy.. Busy.. Busyooo.. Busy..🐝🐝, real reason :month end kasu illappaa 😉😉)
So decided to go when I have time and money to spend....
Lucky day yesterday both came hand in hand.. (time & money (salary credited SMS)) immediately I decided to visit sunshine Cafe 🌅🌊
By the time I reached there around 6:30 PM climate changed from breeze to wind and rainfall.... But that lasted just for a while, in the meantime I decided to go upstairs and pick the sea view balcony and I did. The table and chairs got few drops of water due to rain and the waiters are kind enough and dried the place for us...
Weather was so good after the rainfall, so decided to spice up the evening 😋😉
#starters_one
One bottle Carlsberg (சத்து டானிக்) 🍺
One watermelon Beach 🍹
One French fries 🍟
With in 5 to 10 mins the orders reached our table...
After we finished the starters we decided to go for another round of starters
#starters_two
One bottle of Carlsberg ( சத்து டானிக்)🍺
One Beef Terikayi 🐄🥩
One prawns sunshine 🍤🌅
Both the items were really good... Beef was jucy and tendery , prawns were spice enough for the occasion.
Due to the weather conditions the food items gets cold easily and the waiters were polite enough to take them back to the kitchen for reheating...
#starters_three
One more சத்து டானிக் 🍺
One sunshine cocktail🍸
We decided to make a move to the main course. Since we were already filled our tummy with enough starters and சத்து டானிக், we wanted to go for just one course.
#main_course
One சத்து டானிக் 🍺
One lamb chops with mash potatoes 🐏🐐🐑🥩
The lamb was tender enough and tasty enough.
No items disappointed us so decided to finish off things with one more and final சத்து டானிக் 🍺😉and asked for bill.
#dessert
As a sweet surprise sweet (chocolate brownie) came and it was on the house 😊😁

I recently stumbled upon Sunshine Cafe in Akkarai which officially opened its doors last Sunday. I was there on Thursday late in the evening when it was pouring crazily and boy, it was the perfect time to be here.Located right before Gossip Bistro (and the toll booth), Sunshine Cafe is in one of the streets which leads right to the beach. Being the last building in that street, it wasn't tough to find. There's ample car parking space too. It's actually a house converted into a restaurant with a massive outdoor space where they've placed shacks. And oh, did I mention they serve liquor? Right at the entrance, there's a pub too. The house sports a huge hall where there are facilities to play snooker and carrom board (which wasn't up when I was there, but they said they'll get it soon). The room on the ground floor was actually quite dingy, especially with blue lighting, so we opted for the first floor which has both outdoor and indoor seating. We obviously went for the outdoor option. When my friend and I were there, it was raining on and off, so naturally, the tables were wet. The staff members were kind enough to wipe the table down for us to use, though the rest of the place was almost empty. While waiting for the food, it started pouring again but thankfully, the open area has a sunshade which covers half the space so we still got to sit outside yet managed to stay dry. As far as the food is concerned, it's predominantly Conti. Considering the weather, we went for a Chicken and Mushroom soup. For starters and mains, we got Beef Teriyaki, Alla Carbonara, and Sea Food Platter. The soup was perfect, with the lovely flavour of fungi and surprisingly good number of chicken chunks. The Beef Teriyaki was also really good and as a sucker for teriyaki sauce, I loved it. Unfortunately, the dish wasn't warm when it reached the table and this time, it wasn't even my fault as I didn't take much time to click pictures :( . I had the same problem with Alla Carbonara which was actually cold. And for a carbonara, it was extremely saucy. Thankfully, the bacon slices made up to it. The Sea Food Platter was quite a mixed bag. The fish and squid weren't up to the mark but the crabcake and prawns were brilliant. Service was extremely good and as the place is humongous, we had someone standing by our side the entire time we had our meal so that we didn't need to look for one. The above-mentioned items cost us Rs 1317, which, I felt to be decent pricing. With a bit of tweaking and making sure the food reaches the customers piping hot, I'm sure they'll be a restaurant to watch out for. The place is sure to look even better during sunset and the pics I took of the ambience don't do justice to the place. And considering how dark this place gets after 7 and the fact that they are yet to get a good footfall, think twice about your company that's accompanying you :)

Well... I had my eyes on this cafe for last one week since I saw the cafe on Zomato. Let me state something clearly, they are not yet officially open, their grand opening is on 29th as they informed, and for now they are operating with a limited menu and domestic liquor only.
Ambiance - wonderful if you get a place on the rooftop. Open space with a beautiful sea facing view. You can enjoy the waves while sipping your beer and munching on delicious food. They also have air conditioned halls and a garden with tables spread out for you to enjoy.
Liquor - As mentioned, only domestic liquor for now.
Food - The two dishes that I tasted was delicious. Cheese Corn Fitters for starter and Paneer Steak with herbal rice for mains. One suggestion: the Paneer needs to be more juicy, then it would be mind blowing.
Staff behaviour - Courteous, ready to help and attentive to the guest. I hope they maintain the same attitude when they are open fully and have more guests pouring in at a time.
Surprise of the day - Due to the location of the cafe, they were having some issue with their card swiping machine. Even after trying 5 times it didn’t work and I had to wait for sometime. The result - a complimentary Chocolate Brownie for me. Thank you for this hospitality.
I look forward to visit you on the opening day 😊
Wonderful place to hangout with friends. Restaurant beautiful location indoor seating arrangement! Friendly staffs, good collection of liquor, and great food. nice experience to hangout her
BAY|6 a beachfront restaurant in an otherwise unassuming stretch of mostly residential plot of land...it sits on the beach with beautiful coastline views.
Today, we sat atop the terrace patio, the sun was mild, the temperature just perfect, the views and winds to remind you how beautiful and serene nature is, a blessed day.
The company was great, we sat there for over three hours, the wide variety of food all fresh, and flavorful. The wait staff and service were good but small room for improvement.
Hope you get to enjoy the place one day.
Best Cafe🔥The sea view and having drinks is awesome👌🏻I’m attracted to this place!❤️
Vera level place for beach lovers. Price is bit high compared to other cafés. They are charging 58% Tax for foreign drinks.
Awesome place for having party and drinks &food beach view is amazing 🤩
Excellent place for family, friends, couples, parties and relaxation
Great ambience and Okayish food
1.Not suited for budget oriented Customers.
2. Suitable place for dining with Business partners and ventures.
3. The beach view is quite good and evening is the best tym to enjoy with a grl frnd.
4. Most of the dishes are ment to be an addon for drinks
5. Regular foods - only fried rice and noodles were available
6.Staff are good and well mannered.
7. Dining per head average will be around 999/-.(its only average)
Overall - it's a good experience, good food a change from traditional foods - Thai noodles a classic pinch
Preferable for bachelor party, business meet & dining, lovers evening hangouts.

Located just beside the beach, this cafe is a go to place for anyone driving down ECR. The board is not very prominent so one has to lookout for the turning. With great outdoor seating in shacks, and a raised seating with a great view of the sea, this place is just wonderful. With a great bar and sumptuous menu I would recommend a visit to anyone going for a weekend drive on ECR.
The ambience was good and food was okay

It was an awesome experience visiting tis place.. Food was nice n their biriyanis are deliciously cooked. Good hospitality. Last but not least nice place to watch IPL in a wonderful atmosphere.. Thanks fr making our visit worthful. Nice place for kids to play around.
Love this place for ambience and location . It is very near to beach and while sitting on raised platform of restaurant you can actuality see the sea waves , looks great in full moon day . Food is average band costly Good thing is they serve alcohol and sometime put a big display to watch cricket
Good open air place to hang out with friends, lively place. .Thank-you food here is bit spicy , if ordered main course the quantity of sabji is very less and not that amazing but OK OK. Overall liked this place ,mind refreshing place...
Amazing staff. Ask for Vivian and your evening is sorted(not saying that the staff is bad other wise). Really nice sea view and sea breeze in the evening. A great experience.
Sea breeze, pets are allowed, good place for drinks and just sea side atmosphere . Food is ok . Try to book a sea side front row table instead of huts .
Amazing ambiance. Good seafood. Good service. Menu lacking some options and beef and pork dishes need some more work.
