A surprisingly priced five star restaurant with a fairly elaborate menu. While the beef pepper fry with Malabar parathas was the pick of the lot, the Thai Shrimp Garlic toast was probably the best starter. The MKC Mutton Biriyani was good without being great as was as was the Goan Prawn curry "tiffin". The same could be said of the Thai Basil Chicken Wings and the Pork Belly Open Bao.

It was nice to see the typically Tamilnadu drinks like Bovonto and Paneer soda listed among the soft drinks ! They will get you alcohol from the hotel bar.

The staff seemed rushed off their feet and service was a bit slow. The prices are surprisingly friendly for a 5 star hotel.

Well worth a few visits. I hope it opens soon after the Covid scare disappears !

Landed in Madras Kitchen Company, a brand new restaurant in "West Inn" Velachary, Chennai by skipping the buffet. Typical South Indian food, very tasty dishes at a very reasonable price for a 5 star hotel. The food quality and quantity are excellent. Enjoyed the lunch with our family.

Delicious food and good ambience- Had been to this restaurant last month and ordered Neer dosai with mutton chukka and railway Biriyani. Both were very good, mutton pieces were soft and tasty. Ordered paal paniyaram for desert which was also very good. Only disappointment was masala Bovonto.

Wanted to visit this place for a long time and we choose a family occasion as a convenient excuse :). Decor was good, and it is evident that they have taken pains to bring the distinct touch.

We took Thai red curry Baby corn skewers (3.5 / 5), Banana wrapped meen polichattu (3/5), Chicken bullet chilli (5/5) and Pan seared bao assorted mushroom (4.5/5) from small plates. For main course (large plates) we went for Seasonal saag makki roti (3.5 / 5), MKC mutton briyani (4.5 / 5). Paneer Soda was not available which was disappointing; Masala Bovonto didn't compensate for that adequately.

Overall it was a decent experience, but i felt that they were very slow in servicing (docking them a point for that), this is definitely an area of improvement. Also for a 5 star restaurant it is surprising that the AMEX machines doesn't work.

I would definitely say this is really a good place for dinner more than lunch , but never the less I joined my afternoon meal .

This place stands out from other restaurants. It is clean, friendly service, and much better than other food for the price. I tried almost everything...After eating at this restaurant 3-4 times, I think my family and I have commented on the most is the Staff...we have gotten quick and excellent service .Went there with my family in the last week for my mom birthday. She loves the way they treated us and celebrated her birthday with family and the MKC staffs ! This is a fairly new restaurant but it is a one of the best place for couple ,friends and family .I would simply say go and spend the time with your loved once then that will be best experience ever before..The host Isaac is so friendly and his service was excellent..

Best: Mutton Chukka - no second thoughts

The good: Sophisticated Waiting Staff, Reasonably priced for the Westin Tag, Good Portion Sizes, Flavour & Quality.

The bad: A big group of Soutn Asian tourists were dining and their noise levels were high to everyone’s observation. When visiting an upnotch place any guest prefers an ambience of less disturbance. I passively expected the restaurant staff to request and convenience all of us but that didn’t happen - This is purely a suggestion for the next time something similar happens in your ground.

The advice: Go here for a casual Sunday Brunch/Lunch. The food fills up both your appetite and soul. Their cocktails got quite the kick - I ordered an old fashioned. Explore their menu - I m sure they won’t disappoint - I assume great care is taken to make sure everything tastes authentic and good.

Some ingredients make a successful hotel. Only a few get everything right. And MKC is among those few. . Situated inside Westin-Velachery, its something unique. I have been tending to visit this hotel for a very long time, but haven’t got the opportunity to do so. But I was able to visit it on my recent stay at Westin, stay tuned for updates on DetroitStays folks.

GHUN JAIN

Recently visited Madras Kitchen Company for lunch.. It’s really a Nice place to experience the real taste of street food of Asia and India. The dishes here are truly authentic…It is a newly opened restaurant inside The Westin Chennai. The menu is designed like a newspaper named Namma Chennai. The food tastes homely, not oily and not much spicy… It’s always important to get off to a headstart to make a meal memorable. We started with

Amul Cheese and Crushed Guntur chillies toast:

This was literally, the first thing that I ordered1 only for the love of the cheese. And when you notice with some hot spicy chillies specially hand-picked from “Guntur” excited me a lot. 4pcs were served along with their unique and exotic Tamarind sauce, which sounds weird, but it actually tastes better. My only suggestion would be to add the number of slices! xD

MKC Style Vada Pav:

This one’s for the love of Bombay! the soft & fluffy “Pav” with “Vadas” filled with boiled and mashed Masala Potatoes. But the real flavour heats up with the spicy dry garlic chutney and when the fried green chillies heats up the moment! And doubles the level of taste. Honestly, that was the best Vada Pav I’ve ever had.

Ghee tossed Podi Idli:

The dish that I’ve been having it from my childhood, definitely I had so much of expectations especially from this one. The best part about this was the way it arrived! In a tiffin box. Yes! That was such Nostalgia!!! Talking about the taste, it was superb. But the korma was not upto the mark! My suggestion would be to spice up things and add some vegetables. But the idli is still quivering in my mind! The softness and the spiceness was just perfect, just like a match made in heaven!

POT Paneer Soda:

The infusion of Paneer soda, which is famous in the south and getting it in a poch hotel like “WESTIN” was a massive surprise for me! There was innovation in this too! Serving it in a Mud Pot with loads of ice, and trust me, it was so so refreshing and helped me throughout the meal, its totally worth it.

Wooooooh !! this was soo exciting! Starters were so good, I just felt like I was roaming in the streets with local food. Just loving it! Moving on to the main course for the day!

Veg. Quinoa Tawa Pulao:

Not having much of varities for the vegetarians out there! Though disappointed, the quinoa tawa pulao was something which is not common in restaurants, it was different and that is why I love trying out different things and being adventurous is my style! Though it didn’t come upto my expectations and it could’ve been more spicy, it was served with some onion raita, which was impressive but, In my view, the right side would be some spicy pickle or vinegar onions, On the whole, it was a good and a memorable experience!

Aloo Chole aur Kulche, Kasundhi mirchi:

I must say, by far the most underrated dish of the day! When I saw the item and I just expected it to normal chole and some assorted breads, but I was so damn impressed with the taste of their kulche and the chole was just mouth-watering! It was indeed very yum, that I doubled up my order. The softness of the kulche and the spicy chole makes it an unbreakable Jodi. The “Kasundhi Mirchi” and “Groundnut mint Coriander Chilli Chutney” which was brought alongside the chole was just making the moment heavenly!

Veg. Dumblings:

Not been a big fan of dumblings before, but wait a MINUTE! The MKC-Chennai have changed my mind! The taste was pure and yummy, it was stuffed with tasty pokchoy, tofu, shiitake and celery. 4pcs were served dressed beautifully, half-drowned in schezwan soup which made it awfully look good.

BUUUUUURP! That was one hell of a ride! But since its newly developing restaurant in the city, there should be more items to be added upon to the menu to offer the people!!

No Matter, How, much I Eat, there’s always room for Desserts! Moving on to my favourite section of my reviews. Finally, so many options to choose from!

Nutella Shake

Who doesn’t love Nutella? With the goodness of Nutella, and vanilla ice-creams and whipped cream with sugar sprinklers to top it off was just looking and seducing me to crave for it! As soon as the waiter served us, I immediately started having it. Oh, my goodness! It was just brilliant! I just couldn’t believe for once, that such a heavenly thing would even exist in the world! It was my favourite!

Chocolate Brownie Freak Shake:

After much dilemma, I went with the “Chocolate Brownie Freak Shake” being the big big choc-lover I really anticipated on this one. Filled with the milkshake made up of the bulk of brown brownies and chocolate syrup and yummy Vanilla icecream! as it’s a freak shake, it demands to be gorgeous! And it indeed was with some Honey showerings, Whipped cream and was topped with Cadbury Gems and it looks way better than me describing it here, in words!

Chocolate Textures with Berries:

Well, this is one of the signature dishes of MKC-Chennai, just like how fishes can’t without water, I can’t live without desserts! This came out pretty unexpected, but its name on the menu was very intriguing and increased my levels of curiosity! Pretty much shocked seeing it and it felt like heaven after tasting it! With layers of gelatin chocolate, with a soft chocolate bar as its core, and a layer of smashed berries around it. The whole experience was very unique and will definitely have an everlasting impact.

Veg options were less but really enjoyed the dishes what we had.. The place had a good vibe and the staff were so helpful..

Meal for two INR 1,200 approx
Definetly will go back again to enjoy the array of dishes at this cozy place

The word 'Madras' is always special to anyone who loves the city. This establishment is within The Westin, Velachery and was a oriental place (Five Sen5es) earlier.

The Westin- velachery is bang opposite to GuruNanak College. Parking is within the premises.

The Menu is elaborate with sufficient scope of Indian and pan asian dishes. The cuisene is mostly Indian geography based, could have added more Madras based dishes was what I felt. The ambiance is quite rustic however not much changed from what five senses had.

Started with the drinks - Masala bovonto and Paneer soda which were refreshing. Serving in an earthern pot makes it more quirky.

Then we had the ghee toasted podi idli, Veg korma, chilli shallot coconut relish which is the apt Madrasi dish. Never had a podi idli with korma, this was an interesting find. The thai red curry based babycorn skewers were crunchy and went well with som tam, tamarind mayo. Then we had Hyderabadi Haleem which needs more bone content in it while slow cooked, to make it more authentic.

The dumplings platter in chili broth was a feel-good dish. The bombay sampler of ragda, misal and bhaji with butter pao is the street food platter tasting right outta maharashtra.

We then had the seasonal saag (Palak) with makki roti, malai and MKC gilli biryani. Both were very good and Gilli biryani was more comfortable to have , the way it looked. Saag was however very close to homestyled than commercial.

A meal, definitely ends with sweet delishes - Madras kitchen sundae, gelatos, jalebi & mango cheesecake and Shahi tukda pudding, pistachio sauce anglaise. They were both happy ending desserts. Servings were quirky enough- Pudding was served in a tea vessel and sundae , in a wine glass.

The service was friendly. The prices are lesser than usual star properties for attracting the graduating youths.

AAJ ki taza khabar..

if your looking for butter chicken which reminds you of Delhi,

if your looking for mutton chuka which reminds you of say hyderabad

if your looking for gili biryani which gives you the vibes of namma chennai..

and your search stops here.. at Madras kitchen company. Set at Westin hotel, Velacherry

they have the concept to make the foodie in you feel like home with a twist. Isnt that a good thought?

so I'll quickly hit the food part, obviously there are two portions like small plates and large plates.

Small plates :

1. thai shrimp garlic toast with chili cucumber relish

2. Mutton Sukha, neer dosa , thecha,muthi pyaz

3. chicken bullet chili, peanuts

4. Podi idli

5. wok tossed fish

So the small plates are filling in itself. like the fish and bullet chicken has about 6-7 pieces

thai shrimp toast- 3 slices, and sukha also is like a small meal for one.

Big plates :

Butter chicken and 2 parathas

Mutton gili biryani

to drink I had panner soda. which was served in a matka, cool style huh.

did not have any space for dessert. so ended the meal with a garma garam adrak/ginger chai.

Review :

I mean for a foodie, we always look for places that give you good vibes and food that comforts you. So here is the place which ticks that list. Pretty affordable. for the star hotel like approx 1000- 1500 without alcohol, which is pretty good i feel. Love

It was our second visit to MKC in a month. And it was a mind blowing experience. The ambiance, the food, the service - everything was on par with the expectations. Thank you Isac Sam Raj for waiting on us and carefully guiding us through out the dinner right from the starters upto the desserts. Even though the menu seems limited, they have made sure that each dish on the menu stacks up against the best as far as quality and portion size are concerned. And the prices are so competitive that you forget that its stationed inside a five star hotel. Will be returning soon, hungry for more 😊. Recommended:the bullet chilli chicken, the MKC biriyani, porotta and beef and the MKC hot chocolate.

We had been waiting to try this new place in town and finally went with a large group of 10. We tried most of their small plates and the ones which stood out were the MKC Vada Pav, chicken bullet, Thai shrimp, and the kheema baida roti. The mushroom bao and chicken bao were okay, filling was too little. For the main course we had butter chicken and parathas, kulchas, and saffron roti. For dessert, the coorg coffee tiramisu was disappointing, it didn’t have much of a coffee flavor and wasn’t soft as tiramisu is usually meant to be. The shahi tukda however is worth a try. Most drinks were outright bad like the panakam and Oreo milkshake. The only drinks which we enjoyed were paneer soda and coconut water lemonade. Overall the ambience is a huge plus point, service is good, it’s a place which is worth a visit.

Madras kitchen company was newly opened located inside westin valechery. I had a amazing dinner.
Their menu is in a newspaper format, totally different and unique.
Ambience was too good and their staff was really professionals, experienced and friendly.
This is the only place in 5 star hotel that give us affordable price
Under vegetarian my favourite ghee mini podi idly 😋 with veg kuroma ( very soft and spicy ) must try.
Under non vegetarian BBQ bao was so soft, fluffy and yumm, Neer dosa with mutton chukka was the best and all time favourite, Thai shrimp garlic toast my first experience it was too good with mild taste.
Drinks : I tried spiced panagam (spiced and natural)
MKC Hot chocolate (topped with marshmallows) it was thick and yumm without sugar
Dessert: Jalebi and mango cheescake its combination was not bad and quite did not like it
*Their dishes were full of natural ingredients without sugars.

Ratings breakup: Food -4/5 Ambiance -5/5 Service - 5/5 Menu - 5/5

MKC - The Madras Kitchen Company is a new spot hosted inside Westin at Velacherry. Checked out this place, after hearing really good reviews about their food! I had a few expectations, and after my dinner experience here, I must say, this place exceeded my expectations and I am thoroughly satisfied with the whole experience !

The theme of the restaurant honors the diversity of Madras - the ambiance resembles a street like interior, it has a coffee kiosk like station, which is of-course a signature of madras, cute la la land lamps and the circular caged seating. It was well lit and seating were cozy. The menu was designed like a news paper, the menu consisted of all things indian - the signature dishes from many states were present, leaving us with a range of options to choose from, they also have street style asian food in their menu.

We started our dinner with this brilliant gluten free dumpling - in which shrimp was wrapped in bok choy, and it came along with black fungi and soy sauce ! It was just brilliant ! A MUST TRY dish ! I loved it so much, it had the crunch, the mushroom was so fresh and this whole combination, is an elevating experience.

then we had Thai shrimp garlic toast, which was crisp and good, would have loved it more if it had a spicier dip along. The taste was mild.
Next came in the star of the night - the BBQ bao - this is a closed bao, the buns were sweetish and so soft and fluffy, just the way it should be ! having it with the chilly dip was just the match made in heaven ! so yummy and so good ! definitely going back for this dish !

Spiced panagam - mildly spiced, best drink to have it during the meals, having this on the menu, gives the traditional touch, this was made so well too ! Kudos for using Bamboo straws ! A small gesture goes a long way ! :)

Neer dhosa with mutton chukka - too good to stop with two pieces ! I had more. both the dishes were made with perfection, loved the tender neer dhosa and it very well complimented the spicy mutton chukka, the meat was juicy and the flavors were so apt, another MUST TRY COMBO ! loved it to bits.

Ghee podi idly with vegetable korma - have never enjoyed a ghee podi idly this much, ever before. You might think I'm amplifying, but no ! Try it yourself and thank me later ! The mini podi idlies were soft and steamy hot, we can bath the idlies with generous amount of ghee ourselves ! (I loved doing that, so satisfying !) The korma was a coconut based one, it was good too ! special mention to their cute presentation. This is again a must try, no matter if you are a vegetarian or not.

MKC Hot chocolate - It was topped with marshmallows, there was no sugar added to it, loved the quality and thickness of the drink ! it was perfect, it had the chocolatey- bitterness ! But lip smacking !

Ghilli biriyani - I had it for the very first time, this biriyani is supposed to be wet, it did not suit my palate, also I felt that the spices were over powering. This was the only dish which disappointed me that day.

For desserts I ordered - A madras kitcen sundae with jalebi and mango cheesecake - I quite did not like it too, I felt the artificial mango flavoring was over powering, the cheese cake was not firm enough, and the overall combination did not really work for me.

Pricing - I think they have worked out the pricing very well, quite reasonable for this worthy experience inside a star property, is a big yes !

Bottom line - An amazing array of dishes at a cozy place !

I've been hearing rave reviews about the place, hence thought I'll try it out.
Must say it didn't disappoint at all.
Shrimp in a garlic toast - basically the shrimp and the garlic toast are fried together. The accompanying spiced cucumber and chilli dip went well with it.
Bullet chicken with peanut and chilli - crispy, spicy pieces of chicken, juicy on the inside too. Perfect.
Railway chicken Biryani - spicy with a pudina kind of taste to it. Quite a few deep fried morsels of chicken which are deep fried. With appalam, raita and pickle. Was extremely good. Must try!
Banana, fig smoothie - Okayish. Can improve, wasn't quite as thick as i expected it to be.
Cold pressed apple, orange juice - Again a slight let down. Not bad but again not great.
4/5 because of the smoothie and cold pressed juice let downs.
Otherwise impeccable.
The day was made better by Mr. Ajay who took care of the table.

MKC at the Westin is such a pretty restaurant with great vibes. It serves an interesting mix of regional cuisines and some Asian as well. Absolutely loved the Thai shrimp garlic toast with its burst of flavours. Cold pressed watermelon and basil juice was so refreshing and all natural. The other dish that we flipped for was the tasty mutton sukhha with neer dosa and thecha. Unless you're ravenously hungry, opt for the small plates because you can try more of the dishes and the quantities are quite generous. The service staff know the menu; count on them to give good suggestions. The other thing that I loved was the informal and unfussy style of serving.

Wonderful concept of street food with a modern twist, served in a great ambience. The menu is a delight in a newspaper format, offering small and big plates for everyone sharing on the table to get a taste of many different dishes. We tried many items, the mushroom bao and pork folded bao was a favourite, but everything tasted fresh and flavourful. A must visit when in Chennai, well done on a well executed dining concept.

The Food Fella

Have you ever hesitated trying out a 5- Star restaurant because you felt it was overpriced ? Well then, Madras Kitchen Company has you covered.Welcoming you to good food and Good Ambience

Ambience :

Located in the 1st floor Westin, Velachery, The restaurant has a lovely and spacious Ambience. The entire area is divided into 3. An area for a family/Romantic dinner, An area for “just chilling” with chairs and tables and a center station giving you a closed yet an ambient seating. Extremely friendly And helpful Chefs and staff.

The Food :
The food here is actually a mixture of Regional food with a touch of street food. I enjoyed a whole lot of dishes in MKC. These were my Top picks :-

The Beef chilli fry with Mini Porotta : Tender beef fry, very similar to a home cooked one served with crispy mini porottas. Touched the mallu soul in me 🙂

The Thai shrimp Garlic Toast : The meat within was excellent. This is a must try for all Seafood fans.

Amul cheese and Guntur chilli Toast : The only Vegetarian dish i tried there. The cheese was definetly the major highlight. It was excellent and went really well with the seasoning

4.The Pork Belly Boa : so so good. ❤️ No words

5. The Coorg Coffee Tiramisu : Imagine a well made tiramisu, with extra strong coffee. Being a Tiramisu fan, this is definetly in my Top 5 Tiramisus

6.The 54% texture chocolate : This one is a Dark Chocolate mousse served with a fresh berry puree mix.

7. The dark Hot Chocolate : This is the chocolatiest Hot chocolate I have ever tasted. Period. The only thing sweet was the Marshmellows in it 😀

Caution : The last 2 dishes are strictly for Dark Chocolate lovers. Don’t order if you are a light hearted foodie.
.

.

Delicious dishes and beautiful ambiance. This place definitely got my heart. A special shout out to The Chef Utkarsh who who gave us a informative tour about all the dishes 🙂

Check this one out 🔥

That Chennai Foodie

Got a chance to visit the newly opened Madras Kitchen Company at The Westin , Velachery. The ambience and interiors were absolutely beautiful! The food was amazing as well.

For starters:

2.Bullet Chicken - Had a Dragon Chicken like feel to it , sweet chilli taste.
3.Wok tossed fish - Was served along with onions and cucumbers in vinegar , nice one!

Mains:
1.Aloo chole- Kulcha served along with aloo chole , nice and spicy!
2.Haleem- My favourite! Hot-hot Haleem served along with a roti and some brown onions. Best dish ever!

Desserts:
1. 54% chocolate textures- Off to dessert heaven! Different textures of chocolate along with berries , what more can you ask for?!
2. Tiramisu - Loved this one too! Had the bitterness of coffee along with the sweet taste of the cake.

Drinks:
1.Panneer soda - Was served in a huge pot. Tasted good.
2.Lime soda- 👍
3.Vietnamese coffee- Served hot , had a sweet creamy flavour with a slight bitter taste.

The service was really good. The food was really nice as well. The price also seems quite moderate for a fine dining restaurant. On a whole , highly recommended!

I had an amazing lunch at the Madras Kitchen Company. We started with Fresh lemonade and Neer mor, both delicious and healthy. My favourites were the Podi idli (easily my top dish), the Vegetarian Dumplings which were super soft(second only to the podi idli), and the Quinoa Tawa Pulao. They made Dal Makhni and Ghee Rice for me on request. The Dal Makhni was absolutely great, both rich in flavour and taste. The Chilli Cheese Toast was a flavorful snack. We finished off with the Tiramisu(rich coffee taste with berry sauce) and the Shahi bread pudding, pistachio sauce was amazing, and a definite must try.

This is the latest addition to the Westin Hotels. The menu consists mainly of dishes that are popular on the streets. The prices are very very reasonable for a five star restaurant. Must try dishes are the Podi idly, thair Sadham, Hot chocolate and the 54% Chocolate and berry

Location - located inside the Westin hotel in Velachery

Parking - valet parking available.

Ambience - Top notch. Wall is covered with posters and gallery stands. Has a book shelf too. With books mostly for travelers and visitors to India.
And the menu design is noteworthy. It's in the form of a news paper

Food - menu was so interesting to look at and we chose to try the following starters - Bullet chicken ( best here), pork belly (pork eaters will like this flavoured dish), baby corn skewers (worth👍) and Amul cheese toast (not a big fan of toasts but this one is topped With so much cheese and I loved it). And the final starter was banana wrapped meen poichathu.. 👌👌One of the best fish dishes wrapped in a banana leaf.

For main course we ordered the MKC mutton briyani and the Goan prawn curry with goan sannas. The sannas are nothing but our idlis with an extra ingredient - coconut . The sanna prawn combo was good. And coming to Briyani, it tasted so good

Among the drinks we tried panagam, Nutella shake and Hot chocolate. Panagam was not impressive. But the hot chocolate was a sure shot try here. Had a good consistency. NUTELLA shake has no complaints though.

Among the desserts we tried - Tiramisu and paal kozhukattai were good.

Service - service was so good. Right from receiving us, the waiter explained the menu clearly and guided us choosing.

Pricing - very nominal compared to other restaurants in star hotels. Worth a try.

A new and indeed a great addition to the Chennai eats. Very elegant place with quirky touch to it - The menu is in form of Newspaper ( oh yes, crossword included), Board games and books are also available( Have fun while you wait for the delicious food to arrive). Nicely curated menu that brings in local cuisine to international grounds.

Amul cheese and chilli guntur toast - This definitely reminded me of my childhood days. Delicious chilli toast with gracious amount of cheese served with tamarind sauce.

Pan seared Bao - Freshly made steam buns filled with barbeque chicken. The buns were really soft and fluffy. Open bao with spicy tofu also tasted really good.

Oreo shake and Nutella Shake - As the name says it all, one can't go wrong with Nutella or Oreo.

MKF hot chocolate - Rich hot chocolate with marshmallows. I prefer sweetened chocolate but this was pure cocoa slightly on the bitter side. Maybe it's one for the hardcore dark chocolate lovers.

Paneer and orange soda - Refreshing drinks to sip on served in terracotta pots. It's a drink for two!

Railway Station Chicken Biryani - The biryani was flavourful with juicy chicken pieces. This was one my favourites from this place.

Chicken bullets - Fried chicken with guntur chilli and peanuts. Cooked to perfection.

Paturi maach - Typical Bengali fish preparation( mustard alert!) served with aloo begun bhaja and ghee rice.

MKC style vada pav, chicken dumplings and chikoo date honey smoothie were some of the other dishes that tasted yum.

Food 4/5
Ambience 4/5
Service 4/5

Ordered almost everything on the menu . The 54 percent dessert is to die for .decadent and not too sweet . Just the right notes. Most of the dishes were a hit but needs more variety in case of rice options but an evening snack or a hangout with friends for a nominal meal or to just sit quietly and work at a 5 star hotel is a great idea . Vfm -5/5 food 4.5/5 variety 3.5/5

Who said star hotel are supposed to be too costly, here a wonderful new restaurant to break such stereotype. Madras kitchen is the new restaurant in the star catagory list and definitely into my favourite list. Restaurant that's with beautiful ambience that's curated with all the local and international cuisine into their menu that celebrates Madras through food.

Started off with a refreshing paneer soda that can be shared by two then came the two starters out of six we ordered. The pork belly and the Chicken bullets tastes a bit similar in taste i guess the sauce that goes in it are similar but both totally cooked to perfection. Then came the two Chinese starters the vegetable dumplings and the veg cabbage rolls which was lite yet flavourful. Then came the other two indian starters the gheelicious podi idli and veg korma and the guntur chilli toast with amul cheese both soo lip smackingly flavourful.

For the main course we ordered a quinoa veg tawa pulao and beef fry with malabar paratha. The veg quinoa pulao which my friend ordered said it tasted good with not too much masala. The beef fry was soo perfectly cooked with the right malabar flavour with the heavy fragrance of coconut oil.

For the desserts we ordered the 54% texture cake , Madras mango sundae and the hot chocolate. The 54% texture cake had three beautiful layers that tasted soo great. The mango sundae also had three different layers of buttered crumbles , mango compote and whipped cream. And then at last the hot chocolate that was soo rich in consistency and taste which was also bitter as it is 74% dark chocolate.

Overall this restaurant is soo beautifully curated with their local and international cuisine and the main highlight about this restaurant is that everything is soo reasonably priced.

MKC or Madras Kitchen Company is a newly opened restaurant as part of the sprawling Westin property in Velachery. The first impression gives you an instant thumbs up with the decor being striking and the ambiance aesthetic and appealing.

It gives a very laidback as well as an insouciant atmosphere with it's signature wood work and artisanal surroundings. The menu has been created in a very crafty manner coming in the form of a large newspaper with lots of snippets thrown in not only about the food but also the city of Chennai in general. The cuisine is largely regional with a twist as there is a lot of fusion element interspersed to it. A little bit of Asian too has been added to the fray.

We were here for lunch on a lazy weekday afternoon and looking forward to what the place has to offer. The first item itself blew us away which was an amalgamation of Amul cheese and a guntur chilli spread on a bed of bread. The fill over not only looked magnificent but also tasted superlative. Next up we tried the Asian Bao's. This was an open bao stuffed to the brim consisting of juicy pieces of tofu, capsules of edamame green gram and laced with drooly layers of mayo. This was messy, junky, dunky and damn tasty. After this we tried their innovative ghee tossed podi Idly which came with a delightful kurma and a chilli coconut relish. This was served in the school tiffin style and had an old world charm about it. From the starter section, we also tried the curd rice which came with interesting concoctions which we had towards the end of our meal.

The starter section was totally top notch and no two ways about it. In the main course, we had the bombay sampler of ragda, misal and bhaji with butter pao. Though bhaji is a popular dish down south, we very rarely get to taste ragda or misal and this was a well done up 3 in 1 combo. Apart from this we also had a crack at the aloo chole with kulche. This was decent but however the chole felt a little less boiled and the taste did not come out very apparently.

We polished our meal with two gorgeous desserts. The 54℅ chocolate textures with berries had a really rich and smooth taste to it. The Madras Kitchen Sundae with a cheese cake slitted in was really yummy and mellow.

The service was friendly and the staff were very welcoming in not only answering our queries but also suggesting us on how to go about with our choices. If you're looking for regional cuisine with a sleek fusion element interlaced to it, you should certainly check out Madras Kitchen Company.

Beautiful interiors, brilliant service yet not so pricey! Madras kitchen company is something we Chennaites will cherish!

Being a restaurant inside star hotel and not so pricey makes you visit this restaurant for all your special occasions along with your loved ones.

The elaborate menu which is printed as a news paper is presented to you and you can choose wide variety of dishes, cocktails and mocktails .

Food I ordered,

Thai shrimp garlic toast - Delicious well cooked shrimp well placed on top of garlic toast bread along with two types of yummy dips 🤤

Bullet chicken with peanuts - Another simple yet delicious dish.

Banana wrapped mean polichathu - if this is the menu, surely I am not gonna miss ❤️😍 and boy it was delicious.

All the starters were quite good and portion was big which can be shared by two.

For main course I opted for Neer dosa with Mutton Chukka 🤤🤤🤤🤤 I wanted to have something light yet so satisfying for my taste buds and I didn’t looked further. The masala in the chukka was blended with tender mutton cubes and dosa is 😍

Drink - very rarely I get surprised and this time it was the drink which surprised me 🙈 I ordered a masala cola and it came in a small pot with big wooden straw 😍

Overall it was an brilliant dinner night and you should definitely take your loved ones for your normal and special occasions.

The place has an attractive center piece to it , the staff are lovely , friendly and always helpful. The ambience will be best to be enjoyed in the night time , that's when the brightness and vibrant displays are lit. 😍 The food is just too good here , if you love the feel of street food then this is the place for you , I enjoyed my time here eating the Chicken Bullet and MKC Mutton Briyani , the food is so rich in its taste and history as it suggest. The nutella shake was too good and so yum filled with delicious hazelnut and choco combo is a win for me. The food is given in large portion so this is a plus if you are coming with you friends or family , sharing is caring 😋. Will definitely come here once again with a crowd to eat many more things next time.

See, swirl, smell, sip and savor! I’ve always been fascinated by these terminologies used in wine tasting. …’aromas of cassis and cherry, perfumed with tropical red-fruit nuances and French oak-inspired hints of vanilla, coffee and spice’…. …’liqueur-like layers of cassis and wild berry, flavors of toasted oak, chocolate and roasted coffee’…

This newly opened place is truly a gem.😍 I love their concept of street food with reasonable price for quality as well as quantity. Having said that, I noticed their ambience is full of our childhood memories. Im totally in love with the ambience.✨ sucha lovely place.
Coming to their food, I dono where to start coz everything was just amazing.
Starting from the starters, I fell for their amul butter toast with guntur chilies ❤️ Amazing taste. It was very delicious.
Chicken bullet chili was too too good. As I said everything was on point. This chicken was so good with peanuts.
I also tried their podi idly, Oh God I have no words to describe but the presentation was brilliant. It will definitely bring back our childhood memories. Those tiffin box and everything.
They actually serve water in the copper bottle 😍 which is a very good thing. And the soda I ordered they served it in a pot with a bamboo straw 😍 seriously all the small small things made my day ❤️ It's very rare to even see a place like this. Clearly this place has my heart.
I love all the starters especially fish polichathu wrapped in a banana leaf.❤️
For the mains I went for Mutton Biryani 😍 which was equally good. And desserts 😍 I had tiramisu which was so nice and another favorite is their 54% Chocolate textures 😍 I would say "The Best". ❤️
Service was too good they explained about their concept and food and their cuisines for better understanding. Thanks so much. I really had an amazing food and had an awesome time.

Ambience : Where can I even start ? The minute you enter this place , you're taken into a different world that makes you feel relaxed . The ambience is soothing , with a very neat yet classy seating . There is a separate area with high tables and bar setup for enjoying couple drinks with your friends and a 3D setup for embracing your family time as well . The decors are ritzy and gives you a perfect fine dining experience with a twist in the menu . 😋
Food : The cuisine is based on 90% indian street food and 10% pan asian contemporary food . The choices are wide and each dish is tempting to try and you'll end up going more than just once to try their entire menu . I personally loved the spicy tofu bao , chilli bullet chicken , MKC biryani and their hot chocolate .
Definitely worth the visit and many other visits ❤

Madras kitchen company is a newly opened restaurant in westin chennai ..
The restaurant serves regional street foods .. It is completely focused on the Indian and asian cuisines ..

Food
1. MKC style vada pav - If is one of the most famous street food in north India .. MKC ensured to bring the same flavour in its own style .. The dry coconut garlic chutney and the pav reminded me the vada pav wch I tasted years back in Mumbai ..
2. Ghee tossed podi idly - More than the food I liked the presentation .. It took me back to the school days.. It s served in a silver lunch box .. Along with ghee podi idly , it also had vegetable korma, Desi style shallot & chilli salad .. The refined ghee is presented in a mini cooker .. Looked extra cute .. The podi idly is well tossed in ghee and podi .. It was not spicy .. Mini idly is was very very soft .. Yhe vegetable Korma is prepared with the coconut milk .. The veggies are boiled in the coconut milk and served .. It had mild sweetness.. The total serving is 8 mini idly pieces ..
3. Chicken bullet - Well cooked chicken in asian style .. The level of spiciness was less .. The crunchy peanut in it totally elevated the dish ..
4. Veg steamed dumpling - The best dumpling I had so far .. The outer layer was thin and perfectly balanced with the stuffings .. The texture was juicy and not rubbery .. The stuffings was flavourful ..
5. Spiced chicken wrap - A mix of flavourful chicken wrapped with water chestnut and spinach served with 3 varieties of sauces .. Hot garlic, black bean, ginger scallion sauce .. No complaints on the food .. Well cooked, flavourful .. It s just tat I always go with the fried chicken instead of the steamed one .. hence it doesn’t suit to my taste palate .. That black bean sauce has my heart ❤️
6. Makki ki roti - Two small pieces of makki ( corn ) roti is served with buttery spinach gravy and jaggery .. The roti goes well with the jaggery .. The spinach gravy was neither sweet nor tasted bitter ..
7. Shahi Tukda - This is one of the famous dessert in north India .. But this stands out from the normal one .. Here it is layered with ( mostly ) sweetened bread, sweet Kova and Rabdi .. Topped with pista, dried small pieces of Rose petals .. served chill .. One of the best shahi tukda in the city ..
8. Chikkoo smoothie - The quantity was more than wt we expected .. Tasted too good .. Dates and honey was properly balanced with yogurt .. Even after adding all this .. The flavour of chikoo was retained brilliantly..
9. Hot chocolate - 75% of dark chocolate is the input .. Topped with marshmallows.. The consistency of the hot chocolate was perfect .. But my taste palate wanted it to be sweeter ..

Service - Outstanding and very quick to our needs .. They suggest u the best .. Friendly service and the food arrives on time .. Special mention to Mr. Issac who gave a short description about each item and suggested the best ..

Ambience - Pleasant ambience .. U can walk in with ur laptop and work while waiting for ur food to arrive .. But trust me “ The food comes on time “ ..

The menu also has different varieties of coffee, tea and cocktail .. The sides are not costly .. All the sides are priced at ₹50 ..

The price is less wen compared to the restaurants that is located in the star hotels .. The price matches to the quantity, taste and the ambience in which it is served ..

Almost all the items in the menu looked very promising and enriched with nutrients .. Do try it out .. Worth spending for the whole new experience..

Had been to Newly opened MKC at Westin. When you walk in ambience is great, seating is comfortable. Cuisine is Indian and Asian food. We tried Thai skewers, Chinese cabbage rolls, dumplings, spring hopper with Kadala curry and tiramisu. All tasted good, of them spring hopper with kadala curry and tiramisu were superb, complimented with fantastic service from their staff. Pricing is reasonable for a restaurant in Star hotel. Definitely worth the money spent, Go for it!

There is no restaurant like this in the entirety of Chennai, and this has to be one of my favourites. We enjoyed the lamb sheek kebab, malabar parotta, amritsari gosht. Also the desserts are too good to miss. Don’t forget to try Chocolate Texture and Tiramisu.

A new restaurant at Westin Chennai and I couldn't wait trying it. Went there straight as soon as I landed in Chennai and the place went beyond my expectations. A fresh and contemporary design very approachable, which is something very new in the city specially inside a star hotel. The menu is also well thought and designed. I liked the small eats and perfect portion sizes. I ordered a Thai style skewers made with water chestnuts, babycorn and coconut served with tamarind mayo then ordered parsee akuri, salli, brioche and caramelized tomato jam the in-house baked brioche was perfect. The main course was mutton shukka with appam, teacha and muti pyaz. Coming to the main part I ordered Mallika a Jasmine syrup and gin based cocktail which was super aromatic and refreshing for an hot afternoon and the tried Annachi a Chardonnay wine and brandy based cocktail with cold press pineapple juice which turned out to be my favorite. The best part about this place is they don't use any artificial syrups are packed juices for cocktails and use only cold press juice and home made natural syrups. Even the Jasmine used in the cocktail is grown in house in their roof garden. It's a refreshing change for Chennai cocktail scene. I just tasted the cold brew coffee which was amazing. The have a interesting coffee and tea selection as well which I would try next time.

Janani Dwarakanath

The first thing that strikes you about the place is how affordable it is. The pricing is spot on and menu centeres around street food.

What I liked about the place:
1. Great food - We tried the Vada Pav, Dimsum, bao, podi idli and the Haleem. The Haleem was the dish of the day for me, closely followed by the podi idli and korma combination. The desserts, shakes, juices and the cocktails had a desi twist, esp the spiced bovonto.

2. The price- Super affordable for a 5star hotel.

3. Great service- Really attentive and the waiter took pains to explain each dish.

What could be better:
1. The seating - Am not a huge fan of hard seating. Love cushions. So this was a bit of a bummer.

Overall, we had a great experience. Special mention to Shranoth from the hotel who made us feel super welcome.

The staff was very nice and eager to help us. Our hostess Aleena I need to mention was really good ensured we had a nice time during our lunch

Even the prices was low compared to a 5 star property and reasonable.

Overall a wonderful lunch on a Saturday. — eating lunch at The Westin Chennai Velachery.

Good spread of food from across the country. The taste is great and hospitality is praiseworthy. Take manager's recommendations while ordering, it turned out to be superb every time in our case.

Wanted to try out this newly opened restaurant in Westin. We were amazed by the ambience of this place. Such a lovely place to walk in.
They have a variety of food from South Indian to North Indian and Asian too.
The main USP would be the price . It is cheaper compared to other star hotels , and the food served is definitely worth the money you spend.
No complaints whatsoever on the service part.
Overall a place which doesn't let u down on any aspect. !

A beautiful blend of north and the south cuisine . The major highlight is the half cut plate served with food ! Might sound like a kid, but found it very unique and striking of the restaurant.

I Am sure I will be back for more !

Ambrosia!! Food for the Gods!!!

If I could rate MKC higher than the maximum permitted I would. That’s how delicious the food was.

For Chennai, that is Madras, degustation is an idea whose time has come. I have visited more than a handful of restaurants and can safely say The Westin’s MKC has got it right.

All credit to Chef Utkarsh and Isaac who made this gastronomic experience a culinary art. Gustation is all about tasting small portions of a chef's signature dishes in one go. MKC’s variation is bringing all Indian and South East Asian tiffin/street food as small plates or starters. Whether it was the idli with spicy powder, the skewered baby corn, dim sum, or vada paav the taste was authentic. The concept is not ‘luxuriate’ the food but present it as-is and serve it in a setting which is relaxed yet authentic.

The main course of quinoa pulav was so so delicious that the raita wasn’t needed. Not many chefs can whip up this sort of a magical dish.

The divinely delicious food; extensive menu, efficient service and the understated luxury make MKC a must try restaurant in Chennai that is Madras. I suppose MKC will ensure the success of degustation as a concept in this modern yet mostly conservative city.

Thank you Chef Utkarsh, Isaac and the rest of the team for what was a truly magnificent culinary experience.

Contrary to its name, this restaurant serves the very best from across India, albeit with its signature twist. The fascinating thing is the authenticity - unadulterated flavours without the regular "5 star" touchup we are all so accustomed to. A must visit for any foodie ....

I rarely write reviews but I had to for this one. I’ve always felt Chennai lacks fusion food - quirky presentation type of restaurants that one can find in major in places like Bombay, Delhi or Bangalore.
MKC clearly is first of its kind in Chennai, and the food tastes as good as it looks (totally instagram worthy). What took me by surprise though was the price point, which turned out to be super affordable for a place like Westin!!
I’m glad to see Chennai catching up with such fusion restaurants, and its definitely a must visit for both young and old !

By chance I fell.upon this restaurant.
We wanted to dine in Seasonal Tastes.
But got to know they had a new restaurant opened in the hotel and hence tried it out.

I should say, the restaurant is cozily done.
Reading materials was there as part of decor.
Red bricks as wall panels.

The food was very nice and akruri was pick of the lot.
Presentation of food was a highlight.
Isaac was very polite and answered all our questions.

When it came to food pricing I was blown away.
Not what you expect from a 5 star hotel.
Cheaper than a lot of standalone restaurants as well.

Great new place in the city!
In place of the earlier Chinese restaurant, Westin had introduced a fresh new version with a twist in the menu !

The ambience , service and feel of the restaurant is as soothing as you can get.

Tried a variety of dishes from their menu,
Would definitely recommend their Parsi accuri and the shrimp on toast (which we ended up ordering on repeat!)

Go visit if you're in town!

MKC takes care in providing a delightful dining experience with special attention to its welcoming atmosphere. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Their chicken biryani was delectable and plated quite aesthetically too. The highlight of the evening was their freakshake! Massive and scrumptious!

Devahuti Gogoi

The food is great in terms of flavour as well as quantity. The ambience was blissful with live music. I brought my parents here and we had a lovely time. Chef Darwan Singh Rawat was very warm and hospitable and his complimentary offerings were top notch. Truly an epicurean himself, he brings the world to our plates.

Sreeshma Achuthan

The food was delicious, especially the vegetarian dishes. There were not many options. Food tasted much like homemade with a dash of star hotel atmosphere. The portions were also just right for a person. The ambience was superb. Worth a try.

Vinoth Chandar

We explored a new restaurant named MKC yesterday. It was a pan Asian fusion restaurant. A real fusion food. We had a dish where they mixed maggi with panner gravy which the kids loved. Vada pav tasted great. Aloo kulcha and tofu black bean with sticky rice were awesome too. Forgot about the yummy Amul cheese toast. They had fewer vegetarian options when compared to the non vegetarian options but whatever we ordered was yummy. The ambience was good. The chairs could have been more comfortable. One issue we faced as soon as stepped outside the restaurant was the bad smoking smell because of the adjacent bar. It was throughout the first floor which made uncomfortable.

Madras kitchen company - Like the name 'Madras' indicates 'Emotion', this restaurant gave one such beautiful experience that would be cherished forever. Me and my friends were looking for a best restaurant in Chennai for a get together. We have chosen this one based on many positive reviews and apparently,our decision was right. The ambience was top notch. This restaurant welcomes you with a beautiful quote 'Food is Love is Food'. Food menu was quite interesting. They had different cuisines like Asian, typical South and North Indian. Service was good and food were served on time. Overall, we had a good food and great time. We will surely visit this place once again.

Naveen Viswa

I had the pleasure of visiting a restaurant for a special occasion, and I must say the entire dining experience was exceptional. From the outstanding service to the delectable taste of the food, everything surpassed my expectations. The ambience was exquisite, albeit with a higher price range, the quality of the food justified the expense.

nisha sridhar

I've been to this place twice now. Second time experience was much better. Taste of food is pretty good. Starters were all good. If you are getting veg thukpa or any ramen dish, the quantity is quite a lot and it can be finished by a group

TS Sudarsh

Wonderful ambience 🖤 Visit in morning for the beautiful view of Garden from the Glass panes. Very hospitable service ✅ Good food I tried : -Bullet chicken with Peanuts -Butter chicken with Malabar Paratha

Mr Pesh

One of the good restaurants in the surroundings. It quality of the food is awesome but few dish’s taste is not up to the mark. The best part is the food value the money. The must try dish is (Thai garlic prawn toast). You can experience an cool, calm, and pleasant dining. The only thing I would suggest this restaurant is to 1. Explain the dish better in the menu. 2. Then the waiters should explain the dish better and to place order correctly without any item missing from the list.

Ashwin R

Very pleasant place to spend time with family.. courteous staff, tasty food, excellent and quick service, and options available for all age groups.. Kids to aged.. Quantity is sufficient and pricing also moderate.. Kishore & Divya needs special mention and appreciation for smiling faces and great service..

Staying at the Westin for a wedding, we went to the MKC restaurant last night and the food was phenomenal. We had the mutton ghee roast and Bombay sampler which were both delicious but the star of the show for us was a small plate (not so small lol) of khaman dhokla chaat which was phenomenal! The chef Darwan came out to see if we were enjoying the food and very kindly told me the recipe! We will definitely come back again tonight fir our last night at the Westin. Thank you Darwan and team for stunning food both at the MKC restaurant and in the hotel!

Vidya Lal

Shreyash Sigtia

Had a quick lunch at MKC when I was in Chennai. The decor of the place stands out, the way Menu is presented is very interesting. Food is slightly on the spicy side but interesting options to choose from. Service here is outstanding.

Karthick Ranganathan

We visited MKC on a special day, as a family we had a wonderful experience. Nice ambience Great customer service Food was awesome especially Crispy Corn, Dumplings, Curd Rice, Baby Potato, Vathakuzhambu etc everything tasted wonderful and mind blowing. Thanks to Chef Mr Kranthi and Mr Arivu for wonderful dishes. Also the chef ensured my daughter enjoyed her first cooking experience in the kitchen. Overall a wonderful experience and as a family we enjoyed so much. Keep up the good work and the Authentic taste of foods.

The wife was enamored by the concept that would trigger a jog down the memory lane. We were here for a coffee dessert outing and happened to be the only other couple in the setup. The filter coffee was a lot of milk with far less kick in it. Bao buns could have used a bit more steaming time as I found them to be doughy at places. The highlight was the Madras sundae which is a weird concoction of all the good things to make the taste a whole lot better. Will definitely chance ourselves for a dinner outing.

Dipti M

Beautifully decorated restaurant. We went in for an evening snack and had a nice quiet time. The sundae was a pleasure to see but definitely got very sweet at the end. The mushroom bao buns were tasty little pockets.
