New place in town just opposite to Besant Nagar Beach. This place is a new Venture by the Delhi Highway Restaurant. Really enjoyed my time at this place. A cozy rooftop ambiance with a sea view as well as a AC dining. The starters were good, i would recommend naram dil kebab and paneer tikka platter. In mains, Rajma and Shahi paneer was my best pick. The only improvement i suggest for main course would be the a larger portion size. The desserts were also delectable, I recommend moong dal halwa and gulab jamun. Overall a decent place to enjoy with your friends and family.

Dhaatu - The Indian Bistro has recently opened their outlet in Besant Nagar, Chennai. What is special about this place? First & foremost, the beach. It is hardly 200 meters from this place. You can take a walk from the beach and reach this beautiful restaurant. Secondly, the set up. It has a dual set up. One on the second floor with air conditioner & one on the Top Floor which is open. During evening/night, candle light dinner is served. With beach view on the vicinity, what more could you ask for? I was impressed with the paintings(which is featured here). The restaurants has a seating capacity of 80 pax. 3 cars can be parked easily. Courteous staffs. What did I order? Starters: Non-Veg lamb, whole spices, saffron soup Dhai Bhalla Papdi Chat Acharia Paneer Tikka Platter Charcoal Mushrooms Chicken Tikka Platter Blueberry drink Main Course: Jeera Rice Roti/Naan (Garlic/Butter & Kulcha) with Chicken/Lamb gravy Delhi Special Sweet Lassi About the food: I was stumped by the soup. It is unbelievably the best & can say with confidence that I never had such a soup in my lifetime. Other dishes I would recommend would be Paneer which is so fresh & soft. Mushroom is something that had captured my tastebuds. It made my brother in law to comment that, “If I’m getting such tasteful dishes in Veg, I would very well forego non-Veg”. Naan were at its usual best and so as the chicken/lamb gravy. Each one offered a unique taste which cannot be captured in words. To end it up, we had tasty gulab jamuns and Delhi special Sweet Lassi. My Verdict : Do not miss this restaurant, if you’re in Besant Nagar. It is good for get together with your family members, friends and colleagues.
