black orchid

food - 4.25/5
ambience - 4.25/5
service - 4.5/5

parking is never an issue here for both two wheelers and four wheelers (valet parking available). the service was really courteous with a quick order processing time. the 'chilli guava mocktail' was my personal favourite here. the sushis are a must try here considering their specialisation in japanese cuisine.

recommended! 👍

black orchid is a great place to hang out with either your family or a group of buddies over drinks and good food. the thyme rhyme is an interesting choice if you’d like a fruity vodka based cocktail. the salmon maki roll and calamari were good. i enjoyed the prawn teppanyaki with oyster garlic sauce! i’m sure i’m going back there for a teppanyaki with another interesting cocktail soon.

one of the best resto bars in chennai. place has a lovely ambience and filled with friendly staff.

thier original cocktails are another level. and you can bet on their sushi. enjoyed!

went here recently for lunch, this is a newly opened resto-bar in the city located near crown plaza.

the place is pretty big and you have parking facilities as well. the place has a very good ambience, just like any other top resto-bars in chennai. the place has 2 levels, ground floor and 1st floor. the first floor has the bar counter. the place is very comfortable

now coming to the food, tried the japanese set menu which was priced around 800 rupees per person which includes a salad, sushi, teppanyaki main and the desert. they have both veg and non veg options so don't worry. the food is really nice and you will definitely love it. if you feel like japanese is just not for you, try this place and you will have second thoughts. its not authentic japanese but with a twist.

i also tried the mocktails over there and trust, they probably had one of the best mocktails i ever tired. it was extremely well curated. try their chilli guava and also lime sugarcane based mocktail, its just amazing.

do check this place out with your friends and you will really love it.

writing a review after months!! thanks to covid!
after such a long break, i decided to go out for a meal (off course i took all precautions). chose to visit black orchid to check out their set lunch menu that includes delicious sushi (after so many positive reviews). i should say i was not disappointed. loved the quick fresh salad. the california roll and kakiage maki were just yummy! for mains we had veggies toasted in garlic butter and chicken in teriyaki sauce along with sticky rice and noodles. loved every bit of it.
also very impressed by the hygienic environment they maintain and all the safety measure they have taken! felt safe dining here on the whole.

the first to arrive are maki rolls with a choice of vegetables, and crisp california sushi with crab stick, carrot and avocado. this is sushi with a western edge but the touch of wasabi and the soft crunch of rice and seafood lend it a pronounced asian accent.

a mixed platter of cottage cheese tostadas and mushroom crostinis appears next. each sliver of cottage cheese is velveteen with a little fire of spices; the mushroom can be mistaken for coarse minced meat. which is not a bad thing; my companion and i shovel these little eats straight off the platter.

the ambience is really amazing consisting of two floor with the live shushi preparation in the ground floor and a bar at the top floor. i had an amazing experience here , the food was lovely , a great place to come with friends as the quantity and quality is wonderful. i had a shrimp lover shushi and a mutton starter and the taste was really wonderful. as for the drinks i had mocktails and finished it with alfredo pasta and brownie with ice cream. really loved it here and would love to visit once again.

had a great experience.. food was excellent..staff were friendly n followed all safety measures. unique cocktail menu. over all had an awesome time ☺️

was there for dinner with my friends last week, had an amazing time. absolutely delighted with the variety of food and drinks. very friendly and helpful service by subu took outmost care of us. beef teppanyaki was great, and good choice of sushis.

on a overall it was great experience.

restaurant visit after so many months. food review after may be years. black orchid is a 3 floored luxury dining plus a resto bar sits just few metres away from boat club road. has a posh look, minimal yet attractive lighting, nice seating, ipl screening & the safety precautions like open kitchen, the staffs wearing masks, sanitising. full marks so far.

over to the food, they have a very limited menu coz of pandemic, but it's perfect for the drink dine set up. oak ratafia, a whisky + wine cocktail superbly set up the evening with it's perfect level of liqueur mix. we ordered 2 sushi's crispy california with crab stuffing was so good with a japenese mayo on the top of it. shrimp lover has a fried top portion which i felt didn't enhance the flavour much. beef teppanyaki was the best of the lot with it's super saucy little sweetish taste. meat was perfect too. chicken with butter garlic flavour could've been more punchy esp garlic & also much more saucier like the beef one.

in poultry & meat, the fish & chips with lemongrass & peri peri flavoured dip was nice, i felt the outer fried portion had a thick consistency. penne pasta when had with mushrooms, vegetables and chicken gave a nice tasty end to the satisfying meal.

i wish they expand the food menu more in coming days, at least the pizzas and the desserts. with few in house special cocktails, i think the bar menu is sufficient for a nice evening. there was a little delay in preparing the food but the management (subbu) was very kind to acknowledge that. special mention to the quantity of the food & their prizes, definitely a steal deal for such a lit place. they also have a 799 lunch meal.

all said and done, they have restarted their service after a long time and i have already experienced a perfect relaxed dinner after so long. thank you black orchid. wishes for the days to come.

was there last night, all the necessary safety norms have been taken care of perfectly. the place is done up so well, super spacious - has 3 floors - super posh and amazing seatings. they have kept the menu really limited due to the ongoing pandemic ! for starters we went two types of maki rolls - my all time favourite - crispy californian maki and the shrimp lover. both the rolls were perfect and presented very neatly. surprisingly i love the shrimp one more - the addition of mayo gave it a cheesy output, totally loved it. the addition of tanoki in crispy californian maki gave crackly and dry outer layer, which didn't work with me so well. then we had oak ratafia - oh ! it was a treat to both eyes and taste buds ! just too good, a must try drink when you are here ! from teppanyaki we had tenderloin with teriyaki sauce and chicken in butter garlic. i must say the staff really know their menu so well and they give the perfect recommendations ! the tenderloin was super tender and juicy - the sauce was lick worthy ! another must try dish. on the other hand the chicken dish lacked the punch of garlic !fish and chips was as usual a hit, the two dips went really well with the fries and fish ! for main course we went for penne pasta with chicken in parmesan cheese - this was again u er good - lots of yumm veggies, the sauce was super creamy and the pasta was cooked al dente just the way i love it ! would definitely recommend this place for the amazing service, food and drinks !

from the minute i entered the place , till i left, the staffs made sure i felt as comfortable as possible. the hospitality was just great.
the place is two-tired, with live screening, bar and a nice view on the top floor and live shushi counter in the lower floor. i can't stress this enough, but the ambience is just so welcoming, warm and ritzy.
i personally loved their veg shushi , probably one of the very few places where you can try amazing veg sushi in chennai . it was so perfect and i literally gobbled an entire plate of it :d
their lotus stem and veggies tossed in garlic sauce were also absolutely delicious starters. i tried penne alfredo for main course and it was one of the best pasta i've had . perfectly cooked , creamy and juicy .
finished the meal with their fudgy brownie with vanilla icecream.
an absolutely wonderful experience no-one should miss out on❤️

fantastic ambience & amazing food .. i loved the sushi & pasta .. the staff are courteous & very helpful . one of the best restobar in the city.
