new pattukottai kamatchi mess

went there with a lot of expectations as there was so much hype about this place.
ambience was decent and the staff were courteous. ordered the non veg meals and they served rice with 7-8 different gravies. only 2-3 gravies were good and the rest were not worth trying. they could have stuck to 3-4 good dishes instead of putting a lot on the leaf and failing expectations. order 2 sides with the leaf thali - country chicken fry and mutton pushpa. the chicken was good but the mutton was dripping will oil and was too bland.
would i pay 300 each for just these two sides? definitely no!
might go back to try their biryani as they did not have biryani the day we visited.
note: they said they do not serve biryani on new moon days.

heaven for chettinad food lovers. their non veg meals , sides and biryani were excellent.

only negative, i went with my kid and they dont have anything less spicy.. there was no chicken 65 too. he was little disappointed..

best place to eat traditional south indian food....all the food varieties are simply good,it’s like eating in village side with lot of spicy.unlimited rice and gravy just you need to order sides for it all the gravy or super mine is nattokozhi and meen kozambhu is fav

visited the new pattukottai kamatchi in t.nagar today.waited for around 15 minutes as the restaurant is crowded.
it is a typical chettinad restaurant with yummy food.
we had ordered three non veg meals along with kola,fish fry and mutton chukka.
all the dishes were good with medium spicy.
one of the best chettinad restaurants in chennai..

horrible food. even worse ambience. this place doesn't deserve anything near the 4.4 rating that it has now. surprisingly this place is overcrowded despite poor taste and service which is probably due to unusually high rating

went to this place for lunch with friends on a weekend. we have to wait for some time because it is crowded on weekends.

this place is purely for nonveg foodies.
it is typical down south food. they serve it in banana leaves.

we ordered meals along with mutton sukka, chettinad chicken, prawns fry, chicken fry, omlets and chicken biriyani.

in meals they serve two veg dishes and seven varieties of nonveg gravies(chicken, country chicken, mutton, fish, prawn, crabs ,dried fish) without pieces followed by rasam and curd. all the gravies are cooked so well with right amount of spices. the spice level is high which we liked it. biriyani and other dishes also tasted good.
ordered paneer soda to reduce the spice level but can't resist to eat more 🙂

don't miss it if you are a non veg lover.
value for money.

this place is heavenly ❤️❤️❤️❤️.

it's a typical south indian mess which serves non veg but what makes it different from others is they serve 9 different gravies with rice which are so tasty and drool worthy.

we ordered mutton sukka, pepper chicken, prawns fry as starters along with omelettes.

the crab, chicken and fish gravy werr the best of the 9 gravies served

food 5/5
service 4/5
ambience 4/5
value for money 5/5

overall 5/5 for the amazing food.

a foodie place,if you're looking for traditional sound indian style ,this is the place. each and every kozambu taste was awesome,ambience and staff were polite and served well. #food #southindian #mealsready

good experience of south tamil nadu food style..
tried crab fry sooo spicy, fish fry is very soft and fresh.
chicken biryani is of half cooked rice but it give different taste and less spicy. chicken omelette is awesome. meals with fish curry(karaikuddi taste, so sour)
goli soda try it out it rare to get in restaurants.
overall food is really good.. check it out if you are looking some down south food.
price is too high, but worth a try for spicy lovers 😀

heard so much about this place, but when i went there i was a bit disappointed. i couldn’t taste their biriyani, as this was the reply i got - “we didn’t make it today”. so all that was left was the rice with different gravies. i was very happy with three - their famous nattukozhi gravy, the kaadai gravy and the mutton gravy. the crab gravy was good too. but the others were a disaster. and the mutton side dish we ordered was a bit too oily and it kinda ruined the taste as well. i don’t know maybe i went on a wrong day or something, but to me this place was a complete let down.

visited this place recently
we went with the great hype given by friend and zomato review but not as expected
ambience is normal and having concepts of old traditions dolls paintings it’s good
moving to food we orders mutton chukka meals chicken chettinad meals fish fry mutton brain fry
the rice was so big and in the middle rice was over we had to wait for rice, and we felt rice was big half cooked. moving to fish fry it was good, brain fry was ok mutton chukka was ok not great
with a great expectation went but disappointed dry fish gravy was not spicy it’s tasting sweeter
gravy what they provided also not up to mark
valet parking is available but a little cramped road
better to park vehicle little far and walk to hotel
not sure if it’s bad luck for us because we got very good review of the taste but we dint like it

food: 9.5/10

service: 9.0/10  
ambiance: 8.5/10  
value for money: 9.0/10

finally visited the pattukottai kamatchi mess for a weekend lunch in tnagar behind big bazaar in pondy bazaar. they have opened branches at velachery and omr too. 
highlight is the nativity being rekindled in our taste buds. the authentic tamil nadu cuisine served wholesome in banana leaf. 
meals served as per ur side dish liking with 7-9 gravies like chicken,mutton,fish,prawn,crab,nattu kozhi,kaadai... 
choose to try nattu kozhi meals... had 3-4 gravies of which crab peppered gravy was tantalizing ,fish gravy was seasoned and texture was yum. mutton was mild... 
sides first choice was mutton kolas: was crispy and divine to taste. everything was mixed in right proportions making it marvelous. fish fry was seer served good size. omlet served 2pieces in a plate was fresh.
desserts you can try the rocket golli soda was good. overall a must visit place for a meals foodie to try out the gravy varieties.

take away: 1 mutton biryani, it was cooked well and pieces were flavorful. i went there early afternoon, but had to wait for 50 minutes since they said the biryani is not yet ready, may be due to sunday.
i did enjoy my biryani, egg will not be present in this biryani. so don't expect it.
don't expect too much pieces, 4~5 pieces of appropriate size were there which i felt was good enough for my eating capability.
my recommendation would be to wait patiently if you are going here, because it takes time. else any weekday would be better, weekends i would not recommend either for dine in or take away, as it takes too much time and people might be annoyed.

authentic village style chettinad mess serving a full course meal with at least 10 gravies.
served in banana leaf.
difficult to get a seat. the best way to get an assured seat is to be at the mess at 12 noon sharp !
once you get a seat, then it’s a kings meal !
order non veg side dish of your choice.
all the dishes are made with home styled spices, because of which you don’t feel heavy even after a full meal.
fish, pepper chicken, egg karandi omelet and much more.
much affordable for the taste and quality they provide.

a very friendly restaurant which serves authentic home style food. this is my second time to this place, it's usually crowded and you might have to wait to get an seat. the restaurant is located in a small lane inside a house so you will miss it if you don't pay attention. the only issue i felt was i think they add soda to their rice so just by eating a small portion i kind off feel heavy.
