great food! we went here at 5 pm after a heavy lunch, craving momos. but ended up having the main course as well. yummy starters and curries; super spicy goodness; great service; and the ambience is simple and neat. we were served fresh watermelon after our meal, which was very thoughtful of them. also, if you have special requests to suit your taste (spice levels, etc.), i'm sure they they oblige.
whenever i visit chennai, the north east kitchen is going to be on my to-go list.
