Taste of Chennai

surprisingly delicious food 😋 warm & friendly service 🙂

The food was stunning. Some of the best South Indian food I have had. The Dahi Puri was incredible, each mouthful was packed with flavour. The Paneer Masala Dosa was also delicious, perfectly crispy with great sides. The owner was super friendly and helpful. Thanks so much for the incredible lunch!

Awesome place to chill out. No judgments on customers and food were really good, just like home. When we ordered tea and it was missing sugar the server was not only apologetic but instantly bought some sugar packs for me. Really great Dosa and sprout Idly if you wanna visit an Original Chennai taste do give them a chance.

Hole in the wall southern indian place off plenty road. Ordered the Masala Dosa, and Chai tea. The dosa was flavourful, nicely cooked with the crispy edges. Chai tea was brewed hot (nearly burnt my mouth) but definitely tasty with all the spices. Worth a visit!

Taste of Chennai in Melbourne offers an amazing experience. Their dishes pack a powerful punch of heat. From mild to extra spicy, each dish is carefully crafted to balance flavours and intensity. Prepare for a thrilling and fiery adventure for your taste buds! Highly recommend. Budget friendly restaurant mainly for the students who want to go there for lunch and dinner it’s a pocket friendly and it can save you a money.
Thank you 😊
See you again keep going ✌️

Ordered the charminar dosa, rava dosa, and Chennai masala chai. The dosas were crispy and delicious, the chutneys are clearly freshly home made, and the sambar is amazing. The chai was one of the best I've had - was so tempted to order a second one!

The owner/chef came over to ask how our food was, which as a dosa lover and fan of South Indian food more generally, turned into a lovely long conversation about food. When I mentioned I love rasam, but can't find it anywhere, he offered to make me some fresh on the spot, at no charge, despite it not being on the menu.

And that was amazingly delicious too. Can't wait to return.

A solid South Indian place. Seating can be annoying as their tables are set up for groups of 4 but when I went there I had to resort to takeaway as all the table were table by groups of two or less. Something to be aware of.
As for the food the chicken biryani was amazing but the chicken pieces in there were disappointing as I only got one really really tiny leg piece and another small breast piece. But I would still order this again given how tasty it was
The chicken 65 while flavourful was a little over cooked and thus dry given that they are breast pieces. I had this with the biryani and it well really well together
As for the noodles that was just delicious and I wish I could have had it fresh and not in a takeaway container. The chicken fried rice was the low. Similar flavour to the noodle , but felt a little heavy on the veggies which didn’t let me enjoy the texture of the rice as much. Worth visiting if your passing by or local.

As we ordered mutton biriyani and chicken biriyani and mango lassi

As mutton biriyani is superb and the rice is well cooked

And chicken biriyani is little bit dry as the taste is bit less

Mango lassi is taste good

As the the food items are overpriced and you will not be satisfied with the quantity.

But you will get disappointed on service after the order placed you need wait 30 min minimum to get the food.

As they improve in customer service but the food is so delicious.
