This is a really good Indian restaurant. I love the variety of menu items they have to offer. I especially love mango lassis and gulab jamun, which is soaked in syrup.

I really love this restaurant. They serve delicious and authentic South Indian food cooked in traditional clarified butter. The portion sizes are generous and the food is served piping hot. I highly recommend trying the combination of paratha and Chettinad chicken - it's amazing. And don't forget to try the dosa cooked in desi ghee.

This was the best dining experience we have had in a long time. The menu had a nice variety of options. The service was excellent. The American Pork Spare Ribs were delicious. The atmosphere was fantastic. The beautiful plates and dishes enhanced the overall experience.

A great place to get authentic South Indian food in Adelaide. Would highly recommend this place especially for their chicken varuval which is an authnetic tamil nadu style curry.  Keep up the good work, Cafe Chennai! Will be back soon.

I am a great fan of this restaurant for a very long time. When they were in their old location, I used to go only for their food. Now, there is so much more. really love the cozy ambiance. There is a character to it. The food is consistently good. but one time it was just ok but being there for a long time now, I was open to understand that sometimes mistakes do happen I was not disappointed the next time (last time when I took a few of my vegan/veggo friends there. Everyone loved the dosas and my fav there is always the masala dosa. I would love to see some new dishes in the menu because its been almost 4 years I am a regular there and would love to try something new : . Overall the best !!!
