I have been to this hotel several times. I have always been satisfied with the service and taste. I visited the restaurant recently and thought it was high time I added a post.
This restaurant is my personal favorite for veggie food (I have lived on Chennai hotel food for 6 years, so that's quiet a statement).
The good things about this restaurant are:
1. They have a courteous staff.
2. The food quality is good and the you can feel a difference in the quality of ingredients.
3. They have variety in their menu (Chinese, north-Indian, south-Indian and yummy desserts).
4. The quantity is also more than sufficient, and they are ever ready to pack the leftovers for you.
5. The price is reasonable. It is a bit high, but considering what you get for your money's worth I would always choose this restaurant over any other high priced or low priced veg restaurant.
On one of my visits the a/c was not working. I just sent an sms to the cellphone number displayed for complaints, and guess what? the manager responded immediately. He came to my seat an explained the situation (an electrical glitch).
On the minus side, the place is always crowded. So plan ahead to wait for your table. Sometimes a four seat table may have to be shared with other guests if you go as a couple.
Overall, a good restaurant.

If you are a veggie and u miss chettinad food, which generally consists of a lota meat, forget karaikudi! there is sangeetha adyar with veg chettinad tiffun items, made classically and served unconventionally. The place is always crowded so be ready to wait for sometime, nothing good comes for free, does it? and one more thing is chettinad items are available only ater 4 30 as those are snack items. So as such the place is good for dinner than lunch, since they also have some specials for each day.
The most mouth-watering dishes here are paniyaram (salt) and the cauliflower masal dosa (the best i've ever had). There is also palpaniyaram sometimes and chettinad idli is great too. The unavailability of certain items everyday creates the whole craving i guess. I dono why, maybe they are holding supply to increase demand. But i think the demand is great already and i hope they serve everything everyday.
The ambiance is typical of any sangeetha, actually its much more sophisticated than any other sangeetha in chennai. Other than the chettinad items, the usual pulao, chenna batura, ghee dosa, quick lunch, poori, you name it and its yummmmmmmy. There is an unbelievable list of desserts from icecreams to sundaes to juices to what not!
The service is quick and efficient. The price, is just right for the quality, i mean you can taste the quality literally!
