" Slightly disappointed with my visit. The restaurant was crowded when we arrived, and it took a while to get seated. The idly I had was not fresh—was definitely not up to my expectations. The decor is charming, however, and I saw several dishes served to other tables that looked delicious. Perhaps I just picked the wrong items for my first visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" What an incredible dining experience! Every dish we ordered was a hit. The Chicken Kothu was perfectly spicy and their parotta was something I could eat all day. The staff was very helpful and guided us on the best dishes to try. Highly recommend this place if you want authentic South Indian food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved dining at Rani Chettinad! The atmosphere was warm and inviting. I tried the Chicken Chettinad and it was bursting with flavor—definitely does not hold back on the spices. The staff was friendly and attentive. I will be coming back for more soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a mixed experience at Rani Chettinad. While the service was polite, it was a little slow during peak hours. I ordered the chicken tikka masala, which was good—though maybe a little sweeter than I prefer. The ambience puts you in the mood for South Indian cuisine, making it a fun spot to enjoy with friends. Overall, I’d say it’s a decent place to try during a food adventure. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't get enough of Rani Chettinad! Craving their Chicken 65 biryani lately. The food is consistently delicious. I went there recently with my family and everyone loved their meals, especially the Kerala beef stir-fry. The staff is always so friendly, which adds to the welcoming vibe. Strongly recommend this gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" Rani Chettinad is the best when it comes to South Indian cuisine! Truly authentic flavors—I just loved the pepper chicken. It was spicy and packed with flavor, emerging as a standout in my experience. Staff was attentive and made me feel at home. The atmosphere was lively but comfortable. Will be definitely returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" The ambiance at Rani Chettinad is charming! I had their lamb curry, which was hearty and aromatic. However, the service could use a bit of work because there was a delay in getting my order just right. I still enjoyed my meal overall—it’s definitely worth a visit if you like Indian food!
