" Coming to Taste of Chennai has always been a treat for me! Their dosas are crispy, and the coconut chutney is truly authentic, which pairs perfectly with every dish. I appreciated that the staff was attentive, making sure we were satisfied throughout our meal. Although the decor could use a little sprucing up, the cozy atmosphere more than makes up for it. This is the place to be for real South Indian cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot say enough good things about Taste of Chennai! My recent visit was one for the books. The variety of dishes offered is impressive, and the ones I tried, including the kothu parotta and spicy shrimp, were exceptional. It's clear that each dish is prepared with genuine love and fresh ingredients. On the downside, the service was a bit slow during peak hours, but it was worth the wait. The ambiance was warm and inviting, perfect for family meals or special gatherings. I eagerly anticipate back soon for more! " (*Curated Review*)

Looking forward to my next meal here! " (*Curated Review*)

" Taste of Chennai has become my go-to place for Indian food! The flavors are rich and authentic, making every dining experience so memorable. I particularly enjoy their fish curry and garlic naan, which are simply delicious. The service is attentive, though it can get a little busy.

" I finally tried Taste of Chennai after hearing all the buzz around it, and wow, did it live up to the hype! The Mamsam Roast was phenomenal—so juicy and flavorful! It's evident that they focus on authenticity, from the spices to the cooking techniques. The only hiccup during my visit was finding parking, which can be tricky, but don't let that deter you. The inside is cozy, and the staff is genuinely caring. A must-try for anyone who loves Indian food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Taste of Chennai is genuinely one of the best. Every dish I've ever had here tastes authentic and delicious, particularly the biryani and tandoori dishes. The service is excellent; everyone is very polite and attentive. However, it gets a bit loud during busy hours, which could be improved. Nonetheless, it reflects the restaurant's popularity! I'll definitely return to this hidden gem. " (*Curated Review*)

" Taste of Chennai is undoubtedly a gem in Hicksville! I came here last month, and everything from the ambiance to the food resonated with authenticity. The dosa was crispy and had the right texture, and the sambhar was perfect in flavor. The only downside was finding parking, but that was quickly forgotten the moment I sat down to relish my meal. The staff is attentive and friendly, making the dining experience quite enjoyable. Can’t wait for my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)
