About
An ancient door with quaint brass knobs is reminiscent of the old Chennai. The old vintage decor with bright lights and elephant motifs definitely adds to the charm.
The beautiful artwork and one of a kind floor tiles lend a sense of colloquial Chennai to the compact space. Using sunset orange, mint green and yellow, the colour theme of the restaurant remains true to the southern city while providing a refreshing change from its contemporaries.
Review
A quintessential South Indian joint, Madras Diaries prides itself on being a vegetarian restaurant that offers more than the generic options. A 27 page menu gives one an array of delicious gourmet options that will remind one of home. The food blends the traditional with the modern really well is undoubtedly a haven for southern specialities. With carnatic music gently playing in the background, this space is South Indian’s dream.
