The signature draw is mutton Masala, a dark-braised dish built on roasted spices and slow-cooked meat that sets Chettinad apart from the coconut-milk gravies dominating Tamil restaurants elsewhere in the city. The menu rounds out with Parathas, vegetable thalis seafood combos that anchor the regional identity, this is not the Dosa-and-Sambar shorthand a specific culinary geography. The mutton Masala is the kitchen's calling card, a marker of Chettinad technique that demands a full order and rice to properly absorb the spice. · No website yet.
