Annalakshmi Restaurant

One of the best vegetarian restaurants I’ve ever visited! 🌿 The authentic South Indian flavours were simply amazing — every dish, from the soup to the main course, was bursting with taste and freshness. The food truly captured the essence of South Indian cuisine. The ambiance was pleasant, and the service was top-notch, making the entire dining experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone who loves authentic vegetarian food with great hospitality!

Definitely worth checking out once for sure! Great place to have great vegetarian food (mostly south Indian cuisine with some touches of other regional flavours from pan-India) at a beautifully decorated place with solid logistics and good conversational atmosphere. If you're a large group (more than 20 ppl) it gets to be a bit complex to execute all details successfully. The plus points: Superb ambience Beautiful welcome and waiting area Clean fast spaciou lifts Solid parking logistics with attentive staff Welcome doorman who has good handling skills at main door to first floor fine dining restaurant area Food taste was really good, quite a lavish menu with of variety to see. Starters were vadam (fried rice crackers), kaju kesar katli (sweet), crispy corn, then oraange juice. After this rasam-vada arrived as appetiser. 😋 yum. Then a primary plate with Kulcha paneer gravy sabji and 3-4 more vegetable raita type items arranged on one pretty plate. Then variety rices came fast.. a bit fast for my liking haha (will explain later). Their excessive rushed speed of food service at this stage (variery rice) was a little opposite of what one thinks is "fine dining". But this is one of those localized Indian meanings. I think they mean -- tasty food served in fine silver plate, vessels, etc and in beautiful ambience. However panthi-style fast delivery is a challenge for people over 45, in my humble opinion. Now back to some important things. Desserts were quite good, Payasam, Gulab Jamun and Butterscotch ice cream (this flavor may vary). They should serve gulabjamun and ice cream at same time , wasn't that way for us, but not a huge deal. Is the menu available to the diners at the table in print or QR. -- No. Does food need to be served at such rapid speed? No. Was excellent wheelchair friendly logistics there - YES. Were noise levels just right-- YES YES Food taste -- YES 😋 Quantity - Perfect. Minor issues: Our reservation was at 130 and most of our group (19 out of 24)had all arrived by 135. We were not seated till 150pm. Providing a welcome lemonade in waiting area will vastly enhance the experience imo. They were very kind to ask about onion/garlic preferences (Jain styl/Asaaram food) so that was sweet of them and 4 of our party appreciated that 👏 Value proposition wise...I am able to clock this experience at more than 4☆ overall. I might have to try it in a smaller group to see how it goes!

Beautiful ambience and excellent and tasty regular menu . Some more traditional and unseen varieties could have been added to enhance the truly deserving menu. Very well presented . Everyone came out with a satisfied expression on the face. Excellent! Three lifts are available. Toilets are extremely neat and clean.

Excellent ambiance and a refined fine-dining experience. The buffet offered a diverse selection of well-prepared dishes, and the service was consistently attentive, ensuring timely food delivery and guest comfort. Jain-friendly options are also available. As the restaurant is often busy, advance reservations are recommended. Overall, a highly satisfying experience and worth returning to.

Firstly the restaurant is completely based on the temple theme no doubt at all top notch interior design , ambience just feels like your inside the temple one of the best veg authentic South Indian restaurant in Chennai we have ordered 2 thali called Preethi Bhojan which cost 1550 (excluding tax) per person, it feels like food possession it keep on coming till your tummy filled up, food's where about absolutely delicious.

One of the best places to have good south indian food in Chennai . Very neat and delicious food served hot and fresh with good ambience and wonderful service . No restaurant is even comparable to this place. Must visit if you love vegetarian food

I would define this as a vegeterian paradise, where every rupee is worth it. We came with high expectations and these were even exceeded! We went for the Mahalakshmi menu, a series of starters, soups, Indian breads and rices, all along with their side dishes. Just to mention the top ones: dahi puri, palak and pees, curd base with ladyfingers, creamy paneer… To conclude a good payasam and paan. The menu is expensive considering average meals for Indian standard, however we would happily pay for it again. Quantity was even excessive and we were offered the opportunity to repeat our favorite dishes. The staff was very attentive and polite. At some points I would say the service was too fast but good overall. The ambience is a little bit old fashioned but comfortable, even though the music was too loud. Overall it is a very recommendable experience, specially for those willing to discover authentic Indian dishes in a safe and tranquil environment (tourist friendly).

Fine dining experience...only vegetarian menu...the ambience is very good true temple vibe...we ordered their thali of 1500 lot of dishes wer served but no starters which I missed the most for the budget, but their dosa, fried rice, semiya and dessert kheer,jamoon and icecream was very good..
