Annalakshmi Restaurant

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).

Wow!! Totally surprised. Beautiful decor and ambience. Whole place smelled so good (either incense or some room fragrance). Staff were so polite and friendly. Service was top notch. Food was good. It wasnt extraordinary. If you opt for the unlimited thali, skip on the appetizers as you can fill yourselves up and wont have room for the main course. Will definitely come back. Whole family enjoyed the experience.

Excellent service. Taste was really top notch. All items are good. But the quantity n variety is too heavy for a fixed menu. Because on weekends there is no ala carte menu. So for kids n old people it is too heavy. They can avoid using plastic water bottles. Can have a few more waiting chairs at reception. Car parking the assistance has to be a bit more quick. Overall a nice experience but not affordable for a middle class audience.

While the ambiance and aesthetics of the restaurant are truly impressive — I’d easily give them a full 100 points for that — the dining experience overall was quite disappointing. None of the dishes we ordered met expectations. The veggie soup was essentially just water with vegetables, lacking any real flavor. Both the dal tadka and the kadai vegetable curry were unnecessarily heavy with cream, which made the experience quite amusing in a way. All the fried items — baby corn, paneer, and vendakkai — came in seriously stingy portions, especially considering the premium pricing. Seriously never seen a fine dining restaurant servicing starter with ketchup. On a positive note, the serving staff and waiters did an okay job explaining the specials and assisting where needed, although they didn’t really make an effort when it came to actually serving the food. Overall, despite the beautiful setting, I wouldn't return for the food.

They have once of the greatest ambiance in the chennai city. The food is very pricey thou and the thali has all regular south/North Indian dishes (nothing too fancy). They also don’t allow sharing thali, if you are 5 people then you need to pay for 5 Thalis

Went for lunch, on a weekend. Was able to get car parking, though valet was available. Good Veg Food, if you want to really enjoy, go with really empty and very hungry stomach. Ask the complete menu, so that you can avoid un-liked and enjoy what you like. I did that and cherished the food. Most of items from starters to desserts, dominance of South Indian varieties are there, But selection from North Indian and western part too were perfect.

Been to this restaurant recently. Had a great scrumptious lunch and was really satisfied. The staff service is also good. Even though the price is expensive, it's still worth it.

Went with my family for Mahalakshmi Preethi Bojanam Awesome is too small a word to describe the classy ambience, amazing service and the out of this world taste They will ply you will all starters , each out doing the previous one All the family members enjoyed the food thoroughly
