The Pasta Bar Veneto, Anna Nagar

This was actually a follow-up visit after my previous experience here (link directs to my Zomato review), which was very poor. This time though it was considerably better than last time. The food was served in a decent amount of time(The service was still slower than most other places I’ve been to, but compared to my last visit, it was much better this time)
The food was, as usual, great. Overall, it was a pleasant experience. Will keep visiting this place to see if the speed of service improves(there is still room for some improvement, but no complaints this time as it was not too slow)

Ratings :
Cost : 3.5 / 5
Ambience : 3.5 / 5
Quality, taste : 4 / 5
Service : 3.5 / 5
Overall : 3.5 / 5

Food and Fun at Absolute Barbecues (AB's), Velachery

AB’s opens shop in Velachery Absolute Barbecues, fondly known as AB’s opened at T – Nagar couple of years back with a big bang. 2 years on, they’re still consistent with their top notch service and the ratings in Zomato are proof to that. To make AB’s more accessible to the bustling IT crowd, AB’s recently opened an outlet in Velachery. It’s located quite close to OMR, the IT nerve center of the city, bang opposite Taramani TCS. I was pleasantly surprised when I got an invite for a weekend dinner at AB’s and was happy to learn a bunch of my foodie buddies will be present as well. Naturally, I accepted it and started looking forward to the fun evening. Starting off the grill Their starters are the key to AB’s success and I was glad to see the same quality being offered here. We started off with drinks, and I particularly liked  Chennai Summers , a blend of Yogurt, Strawberry, and Coconut set a pleasant tone on the palate. Starting off with succulent Paneer Tikkas ,  Grilled Mushrooms, F

Chili's, Royapettah

Image
Chili’s comes to Chennai Following the trend of popular International restaurants chains opening up shop in the busy city of Chennai, Chili’s,a Tex Mex chain of restaurants recently opened their doors in Express Avenue, Royapettah. While Chili’s is not new to India, I guess this could very well be the first or one of the few Chili’s in the world that doesn’t serve Alcohol. Yes, the curse of No-Alcohol that Chennai places on every restaurant has affected Chili’s too. When I was first contacted by a friend of mine for a tasting session here, I wasn’t very sure. But on reading more about them, I was completely enamored and wanted to try them out. The review day came, and I duly caught an Uber and reached here by 1.02 PM for my 1.00 PM appointment (I know I’m getting too close to being punctual these days, oh the horror !) After a round of pleasantries with the polite staff and managers alike, Sooraj, our friendly PR who arranged the meet took a seat with us to take us through the Chili’s

MC's Lunchbox, Porur

Image
Update : Got a call from the MC’s Lunchbox team, assuring me that they’ll be taking corrective action on this issue and will keep training sessions for their delivery folks (who, it appears, are outsourced) to ensure this doesn’t happen. Keeping this in mind, updating my rating to reflect more on the food and less on the delivery. Food: 3.5/5 Delivery: 2.5/5 (For now). Personal opinion: Considering the efforts the team has taken to go through the feedback in detail, take corrective measures, and keep the customers informed about it, I’m more than willing to try MC’s Lunchbox again. ==================================================================== Tried out MC’s Lunchbox for dinner delivery last week, for 3 days. Chose the delivery time as 9 PM – 10 PM, as that’s when I’d like to have my dinner (and also because I work on the night shift). Food: The rotis are good, the gravies are passable. VFM for the price paid (incl. delivery) Delivery: Total fiasco. Day 1: Delivery was made at 8
