A nice quaint place with 2 levels of seating arrangement. You can either choose the more comfortable air-conditioning interior area or the more casual and relaxing open air rooftop area. The menu is varied but with crisp options which I liked.
The Cheesy Fries here are to die for. Along with that I also had the Cheese Stuffed Fried Olives and the Crispy American Corn for veg. The olives were well stuffed with cheese and was something different which I hadn't had before. The corn was decent, really crispy (as the name suggests) and nicely seasoned and spiced. For non-veg, I opted for the Prawns Jhumri and the Cheese Stuffed Chucked Roulade Kabad. My goodness, were they good. The prawns came in their shell, well grilled and butterflied out. And the chicken kababs just melted as soon as I put in my mouth, not to forget they were oozing with cheese. Really worth it.
Sarath was really helpful and polite and even treated us to a complimentary Tiramisu at the end. A perfect end to a great meal !!

Hosting private parties has become easier process as you just have to invite your guests and choose a right place from so many existing lounges and pubs . One of the best places to host such an event is Off the Record , Nungambakkam . This place is centrally located with good ambience , great food , excellent service , good DJ and pocket friendly pricing 😀. They have excellent and vast variety of salads and starters to choose from . Orange and melons with greens and grilled figs with arugula leaves salads are my favorites . Pita bread as well as classic hummus are the best . When its in buffet size of pita bread is small and hummus you can take as much as you want . But if you take as A LA carte the portion is very big , the same rich , creamy hummus starts tasting little boring . So it's better if hummus can be divided in two or three flavors as other restaurants do . Their spankopita - a kind of puff pastry stuffed with spinach , corn and cheese is a must have . The chef makes the best pita in town so all the dishes with pita bread are excellent . Pita stuffed with keema galouti kabab is also worth mentioning . In a buffet you can try almost all the dishes - veg , non- veg , salads , soups , starters, main course at same time . But disadvantage is half of the things get cold so may not taste the way actually they are . There are so many things to mention for like paneer tikka , Malai broccoli , chicken tikka , sushi etc. But I have selected and mentioned the ones which I could not forget at all and would like to have it again and again . Main course is again an elaborate affair with so many combos . Thai curry with steamed rice , Kadai paneer and malvani chicken with Malabar parotta ,pastas and pizzas are excellent . Pasta tastes good only when its hot and fresh and cooked in smaller portions . Because if pasta is kept for long , it becomes dry and bland and tasteless as the maida (refined flour ) absorbs all the moisture. When I had pasta it was too late , so 😀 . Dessert section was also excellent , tempting and inviting that with my first mocktail itself , before having any starter or salad I picked up one ( only one ) swiss roll 😀. White color , soft , spongy , creamy cake with mauve color garnish is to die for ......yummmmy . After my main course again I had only swiss roll . There was whole counter of my favorite desserts like tiramisu , chocolate fudge , peanut bar etc. etc . but after having the divine swiss rolls , I was so satisfied that I didn't try anything else . For making an event successful - ambience , food , service , music are must and Off the Record has it all . So don't wait to plan your party and go ahead with this decent , happening and rocking place 😀 .

A bunch of my friends planned to meet here for lunch. It was a sudden plan and we found the place too crowded , even then the manager managed to get a us a nice compact table. With foot tapping live music playing around , we ordered some dishes from ala Carte menu and everything tasted it’s best !! It’s a really nice place to chill but the prices of the dishes can be made a little lighter to our pockets.

Visited this place for the first time and the experience was really good. Ambience, good music, courteous staff, seating arrangements etc were the few things I liked about. Most importantly wanted to mention about this staff Mr.Vignesh who took care of us yesterday, he impressed me with his smile, patience and attitude towards serving us. Very well done Vignesh the loved the way you cared for us! 🙂 Keep it going and good luck to you Vignesh. A place to visit again for sure but it would be perfect if this place brings in more food options.

I recently visited this bar in Chennai and had a pleasant experience. The ambiance was lovely, and it provided a nice environment for a relaxing evening. However, I was hoping to hear some Tamil songs to truly immerse myself in the local culture. Despite that, I still enjoyed my time there and would recommend it for those seeking a comfortable place to unwind.”

It's quite rare to give 5 stars but OFF the record doesn't disappoint us. The place was filled with a vibe and you immediately get on with it. That's the atmosphere restobar should give and it did. The place is located on the 1st and rooftop with a pretty good view on the roof and a vibing place in the 1st floor. The DJ really did a great job with his music and the dark shades with vibrant lights near the bar was the stealer. Coming to the food, the taste was amazing and the quantity was decent but was on the pricier end compared to other places. The cocktails were good and as said earlier a bit on the costlier end. The place is a must visit for groups as you could have a wonderful time here having all the time to have fun. The place is a must visit and the service from Ayush was amazing as he didn't miss a thing that we ordered and was really there whenever required. Do check them out.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting OFF The RECORD and experiencing an unforgettable night of music and entertainment. The vibrant atmosphere, coupled with the energetic DJ, created an evening filled with excitement and enjoyment. The DJ at OFF The RECORD knew how to set the mood and keep the crowd engaged throughout the night. Their impressive selection of music catered to a variety of tastes, ensuring there was something for everyone on the dance floor. The transitions between songs were seamless, and the DJ's ability to read the crowd and adjust the tempo accordingly was commendable. The sound system at OFF The RECORD was top-notch, delivering crisp and clear beats that reverberated through the venue. The DJ's skills were further enhanced by the excellent audio setup, creating a dynamic experience that elevated the night's energy. One aspect that stood out was the DJ's ability to interact with the audience. They managed to strike a perfect balance between engaging with the crowd and allowing the music to take center stage. The DJ's infectious energy was contagious, and it was evident that they were genuinely enjoying their craft, which further added to the overall ambiance. Ny experience at OFF The RECORD was fantastic, thanks to the skilled and charismatic DJ. If you're looking for a lively night out with great music and a buzzing atmosphere, I highly recommend checking out this restro bar. Whether you're a music enthusiast or just want to dance the night away, OFF The RECORD and its DJ won't disappoint.

Loved their take on whiskey sour which is my usual go to :) The food was good and we faced no issue with service! The cheesecake was something I was really looking forward to but didn't hit the spot for me. We wanted to go for Tamil night but the drama these staff do to let us in is just ridiculous! Saying they are completely booked and are expecting way more they can accomodate 😑 I hate when places do this! We managed to get in after trying for long

The food was decent and the cocktails were well made. Service was a little slow, but waiters were polite and prompt when called. I liked the view of the sky when i was sitting down but the couches in the seating area tend to get very hot. Sit on the side of the table nearer to the statue for a nice breeze.

Truly off the record restro bar. The ambience was exceptional. The portraits on the walls were unique. Best seating, innovative washrooms, a private place for smoking also available. I didn't try any liquor but went with a mocktail 😝. The liquor menu was so innovative that they named it after the underworld dons like Pablo Escobar and Dawood. Coming to the taste of the food it was good, we ordered a cheese mushroom bao and chicken kebab and a Korean J-hope. Much recommended restaurant for alcoholics. I would definitely say this is one of the most happening places on the weekends. The restaurant has a small music venue with a mic, I hope they allow you to sing😅 and dance!

Went with an open mind. Got in by 815 or so. Place was not full. So we got seating in the main area. The DJ kept the place filled with punchy numbers right through the evening & even added a touch of retro. The snacks we ordered especially veg were good. All in all a good experience.
