Ordered Mutton Kari dosai and Mutton kothu parotta. Kari dosa was too good with lot of mutton pieces.Worth for the price.Mutton kothu was also good but too oily.
Overall it was a good choice.
very tasty food we like it
This is my first order.Timely delivered super
If the name of the dish is written it would help us identify it especially when multiple dishes are ordered.
before time... Gud to have u team..
One of the oldest restaurants, Chennai can boast of, specialising in chettinad cuisine.
It struggles among all the new comers to retain its place and has fairly succeeded in doing so.
Ambience is simple and clean. Quick and polite service.
Meals, ponnusamy chicken and fish fry were heavenly. Their non veg meals is an all time hit with 3 gravies and rasam.
Try chettinad cuisine predominantly as it’s their speciality.
This is like my next kitchen since this outlet is just next to my home. So at least a pocket of rasam will be brought as take away once in 3 days.
It is just opposite to vadapalani bus depot in the first floor of Rahat plaza. The ambiance is so good and well maintained.
The service is also prompt.
My favorite is their Rasam which works very well with rice. I say their top dish is their Rasam. Another speciality is in the night 🌃 we can get non veg meals. So anybody would like to have full meal for the dinner it is the right choice.
They are so good in their chettinad dishes. Only problem I faced is the fish finger I ll not get the same consistent taste.
My last order with them was 1 non veg meals, chicken biryani, mutton biriyani, crab 🦀 lollipop, fish finger, ponnusamy spl chicken dry, nethili fry, egg Brain fry.
It was all superb and enjoyed the lunch.
Overall it's good choice for Non veg lovers.
One of the best authentic south indian non veg restaurants in my list. Anytime I would say ponnusamy has the best technique to attract our taste buds, be it biryani, meals, Chuka, chops, brain fry or even Chinese this is one of the best. Now they have started grills aswell, still need time to try those. Even they have improved the ambience but the service is bit lagging.
This place is suitable for those who prefer chettinad over mugalai. Talking about the dishes, the biriyani is absolutely chettinad styled. It has it's own uniqueness. The side's that is kept for biriyani (i.e) chettinad style gravy is absolutely amazing. And some of the must tries are The American chopsey,ponnuswamy chicken and the bbq. And talking about the ambience, i would give 4 of 5.Suitable for mainly family dining. Overall i would give a 3.5 cause of the unavailability of varieties in dishes.
This place is like heaven if you want some fresh and flavourful veg and non veg south Indian food. I ate their meal along with some shark , korma , mutton , fried fish , daal , Rassam and Sambar. All was just the right taste and the right portion size . No wastage here is tolerated. The servers are really hospitable and check on you regularly. I loved the dessert pyassam too. This is a must for anyone who wants to experience authentic tamil and chettinnad cuisine. Another good thing is that the food in never too oily and doesn't leave you queasy. Don't forget to eat the PAAN in the end to sign off your gourmet experience.
Try crab masala! That's the best dish I guess!
Rest is all ok, Normal chettinad standards. Their meals is also worth repeat order!
After a long time I visited Raahat plaza Ponnusamy on a saturday evening, with my wife, expecting heavy crowd. But the place was totally empty. I was a little nervous to be in that place as the area was huge and we were the only customers there. All the restaurant staff were chatting and occasionally glancing our table.
I kept telling my wife how this place was bustling with people and how difficult it is to get a table. I kept the order simple and got it in my table quick and hot. They have grill and Barbeque, but the machine was not on, so i didnt order fearing stale food.
Taste : 3.5/5 ; Ambiance : 3/5 ; Service : 3/5 ; VFM : 3.5/5
Ponnusamy Hotel located inside Raahat Plaza is the first outlet of theirs that I visitee almost some 15 yrs back...we end up in ponnusamy everytime we visit the plaza..but recently visited them after a very long time..The restaurant is located on the first floor of the Plaza...
The Restaurant is very similar to as it was before...but is pretty well maintained and clean..the place was perfectly cooled and could seat around 50+ ppl...
The service was too damn slow..they were kind and courteous..took the order well too..but the server who was attending me was very slow in everything...
Ordered an Non Veg meals...I used to love them when I was young...I must admit that the taste hasn changed much..except for the sides like poriyal and kootu...the kolambu still tastes the same...yummy...
Pricing is definitely high now..but the food is worth it...
A typical chettinadu restaurant which was on my wish list. so had been there with DH on one fine day. Ambiance was okayish. As it was a week day, only handful people were there. Nothing much about the ambiance, average kind. We ordered for non-veg meals, nethili fry, and grill chicken after a long confusion between grill chicken and sura puttu. Coming to meals, everything they served is good. Chicken gravy and fish gravy were must mention. Nethili fry was good. Disaster of the day was the grill chicken, without having any taste in that. As we took the issue to the staff, they were courteous enough to replace it. Service was good. Overall, the meals is worth for the price. YUMMY!!!!. Had a good experience.
A typical chettinad restaurant. Chettinad food lovers will love this. The biriyani and the Egg Kothu Parotta are excellent here. Been here more than 100 times. So many good memories in this restaurant. A must visit for all Biriyani lovers.
If u want to have the home type non veg food u can head here. They serve good Biriyani and the non veg meals is really good. Brain roast and chicken 65 are my favourite. Good day!:)
The ambience and service was good, we had biryani, BBQ chicken, finger fish. Biryani tasted ok, chicken and fish was great. The hotel is located inside 'Rahat Plaza' which looks cramped and uninviting.
Ponnusamy hotel is a typical tamil cuisine non veg restaurant.All the items taste good.The biryani has a unique taste.Earlier the interiors was conjusted.But now they have altered the interiors which is very spacious and decent.Still the AC is always low and therefore it is very suffocating.The quantity of all the items are less.The price is moderate.
I have been with my family to Ponnusamy Hotel vadapalani y'day for dinner after 8months. Surprised with the ambience what a change it was good, lot of improvement in the quality and service. Ordered meals with Crab masala, mutton sukka, chicken pepper fry and chicken65. It was good. Enjoyed.
Ordered a takeaway after 5 years, and it still had the great taste. Especially items like Paya, Idiyappam, and Crab Masala were my favorites. Highly recommended.

This restaurant has been around for ages. Tucked away inside a shopping complex of sorts - If you're a fan of old Tamil movies you'll notice this location being filmed in a lot of them. Inside the restaurant the old world charm is fading. The patches, cracks and stains in the interiors all scream of the need for a renovation.
As we entered, shameless as I am to accept, I saw a plate of lollipop chicken on one of the tables. It looked delicious and inviting. This being a Chettinad restaurant my friends were a little hesitant, it took a little convincing but finally I made them agree and we ordered a plate. The lollipop chicken was juicy sweet just as its meant to be and could put some of the specialty Chinese restaurants to shame. For the mains we ordered Chicken Biryanis and eggs half-boiled. The Biryani was one of the best Chettinad Biryani I've had in recent times. The first thing you notice with the Biryani is the quantity. Almost twice the quantity of the other restaurants that have opened up recently. The flavorful rice of the Biryani with that spicy chicken curry and the onion raitha to balance it all off - happiness with every mouthful! The Eggs half-boiled-not much can go wrong here, got what I expected.
The service was prompt and satisfactory. A meal here should set you back by approx. 200-300 per head. That is pretty reasonable especially considering the quantity of portions served.
Just hope they renovate and work on the ambiance, that will probably get the crowds back here and me with a 5 star rating this time!
i like the meals with nethli fry
Non veg meals , it's meant for 2 . Though u need to add a non veg dish along as only the gravy is served in the meals no pieces .
Good ambient restaurant. Non- veg chittinaud type. Biriyani, Tandoori, Grills, Full-meals, ice cream, Faluda etc are available. Has separate 'take away' counter. Wash room is clean. Staff behaviour is good. High-rise chairs for children provided.
The food is good.. And they seemed to be a little costly.. They have a good menu card but they didn't mention that they put quarter plate price in it. And since we ordered full plate without even letting us know they put soo much of price by them self.. Other than that ambience is good. 8 out of 10 could be given.. Banana leafs are served for food... Food quantity is less tough..
Good place for family dining & menus are different to eat.
Very near from Vadapalani bus depot.
Service was nice.
Rates were moderate.
Aesthetic environment.
Great taste and quality of food.
Cards and coupons accepted.
We went there without any expectations for a quick lunch, but it turned out to be an excellent stomach fulfilling experience. The Ponnusamy chicken is excellent which is rich in cashew and mutton sukka was just mouth watering.
A must try if you visiting anywhere near Vadapalani. The ambience is modern and the staffs were good.
All in all a good restaurant..
Take a meal or briyani after a shopping or show in forum mall.so good as compared to the shops located in food court.Location it has been is so strange.but the ambience they maintaining is good actually.price is also reasonable for the quality and the ambience they providing. Mutton dishes sounds better and good
services is better.briyani and meals are tastes as like our home with spices. With a nice background music.simply good ,enjoyed it !!!
This is like my next kitchen since this outlet is just next to my home. So at least a pocket of rasam will be brought as take away once in 3 days.
It is just opposite to vadapalani bus depot in the first floor of Rahat plaza. The ambiance is so good and well maintained.

My favorite is their Rasam which works very well with rice. I say their top dish is their Rasam. Another speciality is in the night 🌃 we can get non veg meals. So anybody would like to have full meal for the dinner it is the right choice.
They are so good in their chettinad dishes. Only problem I faced is the fish finger I ll not get the same consistent taste.
My last order with them was 1 non veg meals, chicken biryani, mutton biriyani, crab 🦀 lollipop, fish finger, ponnusamy spl chicken dry, nethili fry, egg Brain fry.
It was all superb and enjoyed the lunch.
Overall it's good choice for Non veg lovers.
Nice place and good food. Had a good time eating here. Since it is a Diwali day there was no rush and the restaurant was free. Also the restrooms are clean and neat. Affordable food at the area.
This area is best for foodies, with Vasantha Bhavan, pandiyas, Saravana Bhavan and more. But Nothing can beat Ponnusamy's quality and taste. The chicken Biryani,Kadai Biryani are really great. Im missing those days and the place.
Their Sea food items are also very fresh. Its not spicy at all, Still if you are from north, you can ask them it make it very mild.
