Crimson Chakra

It was out 1st visit to this restaurant to celebrate mine and my fathers birthday. Location is near kalyan jewellers and on the 1st floor of Samsung showroom opposite to adyar old bus stand. No temperature check was taken. Sanitizer was there but we opted for washing hands. More better. It was sigree before and after lockdown, they are running it as barbecue world. I didn't asked about the ownership. No lifts/elevator I saw to reach the restaurant and you have to take the steps. Elders might find it difficult. Ambience was ok. Initial music was kind of irritating but you will forget once when you start eating. It was totally empty on saturday evening with just 3 tables occupied. We booked for 7.30 pm slot. 6 of us. They got both buffet and a la carte. Buffet price is 699 all inclusive for both lunch and dinner and for veg and non-veg. In booking websites you can get it for cheaper rates. When we went the buffet was not filled up with items like in other restaurants. It was empty. Video attached. All the starters and soup was served on the table. Initially even after telling them repeatedly the veg and non veg count, they brought the opposite way. Later it was ok. Attention to detail is bit lacking. We are served by Siddarth & Dinesh. Vegetarians given plates with green border. Water you got 2 options. Bottles placed on the table is 6 rupees each. 250 ml. Or regular tap water. Soup was wonderful. Also the starters. It was a mix of Indian and chinese preparations. Some of the starters are more sweeter specially crispy vegs. Sadly there was no paneer/mushroom/corn based starter. Menu changes everyday. As of non veg chicken, fish and prawns was the option. All are excellent except the chicken leg piece which was slightly under cooked. Starters are unlimited and after the 1st serving repeat was asked. We completely forget about the welcome drink and asked for it in the middle of service. They got their ice machine not working and hence stopped welcome drink yesterday. But it could be told to us before. Still they made for us. Thank you. Kiwi or strawberry flavour drink. Toilets were ok. But no seperate urinals for mens. It just a wc inside. Initially when I wanted to use it, it was so unclean but later I realized the previous person didn't flush after use. Such a unhygienic man. Hand soap is provided. Lemon scent. Coming to the main course, all the items are decent and generally they don't need much refill bcoz of 2 reasons. No crowd and a la carte option. We really enjoyed the dal makhni. It was so excellent. Other items including noodles, curd rice, veg gravies all excellent. Chicken biryani was with too much spices. Naan/roti is on request and served on table. It's also excellent. No live counters. As of desserts, they got limited option. No bakery unit inside so items like brownie, cakes won't be there. Ice cream yes. Only 2 flavours. Vanilla and strawberry. Out of their 5 desserts, mango pudding, jalebi and the cream tartlets, all these 3 are not good. Gulab jamun, semiya payasam was excellent. There is no parking available for this restaurant or may be some where. We didn't asked. We just parked our car in the near by street. For bike you can use the front part. What I noticed with those servers are a kind of surprise when you ask for repeat of items at certain times and also when told we used 10 of the water bottles, he got surprised asking 10 bottles? Apart from that everything was excellent. They all are very polite. They accept meal coupons from various websites/apps. We got nearbuy coupons. Reservation when I spoke them, I felt it is necessary like in all restaurant and that too for saturday night. But personally after witnessing the crowd, I feel reservation is not required. Also it's better to go after 8 pm to get all the food in buffet. Overall a very very simple restaurant with no flashy or fancy stuffs like others. Worth the money we paid for. There are some details which are lagging but it can be corrected.

Loved the food and the ambience. The staff was very courteous and attentive. If you are a north indian like me in Chennai and are craving chinese or north indian food, do visit this place. Oh and they also gave us yummy gulab jamuns on the house 😍🥰

Good food and ambience was nice!!👌 Buffet menu was good. Starters served at table! If you are looking for a different type of buffet, then this place is good!😊

Ambience was good. Mocktails were yummy. Food tasted good. Dessert (Sizzling Brownie with Ice Cream) could have been better.
