The overall experience was great!
We went in the evening just before our 10.30pm movie for dinner here.
Not revealing much here but it was a completely different/unique experience.

Shivashankari Mam was kind throughout and allowed me to give her a hug!

That was just amazing. It was a sudden plan. We (Me and brother) went around 8 pm there, the reception team was cool and they explained the rules to be followed. We were taken inside by Ms. Janaki and the experience was surprising. Shaking bridge, water fall... we could visualise everything. The sense of touch, smell and taste. Later we were supported by Ms. Shiva Shankari, who explained more on its concepts. Both of them were too friendly, we could not feel that they are strangers to us. An amazing experience and we were fully satisfied. Thanks to the team.

A place where you walk out with a lifetime experience. It's pitch dark in there and you get to know how it is for a visually impaired to play, listen and respond to the surroundings. Safety is ensured as individual lockers are provided and IR CCTV cameras are fit inside. The quantity of food is less and the dishes to be served can't be decided by the customer. It's a bit weird to eat without light, but the overwhelming excitement makes up for it. The cook, the staff, the instructors are all visually impaired and you will not even realize this unless they reveal it themselves. Great effort but expensive for the slot duration offered. Note: Prioritize experience over food !

One of the best experiences of our life. It is unique. The food is OK. Enhanced awareness of feel, touch, hearing, smell and taste. This is a restaurant you leave with a learning that lasts a lifetime...

Best place to have a wonderful experience. Tasty food but I suggest to have the complete visiting and playing cricket, so that u will enjoy much. Only dinner won't be that much good and experience. We were 5 people and enjoy much. I will definitely come again. They will get you a stick and full of blind people. Thank you to everyone who guided us. Hatsoff makkale!!

Great experience. A place everyone should visit atleast once. It's motive is to be more than just another themed restaurant and to emphasize on the value of life and how physically challenged people cheerfully live their lives! Food was great too. 😁

When I was doing window shopping in EA( express Avenue, Royapettah) , a sign board attracted me with orange fonts as "Dialogue in the dark" which is a restuarant. So planned to have lunch there. So rushed to book seats with the front office. I have to pay the entry amount and need to hand over all the reflective items, mobile phone, torch in the locker. I was surprised why????

Instructions written as :
1) inside restaurant will be "pitch dark"
2) we have to eat in darkness with guidance of the people inside the restaurant.

For half an hour, felt like helpless without any small piece of light.

Once lunch is done and came out of the restaurant, I was shell shocked to know that all servers and cooking people are blind and deaf.

Hats of the to the people !!!!

For half an hour, without vision life seems to be tough but for them it's permanent.




Cost :

Rs. 500/ head


Things to look for :-

1) enjoy the food in darkness with your friends and family

2) no phone or any other distractions

The experience of here matters, the whole idea of the restaurant being that you are in the dark and do activities there - you need to imagine what a particular thing is by ears, touch, feel, etc. Playing cricket in the dark is fun as well. Just experience the same and don't reveal what awaits at the end of the journey

Unique Experience!! Must try atleast once.

Food is of less importance. A standard and limited, fixed menu is served. Ofcourse nobody comes here to taste the food as this place is purely for the amazing experience. The place is pitch dark and nothing else to say. Feel yourself.
It costs 630 per head incl. tax.

Experience inside the restaurant is awesome, Person guiding in the dark place knew English, Tamil & Telugu as well which helped us to be in the dark place till the end of the meal.
Only the food is limited which is like a Lunch Box.... One Wrap with 2 Chicken pieces & some Gravy which will not be sufficient for the people who wanted more dinner....
U can stay inside the dark room for more than an Hour where u will be given a stick, u will play cricket & u need to bat by hearing the sound of the ball & u need to cross the moving bridge in the dark which will be the best experience & identify the things, paintings on the wall & finally have your dinner
It's a bit difficult to have food without looking into it nor knowing what it is, but you should
Please do not go there just to have food inside the dark but if you wanted to know how blind people will live their life - it's the only place you can go & have a very Great Experience

An entirely different experience I've ever had. A place that activates all your senses except vision. The entire tour is for 30 minutes and you come out thanking one of the biggest blessing each one of us have, without which we would feel like how we experience during the tour. An awesome concept and the food too, its delicious. Thank you Muzammil Sir for being an amazing guide. P.S:- Please do visit, rather than looking at comments to know what happens inside. Its not too costly as well. And being a dark restaurant, please don't come back telling that quantity of food was less. And seriously, i don't understand why people describe the entire tour as Google Guides just to get more points and rank, inspite of what they request us- not to break what they have in store for us.

One awesome experience in the dark for around 45 min to 1 hour. Experienced a blind life in the pitch dark environment where we were guided by people who were visually challenged. That's the highlight of this place. I hope all will enjoy and once u get inside this place and come out the next time u ain't gonna be scared of darkness. Instead u will play around even in pitch dark. We had an amazing dark surprise gig perform for a couple on their anniversary here which was one memorable day for us.

Wake your senses while shutting your vision. Ever wondered how your life would be without any lights? Darkness is all you see! Ever wondered about a blind man's lifestyle? His whole life is just filled with darkness and that's all they see! But wondering all this, ever wanted to live their life for once ? Well, Now you can! Dialogue in the dark, set up in EA mall, now gives you this expereince. The real expereince of blindness. And by expereince I mean, Literally you go blind for few minutes. Your​ sense of vision shuts and rest of your senses wakes up. Touch to feel,smell and Taste the truth! The Irony here is, you get your help by people who are actually blind. You're no more in your comfort zone. Taste of darkness is the restaurant part of the expereince. Before we stepped into the world of darkness,we were asked to keep our light emiting gadgets in the locker. We were guided by the ppl who were actually blind.They made us feel comfortable guiding our way to our tables. The place was pitch dark with not a bit of light! As we took our seats, we started off with a small game to pass time till our food arrived.. Being in darkness, you be you. You stop to bother about what others do or think of you. I don't wish to explain much regarding the food and spoil your suspense, I suggest you to give it a shot and experience yourself. The best part is, you can do what ever you wish to with the food. How ever you wish to eat. Spoons provided, but I suggest you to get your hands dirty. It's finger licking good. 😋 Go for it to earn some expereince you won't regret. P.S for the interior pics, Just close your eyes and feel the peace. That's how it is inside. 😁

A very innovative restaurant which bring your school days in front of you by serving dishes in a tiffin box. A must suggested place in Chennai where people can experience the lives of visually challenged people once in their life time. Affordable price and you need to pre book for the slot. Enjoy the new world with friends and family and make the dialogues in the extreme dark.

” Dialog in the dark is the place where i realized that even blind people can see” – “The moment i stepped inside, i felt like i’m totally blind its was pit dark ” i was totally astonished. Suddenly i felt a hand holding my hand and asking for my name, i told my name and he place my hand on his shoulder and asked me follow him. i was wondering how come this guys can see in pit dark. i thought they might use infrared viewers. He guided me to the seat which i have reserved already, i sat there for a while with 5 of my friends with eager feeling to know what going to be next. All i can feel was aromatic smell of food and people voices, been an inquisitive guy i was totally amazed. A moment later i heard a voice calling my name, i said yes i’m right here. They said, can we have a small puzzle? i was like puzzle yaaa ok, lets give a try. He handed over me a object in my hand, i can clearly feel that its an alphabetical word “A” and all my friends got different letters “r,p,l,i,a”, he asked us to form the letter with given alphabet, we started exchanging the letter which we had and formed a word ” APRIL” its was quite easy still had a amazing time. After sometime they gave us the food, they serve two different types of food ” Non veg Thalli – 349Rs” & “Veg Thalli for -299rs”, I can feel the presence of food with the aromatic smell, Then they called my name and placed my hand on the hot box, requested me to open and have it. Hot box contains three portion in it, one with Roti and tandoori chicken, middle one with Veg pulav and last one with some chicken gravy, Coming to the taste of the food it was good, you need not have to worry about bones and stuffs in tandoori everything is boneless. Tandoori was perfectly marinated and its was perfect, Coming to the veg pulav, the moment i had it, i can feel the presence of corn, capsicum in it and the taste was good but felt it would have been better with little spiciness, Coming to the gravy we haven’t found what gravy it is yet :(,it tasted like butter chicken still it had capsicum in it, fusion food:D, so some of my friends claimed it would be chicken machurian :D, Finally we named it as ” Darky Chicken” Once we had the food, They requested us to arrange the hot box and place it on table, one of my friend (tanveer) got shocked hearing it, he was searching for one of the container :D. Then somehow he managed to find it in the dark and we gave it to them, then they handed over me the wet tissue for wiping the hands and we started to talk with each other. even its pit dark i can sense where my friends where sitting, i started to learn the place, like how i came inside where to take left and right, i was even counting the foot steps right from the first. Yup its the right time to implement it, we are checking out now. one of the guide placed my hand on his shoulder to take us out, i was calculating steps and analyzing it, after 15 steps i was guessing i should turn right, its was perfect 😀 they took right, i was playing a little game with myself. The moment i stepped out i felt the whole environment is too bright i couldn’t see i closed my eyes for sometime. i felt i have to get inside again and i turned back, I was totally shocked to see my guide. i thought guides will be using a infrared camera but i was totally wrong, he was visually impaired, everyone who works here are visually impaired. ” That’s the moment i felt even a visually impaired people can see, we see though the eyes, They see though the feel and sense”. we might be blind in the dark but they are not, they are not blind even in the light they can feel everything. I very much thank to the organisation who gave them an identity Hats-off to them. Overall for the experience will rate them 5/5 and for the food 3.5/5, so my overall rating will be 4/5.

Went for experiencing the darkness .. Both veg and non veg costs the same price ( 399) We will be guided by blind people and the food will be served in complete darkness.. They will be giving small school boxes *quantity and quality is okay but they can reduce the price.... We have played a game too..

My favorite restaurant ever. You could experience a new way and style of dining. You will enter into the blinds world's and you will come to know about their lives with the curb. Once you enter into the reception they will give you a small key where you should keep your electronic gadgets and light equipping devices into the locker. And here the game starts, if your has 3 or 4 or 5 members that doesn't matter. They will give you a curb and you should follow the first person who is your guide. You will be followed by the first person of your gang, you will hearing only the sounds in a very dump dark place but tremendously you would definitely enjoy each and every portion of the wall. A guide will be there to help you to the destination in the mean time you would enjoy the birds sound and running water sound. Even you will walk in the bridge and you will imagine that you are in a park when you sit for sometimes at the bench over there. You can sing when you are sitting in the bench. I promise you! You will definitely enjoy visiting this place. Go and support the restaurant because they runs for the blind people.

Good concept. All blind people will serve you. They provide locker in which you will keep all your mobiles and electronics items. Inside you will experience only dark. Items are only two veg and non-veg. One you have to choose. Amount for veg or non-veg is 650 per person. Have to try once. Taste is good.
