We were here on 11th Aug 2017 for dinner... ordered for ghee rice, Malabar fish curry,parotta chicken gravy and annalaya mutton biriyani.. The Malabar fish curry was a perfect kerala style kuruma and was excellent.m we ordered idiyappam later to cherish the Malabar curry.. The ghee rice was also good.. The biriyani taste was good but was too much masala.. if the spice was less, the biriyani would have been great as well..

Annalaya is a authentic South Indian restaurant located at the heart of the city, yes Nungambakkam is what I'm talking about. The place is easily identifiable and has enuf space for parking too. The ambience is usual to that of any South Indian restaurant and it's very very spacious. They have simple interiors and they are jam packed during the lunch always. We went in for lunch to try this place.
Now coming to food we had the combo "Mannar kari virundhu saapadu". The combo consisted of, chicken soup, sharbath, mutton Sukka, mutton liver, mutton chops, malli chicken, chettinad chicken , egg , fish fry, nethli fry, prawns thokku, kaada kolambu, nattu kozhi kolambu, mutton varutha kari, nethli kolambu, chicken gravy, mutton gravy, fish gravy, parotta, chicken briyani, raitha, sweet, white rice, curd , Rasam, butter milk, dessert of the day and ice cream. Yes the combo is very huge and you might wonder it's difficult for one person to finish it. The food taste was exceptional and too good. One should try this place and will come out with huge belly, the food is too good. Especially NV ppl will enjoy the taste of the meat served here and this is where they stand strong. Right from the rose sharbath to the vanilla ice cream, I loved the entire meal so did my fellow friends.
Service was really quick.
My rating would be 5/5. Just for the love of their food.
Overall my rating is 4.5/5 (includes ambience and other service).

This former ‘Vegetarian’ restaurant is now treating the meat lovers. The place serves downright authentic Chettinad and Andhra cuisines. I happened to be here on a lunch invite.
Parking: There is a sufficient parking space. Valet parking facility is available.
Ambiance: The place is a perfect fit for family dining. Definitely a disclaimer for the noise. The place can be really crowded and literally noisy .Like literally! Wish to the old gods and the new that you could have your meal peacefully coz that becomes a rather rare happening!
Food:
On the food front, we were warmly greeted by a cold rose sarbat.At first, we were told that was Nannari and the three of us almost doubted our knowledge of a nannari taste.But thanbkfully, it’s a rose sarbat with gulkhand. It indeed helped us to beat the heat.
Without much debate, we opted for a Mannar Kari Virundhu so that we could try out almost all of the specials.. Beware; this could be heavy even if you are a 1 on 2 taker. Justifying the virundhu nature, we were served food in a banana leaf.
The meal is a royal one indeed. A king sized appetite would be the most apt companion.
Firstly the soups. We had Mutton paya and Naatu kozhi soup. Paya was better I felt. Nattukozhi soup lacked the fieriness.
The vast meal had ample number of sides with white rice, briyani and even the desserts.
Mutton Sukka-Mutton liver-Mutton chops were the semi gravy sides. Amongst which, I felt that the mutton liver topped the charts. One thing to be mentioned here that the meat in all the three sides was tender and juicy yet cooked well inside out. With the right spiciness and flavor that a chettinad meal can offer you this went rather good with the parotta.
Mutton varutha curry : I was expecting a better version of it. Nevertheless was tasty. Lacked the flavor and Could have had the right texture I felt.
Malli chicken and chettinad chicken. The former had different feedbacks. I liked it while it wasn’t much appreciated by my fellow mates. Try this yourself and find out. Chettinad chicken was just perfect the way it had to be and complemented the briyani well.
I have been known to repeatedly state that I’m not a great fan of seafood, but truly I never turn away from them completely. Liked the prawn thokku and crab masala gravy. Prawns are better served as dry side. NO, that’s not completely true. Not after you try the gravy here. Options on the fish food included nethili fry, vanjaram fry, nethili kulambu and fish fry. Nethili fry served here is so far the softest I have tasted. Not sure if that’s good or bad. But definitely it was tasty. Vanjaram was downplayed.
Briyani – two small portions of Chicken and Mutton briyani, both made from seeraga samba rice served along with raitha and chicken and mutton gravies . I liked the chicken one better. Briyani had the authenticity. Mutton meat in the briyani felt rather undercooked and dint blend so well with the rice. The chicken gravy though felt a bit saltier. But with rice, nothing big to complain.
Naatu kozhi kuzhambu, nethili kuzhambu and kaada kuzhambu. The gravies were second best to none.Kaada kuzhambu was the personal favorite. Better had with the white rice.
We also had malai chicken. Short of marination. Chicken was not soft as it is expected to be. But mint chutney could save your day with that.
Panneer porichadhu was served to us as a reminder of the availability of vegetarian food at the place. Hardly had our taste buds right to judge it after such a heavy meal.
Moving to the last part of any meal, Desserts. We dint have the appetite after such a royal feast that we decided settle the score with icecreams.
Mannar kari virundhu, priced at Rs.700 has unlimited option on selected items and could serve well for two people easily.
Head out to one of the best chettinadu restaurants for a perfect family dining with more tolerance to the noise of fellow eaters..JK!
Happy eating peeps !
A nice dine in restaurant for a family/ friends gathering. The dishes are all good and the service is fast.
I will definitely recommend dining with this place.
Good food. Great service.
We had a really welcoming receiving and very good tali. The staff was very attentive and we received excellent service. Food was authentic, well prepared and hygienic. If a little expensive. We'll come back.

Today we had vazai ilai sappadu. All dishes were quite good and tasty.nothing to complain in this regard. but coordination in serving needs some more attention .
When we went the table occupancy was about 50 %. After serving vegetables, we had to wait for rice. we had to call for appalam which was not served in the first instance. aviyal/kootu was not served though it was mentioned in menu board kept outside (we saw it while coming out after finishing meals ).
Though these are small flaws , if avoided will add more repute to your restaurant.
The food and ambience was good. The prices were reasonable overall. We paid 1100 for 4 people, which included 1 meal and a la carte orders with dessert (ice cream with jamun)
It is very nice vegetarian restaurant. There are many varieties of items in the Thali. The specialty of this restaurant is Thangachi rasam - Sisters will serve rasam for his brothers when they visit to her - It is very tasteful , flavour . They served in banana leaf. It is mixture of Kannada/ Kerala/ Tamil Nadu / Andhra dishes .

The food is sumptuous, price is on the higher side but worth it, strategically located, good taste and service contribute to a pleasant experience
Hotel ambience is very good. Foods were good and clean. Would be best suited for people like to have a peacful lunch or dinner
Hey guys yesterday i visited annalaya... Trust me i never had a tasty food which i had in this restaurant... I think every one must taste this delicious and superb food
Good Ambience, Friendly servicing. Certain food pricing is at par. Few buildings next to vijay tv office. You can try various combinations
Nice and clean with good ambience. Courteous staff. Delicious home like veg and non veg delicacies. Bit pricy.
