My go to place for just chilling, as it is on the main road, easy to find by anyone and well a nice place to be at with good music good service and great food. Their Chinese and starters are particularly delicious along with the chocolate desert which is to die for.

The port cafe has been in our list for quite sometime now. I am writing this review after few weeks of visiting this place.
I picked up a deal in the little app which was quite a value for money.
We started off with a Lemon mint cooler and a watermelon mojito. The lemon mint cooler was quite refreshing given the sultry weather. The watermelon mojito was a bit of a let down. But these were the only 2 options that we could order from the menu basis the deal.
Next for starters, I ordered chili chicken. It was tasty but one problem. They had used the side pieces which turned out to be hard. Otherwise, the spices were of the right proportion.
For main-course, we ordered the Veg schezwan noodles and chicken Singapore noodles. The Veg schezwan noodles were good but the Singapore noodles could have been better.
I must add that given that we had bought a deal which was 40% lesser than mrp, the quantity served for 2 was quite a filling.
In terms of ambience, there is an outdoor and indoor seating. I think the outdoor seating is better in the evenings. Given that we were there for dinner, it was quite dark. Surprising for a Sunday evening, there was no one at the outdoor seating.
In terms of concept, I would give 4/5.
Ambience- 3.5/5
Value for money- 4/5
Food- 3.5/5
Port Cafe is situated on the busy Arcot road but since it is little inside from the road so the place is quiet and peaceful.
Ambience : Port Cafe has two sitting arrangements....One outside (non ac) and Second is Indoor (ac)
Either one of them can be used depending upon the weather :)
Verdict - 3/5
Food : We have purchased the coupons from little app so the options were limited.
Ordered -
1)Roasted potato caramelized onion and mushroom burger -
Awesome taste! . Little spicy. Fresh and creamy (4.5/5)
2) Indiana Burger -
Ok in taste. Very cheesy and creamy. (3.5/5)
3) Drinks - Tried different varieties - Citrus punch , Mochanana & Magic apple.
All were good in taste - (4/5)
Staff : Very friendly. (4/5)
So overall the experience was quite good as it was complete paisa wasool and good value for money. Indoor ambience can be improved little more. The menu is pocket friendly but using little app / nearbuy etc should be preferred :)
Final verdict - 4/5.
With coupon bought from little app, tried Indiana Burger and mojito. This would be the best burger I ever had surpassing the taste of McD. The mojito drink, though delayed tasted damn good and with mint added to it, made the wait worth it.
Port Cafe , went here on a sunny afternoon. My reservation was made through the Dineout app with 25% discount.
AMBIENCE : 5/5
----------------------------
They have an outdoor and indoor seating. The outdoor is themed as a port and the indoor is themed as a ship. The overall ambience was impressive.
SERVICE : 4.5/5
---------------------------
Right from having you seated to handing over the bill. The service was good.
FOOD :
-----------
DOUBLE SALSA NACHOS : 5/5
This is a must try one. Probably the best nachos I've ever had.
Those crunchy pineapple pieces steals the show.
LEMON ICED TEA : 5/5
Perfect large portion of lemon ice tea.
RED ALERT CHICKEN SALAD : 5/5
Salad with spicy chicken. Pepper adds more spiciness to the salad.
V.F.M : 5/5
------------------
I paid less than a 350 bucks for all those food. I would seriously recommend this place to anyone.
Affordable place with great burgers and desserts and the corn nuggets were yumm! I had the Indiana paneer burger and the adorable devil for dessert, loved it!
The "Port Themed" Restaurant which was quiet goood.
Pretty impressive stuff!!!
Outdoor area quiet amazing.
They have tried sum cool stuffs.
Must have is watermelon mojito its a cooool drink 4 summer.
Refreshing drink it's super addicting that u would wanna order one more ;)
Worth giving a shot!
Happiiii Eatinggggg 😬😍
Ordered the veg combo. It had a starter missing. Also i had asked for noodles but i received rice. Overall the food was decent. Gravy had cauliflower florets. Not very spicy.
Dropped in for a quiet brunch. Food was decent. I liked the blackened chicken skewers. The "indoor" dining ambience doesn't really evoke the port/ship feeling it claims to do. Narrow alleys with a handful of sea/lighthouse/boat picture frames.
Maybe the evenings would be fun, with the outdoor setup.
Food was decent & the place was clean.
My first review on Zomato! I had gone for a longish walk and literally stumbled upon this adorable place... friendly, uber cool and refreshingly original... but what strikes me most is how relaxing the place is and how unlike the traditional Chennai it is on most counts... the outdoor seating, sparse interiors that makes you instantly comfortable, health food options in a rather interesting menu, adjoining a fitness centre..pity they cant serve some chilled draught! But given we just wanted to see the place, we tried only a few things and everything was delicious! I loved the place and will be back for sure! And yes, the place gets 5 stars for coolness quotient..
A place where you can hang out with friends. Food is really good and courteous staff.
A niche place with very good options and quality taste. Service is however slow.
That's one fantastic themed resto in the heart of Chennai. Not so expensive. Good for meet outs and some business talks. The place got some age factor, accommodating mostly young folks. Menu is interesting and got some space for smoking, but they don't provide cigarettes.
Someway it is little crowded!! Either the arrangements or little more no of seatings.
Overall, it's a good place to sit n talk.
N yeah, free WiFi 😊👍
Among the easy to spot location, parking facility, friendly service and arrival of the food on time, the economical bill which was just around 1500 /- for 5 of us was the best thing happened to us.
With good Themed restaurants are nearly in count-of-our-fingers in Chennai, this is another one which scores better in food than satisfying their theme ... !!!
Great drinks, decent food and a quirky ambience. Must try place with friends rather than a romantic spot. My favourites are the mochanana , a bowl of salad and the starry open sky above my head...
Good taste. Worth the money. All the dishes which we have tried tasted good( fried rice, noodles, starters) But only draw back is it doesn't serve Briyani, mutton items.
Nice concept of building blocks using port containers. Tasty food with variety of choices. Friendly staffs. Indoor and outdoor sitting arrangement available. However, mosquitoes might be a problem in the evening.
Too good. If you wanna have a short time to spend with the ppl you love this is the best place. Ambiance is good food is too good. The quality is perfect and the service is professional.
A decent place to hangout with friends. Evenings are good here at outdoor. Drinks and food are upto the mark. Hospitality is very impressive.
It was good experience.the food quality was good.but felt like people were less to serve.
