Amazing ambience... From the napkin to the spoon I fell in love with each and every thing. The complementary bread was tasting so yummy with the Olive butter(best butter I had in my entire life). From starter to desert... You order anything and I bet you will love it. Music was nice and soothing. Loved it... Totally.

M'Bessy Kitchen & Bar is an upscale restaurant situated in Adyar area on the ground floor of Esthell Hotel. We went there for a team dinner with 6 people and opted for a 4-course meal where we had the option of choosing our Soup, Starter, Main Course Dish and Dessert from the carefully curated menu with 1 in 4 choices. There are enough options for vegetarians and non-vegetarians in the menu. The menu itself is tastefully designed with good selection of dishes to suit Indian taste buds. Food is excellent with even wonderful plating in each and every dish. Looking at your plate it's evident there is a trained set of hands taking care of food behind the kitchen walls. Every plate which arrives at your table is a delight waiting to be discovered, tastefully as well as visually. Our choices of soup, starters, main course grill, and pasta were an excellent portion. The desert, however, was big large, but that's not a complaint in any way. In and all the team had a wonderful experience that evening and we couldn't stop talking about the food all along evening. The ambiance is classy and would suit all age groups, you have a choice of sitting on the tastefully decorated chair table arrangement or the first-floor bar with lounges as per your social group and liking. Overall a perfect place for an excellent evening which you can recommend to one and all.

It was a quiet atmosphere at the restaurant. The seating was pleasant and we got a good service from the restaurant. Food was okayish, it was not that great but to point out some we had, I loved the chilly basil prawns and the achari fish Tikka. Those were the tastier dishes I enjoyed being there.

Good food, nice decor and lovely cocktails... Visiting the place after a long gap of 6 months this time visited the bar... Lot of selection on cocktails and shooters and really enjoyed the time there... The quick bytes are really good... Little on the expensive side but worth all the money

Lovely ambience, great food. I liked the fact this place has small menu so needn't waste much time on deciding or discussions. Good choices of veg and non-veg items. Salads are a must have; fresh and delicious. It's a great place for friends, groups or couples to hang out. Lively music and great vibes. Good customer service, friendly hospitality.

MBessy I had bookmarked this place for a really long time looking at their impressive menu! I finally had a change to taste their food on Saturday night! I wanted to eat less and drink a lot because it was ages since I went drinking! But once the starters came to our table, I changed my mind 🙄 What we ordered? 1. Mezze Platter - this platter comes with a variety of dips including humus, pink mayonnaise, salsa and babaganoush which comes with soupsticks, pita bread and toasted flat bread. The kubus/ pita bread was irresistible so we ordered for more. It was hot, soft and was drizzled with olive oil. 2. M'Bessy spicy chicken skewers - this was well spiced pieces of chicken grilled to perfection. The chicken was really tender and succulent. We loved the salsa which had a balance of favors. The vegetables were so fresh and they had used just the right amount of dressing. 3. Prawns Dynamite - I was expecting more of a crispy fried pawn but this was more like a South Indian version of mixes batter of besan, cornflour and rice flour and batter fried. The twist here was both the prawns and the batter were well spiced. You also have different sauces drizzled on top which adds to the flavor! You get a well salad with it so you don't have to feel guilty about the added calories. 3. Pizza Barbecue Chicken - this was a thin crust pizza loaded with barbecue chicken, tomatoes, cheese, bell peppers, fresh herbs, jalapeños and basil. You get six huge pieces but trust me it'll vanish within minutes. 🙈 (Guilty) 4. Chocolate Terrine - a fancy dark chocolate mousse which was just the perfect ending we needed for our meal. It's chocolate, it melts in your mouth, you will want more even when you are stuffed. Need I say more??? They also had kiwis and strawberries with kiwi coulis and strawberry coulis so the citrus and chocolate are just a party in your mouth! I went there to drink so here goes! 1. M'Bessy Cafe - this was a cocktail which was vodka mixed with baileys and coffee. What I loved was this comes with the cutest coffee flavored macaroon. 2. Red wine - they only had Sula which kept me going for the evening! Ambience Loved the ambience. A quiet place for the perfect dinner date. They have two floors, the ground floor has the restaurant and the first floor has the Resto bar. We personally loved the music. The only drawback (atleast which I thought was)was the seating. The resto bar is small, and they have high tables and small chairs which allows walking space for just one person between the tables. And the chairs were getting a little uncomfortable after a while, specially when you end up sitting for hours. Service There always people watching out! These waiters here were so quick and they gave us plenty of suggestions when we were confused as to what to order. Infact our pizza was suggested by one of the person waiting our table. I'm a seafood lover and went for the grilled fish, but he said it can be shared by 3 or 4! So we chose the pizza. Very friendly people around and they all work with smiling faces and manage the crowd really well. Plating I love the playing here and whoever came up with these dishes are not geniuses but artists! I would love to meet the chef someday and thank him for not just a tasty meal but putting an art on a plate that quickly. *Bows* I am going back to EAT more than what I did last time. Right now this place is my personal favorite. I would like to thank the restaurant for a wonderful evening.

Newly opened restaurant and Resto Bar in the place of the previous restaurant Mbessy. Had the privilege of getting invited for food tasting . The service was fast and the staff were very polite . The ambience was rich . The dishes were not only appealing to the eyes but also to the stomach. First started off with PERI PERI PANEER which was the perfect starter for the night . Way better than the paneer tikka you commonly know about , also the mayo they provide adds up to the taste of the paneer . Then had pizza bianca which was surprisingly huge for it to be regular sized . This was one of the best pizzas I've ever had . The twist in the pizza was the addition of caramel onions. Toppings were filled in good quantities . One pizza and you'll be done for the night . Ended up with red bull and ice tea for the drinks . This resto bar is a perfect place to hangout with friends or for a date night to enjoy your food slowly along with music and drinks . Overall loved the place .

It's a good resto bar in the vicinity that is adyar area. It's recently renovated, so it's very well maintained. The ambience is good and the quality of beverages as well as the food is good. The service is friendly and the staff is quite welcoming. You can avail discounts on Zomato and Dineout.
