The Shack @ Elliots is a Pure vegetarian restaurant which serves Oriental and Continental food. I was wondering how did I miss this place these days. It's hard to get pure vegetarian place which serves those cuisine. After seeing good rating in Zomato, decided to go for it.
Location and Parking -
This restaurant is easy to locate. Just before Astalakshmi temple in besant nagar. Easy to spot once you are there. You can park your vehicle inside the premises itself.
Ambiance-
They have recently opened Flavours of Nellai restaurant inside their premises and we have option to sit in any of those restaurant and even order food of both restaurant in one place. The Shack seating is inside a small hut. Perfect for hangout while Flavours of Nellai seating is usual air conditioned room. We opted for latter one.
Ambiance is good with bright lighting inside. Comfortable seating. They also have outside stand and eat fast food type option. There is a small kids play area which kids can make use of it. During my first visit also spotted birthday theme decorated hut with candles. It looks romantic, perfect for special occasion of loved ones.
Service -
Been here few times. Once for trying this restaurant alone, next time for trying flavours of nellai alone and once again for trying both restaurant. All 3 times the service was good. They were courteous and attentive. Food ordered came in reasonable time.
Food -
Menu is good with Superb options. Tried Corn ๐ฝ fritters, Peri Peri Panner poppers, stuffed mushroom ๐, mozzarilla ๐ง sticks, crispy corn ๐ฝ kernels, spinach corn ๐ฝ au gratin, mushroom ๐ corn au gratin, Penne Al pesto pasta, mint lemonade ๐ and brownie with ice cream in 2 visits.
Starters -
Corn ๐ฝ fritters was similar to vadai ๐ made of corn ๐ฝ. The panner in Peri Peri Panner poppers was soft and spongy. Tastewise both are good. Stuffed mushrooms was new here and it was decent.
Crispy corn ๐ฝ kernals is one of my favorite dish which I order wherever it is available. It was excellent in taste which tempted us go for repeat order as well.
Ordered Mozzarella sticks since they suggested it while taking order quoting it as one of their signature dish. To our surprise it came out well, better than we expected. Yes, it is indeed their signature dish. Cheese ๐ง inside was excellent in taste.
Au Gratin - During first visit mushroom ๐ corn au gratin. It was one of the best au gratin I had till now. It came piping hot ๐ฅ with full of cheese ๐ง. The taste of cheese ๐ง was out of the world. It was accompanied by garlic bread which was also good. During next visit tried their spinach corn ๐ฝ au gratin which is also excellent. Must try over here.
Penne Al pesto pasta - It was creamy consisting of Broccoli ๐ฅฆ, zucchini and mushroom ๐. Pesto sauce level is perfect. Tastewise it was decent.
Brownie with ice cream and mint lemonade ๐ are also good.
Overall satisfying experience ๐ Must try for those who are looking for pure vegetarian restaurant serving Oriental and Continental cuisine. Also perfect place for romantic date ๐ฅฐ

This place is located in Besant Nagar, very near the beach. went over here for dinner recently with my friend. First I was thinking how it will be without AC and all. But to my surprise, the place was pretty chill and not hot at all! cool breeze from the sea kept the place amazing. The restaurant is basically hit style, they do not have any flooring. It is as if we are on the beach and eating food. The place is pretty good.ย
Moving on to the food over here, they have a wide range of food to choose from. They have a ton of snacks, starters and appetisers. Recently they have launched a lot of Main Courses. The food over here is good but the feel of the seaside, it is really worthy to come over here. A few dishes which I really loved were, Gobi Fried rice with paneer gravy, Mac and cheese, pizza bites, spinach and corn sandwich. These were the ones which I liked a lot. There were a very few dishes which needed improvement with the cooking. Otherwise the others are all good. They also have a mojitos and shakes. They are very refreshing.ย
Overall I had a great time over here and loved this place. They also have special date nights, which needs to be informed earlier. A perfect place to hangout with friends and chill! The cost is also economical. Their service is also very fast and friendly. Do check them out.
Amazing place! Such a lovely experience.... the shack is very calm... secluded from the city lights. The food is veryyyy tasty and the staff is extremely polite. A must visit place. The non-vegans will love it too ๐

An amazing dine out experience this afternoon. This place is located very close to Besant Nagar Ashtalakshmi Temple.
This is a pure veg restaurant.
The restaurant use refined oil & they make their own batter. They do not use preservatives or additives. It is as good as home made food.
Since the theme is Shack, they do not use flame stove. All are cooked with electric stove & oven.
Speciality of Shack:
1. Located in serene locality
2. Very close to Besant Nagar/Elliotโs Beach
3. Ample parking space
4. Spacious restaurants
5. Separate dining for Family
6. Rent a Shack for 2 hours for just โน2500 where you get to surprise your spouse during Birthday/Anniversary (The Cost includes food voucher worth โน1000)
7. Serves Oriental & Continental Cuisine
8. Neatly maintained
9. Friendly staffs
10. Reasonably priced
I highly recommend all of them not because I had them but because of their taste & quality. They were incredible. Best part is their Chief Chef is away. Food was prepared by their Executive Chef.
Do visit the place & you will keep visiting them :)
We came here yesterday for my husband's bday celebration. I had to have the cake delivered to the place and without any hesitation they took care of the delivery and took care of it until we reached the place. The decoration was very beautiful, on a beach theme shack a table full of rose petals and candles, balloons all around, a happy birthday hanging and comfortable seating for 7 persons.
Ambience is really pleasant as in near beach, being the only ones at 8:30 PM was an added advantage to it.
Staff were very understanding and answered all our doubts patiently.
Starters were really tasty. We had peri peri fries, potato cheese, gobi manchurian(must try). Dosa and Uthapapam could have been better. Pizza and Pasta were also good, Penne con salsa, Mac and cheese, Cottage cheese.
It was past their closing time but yet they let us stay and didn't hurry us.
We had a great time and made lots of memories, Thank you ๐

A new place to venture yet again. This place is a veg cafe, beach themed spot just along the bessie. First up, great parking space and it was an open-air type restaurant with good seating.
Cheese Corn Balls w/ salad - Hard on the out while flavourful on the inside with the warm cheese flowing through. Don't rely on cutleries; just grab and pop them in your mouth with the Mayo.
Peri Peri Paneer Poppers - To my surprise, the Paneer was well fried and the kick was infused all around. While in most places the taste wouldn't be spread evenly, this place served it with great flavour distribution.
Cheesy Nachos - Great Nacho chips with cheese toppings on top of the cheesy crunch.
Corn Cheese Maggi - Typical, munch it in when it's hot. Not to leave out in the cold.
Butterscotch Shake - Sweet, refreshing and was frothy.
Wouldn't call it pocket-friendly since the quantity served for the price paid was less. Could still improve on that.
P.S.: It was lunchtime on a Saturday but still we were the only people at the place. Having said that, there were no issues with the service and waiting time.
I came here to celebrate my aniversary, I had a really great time. The arrangements was really awesome. The food are so delicious, the staff were very helpful and served us well. Thank you so much team for this ! Last but not least to say about this restaurant is some moments are nice, some are nicer, some are even worth writing about....
Will be visiting soon to give my review again...

One of the best Continental Pure vegetarian restaurant at a very decent price.
The place consists of two restaurants managed by the same people. One for Continental dishes which is "The Shack" and another place for serving traditional South Indian food which is "Flavours of Nellai". I just tried the Continental food but Flavors of Nellai also seemed good but didn't try and food from this menu.
All the starters were pretty good, nothing to complain. Must try are the Mozarella Sticks, Lays sandwich and Au gratin varieties which were pretty good. Nachos were good, but don't expect too much cheese here.
The pasta here is pretty good! The sauce is thick and full of cheese and you could really feel the flavor of all the veggies in it. You could create your own pasta dish, with the pasta type, the sauce and the toppings. I would really recommend this. Also don't miss the Mac and cheese which was drool worthy. Just the right amount of cheese, well cooked macroni pasta and the accompanied garlic bread were pretty good.
The sandwiches too were fine, but not as good as pastas and the starters. It's passable.
Finally the beverages consisted of milkshakes and mojito's. Must try in this segment is the Virgin Pina Colada which tasted like heaven :)
You can be seated inside the hut, the air conditioned place or even outside which would be nice during a cool evening with the breeze from beach.
The people who served were really polite and overall it was a pretty good experience.
Had a date night with my wife for our anniversary.... From the moment I called in for a table until we left the premises, we felt really happy that we selected a perfect place to celebrate our anniversary. Be it the ambience, the service, the food everything was perfect. We had a very great time and Thank you "The Shacks" for making our day the best.
The Shack is a very good place for private parties and events. They have shacks to accommodate 2 people, 4-6 people (small groups) and bigger shacks to accommodate larger groups of 10-15 people. They help with the decorations and prep for the parties. It's a veg restaurant, but the food is really nice. Feels fresh and tasty. The owner is a very friendly and warm woman. Service is good, will rate it great if it was a little faster. Kids can also have fun as they have a small play area for kids aged 4-8years.
We booked for a candle light dinner and it's worth it.Food taste is yummy ๐
Awesome place. Shack like atmosphere is maintained inside the restuarant. Both continental and south indian dishes are available. Burnt garlic noodles and fried podi idli are must try. The rates are reasonable too.
