Review The Mayflower - Chennai (Madras)

Soul On Fire: Travel and Adventure
The place has valet parking and the ambiance is very serene and calm. The interiors are properly planned and they have good music . The food is served with delay but the freshness and hot food explains the same. The price is on the higher side and the quantity is sufficient and apt .

Taste was excellent. Every dish we ordered tasted awesome. Will definitely recommend this place for meetings with friends, just hangouts or even dates. Service was quick and friendly. No wait time, since there are so many tables for different group sizes. Cost would be 500-1000 for a person.

Oh my! I chose this place for our date and it's the best decision! Their rose milk cake is a must try, absolutely loved every bite of it! Very kind hosts and delicious food! Definitely visiting again.

Decided to check this place out on a quiet Tuesday for dinner. I’ve heard that their Asian dishes are quite the hit, but we opted for a more continental meal during our visit. The ambience is beautiful, pastel colours and warm lighting. I loved the green colour palette throughout the restaurant. For starters I highly recommend the crispy corn, it was spicy, tangy and had a kick of garlic. The jalapeño cheese poppers were okay, seemed a little undercooked to me. We got the pesto pasta for mains, it was good, but tasted more like a spinach pasta than the basil flavour that shines through pesto. The drinks were amazing, the hot chocolate was decadent and rich and came with a cute marshmallow. The milkshake was also very good! This restaurant had great ambience and good food, I’d definitely go back again to try the East Asian dishes! Overall 4.4/5 stars from me!

Tried the Khao suey chicken, Thai green curry, chicken cordon blue, and blue berry cheese cake and Gelato ice-cream. All the dishes were amazing. Would highly recommend the place.

First of all the place has good ambience with great interiors. The staffs were polite and friendly. We ordered chicken Khao suey and chicken prawn siu mai. Taste was different and good to be taken in small proportion. Those who want to try dumplings can definitely visit this place.

Met a couple of friends at Mayflower for lunch. Crispy lotus stem was unavailable so we ordered Mexican Stuffed potatoes and Veg Dimsum. Dimsum was excellent. For main course we ordered the Khao Suey, Alfredo Pasta and Korean style burger. Khao suey was excellent with good quantity. My friend did not like the burger as it was too sweet. Alfredo pasta was good. Nice ambience and the mock tail options were good too.

Food: Crystal veg dim sum - Translucent jiggly dim sum from starch; decent veg filling, not spicy, served with all-time favorite chili oil 😋 Teriyaki paneer skewers - Paneer cooked to perfection with a slightly hard outer coating and very tender inside; coated with a layer of glazing which went very well with the crunchy lettuce 😀 Onion rings - Crispy rings tossed well with spices; perfectly coated with the batter, crunchy and too good with the dip 🫡 Assorted bruschetta - Salsa topping was good while the olives and jalapeños worked well with me; the mushroom was okay too but on the whole, the bruschetta was top-notch 😍 Veg Mee goreng - Chose mildly spiced and the freaking smooth noodles were both crunchy (from veggies) and slurpy from the sauces, WOW 🤩 Dim sum and dumpling veg bowl - AWEMAZING veg bowl (with Chinese Bhel) which was as good as any khao suey; sweet coconut milk broth with squishy medium-sized dumplings; filled with all crunchy veggies, this bowl is full of nutrients and tummy filling 🤗 Hawaiian veg pizza - OH THE HAWAIIAN PIZZAS!! In complete love with the sweet/spice combo from the pineapples/Jalapenos; it was crunchy as usual with cheesy goodness and broccoli on top 👍 Mayflower exotica veg pizza - Topped with a drizzle of veggies like shrooms, pepper, paneer, and Zucchini, this was on par with any Veg pizza out here; gooey when hot but not spicy, GOOD 👌 Farm fresh parmesan veg pizza - Not a fan of the plain pizza since it was mediocre with so much cheese oozing around, Nothing else 🤔 Blueberry fizz - Kicky and sour drink with fizzy flavor from the fruit, OKAY 👍 Ambiance/Price: The best part of this place is its ambiance because they have got a good seating space; their valet parking space too is decent enough. The complete setup takes us on a peaceful journey around Asian cuisine which they strive to serve with perfection. Great decor, lighting, and pleasant ambiance. Their service was spot-on with a smile on their face every time they came up to the tables, KUDOS!! Definitely on the expensive side but their food leaves a lasting impact on our taste buds!!!

Charming restaurant that offers delectable cuisine and good service. Our dishes arrived promptly and portion sizes were satisfactory.
Harish Chaluvadhi
Excellent and tasty food, Good variety of selections available, Courteous and hospitable staff. But the food preparation time was a bit longer than expected. The taste made the wait worth it.

Taste was excellent.will definitely recommend this place for meetings with friends.loved the ambience .we comfortably get a table on Sunday.

The atmosphere and food is great but the restaurant is on the pricier end with small portions. We went on new year's day and it was such a rush. The service was really bad because the waiters only kept walking around a lot and it didn't seem like they were doing their job. None of them knew Tamil or English and it was really hard to communicate. It was a good think we went a little early and ordered most of the dishes in the beginning because it took nearly an hour for the pizza to arrive. Overall, visiting during non festive days might help with both crowd and food portions.
Niveditha Paulraj
A must try restaurant with vibrant ambience and tasty food. We tried Cream of Chicken soup, Crispy lotus stem, Mountain chilli chicken, chicken and prawn suimai, Pad thai noodles, all meat pizza, tiramisu and newyork cheesecake with blueberry sauce. The soup was a bit salty, but they replaced it when we informed. Due to peak hour crowd, they keep forgetting the orders. That being said, one can always go for the yummy food. Parking and lift facility is also available.
Nandhini Rajendran
We liked the food quality and the treatment. We tried four cheese pizza and pumpkin soup and loved the they were yummy. Thank you Suresh kumar for the pleasant treatment.

(Disclaimer - went to this place before lockdown)<br/><br/>Mayflower is a nice little cafe located in T.Nagar. <br/>Came over with my friends for dinner. <br/>What we ordered : <br/>1) Peri peri Hulk fries<br/>2) Panko fried chicken with Wasabi Mayo<br/>3) Charcoal Prawn Dimsum<br/>4) Grilled Chicken Picante<br/>5) Non veg Pesto sauce pasta<br/>6) Salted Caramel Monster shake <br/><br/>The starters were a good start. <br/>My personal favourite was the prawn dimsum. Not only was it aesthetically appealing, it tasted really good as well. <br/><br/>Main course - the pesto sauce pasta was really good. We got to choose the garnishes for the pasta we had. We chose - Sausages and Cheese melt. It was a really good choice (that reflected in the taste as well). The pesto sauce was really nice and creamy. <br/>The grilled chicken picante was also nice. It’s a dish 2 people can share :D<br/><br/>Milkshake : The salted caramel monster shake was good. It had the perfect amount of caramel, where the taste and flavour was precise and neither too over powering nor underplayed. <br/><br/>The ambience had a nice homely feeling to it. <br/><br/>The entire meal experience was average. <br/>I wish the food was a little better - quality wise. <br/><br/>Was not completely satisfied with the food I had :) <br/><br/>But it’s a nice place to hangout and have lengthy conversations with friends.

Excellent service and food was awesome! Special thank to Robertson for his dedicated service

This is the first place I went after lockdown. I read all the good reviews and booked a table. I have no regret at all. The service is soo good, especially tue person who waited our table was so polite. People are so friendly. Too bad they said outdoor seating was not available. If you're looking for a romantic date you can take your partner here. The food quality and quantity was justified. I was really expecting for an outdoor seating but other than that. These people really know how to run a restaurant. I'd definitely visit again.❤ #friendlyservice

The Mayflower is set up at Burkit Road, Its a old bungalow which is renovated as a restaurant. I wud say its a best place to hangout with friends and family. We had Chicken Soup it was kinda okay. Later we had Water chestnut dimsum which tasted really good. I have always wanted to try their signature dish which is Khauo Suey it was served with fried noodles with 9 types of sides. It was very rich in flavour and the quantity was good. Staffs wr friendly and ambience was soothing.

This old bungalow now turned into a feel-at-home cafe has been the address to many yesteryear eateries that redefined the restaurants scene in the city. Bang on Burkit road this place is hard to miss. They've huge parking and a bigger than usual dining area in the ground floor that can accomodate atleast 60 odd diners at a time. Added to that the once a home also features separate rooms for larger private crowds so this is not just another cafe.<br/>Wooden interiors, Madras roofing ceiling, monotone floors are all aspects that owe to the building's legacy, the food is the other side of the coin. On the first floor is a co-working space which is bang on the money.<br/>Menu is pretty lavish ranging from dumplings, soups, satays and grills for starters, to the cafe defining pasta, pizza, burgers, along with a fair share of plated Pan Asian and European main course for those who consider a plateful to be a complete meal, and ofcourse drinks and shakes. Extra brownie points for keeping vegetarians in equal options compared to the meat options which is reassuring. We got to try some of the finest from almost the entire menu and I'm already looking forward to go back and try rest of their menu out.<br/>We kick started the meal with a cream of broccoli and cheese soup. There was a little bit of bittery aftertaste from ground broccoli, but thats just nitpicking considering the rich creamy texture. Ideally served sans salt and pepper (or very little of it) is just how it's supposed to be done.<br/>Starters were three amazing plates of Jamaican jerk paneer skewers, the paneer got a tad chewy, seasoned to perfection; crisp lotus stems, deep fried and sauteed into a rich spicy manchow kinda sauce, needs no dips. And the regular crispy fried American corn. Dumplings and the accompaniments are a menu by their own. For their starters I'd strongly recommend you try their dumplings before anything else.<br/>Main course was again a mix of Asian and cafe food. The seven cheese pizza was absolute bomb if you're into blue cheese and stuff. Khou suey was the best I've had in recent days. They luckily have their bests in both veg and meat options available. With crisps on top and rich coconutty Thai curry adding more than just flavour to the dish khou suey is a must try in my opinion. We tried their creamy white sauce paste in a penne which was again good.<br/>To summarise, I was a little sceptical when I read both continental and Asian food together in the menu at first but the food proved to stand for itself. Desserts, their signature an orange dharshan which stood true to its name, not my favourite because of the sourness from the orange weren't really my thing, they also have their signature cheesecake that could never go wrong.<br/>Food was on the house yet a meal for two wouldn't cost over a 1500 for a hearty meal.<br/><br/>Parking - 5/5<br/>Food - 4/5<br/>Service - 4/5

The Mayflower is situated on the busy Burkit road in Tnagar in an old long forgotten bungalow of yesteryear Madras filled with colonial buildings. Decent parking space considering the neighbourhood.A laid back atmosphere with naturally lit rooms containing comfortable seating arrangement and when the place is full I am assuming there will be a cacophony of noise. I am sure our group certainly raised hell but thankfully no one complained.<br/><br/>Their menu seemed to be wide ranging from Dimsums to Burgers with a heavy dose of italian thrown in the middle. We started off with a few soups. Cream of Broccoli and Cheese Soup was very rich and creamy as the name suggests. Meal started off on a fine note. Next up was the Cream of Chicken Soup and this was truly exceptional. Very thick and creamy with a good amount of chicken chunks but I think the winner here is their cream sauce which worked all the magic. The French Onion Chicken Soup which followed this stood absolutely no chance. After two creamy heavenly soups this thin broth had no takers.<br/><br/>We moved onto Appetizers with Crispy Corn being good. This was followed by Crispy Lotus Stem which was also pretty good. I seem to be fascinated with Lotus Stem off late and have been ordering them left right and center. Finely sliced pieces deep fried to perfection and crispy to the point. Passed muster and the next on our plate was Jamaican Paneer Skewers which sadly didn't. The Paneer was a bit hard and lacked any real flavor.<br/><br/>Mountain Chili Prawns is supposed to be a chef special and we were very pleased with the outcome. Thin almost deceiving pieces of prawns fried in mountain chili was both crispy and spicy. We even went in for an encore for a friend who missed this cause she was late. Water Chestnut and Broccoli DimSums along with Deep Purple Chicken Dimsum. I didn't get to taste the veg version but the purple one kinda seemed only good enough for pictures. Had no real wow factor to it.<br/><br/>The main course we opted for consisted of Pasta, Pizza and a couple of their asian dishes. For the pasta going for the cream sauce was a no brainer due to the exceptional cream soup and we were not disappointed one bit. We opted for Mushroom and Broccoli topping keep in mind the couple of vegetarians we had in our group. It was a fantastic Pasta and we nearly licked the plate clean. Next up was the 7 Cheese Pizza which was a marriage of 7 different cheese varieties like the name suggests and it just transformed the way the room smelt. Smelt heavenly and tasted just as good.<br/>We were so impressed that we went in for a 7 cheese and veg exotica half and half next just to get another whiff. Smoked Chicken Pizza was the last pizza for the day and I kinda felt let down due to the chicken pieces being a little too dry for my liking.<br/>Moon Fan Fried Rice and Khao Suey completed the main course. Didn't get to taste the Moon Fan but the Khao Suey was superb. Khoa Suey is a coconut cream based noodle soup loaded with veggies sprinkled with fried noodles and served with an array of condiments to elevate the taste.<br/><br/>Finally we were done with the main course and finished this marathon meal with desserts and some beverages. For a place with such an extensive menu, it was surprising to see that they had only two dishes in the dessert column. Orange Darsan Flamble was crispy fried noodle served with ice cream and it was actually lit up in front of us when they served it. Death by Chocolate with the chocolate cake and a scoop of vanilla ice cream was a let down to be honest. We heard that they plan on introducing maybe another dessert and I feel after such amazing food, you need something better to finish on a sweet note. Beverages we tried were the Kit Kat shake which was fabulous, Cold Coffee and Cold Bournvita Float which was both good and sends you on a mini nostalgic trip down memory lane. We ordered the Charcoal Latte more due to curiosity and it certainly got this cat killed.<br/><br/>Overall a few dishes missed the mark but the majority was absolutely exceptional. The service was pretty prompt until the very end when they took ages to bring our last few orders of pizza. Their staff were courteous and knowledgeable with good suggestions. Definitely going back to this charming bungalow for a fix of that delicious Chicken Soup and Khao Suey. .

Lovely ambiance with great food. Will do visit again.

Taste : 4.5/5 ; Ambiance : 5/5 ; Service : 4/5 ; VFM : N.A<br/><br/>The Mayflower Restaurant was in my wishlist since the time i got to see the awesome ambiance and food pics of my Insta Feed from other fellow food Bloggers..Located on the burkit road in T.Nagar right in the centre of the city and is easily accessible..The restaurant has some good parking space for both Bikes and Cars..<br/><br/>The Restaurant is situated in a old heritage bunglow and stands as a perfect example of how to use the available space into making a cute looking restaurant..The Ambiance is lovely with adequate and comfortable seating..Also the restaurant is Naturally lit which helps in those insta ready photos..The First floor is a Co-Working space which enables us to use the property for some official uses..Lovely is the only word for it..<br/><br/>The Service manned by handful of servers is polite and courteous..The waiting time seemed to be on the lesser side except for the Pizzas which took slightly more time..The plating and presentation too is spot on..<br/><br/>Given below are the items we tried and my take on them..<br/><br/>Cream Of Chicken Soup (rs199) : I would rate this as the best Cream of Chicken soup i have personally had..The consistency of the soup was really thick and the cream sauce base heavenly in taste..Add it with generous amount of chicken pieces and we have one good soup..Left me longing for more even after i wiped the bowl clean..<br/><br/>Cream Of Brocolli and Cheese Soup(rs169) : Had a sip of this and i loved this one too..Though not as great as the chicken one this too had a good consistency and the taste of the brocolli and cheese was really good..<br/><br/>Crispy American Corn (rs199) : The Usual Crispy fried Corn but with a lot more veggies and butter..The crispness was really good and the well cooked to give an yummy taste..Worth a try..<br/><br/>Crispy Lotus Stem (rs209) : I have never liked these lotus stem dishes at most places baring a few..But here i took one bite and just fell in love with it..The best i have had handsdown..The spicy taste on the crispy lotus stems was just too good..<br/><br/>Jamaican Paneer Skewers (rs209) : Least impressive dish IMO..The Paneer was hard an the overall taste too was not that impressive..<br/><br/>Mountain Chili prawns (rs279) : Another good dish which had crispy fried butterflied prawns sauteed in a supposed Mountain chili sauce..Taste wise it has a spicy taste along with a slightly sweet taste to it too..Must try dis for sure..<br/><br/>Waterchestnut Corn and Brocolli Dimsums (169rs) : Loaded to the brim as you may say the dimsums were really good with a clean finish..Served with the usual 3 sauces, chili, garlic and mustad which complimented the dimsums really well..<br/><br/>Deep Purple Chicken Dimsums (rs209) : Really good in taste but slightly on the dry side..But with the sides they were really good..Must try..But just ask to not make it dry..<br/><br/>Khao Suey : (329rs-Veg/369rs-Non Veg) : For Burmese food i have always preferred road side shops but this place did change my perception a bit..Wonderfully plated to start with served along with variety of condiments..once plated it was quite aromatic with a rich coconut flavor and the taste was really good..Totally recommended..<br/><br/>Moon Fan Fried Rice Veg (rs249) : This is supposedly a fried rice made with 5 spices but this is my first try though..The Fried rice itself was really good in taste and left a good after taste..quite filling in quantity too..But given the name i expected it to be a more spicier version but it was quite the normal one..<br/><br/>MYO Pasta : We ordered a veg Variant in Cream Sauce and let me tell you that this too was really good and IMO they do have wonderful Cream Sauce Base..The Penne used was really well cooked in a yummy and cheesy paste along with other veggies..Served with garlic bread slice this one is a must try..<br/><br/>7 Cheese Pizza (rs450) : With a pure cheesy smell you cant ask for a cheese pizza to be richer than this..Made with Mozarella, Feta, Bocconi, Parmesan, Red Cheddar, Cream Cheese and Blue Cheese..The Smell and taste was however taken over by the Blue Cheese..Must try for Cheese lovers..And if you have the pungent smell of the blue Cheese plz do avoid..<br/><br/>Smoked chicken Pizza (rs369) : A slightly spicier pizza with cubes of chicken along with paprika..The smoked flavor was however lagging..<br/><br/>Death By Chocolate (rs259) : A Chocolate Pastry served with a scoop of Ice cream..The Pastry was really moist with a rich chocolate taste..As the Menu say it's an experience in itself i  cant deny about it..<br/><br/>Kit Kat Thick Shake (rs249) : Kit Kat lovers will rejoice having this..The thickness and the consistency is really good with a really lasting taste of the Kitkat..<br/><br/>The Food overall is a sure winner with almost negligible rectifications..The Cream Sauce base is there speciality and am sure to try it again in my next visit along with the clear winner of the meal - Khao Suey...The Service too is good but just that the waiting time on pizzas can me improved also would like to add that the the preparation of pizzas was spot on..The Ambiance is another highlight of the place and something that needs to be experienced..A place to spend some good time with family and Friends - Totally Recommended...

Hey TMF, <br/>First up Great ambiance with beautiful greeny garden. It looks like beautiful banglow. Actually this is my second visit. Last year i came here with my family. Now everything was changed including menu. We ordered juices and starters, especially the crispy lotes steam and orange chicken was great. And we had khou suay chicken, chicken tikka pizza (11 inch) and DBC dessert. We really enjoyed the food and atmosphere, service too. Thank you.. Will come soon.

Mayflower is the restaurant constructed out of an olden bungalow. The place is so comfy and cool. Service was friendly and little bit slow. The seven cheese pizza was amazing. One must try their Dim sums. Dessert the orange darsan flambe is outstanding. <br/><br/>Loved the ambience.
Arulmozhi Nandakumar
A breezy sunny afternoon is best spent with cosy company and mayflower's Khao suey. Hot and pipping bowl of delicately balanced coconut milk based wholesome dish that I constantly keep craving to go back for. If you are a cheese lover definitely order the seven cheese pizza with blue cheese and a condiment of flavours. It tastes as delicious as sin. We ordered it twice. Among the startes we devoured the crispy Prawns and Lotus stem. The panner tikka was average and I wouldn't reccomend it too much. The creamy chicken soup is your mom's love brought in a bowl to comfort your senses to bliss. So creamy yet delicately textured and not heavy in the mouth. The white sauce paste was another great hit among the diners. We would have loved more options in desserts. The kit kat milkshake is a definite must taste. Try and skip the charcoal latte. It has seen better days. <br/>Ambience :11/10<br/>Service: 4/10 (too slow to my taste)<br/>Food: 8/10<br/>Beverage :6/10

Mayflower is a restaurant constructed out of an olden day house bungalow. It retains a lot of old world heritage and tradifion and that seemed pretty appealing about the place. It is pretty spacious and you even have a compound space stacked up with books comprising the autobiographies of interesting personalities. The white pastel shades and the plants in the background give it an interesting touch.<br/><br/>The restaurant is largely multicuisine tapering into a broadway of cuisines ranging from continental, european, american, Italian, Asian, Mediterranean and more. It doesn't stick to one particular nook but handling a finer variety of fare didn't seem to be hampering on the quality in any way.<br/><br/>We started our coarse with a broccoli soup. It was green and thick with laces of cheese stinged in. It had a rich taste and came well served up in a mug. On the appetisers section the dimsums comprising inset water chestnut, corn & brocolli were minced well and went really well with the range of dips. The crispy American corn as well as the lotus stems as the name suggested were crispy and well cooked. We also tried a Jamaican Panneer skewers which were a tad disappointing. The pieces were a bit hard and the taste didn't come out apparently.<br/><br/>The real show stealers were however on the main course section where virtually each of the items we encountered fought for bragging rights to be the best of the lot. The seven cheese pizza was marvellous. It was insanely cheesy with different variants and it a joy pulling and playing with the pizza not to mention the delectable taste. We also tried an exotica pizza in addition as half and half along with another seven cheese version and this too was nice loaded with a mix of veggies and was also really cheesy. The one which smeared the aroma and roused the taste buds were however the khow suey. It had a fantastic smattering taste with the Burmese aroma being really rich with a fine essence of coconut cream and this was insanely enjoyable. We also got to slurp a creamy pasta.This was a make your own version where we went with cream sauce, penne and a tinge of veggies. It was really cheesy with the contents floating along dangling and dancing around and the tasted amazing.<br/><br/>In the desserts section, their stock is limited with just two specialised items namely the Orange Darsan Flambe and the Death by Chocolate. The former was quite nice with the orange essence over the crisp noodly pieces giving a lovely fine taste. The latter was decent but nothing much to rave about. I believe very soon there will be a few more specific stuff added to the attic. The drinks, beverage and shakes however are considerable in number. Amongst the ones tried, the Kit Kat shake easily stood out.<br/><br/>The service was friendly and suggestive. The pace of time taken to bring the items could be improved marginally as we had to encounter some waiting time. They are competitively priced and for the quality which you get as output seems justifiable. On the whole,a restaurant that specialises on a lot of stuff and also succeeds. Definitely worthy of giving a shot.

This resto-cafe is quite spacious has an upper seating area too with gud background n artistic walls n swings everywre which attracted me.🥰.Relished their juicy burgers with few fries and shakes. The pasta served was yumm and filling. They also serve momos n some seafood too. My favorite of the evening was their orange zest dessert which was a really new dish.
Soundarya Kumar
This place is so great. Every corner is Instagram worthy to take pictures. Friendly staffs . Dim sums are very good. I loved chicken skewers and chicken Dim sums. Dessert Death by Chocolate is so awesome and one shouldn't miss this !!
Murali Kalpana
The ambiance here is really good. Specially the backyard. The best khou suay we have ever had.

Keep it up !!  Nice place to hangout with friends. Looking forward to our next visit.

The service was polite and courteous. A great bohemian cafe in T Nagar @ prime location with enough space for parking available. Good atmosphere, Beautiful ambiance with proper seating arrangements and Friendly staff. Crispy items with delightful taste. It was a perfect dinner today at the cafe.
Siddhanth Jain
We had ordered 5 Veg dishes out of which only the burger was worth eating. Was very disappointed with the size of the portions. Definitely not worth the money. Would not recommend if you're a vegetarian.
Alex Roy
I heard this cafe from my friend.  He referred me, i came with my wife. First the ambiance its really good. We had great time there actually. Love to go back for more, thanks for this great experience.
Jatin Khanted
The best cafe in town. Hands down! The Italian dishes were lovely and delicious. Hope they create more and more new item to surprise us! And thanks Mayflower for this wonderful experience!

Yesterday I went there with my friends really exited, the ambiance was wow amazing. Looks Gorgeous! We had 2/3 Broccoli soup, prawn tempura, muttaibonda and mountain chilli chicken.  But one of my friend Rokkie, he is actually veggie person so he had veg mountain chilli with baby corn. Then we ordered khou-suay, fried rice, Thai red curry and seven cheese pizza.  We love the pizza, it's actually so good. Finally dessert came, Really we enjoyed our day with mayflower.

Stopped by “The Mayflower” on a Saturday afternoon and it was almost jam packed. The ambience is cute and service by the staff was good, though a bit slow.We tried the following:Cream of broccoli and cheese soup- was okay. If you like the flavor of broccoli, you may like it more perhaps.Cajun Paneer Skewers- we actually asked for their signature Crispy Lotus Stem but they didn’t have it then. So we settled for this. Average.Khao Suey- not very impressed with the above two dishes, we went in for their vegetarian khao suey and it totallyyyy made the visit worth it! A must try! Swiss hot chocolate- tasted great as well!

The staff was moving the furniture around by dragging it and it was extremely annoying. We went over the weekend and they were clearly not able to manage the croud and the food took too long to arrive .

A really artistic place and a very instagrammable cafe. The khao suey, a burmese speciality, looks absolutely gobsmacking and is an explosion of flavours when had with all the condiments. The noodles are well mixed in the creamy coconut based curry which is not too heavy but fulfilling. The creaminess from the curry is well balanced by the crispy noodles, fried garlic and onion and peanuts. The heat from the chilli oil and a squeeze of lemon counteracts the sweetness of the curry. The coriander adds a touch of freshness. The assorted bruschetta was good but not a standout.

The moment I saw a picture of Burmese Khow Suey from The Mayflower restaurant in one of the food groups, I had made up my mind to visit this place at the first possible opportunity.  In fact, it took much longer than I expected.  Also came to know that The MadChef aka Chef Koushik Shankar was the consulting Chef here and the brain behind this, I was all the more eager to try it.

The Mayflower is currently one of the most happening places in Chennai and pretty much everyone I know has either been there already and I was slightly late to the party.<br/>With a speciality of Dimsums being the central feature here, we tried quite a few variety of them including Spinach & Corn Dumpling and Chocolate Momos(Don't miss this) for dessert .<br/>Other items that we tried were French onion soup, Crispy Lotus Stem (definitely recommended) and Mezze Platter (Almost perfect).<br/>Walking in with no expectations, this came as a superb delight to me as all items were prepared really well<br/>Coming to the ambience, it's redecorated inside a beautiful house and absolutely Insta Worthy for some classy pics on the foyer. Definitely recommend it for a lovely dinner!

Went on a Sunday afternoon for lunch. It's a house converted into a restaurant. Love the ambience. Refreshing with lots of plants all over which goes very well with the choice of wall paint and decor. Seating is comfortable and spaced out well. Ordered broccoli cream soup, lotus stem appetizer, Spaghetti Aglio e Olio and Thai green curry. The soup was super creamy and the shredded cheese melted beautifully. The lotus stem starter was super crispy and tasted so good. The Aglio e Olio I felt today was not fully cooked and more bland than usual. We had requested to cancel the order and he was more than willing to cancel it. The Tahi green curry rice was the best. The flavor was just perfect and rice also soo well cooked. The portion size I felt was big and hence just the three were too much for two people. Hence, could not sample the desert. Overall, great value for money and much appreciation to the staffs. Definitely coming back another time.

Lovely ambience to go with the delicious food. Tried the Mayflower pizza and the pesto pasta - both were good. The mountain chilli chicken and prawn were drool worthy. We also ordered their famous khao Sui(my friend mixed it before I could take a pic ☹️) which lived up to the hype, It was creamy and crisp and overall delicious.

Mayflower has been in my bucket list for quite sometime and finally got an opportunity to go today. Place was lovely with pretty much maintaining a house like feel. Simple and nice.. menu was limited but interesting.. we ordered for Veg coins, egg fritters, aglio pasta, chicken burger, and mijitos... Food tastes decent and the quantity was good.. but the waiting time was forever.. would be great if they can make that a little shorter.. overall it's a neat place and worth trying.

Loved the ambience, never knew the place even existed though crossed the same lane many a times. Good food but never got to eat the specials based on zomato reviews. Excellent idea of placing game boards which is also open for the kids to keep playing without knocking off others or making huge sounds.<br/><br/>Definitely will be updating this part upon revisiting the place again.

First off, beautiful place with great choice of decor. Went here for dinner on a weekday.Good we decided to make a reservation beforehand as almost all tables were full.<br/><br/>We went for an order of swiss hot chocolate,jamaican fish skewers,mountain chilli babycorn to start our meal.The hot chocolate was average.The jamaican fish skewers had two skewers with four cubes of fish each - taste was good but felt quantity couldve been more.The mountain chilli babycorn was batter fried babycorn thrown in with spices, capsicum,onion etc and was pretty good.<br/><br/>For the main course, we ordered a veg pink pasta and a veg mayflower exotica pizza.The pasta was again average- tasted more or less like red sauce.The pizza was thin crusted but was heavily burnt at the ends.The cheese,sauce and topings were perfect though.<br/><br/>Because the pizza was better,we went for another pizza,this time paneer tikka.Had to ask for it twice as it took a lot of time.Again the crust was burnt and the sauce,cheese were all dripping.It was very sloppy and gooey - not something you would expect in a pizza!The topping was too spicy and wasn't good. We struggled to finish even a single slice per person and left the rest untouched.<br/><br/>Wanted a relief from the heat and asked for a chocolate overload dessert.It was a layered chocolate cake with vanilla icecream.The good thing was the cake wasn't heavy and too chocolaty.It was served slightly warm and was probably the best order of the night.<br/><br/>The service was slow and we had to gesture multiple times for somebody to clear our plates or take our order.All this inspite of the fact that we were seated right across the billing desk. Overall,nothing really impressed us much barring the ambience.

Every dish I ordered here was good except peri peri chicken wings. It was up to the mark. And the quantity of deep purple dimsum is not satisfactory for the cost they charge.
Abhishek Ranjith
Went here for lunch with my wife. The restaurant is actually a renovated house and it had a nice ambience. We ordered the following three dishes: 1) 🍢 Chicken Satay 4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The chicken was good and had an authentic asian flavour. The yellow dip that came along with it was really nice. 2) 🍢 Jamaican Fish Skewers 2/5 ⭐⭐ The flavours of the spices were not complimenting the fish. 3) 🍜 Veg Khow Suey 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best out of all the things we ordered. The noodles came in a creamy coconut milk gravy and the condiments were fresh. It was a traditional recipie that was bang on. Would go back just to have this Khow Suey. It is a must try.

This cafe features in so many lists - Romantic, Themed, Chennai's finest ... - well, it is romantic, themed and it's got the best khao suey ever! They've got snug decor and warm service - add to that their delicious Khao Suey - and voila - you have found yourself a good-to-visit restaurant in Chennai. <br/><br/>We dropped by on a busy afternoon, and were received courteously. Hungry as always, we placed our orders without delay - Chicken Popcorn, Lotus Stem and a Hot Chocolate. 'Twas quite a busy day, so the orders took time to come in. The Chicken Popcorn was average - nothing to talk about here. The same goes for the hot chocolate. <br/><br/>Later, we ordered a Cottage Cheese steak and Khao Suey. Now - while everything else was average, the Khao Suey was the BEST I've ever had. It was comfort in a bowl - if you could have 'snuggle up on a cold afternoon' in a bowl, this would be it! It was heavenly. So much so, that Bharat, who doesn't even like chicken had half the dish! And the portion size is HUGE! It's meant for two, I believe.<br/><br/>Anywho - guys, if you like Khao Suey, or the idea of it, Mayflower is your spot.

Food was really tasty and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The quantity was less for the price offered. But overall a good experience.
Anshul Shrivastava
Had the best dim sums of my life Here. The purple dimsums were so well stuffed and the colour made it look all the more attractive. The service was quick. Got instant table confirmation for an advance booking. Sweet ambience. Highly recommended for those who have a taste in Asian food.
Anshika Bharti
Good ambience & board games make it more fun. While non vegetarians could enjoy some items, vegetarian group wasn't happy with the flavours. Service was a bit slow too!
Hussain Lehri
Even though they had not confirmed a booking I made on zomato they still arranged a table within 5 minutes. Well done on the service guys. Food was fantastic. Loved all the dishes ordered.<br/>Must try - Khao suey

The Mayflower. Even from the outside looking in, the cafe feels like a place outside time, its own special feeling taking over you when you’re there. First impressions are important, and the Mayflower definitely makes a captivating one. Tasteful, distinctive decor is the norm here. The place feels wooden, rustic, yet at the same time, nothing is too distracting from the main agenda of a visit here… the food.<br/><br/>Moving on to that - the food at the Mayflower is plated perfection.<br/><br/>The French onion soup was delectable, perfect right down to the temperature, just right for drinking. It was very light, just the way a soup should be. There was a generous amount of vegetables in it, cooked well and frankly delicious (atleast for a veggie lover such as myself). There was zucchini, carrot, baby corn, and, obviously, onion along with French beans, and sliced mushrooms.<br/><br/>The mushroom dumplings were steaming hot and extremely tasty - with three kinds of sauce for accompaniment, and paper thin skin, loaded with filling.<br/><br/>The peri peri fries were a bit soft for my liking, but perfectly spiced. The chefs are great at presentation, and the portion size is gratuitous. If you’re looking to eat dinner here, don’t eat lunch… or you’re going to regret not being able to eat all the things you order!<br/><br/>The bruschetta platter - the bruschettas had perfectly toasted bread, and great fillings (olives, tomatoes, mushrooms and cheese).<br/><br/>If you can only have one starter I'd pick the crispy American corn - it's an absolutely genius dish, laid on a bed of cabbage and decorated with some genius looking carrot flowers, and I had to restrain myself from eating so much of it because I still hadn’t gotten to the main course.<br/><br/>As for drinks, the watermelon caprioska is pretty damn good, with a little bite of ginger and mint, very refreshing and a great accompaniment. The leprechaun margherita was perfect, sweet while still striking a great balance in the salty portions.<br/><br/>For the main course, we had the chicken Khao Suey and the Veg Moon Fan Fried Rice.<br/><br/>Both are unskippable dishes - the Khao Suey is literal heaven on a plate, served with nine kinds of topping (including roasted garlic, fried onions, peanuts, chopped spring onions… the list goes on.) The broth is rich, creamy, delicious, and it has two kinds of noodles - crispy and soft. The chicken chunks were soft and delicious, cooked to melt-in-the-mouth perfection. There’s a whole hard-boiled egg in there too, if all this wasn’t enough. Long story short, your taste buds will thank you after you eat this, but you’re going to have to hit the gym pretty hard.<br/><br/>The Moon Fan fried rice is a simpler dish although not lacking in ingredients, with many vegetables, and three kinds of mushrooms. The rice is fragrant and well-spiced, steaming hot when it arrives, and the dish overall is a (much) healthier alternative to the Khao Suey.<br/><br/>Overall, the Mayflower is an excellent, excellent choice whether it be for a quiet, luxurious dinner, a fun day out with friends, or even a family lunch, and I recommend checking it out whenever you are in the area, especially since a meal here definitely isn’t going to break the bank, with their family-friendly pricing.

Mayflower Café in T Nagar is located in a nice booth bungalow with lovely ambiance. <br/>First up, we had the Basil soup, crispy lotus stem, Chicken Money bag, Chicken Dimsum and Moon fan fried rice. The Dimsum was amazing, i loved the food. Totally my rating is 5/5. And one final good thing is here lot of parking spaces available with valley.
