Very satiating yet leaving for wanting more kinda experience....
Rates are reasonable but provide very quantity of mutton in Curry and fried option.
Different flavors than chettinad, siders weren't tasted.
Even owner didn't wish to reveal which style of cuisine it was 😜😜
Whatever it was, one of best ever had....
One of the famous in Chennai. Though there is no parking facility available.. you will find enough space to fit in inside.
Coming to food.. had vanjram fry, chicken sukka, mutton meals, one fish meal and a mutton biriyani.
All mutton pieces well cooked and tasted gud with mild in masala..
Their Vanjram was top notch and it was purely fried in coconut oil..tasted soo gud.
All the other items tasted equally gud.
Worth every penny.
Everything here is super tasty and well cooked with love. So just dig in onto your vanjaram or try the mutton curry! Everything is yummy!
Went there on a busy Wednesday. The place was super packed. Got a table in 10 minutes are standing behind someone finishing up (Am sure they must have had stomach pain because on us looking at their food lustfully lol). The second we sat down we were served in minutes.. Ordered mutton curry meals along with Prawns, Mutton Sukka, Vanjaram Fry, Brain Fry & Omlets.. All this came like in 6 minutes except for the Omlets which took a little time but was out of the world... Strongly recommend this place..
Absolutely love this place! Hot steam white rice is unlimited refill. There were two levels in the restaurant and I went to the second level with is with AC. The grilled fish was delicious, crispy and tender. However, it’s was quite pricey compared to other food. I am not sure if it’s because of the AC room or it’s an upmarket restaurant. We didn’t see the menu, so we just got the total price at the end.
It was a bit difficult for us to find this place but it’s a hidden gem for sure!
This place is a GOLDMINE for meat lovers. Try the amazing meat fries, and curries. All the side dishes have unique flavours. I always have the mutton fry which is spicy, it goes really well the mutton curry meal which is creamy and really mild. The prawn fries have a rich coconut essence that really gets your mood up!
Nair mess Situated in a narrow lane near Chepauk, Chennai.The place gets crowded in the afternoon too soon that recommend you to reach atleast by 12.30- 1 pm. They serves varieties of sea food dishes as well as non veg dishes.The quantity is comparatively less for the price we pay but the quality is really good. Definitely a worth try. The fish fry is a must try
Myself and my friend visit Nair mess in Triplicane especially to try their non veg foods which is famous for cooking in coconut oil.We ordered below non veg items.
1) Non Veg meals
2) Fish Gravy (Coconut oil)
3) Fish Fry (Coconut oil)
4) Egg omelette (Coconut oil)
5) Prawn (Coconut oil)
6) Mutton brain
Non Veg meals was served with mutton gravy,chicken gravy,rasam,butter milk and two vegetables, the taste was really good and you can feel the cocconut oil dominates
the dish and once that touches your tongue you will feel the great taste of Nair mess.
The dish quantity was very less and not sufficient, but the taste was superb.I would recommend that everyone should try this restaurtant.
Happy Eating!
Maze through the lane opposite to MAMC Cricket stadium, you would arrive at nair mess. Order fish or chicken dishes alongside meals. You will feel that the price you pay is worth. Fish fry and fish kolombu is famous and all non veg ingredients are fresh. They don’t use artificial coloring agents as well.
I was already late to dine-in at the legendary, much hyped, Nair Mess in Triplicane; but nevertheless finally made it here.
The modest 'mess-style' restaurant is tucked away within a narrow unassuming street in the MCC vicinity.
Food is served in traditional banana leaves and a variety of non-veg options are available. Try the prawn thokku and liver fry.... simply yummm... Paya is also worth a try.
Expect local Chennai standards of service and ambience is best ignored.
Service: 3.2/5

The mess is located opposite to the Chepauk stadium and is an excellent option for lunch and has a different varieties of vegetarian and non vegetarian side dishes Tried the fish gravy, chicken and mutton gravy as well as the prawns roast.The fried fish was one of the best dishes. All these dishes were so hot which gave it a special taste . They served in banana leaf which adds to the aesthetic! It is difficult to reach the place however it is worth the visit. Also parking is difficult. Better is to park along the main road and walk till the place. The place is always crowded and their food has a huge demand. The early you come the more easier it is to find a seat
Food is awesome and the way they treated us and each and every customer as friendly and regular customers.
We tried mutton fry/Fish fry/prawn thokku.
Quantity is very less to have and prices are got higher from.the last visit before covid.
Now the ambience is quite better and we could see a lot of regular customers in the Nair mess.
One of the most wanted to try non veg hotels in Chennai.
Negative feedback for parking
As they don't have parking for this hotel even for 2 wheelers we have to park on the street.
"Nair Mess in Chennai stole my heart! Indulged in their heavenly vegetarian meal and savored the exquisite 2-piece King Fish. As a passionate traveler, this experience is one for the books! A must-visit destination for all food enthusiasts!"
If you are on your way to Marina Beach from the Chepauk Stadium side and want to try an authentic experience dining on a Banana Leaf , please hop in to NAIR MESS, their Mutton Biryani hits the spot just right, and ask for fish fry along with it, you will have an eventful flavour full experience on a fine lunch.
The place has history written all over it, from the by-lane that it's located in, to the way the restaurant is laid out. I can imagine what it must have been when the legendary MGR may have visited here.
The food was average, they served me a beetroot prep, a mixed veg prep and a fish gravy to go with the steamed rice. And of course the pickle. I ordered a seer fish fry to 'indulge'. The fish fry and the first curry were nice although the vegetarian options were average at best. Oh yes, and I also called for an omelette alongside (not in the pic) as everyone around me was ordering one. Well, one can't go wrong with a freshly made masala omelette, complete with fresh green chillie, yummmm!
The service team were Bengalis, speaking in tamil 🤩, they seemed totally localised and full of energy and speed.
Overall a nice place to experience!

Quantity is okay but taste is good.
Vanjaram fry is best. Costly but must try.
They serve all varieties.
500rs per person if u are a foodie like me.
Who wants to try three to four varieties.
Nair mess is one of the best restaurants in and around the M A Chidambaram stadium locality. The food which they serve is authentic South Indian cuisine. I also love the taste and the hospitality. You get stomach full of food in a very decent amount. Love the non-veg meal in particular (Rice, Fish Curry, omelettes, prawns fry, chicken 65, mutton 65, rasam, and so on..) they also have biriyani and other parota as well! A must visit restaurant if you’re looking for a homely meal!
An authentic kerla food served in banana leaf 🌿
Amazing feel and very pleasant staff.
The food is delicious, you should try their prawns masala, omelet, chicken 65, surmai fry and a few other items all were delightful to have.
Must visit here with family very neat clean with a real mess lunch feeling.
Amazing experience.
Briyani was good . All side dish are great especially prawn and brain. Meals we didn't like that much.
Awesome hotel especially for vanjaram fish. Literally you can see a vanjaram / king fish in every plate in this restaurant. Must try and also other items like chicken 65, mutton and much more. Nice hotel and must visit in chennai if u r a non veg lover.
Rating 4/5 since crowd management is bad and non ordered. Needs a token system or proper waiting system to understand the crowd when they will get the table next. We are forced to wait for long and be desperate for a table on our own which is bad and May irriatate some people. Especially large families.
Otherwise it’s the awesome hotel !
