Chennai Café

Several years ago when we visited Dallas, we had been to their other branch in Irving (now closed) and we liked it. So when we visited Dallas this time, we wanted to go and have lunch here. We had visited the Karya siddhi Hanuman temple in the morning and it was not very far from there, so we decided to eat here. The buffet was good with a lot of options, a bit on the higher side - about 17 bucks per head and 12 for kids. I loved the idli and vada + sambar. Had masala Dosa, naan and curries. Pongal was tasty. The sweets were great as well - had gulab jamun, payasam and badushah. I also had their masala chai - was so fully stuffed by the time we finally left.

Authentic Indian taste especially south Indian. No compromise on the taste. Basically, this is an unlimited buffet. The resturant has a large Indoor seating area. You will find variety of Indian food. You do get good vegetarian options here. Neat clean and well organized. Today (Friday) I visited the place and I paid 20.55 $ per person. As veg options: Appam with coconut milk, Dosa, idli, daal vada, coconut chutney, sambar, green chutney, curd rice, paneer curry, paani poori, bhel puri, pappad puri, noolappam (idiyappam), chola bhattura, baby corn, veg korma, raitha, and more.... Non veg side: biriyani, non veg curries, crab.. On sweet side: Gheer, bhoondi, rasgula,... You have plenty of items available and trust me you never feel disappointed.. Good ambiance too..

Chennnai Cafe has been my favorite restaurant for years for great southern Indian buffet. Best in town for service and food. On Fridays, they have cooked to order Dosa included in the buffet. I highly recommend for fantastic Indian cuisine.

Food - 4/5
Service - 4/5
Ambience -5/5
Live counters stole the show.
Service was good . The space could be more between the buffets .
More non veg options than veg
Loved the south indian breakfast .

Went to this restaurant on Sankranthi(pongal) festival. They had a buffet and the number of items and food was good. Their appam was tasty and other dishes tasted good too. Ordered the thali second time for carryout this time. The food was ok but not so tasty as first time. The price looks bit higher specially for thali carryout. This place is busy and had to wait for about 30 mins outside after the scheduled pickup time. Overall, I would recommened to try this restaurant once
