Went to this beautiful looking restaurant in Chennai yesterday night . Was out with my colleagues and my Franchisee Sam. The only options to drink in Chennai is to go to either a 3-5 star hotel because serving alcohol in the state of Chennai is banned . So Sam suggested he take us to a really beautiful place..
Driving to the crazy Chennai's traffic (wasn't missing mumbai's traffic much) was peace full cause I was driven around vis -a -vie me driving bck home in mumbai. Went past Adyar ( a suburb of Chennai) we we driving on the famous ECR ( East Coast Road) ..this road lines the second longest Beach stretch in the word .5-6 km driving sam took a detour towards the beach.. went past beautiful bungalows of the affluent of Chennai. then drove on a sandy stretch past Krish Shrikanths house ( famous Indian Cricketer) to this beautiful beach front place called Tangy .
It was drizzling in Chennai and the weather was beautiful.
We were guided by the restaurants manager who obliged us by giving us a table on the upper deck .
The crowd surprisingly was 98% male (which was a downer) and some kiddie females . But we were here to drink ;) .
Music played by a Dj was techno and house with a lille retro thrown in . After getting a table we were hurriedly asked to place the order as 2230 hrs is the last order for the food. You could get your booze till 2330hrs. We were suggested by the order taker to indulge in the non -veg and veg platters ... Portions were good but nothing really fancy about the food . The Non-Veg platter had 2 crumb fried chicken wings , crispy honey sesame chicken threads( over loaded with honey) , 4 small triangles of sesame prawn toasts, chili chicken and Fish Fingers.
The Veg Platter had a spring roll cut into 4 , batter fried corn , Paneer(cottage cheese) chilli and some more which i didnt have because it was polised by hungry hounds (lol).
for the main course we ordered Chettinad chicken with buttered rice , Asian Noodles with chicken and Rodehouse Steak .
The chettinad chicken gravy was good and the best of all that we had ordered. The Asian Noodles was like any other Bastardised Chinese Noodles that we would find in a Grade A restaurant. The Roadhouse steak is avoidable . It was a lump of unevenly minced meat pan fried to a patty ...served a peppery brown sauce ,buttered rice ,some buttered veggies and some french Fries.
Prices were like 300INR for the Steak ,INR250 for the Chettinad Chicken & the Noodles .I did not see the menu for the beverages so don't know the price of the booze as I was not allowed to pay.
I would definitely go back for its ambiance and most importantly to click some pics as I had forgotten to carry my Cam from the Hotel.
