Pepper restaurant AnnaNagar, Chennai review

Had been to the Pepper restaurant Chinese, Chettinad and Tandoor on Sunday Afternoon with my family, It is on same lane next Nalas Appa kadai, on the same building of Dynasty – the Chinese restaurant. The earlier Kayal which just got replaced by Pepper restaurant.

Now to the food items, Corn Soup as usual, nothing great about it, but delicious. Starter was Chicken Tikka, and for the main course we had 2 butter naan, 1 plain biryani and the side dish was Kadai Chicken.

Chicken tikka was good, was spicy and little crispy would have made it interesting. Plain Biryani should serve one but the Kadai chicken gravy was too less, but chicken pieces offered was fleshy and good. I expect them to increase the gravy part as a family we adjusted to clear the butter naan from our table.

The place is clean, spacious and children friendly, the high rise of sofas offers good privacy.

Price, for a middle class family it would be apt on their pocket with this kind of ambiance it should a pleasurable experience.

Rating: 3/5. 200/Head should be a great deal. I am yet to try their complete menus. It is just an another multicusine kind of restaurant but pocket friendly.

Dynasty restaurant, Chinese – AnnaNagar, Chennai

Dynasty Chinese Restaurant at AnnaNagar, Chennai, I move around this place so often to fill petrol for my car, some time for shopping at Yeses and even use to hang around with my friends near the church but completely missed this place a thousand and one times, because the name board was placed in an odd place, until recently my friend picked up an food order from Kayal, the malayali restaurant. Dynasty is at the second floor of that same building.

So as usual I started with dragon chicken and one more starter was Kon… chicken (forgot the name) after which I ordered for ginger pepper onion chicken as gravy for the vegetable fried rice and Veg hakka noodles.

My family just loved the food, the taste was good, and ambiance is good, decently lit. Place is neat and spacious. Well the dragon chicken was not crispy, still the taste was as good as the Wangs Kitchen. Yes, I was aware of the quantity of fried rice served, It should serve two people. Service is good. Bit pricey.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Budget: 300/ Person approximately.

The Canton Chinese Restaurant @ Nugambakkam, Chennai

The canton is small and nice Chinese restaurant at Nungambakkam, just next to Ganpath and it is on the basement. I had been to this place last Sunday, but didn’t really enjoy my lunch. I ordered for Spicy Jade Veg soup, Dragon Chicken as a starter and for the main course West Lake Spicy Chicken and Veg Fried rice. Guess What?

The base preparation for Dragon Chicken and West Lake spicy Chicken was the same, stuffed in Maida, I guess it is common preparation, when guest order for any chicken item, the pull out few pieces and prepare it dry or gravy. The gravy item was little slimy, but didn’t taste bad. The dragon chicken was crispy some pieces were not properly cooked. I did feel the same at the Cascade, it was delicious.

This time I was bit cautious when ordering fried rice, I really took care in understanding the amount be served. Yeah, it serves 2 people.

In spite of the place been small there is no comfort from the sofa and the chairs, Stern sofa which are erect at 90 degrees and it needs proper cleaning too. Ambiance is OK, properly lit apart from the Chinese dragon framed photos these is no Chinese from this place.

Service is good, you get proper answer on the quantity being served, the waiters are humble enough to extend their service when your plates are getting empty, they serve with a good smile.

I have tried the dragon chicken at these places too Shanshi @ AnnaNagar, Kim Ling @ AnnaNagar, The Cascade @ AnnaNagar and The Wangs @ AnnaNagar and @ Velachery. If it has to be dragon chicken it has either has to be The Cascade or The Wangs Kitchen @ Velachery.

Rating: 3 stars out of 5
Price: 250 / Head approximately

The Cascade, Chinese Restaurant @ AnnaNagar, Chennai

If it has to be Chinese food @ AnnaNagar you can count on "The Cascade" too, I will be posting on couple of Chinese restaurants review in the coming days.

Remember that crowded Saravana Bhavan at the 2nd Avenue, the road which leads to Pazumudir Cholai, just opposite you will find Arun Ice cream parlour at the top is our favourite Chinese Restaurant The Cascade.

Bit pricey at the same time you get good quality and quanity food. I was bit taken away when I ordered for fried rice and Malaysian Noodles, We were just four of us out of which one was toddler who is just a year and above. Just the fried rice was actually more than enough to serve 4 people, I ended up carrying the rest of the food to home.

Very important: So when you order, please ask them about the quantity they serve. They just take orders.

Ambience is really good, neat, spacious and good service, but you need a fat wallet. You can notice that I had very little trouble with my younger son. If the place is cramped, I wouldn’t have taken few Photos of the Restaurant. The sofa was cosy and comfortable, neat and odour less, that entertained him a lot.

My rating would be 4 stars out of 5.
300 INR/ Person average
