Arasappar, Nandanam, Mount Road, Chennai

This is a restaurant, which can seat around 75 pax is air-conditioned and serves Chettinad cuisine.
Chettinad cuisine is primarily non-vegetarian (although there are a number of vegetarian items that are normally do not find the menus of these Chettinad restaurants) and consists of spicy (green chili, red chili or peper based) food which could either be dry or a gravy.
A plate of Aapam (a pancake made with fermented rice flour and without oil), parotta (pan fried milled wheat bread), a paya (lamb shanks in a mildly spicy gravy) and chicken Chettinadu (an onion, tomato, garlic and red chili based gravy) cost around INR 300/-.
The food was excellent and the quantity was more than adequate, especially considering the price. The only problem with the place was the dim lighting which was way too dim.
Reco - do visit for good, value for money, Chettinad food
