Chettinad, a culturally rich village in Tamil Nadu, South India, is renowned for its bold, vibrant, and unforgettable cuisine. Our restaurant brings that heritage to the heart of Central London, offering a no-fuss, no-frills, laid-back dining experience where the focus is simple: honest, home-style South Indian food made with love.
At Chettinad, every dish is freshly prepared to order, embodying the comforting flavours of South Indian home cooking. Our approach to service is warm, humble, and genuine, just like the food we serve.
The food is fantastic, especially the dosa. Try the Maragu Koli and the Thengai Aadu Kullambu curries. One of the best curries in London - certainly different to your average tandoori but no more expensive. The staff are always very attentive and friendly, especially the manager. Always a great visit!
We had a wonderful dinner at Chettinad. We had a delicious bottle of Pinot Grigio, two appetizers, four curries, two orders of rice (tomato and lemon), and two different kinds of bread, for only 89 pounds, including a 12.5% gratuity. Every dish was flavourful and absolutely fabulous. Service was attentive and friendly. We were very happy we found the restaurant on Trip Advisor and trusted the reviews.
We turned up last night without a reservation, and there were 13 of us.... The charming waiters at Chettinad snapped into action and had us seated within minutes. They were polite, attentive and very accommodating! As if the outstanding service wasn't enough, the food was truly delicious to boot. We shared a variety of dishes, each one bursting with colour and flavour.
