About Chettinad Restaurant

Authentic
South Indian Cuisine

Welcome to Chettinad – A Journey into the Heart of South India.

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.

No meal is complete without a traditional Dosa, a crispy, golden lentil pancake enjoyed at any time of day. This isn’t just another curry house. If you’ve never experienced South Indian cuisine before, this is the perfect place to start your delicious journey.

In Chettinad, meals are traditionally served on fresh banana leaves, eaten by hand to connect with the food in a direct, sensory way. We honour that tradition here, too — select dishes come served on banana leaves, to bring you a truly authentic experience.

We are grateful you’ve chosen to dine with us and have trusted us with your palate. In return, we promise to treat your taste buds to a culinary adventure where every bite delivers a burst of flavour and a touch of magic.

Welcome to Chettinad – Where Quality Meets Tradition. Enjoy your meal.
