Chettinad (Fitzrovia)

• It serves south Indian cuisine so you will find vegetarian and non vegetarian dishes on the extensive menu along with the more traditional dosa's and Idli's
• My Experience with the dosa's wasn't great
• A lovely restaurant specialising in South Indian food with extremely friendly and attentive staff
• The huge variety of food is all very well prepared and served in moderately sized portions
• Went last night with a visitor from overseas
• The service was impeccable
• We wanted a restaurant that was not uncomfortably 'posh' or formal
• The restaurant was more than happy to make up a special combo for us at no extra charge
• It was clear that our pleasure in the meal was important to the waiters and owners
• The dining room is comfortable and spacious
• It was reassuringly busy but the service was excellent and swift
• Nice flavours and the prices were slightly on the higher side
• Lunch there is a very reasonably priced At dinner
• The one improvement that could be made is the speed of service
• I would advice sticking to the curries instead just because the latter is harder to find in London especially good quality ones like they have here
• The Lamb Chettinad was very nicely spiced
• I feel Chettinad is a bit of a hidden gem
• The food is very authentic and there is plenty of options to choose from
• The service is fantastic and the atmosphere is great
• I went here few days back with my friends
• I went here with a group of friend yesterday and we all were totally impressed by Chettinad (Fitzrovia)
• Chettinad (Fitzrovia) has the best south Indian food
• I tried Chettinad (Fitzrovia) with a friend of mine few days ago and I am planning to visit this again soon
• We had the lunch special deals and it was so reasonably and great
• My friend took me here and she was a regular here and loved Chettinad (Fitzrovia)
• We popped in for a quick lunch on a weekend and it was surprisingly empty they are apparently busier during dinner so I've been told
• We ordered the Plain Dosa and Onion Rava Masala Dosa which was filled with potato masala and served with coconut chutney and sambar
• We ordered one main curry dish to share which was the Chettinadu Aadu a lamb dish cooked in traditional Chettinadu masala
• The portions were big enough for the both of us and we both particularly enjoyed the Onion Rava Masala Dosa (tasty and also really filling
• I have to say that service was quite slow considering that there was only us and another table with two people
• Even though this is from a place famous for non vegetarian cuisine
• Their vegetarian options are pretty good
• Kept feeling like the staff was grumpy that we were there
• Best to make reservations as it was quite crowed
• My Vegan friend was accommodated too
• The complexity of flavours is still present
• The staff is very comfortable with their menu and love explaining the subtle differences to non Indian visitors
• Recommending I avoid the fried fish as it was fried in the same oil as the prawns (which I'm allergic to)
• Let the wait staff know your spice tolerance and protein choices and let them recommend the best combination for you
• The service is also pretty nice
• Since I'm from India I understand how Indian food is supposed to be
• Indians who are missing home and other people who wanna try Indian food
• I opted for Paratha instead of rice that too was so thin and cold
• Sambhar and Chatni was fine but other two veggies doesnt have any distinct taste seems like they added too much of Masala
• Waiter Arun was very welcoming and very friendly
• We would definitely return without a doubt when we are in the area again
