Erode Amman Mess

Excellent food. All the dishes we had was of good taste. Japan chicken, moru moru chicken and dynamite chicken are a must try. Elaneer pudding was also very nice. The place is pretty crowded on a weekend and needs atleast 10-15min waiting for a table. Parking is limited, street parking gets busy even on a weekend.

Erode Amman Mess after hearing a lot about their traditional South Indian non-veg meals and biryani. The place definitely has a local mess-style vibe and attracts a decent crowd, especially during lunch hours. If you enjoy authentic Tamil-style flavors with a homely touch, this place may appeal to you. The food was decent overall, but the experience felt a bit inconsistent. Some dishes had really good flavor and spice balance, especially the gravies and side dishes, while a few items felt average and slightly oily. The biryani had a nice aroma, but the taste didn’t completely live up to the hype for me. Portion sizes were fair, and the pricing was reasonable considering the location in T. Nagar. One thing that could definitely improve is the service and dining management. During peak hours, the place becomes very crowded and a little congested, making the experience less comfortable. Waiting time for tables and food was longer than expected. Staff members were managing a heavy crowd, but service felt rushed and not very attentive. Cleanliness and maintenance were acceptable but could be better, especially considering how busy the restaurant gets. Parking nearby can also be difficult, which is common in the T. Nagar area. Overall, it’s an okay place if you want to try traditional Tamil-style non-veg food in a busy local setup, but there’s still room for improvement in consistency, service, and overall comfort. Some dishes were enjoyable, but the experience as a whole felt average compared to the expectations. I’d personally rate it 3/5.

Submitted name and headcount to the usher. Waited for 10 minutes and were seated at our table. Quick order and service. We had our meal and were out in 20 minutes. Food is served on banana leaves. Amazing food, every dish was a delight. Quantity of each side dish is plenty for one person. If each person orders one meat/side dish, it will allow up to 3 people to taste 3 dishes. At night, they had biriyani, paratha or idly as their base meal. My party of 2 shared the goat biriyani and 2 parathas with 1 chicken side and a mutton side. Everything was amazing. Their desserts were good too. Desserts are in a packing that you can eat or take away. Tips: Don't over order. Order one base and one side per person. Then share. Be prepared to wait to be seated. High traffic in a small arre - give way and navigate through. We started off by sharing a cup of chicken rasam. Will we go back here? Absolutely, there are so many dishes we haven't tried yet. The food is amazing.

Very good taste and wide verity of food available i have tried many dishes her including see food. All taste good. Mutton biryani, natukodi biryani, veg fried rice, prawns fried rice my favorite, paneer fried rice all taste good apart from that grilled chicken and mushroom fry was also good. Highly recommended for the good food and i like the traditional banana leaf for eating our food.

One of the must try everytime i visit Chennai is visit Erode Amman mess… The most flavourful mutton biryani, chicken roast and not to miss chicken chukka varuval. And always end with their fresh coconut pudding.. one of the best in the city. Not a chance u get seat as soon as u enter but wait for ur turn (min. 20mins) but as it’s said worth the wait!

Nallampatti fried rice was good. Pallipallayam chicken was Ok. I didnt like the much hyped Japan Chicken. Parotta was good. The coconut pudding was awesome. Crowded at 8 pm itself You can try once here.

Authentic sounth indian cuisine dining. Visited for lunch. The hospitality is good. Have wide range of Non veg food. It's kind of paradise for south indian style Non veg food lovers. Provides an unique taste for each dish they serve. Thier signature dish is Japan chicken. They don't serve coke / pepsi rather the Mess has in house prepared desserts available such as Madhurai famous Jigarthanda & Coconut pudding. The pricing is also reasonable. Special Kudos to the Chef team who prepared each dish with utmost care. Will recommend it for all time go.

I’m a big fan of Erode Amman Mess and a regular customer here. The food is truly addictive, and I often visit just to enjoy their delicious varieties, especially the biriyani, Japan chicken, and meals. The taste, authenticity, and quality of food have always been the main reasons I keep coming back. It’s one of my favorite places for traditional and satisfying meals. However, during my recent visit, I had a slightly disappointing experience. I went close to closing time, and unfortunately, there was no proper service from the waiters. I placed an order, but the response was not attentive, and the overall service felt very lethargic. There was no clear communication regarding food availability, which affected the dining experience. I completely understand that closing hours can be busy and tiring for staff, but maintaining basic customer service until the last order makes a big difference, especially for regular customers. I still love this restaurant for its amazing food and will continue visiting. I hope the management looks into improving service standards during closing hours so every customer gets the same great experience Erode Amman Mess is known for.

Authentic & absolutely worth it Erode Amman Mess serves truly authentic, flavour-packed food—every dish felt homemade and full of tradition. Definitely recommend if you’re after real South Indian taste. Tip: come before 3pm if you want the meals—they were already sold out by then. I had to order from the menu instead, but honestly, it was still divine. A must-visit for proper, satisfying food.

Visted first time this Restaurant and it's worth visiting. Food taste was awesome and their service was extraordinary. Mr.Prakash has given wonderful service. Must visit restaurant in Chennai. Tried their signature Japan Chicken and it's worth trying

They serve very soft and fluffy parotta, liked their japan chicken very much worth the hype . The parotta paired well with their nei kozhi and japan chicken as well . Also got to try their nallampatti chicken fried rice too yum . Highly recommend if you're around.

Tried special Veg thali, Ghee parotha and Chicken... One of the best lunch I have ever had in South India... Mouth melting ghee parotha and chicken leg piece was yum.. Veg thali rice with sambhar ghee chatany was too tasty...

One if the most delicious Chettinadu cuisine, value for money, 30 minutes waiting time. Packed on Thursday afternoon as well.This surpassed all previous Chettinad food experience-of mine. Well Done!

Had a good experience at this hotel. The food was really tasty. We tried mutton biriyani, chicken biriyani, morumoru chicken, prawn thava, Japan chicken, thool porotta with mutton chukka – everything tasted good and well cooked. The staff were friendly and supportive. It was a bit crowded during noon time, but the team handled the crowd well and service was smooth. Prices are reasonable and not too costly. Overall, a good place for tasty food. 👍

They pretty much live up to their hype. The Japan chicken was subtle yet spicy, the nalampatti chicken rice is a must try for someone bored of the regular Chicken rice. The only let down was their Mutton kola with conflicting flavours. There is not much ambience there but the service was super good. Memorable dining experience overall.

Best place for a nice quick and really tasty south Indian nonveg food. Service is very quick and friendly. Fast moving crowd. Very neatly maintained as well. Only negative is that the tables are very close to each other, so it is a bit cramped and noisy.

Wonderful delight that I keep coming back to. Food is 10/10. Flavour, tenderness, fresh, portion size - very authentic. The staff and manager are friendly, and so kind. Atmosphere - it's a well maintained seating arrangement. Might need to wait 5-10 mins to get seated. But that's nothing considering everything is totally worth the wait.

Wow. What an amazing food spot. Really happy that found such a tasty food place on Chennai. Omg the Idly - so wonderful and they served it piping hot with gravies and chutneys. All other food from briyani to side dish was so great. Friendly staff and very attentive service persons. Decent ambiance. Little congested but worth the food.

We visited Erode Amman Mess for lunch with around 6 members and had a very good experience. Mr. Aravinth took care of us in a very polite and professional manner. He explained the menu clearly and suggested some signature dishes like Mutton Biryani, Chintamani Chicken, Butter Garlic Prawn, and Kozhi Rasam, and all the dishes tasted really amazing. The ambience was nice and the service was excellent throughout our visit. Really appreciated the hospitality and friendly approach by Mr. Aravinth. Highly recommended place for good food and great service.

Service sucks and the food is ok ok the parotta was nice but the gravy was salty and bland . The pepper chicken curry was also not good , got a couple of other items too everything tasted below average except for the parotta , 65 and Elaneer pudding . The service was the worst absolutely rude servers bringing in cold food .
