Lovely anniversary dinner! Chicken 65 was so yummy with the side sauce. Husband ordered chicken jalfrezi and I had tikka masala for main ... all delicious! Would definitely return 😊

Overview
Taste of Chennai opened in early February 2023 at 331 Sauchiehall Street on the former Kama Sutra site, pitching authentic South Indian cooking — dosas, idli, parotta, Chettinad-style curries, biryani and thali meals — rather than a generic North Indian curry house. The menu leans Tamil Nadu: Chicken 65, lamb fry, tawa fish, Mysore masala dosa and lunch thalis sit alongside familiar starters. Open daily noon–10:30pm. Book by phone (0141 332 0055) or the website form; there’s also a party / “Chennai Curryoke Cellar” space for groups. Soon after opening, the owners began weekly curry donations to Homeless Project Scotland. Cowcaddens subway is a short walk north; Buchanan Street subway and Sauchiehall Street buses cover the city-centre strip.

The food was very good, and the staff were excellent and very friendly. Unfortunately, our experience was spoiled when a person was smoking outside and then came back in, filling the restaurant with cigarette smell. It made it very uncomfortable to sit and enjoy our meal. Sadly, it appeared to be the owner or a partner of the restaurant, which was quite disappointing.

I had an amazing experience from start to finish. I started with the chicken lollipop and Chettinadu chicken soup both were incredibly flavorful and hit the spot. The dipped vada with sambar was also good, though I wish it was a bit more soaked to really soak up all the flavors. For the main course, the Mysore masala dosa stood out as the best it was fully coated with spicy masala and perfectly balanced, not sweet at all. The chicken kothu parotta was absolutely delicious, packed with bold spices and textures. I also tried the classic parotta with a side of chicken Chettinadu curry, and it did not disappoint. Every bite was rich and satisfying. To wrap up the meal, I had buttermilk, which came with refreshing ginger bits in every sip, and a glass of rose milk that instantly took me back to my childhood days. Every dish I tried was full of flavor and definitely a place I’d love to visit again!

Not bad, but definitely far from great. It has 2 big positives going for it though in that it's open a bit later than other places plus all the dishes are marked with their allergens next to them. An awkward amount of their dishes that in other restaurants would be dairy-free, appear to contain dairy at this place though. Which is sorely disappointing. If they could find a way to change this so that their lentil or vegetable curries could be safe for vegans, that would definitely bump them up to four stars.

Was went for dinner.. Had Idly, Vada, Dosa , Kal Dosa, Chicken 65, Jhinga Kabab (Prawns), Chicken Noodles, Lamb Chops and Fish Curry finishing with Masala Tea and Ginger Tea. All over the food was good but , 1. Masala Tea was not as expected and not good. 2. Ginger Black Tea also not good. 3. Jhinga Kebab (Prawns) was not good. Rest the food was very good and spacious.. Serving was good…
