Nice place for book readers. I think the special highlights is author talks events happening here frequently. It is good opportunity for todays generation to taking habits of reading and writing.
Mask, thermal check etc very particular. G Floor books, womens accessories and goodies, basement kids toys, gift items, indoor plants, and first floor stationery. Nice place. Earlier used to shop here for video CD now not needed. Very helpful staff. Rest room available. Valet parking and wheelchair entry made easy.
They have decent selection of books, decors and crafts. Toys selection however seems minimal, they could do better with the toy section.
Absolutely loved th place!!! It has everything if youre looking for gifts! From books, toys, plant saplings to what not!! Little pricey but worth it!
Great variety of goods, but staff attitude lackin in some members
Odyssey, well known for its varities in any products they have and excellent collection.
Lot of variety, eye-catching goodies, pricey.
Whatever else you do, please do not buy anything from the desk outside which says SALE. Everything is damaged or items are missing. I bought a set of bath toys, there were 4 instead of 5. Upon asking I was told that it was on sale so I should have understood that things would be missing ! Secondly, almost all their toys are damaged, even the packed ones. So go there for books, nothing more.
Great place to spend hours together to browse through books & toys. They also have good parking space and hence visitors can be rest assured while coming by private vehicles.
Good Place for Book collection, Art neccesities, variety of Greeting cards and bit costlier Gifts section. I should say only place in Chennai to buy books in person. People already moved to online but this place is really good to spend your time if you are a book lover 👍❤️ Ive been visiting this place since 2011 from my post graduation college days.
Wide and eclectic selection of books. Stationery and toys are available too. Nice place
Excellent location right in Adyar with good amount of parking. Good place for Adults and kids books, toys, any home decoration items and school supplies. 3 levelsbasement with toys ,books and home decor items ground floor for adults books and electronic items and 1st floor with school and art supplies. All ways fond of going to this shop with kids. Must vist place
My very first visit to Odyssey. The store has all essential stationeries, gifts and a good collection of books. I think they have two floors with very calm ambience. I have been there for getting mug, I was surprised to see the huge beautiful collection of mugs. Along with that I bought a greeting card costs Rs.70/- The price of each product was not that cheaper but the quality was really awesome 👌🏼 The matte finished mug costs Rs.399/- and it was worth the money. They have separate collection called Corporate Quote Mugs, Each and every quotes were very catchy 😉 The only thing which disappointed me is I couldnt get the Alphabet mug and also there were no customized mugs available. But still had a great time visiting and planning to visit again soon.
Great in-store experience for someone who just started to pick up reading habit. Staffs are good enough to understand the customer needs . Prathap has arranged me books which are not in the store and it got delivered next day. Would appreciate everyone to purchase items directly or through online from local bookstores rather than Amazon/Flipkart. Thanks Team!
Best place to find all items, good display, for all age group can get what they want.
High quality gifting and stationary shop! Trusted and have a wide range of selection!! Do check on the greetings card session with huge collection of imported greeting cards best in town!. The shop is located near Adyar buss depo! With adequate parking fecility!
Now that it is lockdown period, there is not much in the store for you to buy except for a new collection of Tamil books in the section. Hopefully all the good collection of greeting cards, do it yourself art products, and celebratory accessories would be back after the lockdown gets lifted
Good Shop for gifts and book in Adyar and kotturpuram. Lot of variety of gifts are here. And gift wrapping facility also available. Good thing about this shop is you can read a book slowly and buy it. No problem with timing. Books varieties are so good. Mostly Tamil books are available. The famous books are available here like ponniyin Selvan, Periyar, wings of fire and etc. The bag varieties also good. The coffee mugs are so good. I thought price was little bit high. Apart from that this shop is lit.
One of the few well maintained bookstores in Chennai with an excellent collection of books, stationery and more
Free parking, located at main road beside bus depot, cool & nice helping mind staff.
No proper guidanceSales team is not so interested or supportiveLess collection
With the growth of online retail, the one of the good outlets for instant purchase of stationery & gifts. They need to discover what could make this business sustainable. Even a writers cafe model is quite good.
I still cant forget their anna nagar space during the year 2005-06. Still trying to gain prominence in thia digital era.
Very good book store with collections of all kind. Surprisingly there was no Frederick Forsyth on the day of my visit. I was told that book buying has picked up and collection are drying up faster. Yes! The statement was true as we could witness sizable crowd.
The place is good and fancy, but its not unique anymore. Everything is availaible online at a cheaper rate and better quality. No point going to such a store unless its an emergency.I particularly like the game and kids area, a lot of innovative new stuff to be found there. Good place for gifting.The free giftwrapping is a good service.
Odyssey is a great place to read books, to buy books, gifts, indoor plants, gadgets like headphones, magazines, chocolates, music, bags, stationery, art and craft supplies. You get a lot of trends setting and eco friendly things here. Any shopper would love the ambience and the staff are very customer friendly.
Good ambience with friendly staff and lot of books
It is more popularly known as a book store, but you will also find other products there in addition. The shop is environmental friendly and got a few parking slots also. Only it is in a service road which is rather circuitous to reach from the main road. This year they are conducting a summer camp for younger children, introducing them to books, authors and writing on a subject.
Odyssey never failed to give the books I demand .. Last week I asked for the following 3 Books... Akshaya Lagna Paddhati Tamil Book written by Podhuvudai Moorthy published by Vijaya Padhippagam Coimbatore --- Parts 1, 2 and 3.
So good store . It has a stationary, books , headphones and other electronic devices, watches, antiques, gift items, bags and other stuff for different ages . You will have a wide selection of gift items like mugs or office stands and it’s all high quality products. Prices are little higher than other stores Highly recommended to go and take a look .
Deserves every single star, parasite for a reader, calm soothing atmosphere to unwind yourself..just the collection and order of books will sweep you away. Has exquisite collection of mementos and gifts that looks chisled and stand-out. Never disappointed even once and invites with fresh aura evertime I step in..
One of the few remaining physical book stores, highly diluted experience as compared to its vibrant past. Definitely an oasis for bookworms, families with children.
Nice and stock all books u get here
Good place to buy gift items and stationary
Nice place and it is not that costly as it looks from outside and also has a variety of collections of books and other artefacts all round and also has a lot of electronics items and also music related stuff which are reasonably priced. Does a lot of plants and also bonsai.if you are a booklover does not this place to spend time and find a lot of books
Items are little costly. Some of the similar items I found cheaper in amazon. But if you want immediate item then you can get quality product.
Bookshops are my favorite place and Odyssey has it all..different sections for different categories of readers, odds and sundries to browse, from fashion jewellery to garden hobbies!
Good place to shop for stationery.
Barely surviving. Happy it is still open.
A place to get all ur essentials for school and recreational activities
Nice.Good for gifts, books and art supplies. Post covid their stock has been less. Hope they stock up soon.Theres ample space to park and the parking staff and in-store staff are very helpful.
A store spread across three floors selling a range of products. They have a good collection of books but they do not have any offers or discounts. So not a great place for books. But there are souvenirs and household decorative items that are really beautiful. They also have a pretty decent stationary collection including pens, markers, books, pins, clips and so on. They have a childrens books and toy section for kids. There is a jewelry collection too. Then there is a very limited but good collection of gardening tools and plants.
First and foremost thing here is, the shop having good ambience. Very silent. You can spend more time here in searching for books. People whoever, bookworms should visit this shop. Stationaries, hand work crafts Bags, School bags are also available. More Expensive!!!
One of my favourite book shops. Long surviving among online completion. This store is more than just a place, its an emotion for people who grew up in Adyar. I am coming to this place from 2000. Best place to buy interesting gifts and great collection of books.
Decent place if you want to buy a quick gift or two. They have a good collection of toys and games for the young uns. Employees need to mask up though.
They are clearing their stock.. No new stock since lockdown
Best place I would love to spend while at Singaara Chennai 👌👌💝👏
Now it is a political shop. No more neutral. No more visits planned.
A nice store that offers more than just books! One of the last few good stores left standing with the advent of online shopping. Every visit ensures that we buy something what we were not really looking for but picked it out because it was interesting.
Good place to purchase stationery and books
Neatly maintained, but they did not gift rap the gift which we purchased. It will be good if they would have made some arrangement also
Very Good Place, Good & Latest Products at Reasonable price
Nice ambience and good book and novelty collection.... Good place for book readers and gift purchase...
The Odyssey Saga is perhaps fading away..Very much visible & experienced during our visits
Great collection of books.
Superb layout and free movement possible. Well trained courteous staff make your visit memorable.
Its always my favourite bookstore. Off late they need to increase their collections and update their categories of books.
Very neatly organised and polite and courteous staff
Theres quite a lot of range but the pricing couldve been a littleore affordable!theres good parking service and quite in the hot of the city!
I am a fan of Odyssey. Always collections are unique. Ambience too good
Odyssey is a lovely store with awesome selection and is great during these crazy COVID times. The staff are pleasant and leave you to browse, and they are really helpful if you have questions. Store is modern, organized, & spacious. There is an excellent, well-curated collection of childrens books in the basement that is easy to navigate. If youre looking to pick up some books for your young ones or even yourself, its a great stop in Adyar. This bookshop is a solid four.
Good collection of books. Went to get books for kids. Expected Red hen and some large font books but thats limited
No tension Relax shopping center
Very good gifting collection... indoor plant collection can has very less collection
Lots of books and toys for kids...neatly arranged... Car parking facility.... Eager to visit again and again
Good experience when it comes to Books & Stationary.
One of favourite book shop in the city. New arrivals are quick to be found here. Excellent staff cooperation enhances the experience.
Good place and have parking
A very elegant place!
Amazing store. Wide collection of books and gifts. Neatly arranged shop. Worth the price for the articles. Must visit shop.
Good place for some stationary around Adyar. But choice is limited.
Its very good. Nice supporting staff. .
One of the best places to buy books, stationary items and gift items. Some rare accesories can also be found here.
They have everything that we need in art and craft.
Calm and peaceful place for shopping
This place has all the cool stuff...things from friends,Harry potter,vampire diaries,etc
Pleasant ambience encourages us to visit the place again. Staffs are very responsible. Bit expensive though.
Love the atmosphere, nice and friendly staff. Very good varieties of gifts.
Best shop for books, toys and gifts. Affordable price...
It was a good store.All the things available there is in very good quality. I rate this a 10/10 for all the items and the quality.
Items are stacked nicely. And some section give you unique items. They are in trend with the stocks. Staffs are helpful. Location is strategic and easily accessible( behind Gandhi nagar adyar depot). For some reason, they have stopped gift packing which felt odd as the shop is known to sell gift items. Nevertheless, every visit to this place, makes me aware about a new utility product.
From being a book store it has become a gift store. Its a place where you can browse through some books and lots of other things. Neat place.
Its a paradise for book lovers. Ive visited this place twice and so much fun here. Ive added so many pics in Instagram too regarding their collection.
This is a place if you are looking for books.
Haven for book-lovers! Easy sequence of titles. Friendly staff.
