A decent hotel for non veg foods in this area.Amenities of the hotel is something you will be loved at and hearing the old songs in the background will take you to 1970s.... satisfied with the hotel location and amenities. The same could have been there in food taste as well., not up to the level for the both food taste and food speedy serving.Mutton especially good here and chicken is some what ok okay but aprt from these two not much satisfying food. But they can definitely improve it as I could see positive approach from the management.Price is again decent one and you can give a try once for sure... 😊

This place is really very good. Thanks to irfaans food review. Wide range of choices for food . I really loved the kari dhosa. Its authentic and is tasty and is yummy. The chicken milagu soup had my taste buds dancing. Its authentic. I tried the chicken pepper roast, and I can only say that its ecstasy. To top it up, the paal Sarnath...it really really too good. Highly recommended.

Restaurant with awesome taste and good ambience. Good palce to visit with frnds and family

Ordered chicken kizhi parota here. The taste was awesome, but little spicy. The ambience was good. But the waiting time was high. We waited for about 15 mins to get our parcel. Also, there is no proper place to park our vehicle.

Bought a take away mutton meals the taste was good and make you feel like having homemade food. The charges are acceptable for their quality and taste. And the ambience good.

Omr cholan mess nd kodampakkam. mutton melas nd mutton chukka yennaku k than sapputum pothu I feel good food for thought ( old songs background music🎶, wall painting picture also interest )

I visited this hotel with my friends on a Saturday for dinner. The restaurant had seating capacity of about 40 to 45. The restaurant was well lit, the walls had paintings of old Tamil movies, the overall ambience was good. To start with we ordered Mushroom 65 and Chicken 65 and for mains we had Kal Dosai, Ghee Roast Dosai, Chicken curry dosai and Egg kothu parota. Mushroom 65 was salty to taste, Egg kothu parota was a bit dry. My friends told me that non vegetarian dishes were okayish. Ghee roast dosai was also average. Kal dosai and the salna were good. All the items were priced ok. There was only one waiter attending to four tables. Staff were courteous and polite. They accept payment through cash, card, UPI, Zomato Pro. This restaurant has a parking space for about 3 cars and 10 two wheelers. All in all an okayish experience.

I took one star out due to the place being not fully clean. If you just wanted a review about the food, consider it as 5 start. I went there with my family and ordered kalyana virunthu meals (mutton). Waiter missed to provide info about the items in the meals but they brought everything to the table. Food tasted really good, I felt I had an actal kalyana virunthu. Place could have been a little more clean as I could see lot of dirty corners and table being dirty. They have parking for 4 wheelers.

Food we orders was very good and tasty.Chicken & Mutton Biriyani was awesome but less quantity.. Loved it... Veechu parotta - must try with Mutton Masala

Kalayana Virundhu is just above average.. we can try a la carte for the same amount and more varieties of food.. customer service is Awesome Restrooms are awful

Cholan mess near Ashok nagar : I would have give 0 star for this hotel..Poor hospitality, worst service.Weighters were not even aware of what they are serving to the customers.No basic manners, courtesy just building in the name of hotel with full of dumb weighters and management

Good tast ..Mutton Chuka I like too Much ..Friends Try it 😋😋😋😋

The ambience is old retro style themed restaurant which had some cine paintings.food was simply decent

Very good place for family, well maintained and dishes are great, chicken combo and mutton combo at best...

Biryani was average while the rest of the items ordered were good...loved the ambience and retro styling of the restaurant

This is definitely a place for hard core non veg lovers! The vazhaelai saapadu is a must have for the unlimited chicken briyani that they provide for you! There is also a kalyana virundhu with a wide spread non veg menu which you shouldnt miss!And for the vegetarians, you should try their parotta and veg gravy, and trust me, you wouldnt regret it! The gravy was spicy enough complimenting for the parotta! Do not forget to try their gulab jamuns for the killer food that youd have!

Limited parking space and limited seats. Food is good.

Based on the quantity should be at least nominal.. But quantity is very very less... It will not help the hotel owner run for longer period... Prawn vartha masala is not worth it for 230 rupees and same for spicy sandakozhi masala

Place was bit small and crowded even during weekday. Also parking your car would be little challenging. Food wise no complaints. Must try if you are a lover of Chettinad food.

Chicken 65 biriyani is great. All chicken starters is good but small in quantity.Mutton, don’t try as they are rubbery and doesn’t taste like mutton. Lappa had un fried tomatoes that ruined the flavour of lappa a bit so request it without tomato.

Not upto the mark. Poor service. One man took order, cashier and do service too. Un hygienic environment and wash area. Biryani is not upto the mark snd influnced with overdose of spices. The two stars is for there gravy taste.

Taste - 1.5Quantity - Side Dishes - 2; Biriyani - 5Ambience - 3.5Service - 2 (only one server taking order for all tables on a sunday afternoon)Overall exp - 2Never gonna visit this again.

Great ambience. Very nostalgia inducing music and decor. Food was on the spicier side but good meals options.

Best ever south Indian food in town,5stars for their ambience and the food for the cost we pay.Pros: Neat dinning place, Good customer service, Authentic food, better quantity.Had mutton kola balls, Serva parota, Mutton dosa, chicken dosa everything was unique and food taste was good. Can visit with family to enjoy the dinning and cost effective.Cons: Very less menu, could have atleast few additionals.

Worst hotel experience , food and taste...any time we go the items will be cool...worst biriyani...fm add ah pathu I went....half boiled chicken, stinging smell dining, poor service...all credits goes to Ramapuram branch...but Ashok Nagar...u can feel the taste..they use separate cooking for both the outlets...better go to ashok Nagar branch

Worst experience.dnt try mapilai virunthu.its 600 rs and I wasted it.its not really unlimited . First time they provide mutton briyani second time they only give Khuska .save ur money.service and hospitality is very poor .taste not good please dont believe these food review YouTubers for choosing the hotel.dont end up ashok nagar cholan mess and waste ur money friends.please choose ur hotel wisely for nice food.

Awesome place to visit.. Our Parents will love this.. I Should bring my friends and family members here for sure

Good taste with super duper spicyVeg Meals is awesomeMutton sukka soru is ultimate with some great spicy

A retro themed restaurant, which provides many authentic south indian dishes. Those are authentic, also unique dishes!! Tried varieties of dishes there, especially prawn kadaai soru, oora vecha salna parotta, chicken kheema dosa, varutharacha kozhi perattal, kayiru katti kola Urundai, nethili fry, vanjiram fry!! Were damn good and finally dont forget to try there paal sarbath!! It was yumm to my taste buds.. I repeated the paal sarbath thrice!!!

VERY OLD STOCK REHEATED ROUGH HARD BLADE LIKE PARATHA..SEEMS LIKE THEY NEVER WORRY ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS ALL THEY WANT IS JUST TO EMPTY THEIR STOCK. TWO STAR IS FOR THEIR CHICKEN GRAVY WHICH WAS ACTUALLY VERY NICE. Owners kindly take action I bought PARATHA on 18.8.21 for dinner. Via Zomato.

Good place except the service they offer . Waiting time is pretty high.Zomato pro 25% offer a good deal to grab

Actually Irfan review only I saw this hotel Irfan told very nice yesterday I went there iam fully disappointed because first there is no tamil people fully north indian only they dont understand what I want next Igo for unlimited meals its cost 499 but only they give briyani fish only Irfan video I saw lot of quantity but for me they give 2 piece 65 one small cup of mutton only one piece only its there and they giving white rice for white they dont give any gravy only rasam totaly waste

One of the worst restaurant. Very bad service, waiter will serve you only for the first order and the owner will never identify himself. The worst experience I had. Pls never go if you want bto enjoy with your family

One of the best tastes you could find in Chennai...You can have homely style food in veg & especially in Non-veg here...If you are a less-masala taste-good kinda foodie, then you should definitely try here...Ill give 10/5 stars for Chola Mess...

Food Taste is good, Service is ok, Quantity is very less for what you pay! If youre looking for simple lunch this place is for you!

Very worst experience, poor managementFor all the tables there will be only one person to take order, we have ordered one chicken dish which doesnt cooked properly also.Most of the food are average onlyWe went to the hotel, based on the hype created by the food reviewers in Instagram.

Very worst .that mappilai virunthu totally waste . please dont try this cholan restaurant...

I feel The taste are so good...and worth the rate ...and served as well manners...Buy one thing I feel is there is no dining...Only standing and eating ...

Nice place for south indian food. Love their biriyani and parotta. Service was also good. They have a nice variety of south Tamilnadu food. Ambiance was a kinda retro. Kandippa polam.

Worst ever restaurant that I have visited so far... Customer service zero... Food quality & quantity zero.... Food taste zero.... Ambience zero....Not worthy for money....totally fed up with the lunch.

Very spicy, so only this mess hasto be near a tasmac shop.The taste of briyani does not match even trichy bigbazaar night platform briyani.First and ended as last visit to this mess.

It was a decent place to visit once but I would say..the kalyana virundu was not much as expected as the instagram food reviewers gave a hype to it...I would say that trying individual dishes would be great rather than wasting it in a kalyana virundu

They provide best taste of Trichys briyani, chalna and mutton masala. Kalyana Virundhu Combo was too good except that the quantity of dishes are high. Though they offer unlimited briyani, many cant finish the full combo. Overall it is good.

Hi , very average service , went for a lunch and it wad less crowded only , they don refill rice quickly without asking and also the refill portion is too low compared to rice what they give initially which is also low , feeels embrassing to ask again and again for a hungry good eaTer , waiter are inattentive and thetaste is very average, rest others were ok but rate is high , service could be little better by waiters

Too spicy.... maybe we should have said them to lower it... but normal guys cannot take such spicy food...

Avg good taste , could be better with spice mixxes and and oil can be used little less

Very worst experience.V went at 6pm they told they ll open @6:30pm and wen v went @6:30pm they said nly dosa nd parota is available. after tat v decided to leave thn 1 person came nd told v have all food n menus and v order their spl mutton biryani, 1 chicken briyani , 1 kadai sooru , 1 inji edicha chicken, and 2 serva kalaki nd 3 ombelet.The briyani was ok, kadai sooru was excellent nd little spicy but gud, kalaki was bad, ombelet they didnt add salt nd chilly powder nly egg wit onion nd chilly. They supplier was very worst he misplaced the orders nd no response wen v ask wat was the order.Overall the experience was bad.V went wit more hype but all gone worst

We had plain briyani and mutton fry both taste is goodParking very difecult

I liked the ambience. Just couldnt tell the difference between mushroom gravy and chicken gravy!

Good food and ambience is good .Since the hotel comes with less space, try to book it before going there..

The combo factor is really good and worth. Try it if you were in very very hungry. Otherwise go for the normal menu. They have unique way of serving the deserts. Try that one also

Not upto class as expected... But typical home food taste...

Worst service, poor customer management, running their hotel with north indians (dumb weighters) who were not aware of what they serving . And also they misplace the ordered food to other table.If you are planning for a treat or lunch remember after you ordered food ,you should wait for an hour to get single glass of water and the ordered food will reach you after 1:30 - 2hours they didnt have any courtesy to run a hotel.

I order mutton combo Biriyani Rs 599 menu card mention unlimited mutton biryani but isnt provide unlimited Mutton Biriyani be careful before order.

If you are visiting after seeing insta posts or fb ads avoid this place they dont know how to handle customers after waiting for 40mins they will offer you water even for you need to remind them twice. If you are going for a treat avoid this place they cant handle. For meals you need to wait for an hour. Worst service

Worst service I have ever seen. They didnt provide what we need instead they told us to adjust. We didnt ask for bill but they gave.We were ready to wait but they told us to adjust which we never like. Food also not that worth.im giving one star which is more than enough. Dont come to this hotel. Dont ever think. We didnt ask for bottle they told that bottle is free but they added to our bill dont come to hotel please

Worst experience , Dont spoil the cholas name, there is no link between the restaurant name and taste of the food and also behaviour of the supervisor is very worst

Trichy kalyana virundu is NOT value for money.

I yesterday ordered and picked food from Ramapuram branch.. I’m unhappy that they served old and reheated Parotta..

First mutton gravyIf you ask second time mutton gravy it will be tomato gravyValue for Cholan pocket

Combo not worth for the price mutton kola missing they said unlimited biriyani later they are saying biriyani finished take white rice DONT TRY

Cheap and best delta side food...good 60s and 70s retro style ambience

Ordered for chicken biriyani virundhu, order was accepted but was not delivered. Waited for more than 2 hours.Called them so many times but no response from the restaurant. Such a bad response from the restaurant.

Retro themed interiors, Loudspeakers and classic song collection

Only few item liked and delay service

As the name its an old styled.ambience, but not great. Food is Very average towards taste , quantity is very less. service is okay. To.my experience.i would rate this place 2stars only. We had egg briyani and veg meals, I dint like the briyani taste at all.

Best place for dinner, particularly non veg dishes.

Very worst experience biriyani is very worst only same biriyani for all are format if you want mutton if put in mutton inside if you want chicken put inside chicken if you want prawn put in side prawns totally waste of money

Awesome environment and excellent food at reasonable price. Must try

Great restaurant with superb ambience. Authentic food which is tasty. All employees are customers friendly! Taste is awesome!

Orders werent delivered properly .. they delivered wrong items and everything was too spicy definitely not recommended and never trying again

Biriyani was good but meals average only

Food taste was okayToilet was very unhygienic.Handwash and the room floor has water stagnation.Staffs were friendlyNot worth for the hype

I visited this hotel with my kids. Taste was good. Not much spicy. No food coloring agents added. Kids liked very much. Quantity of food is bit more. Staffs were friendly. Ambience was nice. Good to see cone speakers. But hygien to be improved in wash area.

Wrost service there one person taking orders with everyone.. he is not able to manage all at a time..

Food is good but quantity of the food is very low

Worst service and theres only few dishes but they are mentioned lot dishes in menu card.

Waited for almost 1 hour for the food to prepare

Rate too cost and taste also bad

As by the name resembles Thanjavur its too even as the tasty 😋

Good authentic style chettinad food available.Tastes good.

Bad experience. Booked before going and was waited for an hour, still seats was not allocated. So un professional behaviour. The guy who assisted to park the guy was good other than that all my experience is bad. Finally I came out without lunch. Nobody bothered to stop us

Good food. Service staff very polite... decent place. ....but appoint more waiters would be better.

Tasty and good food Available with Hygienic.Timely served hot food give very satisfied good had feel . one more thing Best of Customer also this Premises Special quality. Its clear peaceful place to dinein. Have a lot of parking space also Available. The only thing is no security person available in parking Area

Food taste is good but service was poor

Taste is ok and youtube reviewers have over hyped it.. if you are going for first time then try to book with dineout app.. you can get a good discount.. and if you have booked through this, many of their unlimited meals like mappilai virundhu will not be available.. lot of gimmicks they are doing.. one time visit pannalam.. perusa onnum illa

Quality of food and service very poor

Unsung place.. one of the best geeragasamba Briyani in Chennai.. decent price with good quality

I love this place, as it carries the my native flavour (Trichy) spot on... Biriyani the best... Quality wise no compromise and quantity wise also more than enough... If they maintain the same quality and quantity they will flourish... All the best guys....

The virundhu is a must try....mutton was ultimate....taste vera maari good... must try

Worst experience food was not at all good and very low varities for a huge cost.Never suggest anyone to go for this hotelBad and bad hotel Ive experienced.

Ordered chicken Biriyani and the Biriyani was too much spicy and the gravy supplied with it made the taste even worse. Mutton Biriyani was good and with gravy it tasted even more tastier. The kayaru Katti kola ordered was not boiled fully and the raw mutton smell was obvious in it.. The owner was kind enough in taking it back and not changing us for that. The Kari dosa was a disaster with pulicha Maavu and the mutton and egg didnt adhere to the dosa itself. The ambience was not too good. Seating arrangements could have been better.

Ordered from swiggy. Got tasteless mutton biriyani with gravy mutton peices added to kuska rice and given. The gravys were extremely spicy and fried rice was of road side quality. I will avoid this place henceforth

Totally waste....FOOD, VANJARAM FISH FRY BAD SMELL, HOTEL STAFF NOT RESPONSE...ANYTHING

Waste of money!! Poor taste and serving

Not once, twice I had a problem. Complete.mismanagement without supervision. No reciepe...they cook with the available ingredients. Old meat used. Pl dont fall prey to the signature dishes that they claim. Pathetic. One lesson learnt is dont fall prey to the advertisements !

Polite and friendly staff. Ambience was very good and with classical evergreen old songs will just make us feel stress free❤️. Food has no ajnomoto . Good quantity and reasonable price.

Great environment...MGR & Tradition theme based restaurant...Foods are delicious and affordable price...

Food are really good.. briyani combo Vera level must try everyone
