The best South Indian food in town... beats all others hands down! They have also started Italian & Mediterranean food on the roof-top called Cocoa & Creme... tip notch ambience for friends & family... Big screen projector and screen too...

This is one of the premium veg restaurant in Chennai. Mathsya restaurant is a bit better in taste and ambience compared to other restaurants like Sangeetha. They have a good variety in their buffet and if you prefer vegetarian buffet, this is one of the best you can dine. They follow covid protocols and they also offer party halls. The quality to price ratio is really good for buffets...Good place to dine with friends and family and an ideal place to give treat 🙂

We have got a Pleasant experience here...The food was Calm and Tastes good👍..The varieties are also Good..We felt the Prices are also worth for the Experience we Gained... Vegetarians can Definitely visit here..

Buffet with full of people around you. For lunch they have full meals thali and buffet. If its not peak hour they will give you a la carte option so that you can choose your own dish.Coming to the dishes they are below average xomparing the money whoch we spend on them.

Visited for an official meet. Good ambience. All went well. Food and hospitality were good. No complaints. Good venue for the price.

Mathsya is a household name For fine dining for years now.The Egmore Branch is the flag bearer of this Brand And true to its Fine dining experience, the Ambience of the Hotel was excellent. I visited this place for a dinner buffet with my friends Yesterday. As expected the ambience and Service was excellent.However.....The food was surprisingly disappointing and Totally Bad in taste. The Highlights in this 500 Rupee Buffet were the Cauliflower Fry(starter) Corn Vada(Starter) , Mac N Cheese Potato Wedges and Curd Rice.The Rice Items were excellent compared to the Tandoori items..The side dishes were mightily disappointing and to add to it the Ice cream was horrible.The standout Dish is the Live Counter Dosa. they have 3 varieties or Dosa. plain dosa, masala dosa and podi dosa. All were exceptional in taste .Totally disappointed with the main course.The Side dishes were done so bad that Taste of Panneer was horrible. the desserts were Okayish and overall I would Not recommend this Place for BuffetNevertheless,Mathsya is a great place for family dinners and Would recommend Ala Carte over Buffet.but heavily disappointed with the Buffet taste and Spread.

I had heard a lot about this place. Yesterday I went there with my family. First of all we ordered Cream of Tomato soup. Instead of cream of tomato soup, they gave tomato catch up. And put cream in the garnish. If the restaurant people are reading this review, then let me tell you that Cream of Tomato Soup has cream added in it. There was neither garlic flavor nor any other flavor in the soup. I drank the worst soup in my life last night. Then Hot and Sour Soup. which was completely pale. It had neither the taste of garlic nor the taste of ginger. Then we ordered Idiapam and that was equally useless. Giving 2 stars only for dosa. But dosa is good everywhere.It was a very messy experience.

Sunday buffet, so much crowd. People milling around, jumping ahead of you and grabbing food. You expect to have a peaceful ambience with good quality food. Not a place for some privacy of space. May be weekdays are better, I hope.Food options and taste arent that good for the price of Rs. 576. And then did run out of refills and you have to wait. Fine dining, Im not sure it yet fits that definition, though I hope they will improve.Please take note, create lesser seating capacity, anticipate crowd and regulate. The worst thing to do when theres demand, is to get greedy.

A great treat with a traditional and soothing ambience for family eatouts and for weekend hangouts. AC Party hall available with a capacity of 75 Members. Clean and Neat Atmosphere. A must visit place in Adyar in the center of Chennai for Vegetarians. Car Parking and Security facilities available. Covid precautions are taken care for customers and for party hall events with full safety measures.

Visited on last Sunday afternoon. I was not much satisfied personally and my family also told that the test was so so. Not so tasty, so we can think of another visit or to ask someone to visit Mathsya for good food. May be it is due to over rush of customers. But, it was definitely not up to the mark, as we thought.

A Great buffet that doesnt burn hole in wallet at the same time providing delicious meal satisfying all kind of crowd. Must visit 😋

Mathsya never disappoints with the quality of food. The taste is drool worthy. Just like every other restaurant in the market, its slightly on the expensive side. The motto of Money for Quality seems to be working though, as a person who can afford it will definitely enjoy the food. Being in the ultra posh area of Gandhi Nagar in Adyar, the cost is hardly anything.

Good ambience. Delicious food. It would be better if the restaurant also had more Tamil speaking waiters.

3rd Floor fine dining vegetarian restaurant, Definitely worth trying buffet which includes live dosa and chat counters. INR 480 worth trying buffet instead of ala carte. Of course valet parking is available so no need to search for parking.

We had the buffet for dinner on a weekday. The food was really good and considering the price, the spread is value for money. The starter options were less but to compensate that, they had much more main course options. Overall, the food was really good with some items from main course being superb and even the chaats. The service deserves a special mention as it was prompt and courteous. They also have parking space available. A good place to dine with family and friends.

Undoubtedly one of the best Pure veg premium restaurants in Chennai.It’s buffet-only and no à la carte available.Loved the food spread, quality and taste.Located at the centre of food hub, Adyar!Cost is pretty decent and not too expensive. Close to 1200-1300 for two people. Nominal compared to other buffet-only lunch star restaurants.Great ambience, Family-friendly, decent service.Only con I felt is, it is too crowded on special occasions (even on a busy evening) and it gets too packed to move around. Even then, a great place to pay a visit with family or friends!

Been to Mathsya many times over the last 3 years.We keep going back there as we love the place, the ambience, the food and the hospitality.It is maintained extremely hygienic throughout the year. Food quality is very nice!They have a wide spread menu to choose from and their Buffet spread is very good too.Id highly recommend this place for family get togethers, official team-outings, a casual cup of coffee [which my mom and I do often ;)], and a relaxed lunch or dinner.

Mathsya has both buffet and dine in option.Best place for South Indian food lovers and karnataka food lovers. Good ambience and good food.

Great Lunch Buffet with south, north and Chinese food. Restaurant is clean, not congested (lot of space between tables), tasty food and very good caring service.Kids under 7 gets a special discounted price, in weekends you also have buffet breakfast for 155.I would recommend to visit their buffet lunch if you are vegetarian foodie.Valet parking is a big plus.

I have been here for a couple of times for their sunday breakfast buffet and I have always enjoyed it. The buffet is around 150-160 I dont remember the price exactly but they serve most common South Indian and with a live dosa counter. I would definitely recommend people to visit for a proper sunday south indian breakfast.

The lighting and ambience seems to have gone dull after covid. There was full rush for a Saturday Lunch. The vegetarian spread was really good. They couldve been faster in refilling the dishes which had gotten over. It did take quite some time for service. The food overall was good and had a good time. They have Valet Parking facility. Can enjoy a nice meal with family

Bit disappointed during last visit. Covid protocols not followed. Quality was not up the their standards

Very tasty quality food. Nice spread of varieties. Polite and friendly staff ☺️☺️☺️⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had lunch here. The items were okay but the rice is not good. It was like a ration shop rice which is overcooked and a shiny white. For two people, we payed 567 rs. Overall, not worth the money spent. Disappointed.

The breakfast buffet was really good compared to the price they offered. A very comfortable and clean place. They charged only around 150 rs per head.the food quality and taste was not excellent but still above average. Overall had a good experience.

Though the restaurant is very famous, the customer service is pathetic and specially of you order ala carte you will be made to wait at least 35-40 mins. Never coming again.

This is very nice family restaurant frist time you going this restaurant literally class 👌👌❤️

5 out of 5 undoubtedly for the Taste, Variety and Quality too.Captain Babu made us feel the real Hospitality to the fullest.Highly recommended for frequent visits by Families and Corporates.

Good ambience. Parking available. Near and hygienic service. Less options for starters in buffet. All food items were tasty . Loved the place .great for family time and good service.

A quiet neat spacious hotel. The preparations are also good and tasty. Courteous staff. Calm ambiance. Good for meeting friends and to spend time peacefully.

Good vegetarian restaurant at Adayar right on the main road. The food served is tasty and delicious. The service is appreciable. Parking available.

Not Tasty. But very costly. Very spacious. Taste to be improved a lot. Coffee can be served for buffet.

Tasty veg food. A la carte and buffet available.

Good ambience, decent food, kinda pricey though and the service needs to shore up a bit when th crowd fills in...

Wow amazing dine in for buffet. Just 499 with amazing dishes.. starters are delicious and so much varieties.. lip smacking..

A good buffet with nice ambience.

Been here for lunch. Ambience was good. Overall its a good dining.There are more options in main course and less in starters and desserts. Since it is a buffet, we expect more starters and desserts.

Food quality is very good. Highly recommended for veg lovers. Clean ambiance. Clean service and clean food

Food was good. Service was not good.

At 499 plus taxes one expects full or at least ample food in every tray. At 2pm we were let in to empty trays. We were left scraping for even staples like rice. Either u get one or no starter out of three (given by the number of trays displayed or u dont have side dishes or at least one of the rotis over.... if u decide to chuck it all and have desert ...you cant have all three....any two is missing...felt cheated of my money!!

Ambience is good ,food taste good i choosed buffet ,cost per head is Rs.449/-. Plus tax .They have soup,chats,south indian,north Indian,pasta and desserts. Overall its value for money.Enjoyed it😋

Went for lunch. Have gone earlier. Good food, fairly good portions. We enjoyed the spicy food. If you want low spice level, inform while ordering. For soup to dessert, about ₹ 750 per person.

Excellent Service awesome food and the Chef was very helpful with his suggestions.

Very good spread for vegetarian..no masala/spice..good service and taste at an affordable price.

Excellent home made vegetarian food. Good ambience courteous staff . Well prepared vegetarian lunch. Good stuff were used to prepare the food. Clean and hygienic food. Home for south Indian stuff. Enjoyed the lunch. Keep it up Mathsya, a chain of Udipi home egmore restaurants.

Food is good. Service is above average. The buffet lunch is served but the social distancing is not maintained, Sad. Instead unlimited Maharaja Thali can be provided till the pandemic is over

Not great food. But service was good. Noodles was dry. Dosa too was not great.

Very tasty food. Serving staff could show a bit more life and be friendly i thought

We need a reply from the MANAGEMENT SIDE, We just now visited waiters were thinking to take order,were waiting for menu card.waiting time was also high.he says dont order one by one.Then ordered for mangalore bonda ,waiters converse themselves bonda verayam.then the other one having a stare look on us.Even though not too much crowd when we entered.I need a reply from management side

Good ambience! Food? Lot more attention on improving taste!! Anyway, better than the ordinary!!

I had booked reservation which ended in vein, when I visited there was list where my reservation was not in the lost, however with a discomfort we were let in for the lunch.The starters were not good and taste with refilling of a dish took late, I saw people started to co.plain kn refilling that take a lot of time, no live counter, no chat room unlike we had innT nagar branch.Felt waste of time right from reservation to the end, too much of crowd all around and even if you get a refill for a dish, people mock in and make it empty before you stand in queue.Only best thing is valet parking other than that I do t see this a good place for family dining.

Stale food. Especially buffet. Dont waste money here. Moreover the waiters are money minded, stay with you, till you pay the tips.

Nice atmosphere and good taste.Good Service by Nithyanandam and team.

Not like earlier times. Quality has come down, less gratifying. Desserts, roti let me down totally.

Went there for Breakfast buffet and was totally disappointed with food or lack of food at counter. Refills were not happening and very poor service. Although ambience good but food and service 1 star.

Went with family for Buffet breakfast and for the cost they charged it is one of the best and tasty food. Buffet break fast menu is Juice, Idly, Vadai, Mangalore Bonda, Kesari, Pongal, Upma, Poori Masal, Lemon Sevai and Live dosa counter with coffee and tea. Hold on the cost is ₹125 per head. Don’t miss it

And BisiBelaBath, Mexican Enchiladas, Chinese Lotus stem starters and finishing off with a delicious rose milk, we truly had a multi cultural dinner in the third branch of @mathsyarestaurant in Adyar (others being in Egmore and T. Nagar).Priced at 400 their speciality 4ft Dosa could easily serve 5-6 ppl with large portions.The Enchiladas served with Tobasco sauce, cream and cheese was a superb highlight of the meal and quite a surprise. Had a lil doubt over having a Mexican dish here but it truly proved me wrong as it turned out to be excellent. Just couldnt finish the whole thing thanks to the rocket dosa

Really good place i like it very much and also i suggest to go this place for birthday functions mostly and also for any party.

The number of items in Buffet was good. Ambience was good. But the food was not hot at all. It had bad impact on our overall experience.

Beautiful place in Adyar. Good place for an eat out at Adyar after a long time. There is a good variety of food available. Ala carte and Thali apart from buffet being the options available. Good place and there is value for money. More importantly car parking facility is available

Mathsaya restaurants buffet was damn good and filling.The following was the buffet menuSoup, veg ball Manchurian , bonds. Falafel, roti, naan, pasta, noodles, veg sauce, planner tikka masala , Dal palak, rice, sambar, rasam , kootu , Pappad, curd rice , pickle , plain dosa, podi dosa, Mysore masala dosa, dahi papdi chat, water melon juice, suraikkai halwa , pastries and some salad .All available only around rs 480.

Nice and enjoy

The food is aweeeesommee... this is truly for food lovers.. especially vegetarians would love it. Must try place in chennai would be this one.

The quality was excellent. Must try is podi with rice, all others are fair enough

Unfortunately there is no option in google to give negative rating. First time in 30 years, we were accompanied by huge rat for dinner today. Hotel Management were providing silly reasons as justification. Very sad to see the importance given to customers. Ofcourse, provided a discount of 25% by accepting the mistake, probably they would have charged the rat for this. One of the worst places i have ever visited.

Today, I along with my friends Karthik Murali & Shrinidhi Hande visited Mathsya Restaurant, Adyar for dinner.This is a pure veg restaurant. Being a pure veg myself(only in Saturday), I couldn’t have asked for a better restaurant. This brand hails from Udupi, Karnataka and is known for their delicacies like bisi-belle bath, neer dosa, kadubu & Guliappa to name a few.We started with a welcome drink - rose milk. Post that we moved on to Tomato soup. My friends felt it was too sweet. For me, it was ok.Then we ordered a dish made of corn. It was crispy and spicy. Liked the taste very much. Then it was Lotus Stem soaked in Chilli & Lemon. It tasted unique.Then we ordered Neer Dosa. You shouldn’t miss it if you’re looking for Udupi delicacies apart from bisibeke bath, guliappa & kadubu. Kadubu is usually served in jack fruit leaf but since the leaf is a rarity and it takes time to prepare, we got it in a normal way. So, don’t be disappointed, if you were expecting that style. The taste is intact.The highlight was the rocket Dosa. It is a 4 feet Dosa which could easily satisfy the hunger of 4 people. It comes with lot of coconut & mint Chutney, Sambar, potato masala.We ended our dinner with a sweet lime juice. Shrinidhi alone ordered butter milk.Highly recommended. Be early because it is jam packed. You may have to wait in the queue before you get your turn but it is worth your time and money.

I liked this taste. But my husband and son rated the food as mediocre. We had buffet today. Charged for ₹499/ head inclusive of taxes, the dessert section was not upto the mark.

Mathsya Adyar is running an offer of Unlimited South Indian breakfast at 187/- or so. Went there with a friend to check this. I found the quality to be just about average while my friend mentioned it was par for the cost. Had lemonade, coffee, tea, idly, pongal, idi appam, bonda, vada, dosa counter etc and thenspread was really good. The staffs were courteous and helpful. Found a lot of people there in the morning itself, so its quite popular. Ambiance is very nice too and quite spacious.

Good ambient service an food

There is no signature dishes like akki roti and other udupi dishes in Adyar. They have standard menu and most are repeated one

Good place for veg buffet ..

I had the opportunity to acquaint myself fairly well with the culinary offerings of Mathsya over a period of 3 days. We tested a range of services: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Home Delivery, Bulk Order delivered at home. The item that remained a common fixture across services: their Ghee Podi Dosa. The other constant: quality. Happy indeed must Gandhi Nagar, Adyar be in being able to access this place at will.Their ambience is surprisingly old school in that it uses large windows to suffuse the interiors with the bright Chennai sun. Thats a throwback to a more traditional approach in our day and age of under-lit places. Just wished they didnt have to use chandelier style lighting on top of this! Highly recommended if youre in the vicinity.

The buffet was not at all maintained when I had gone there around 3pm, food was cold and rotis had turned into kevlar. Ambiance was fine.

Weekend Breakfast Buffet (South Indian Cuisine):1. Buffet spread and Live counter - Try for yourself, you will appreciate it. Value for money with no compromise in quality and extremely light on your stomach2. Timings - 7 AM till 10 AM3. Price - Around 150₹, per person4. Ambiance - Excellent with plenty of natural light5. Service - Prompt and warm6. Parking - Dedicated basement parking with direct lift access to restaurant (3rd floor)

Ambience was good. Not much crowd. From my opinion A-la-carte is better than buffet. We order for Special Thali & South Indian Thali. Both were good & different varieties of food. Do try Special Thali (3rd photo) when you dine there. Came to know there is roof top service during evening, need to try once. Overall a good veg restaurant. Price range bit pricey.

Mathsya is a popular restaurant in Chennai for South Indian, particularly Udupi style food. I had visited their Pondy Bazaar outlet multiple times. Now they have two more branches. Got to visit their Adyar outlet recently and this is the review.Mathsya is a pure vegetarian restaurant, serving South Indian, North Indian dishes, as well as a few Chinese and Mexican items. But I decided to stay focused on the Udupi items they have on offer.We were given a welcome drink- rose milk. Ordered Guliyappa (aka Paniyaram in tamil)- a dish where batter used to make dosa/idli is baked in the shape of small balls on a specialized tawa. Infused with some vegetables for added taste and served with chutney, sambar, the first item gave good start to the evening. Friends ordered some starters- lotus stem and fried corn. These were good, but I liked crispy corn served at Coal Barbeque and few other restaurants a bit better.Neer dose is another coastal Karnataka special dish you should try. (neer= water in Kannada) It is a thin layer of dosa served with coconut flakes and jaggery. Serving this in sets of 2 would have been better in my opinion.Next ordered a plate of Kadubu. Kadubu is coastal Karnataka dish where idle batter is cooked in a cup made of jackfruit leaves. I was expecting the same, full sized Kadubu in jackfruit leaves. But we were served smaller sized ones- no difference in taste but missed the aroma of jackfruit leaves. Upon checking with management later we were told about the operational challenges- non-availability of jackfruit leaves and time it takes to cook during busy evenings.While we waited for Rocket Masala Dosa, a four foot long Masala dosa, next order of Bisibee bath arrived. Taste was authentic. I had buttermilk for company while I savored on the bisibele bath (also known as sambar rice). Rocket Masala dosa now arrived, drawing attention of everyone around, thanks to its long size. Masala is not stuffed inside like a conventional masala dosa but is supplied separately in bowls.Wanted to try Mangalore Bonda and Thatte idli but didn’t have any space left. The items are reasonably priced. One Udupi item I felt missing in the menu was Patrode.Overall Mathsya Adyar is a great vegetarian outlet in Adyar area to visit with family, for authentic south Indian food. They also have great collection of North Indian, Chinese dishes. There will be fair bit of waiting on weekends.

Good ambience. Terribly overpriced (for a la carte). Buffet was just above average. They take so much time to serve you if you opt for a la carte as most of their attention is focussed on the buffet. Despite this, many items in the buffet run out quickly, and they are very slow to refill the empty trays. Steer clear of this restaurant!

Mathsya is a veg place! ( dont go by the name :p) its a yumm place with a nice menu, courteous staff and classy ambience. We went there for buffet lunch on a weekday. 1 soup, 4 starters and long list of main course and 4 deserts. It was good, starters n soup was served in table and we hogged on the remaining things. Food has quality. Tasty pasta and Yummy payasam!! Would love to drop by some other time as well to try the other things in their menu. Ive heard the lasagna is yum.

Very good place for vegetarian lovers good food good taste good service 👌 😋 👍

Today 25/7/21 i had lunch at Adayar. It was a worst experianceI had specal thali meals, half cooket cabbage curry, snakegouard sabji. Rice was at less than room remprature.as if it was refregirated, sambar was uncooked and was like yello water without any taste and there was no veggies in sambar.i had paid. Rs.275/ for this meal.i would not recomed any one to have lunch here.Staff promote buffet lunch than ala carte menu.My dather had rava dosai which was over cooked and was black insted of being in golden brown colour.Staff attitude waa worst and they way they reply for complaints was very bad.they did not carry any responciblityI am sure many of the customers who visit this hotel wiil have the same experiamce.I will not visit or recomend this hotel for any of my friends or relative.

Very cheap and food was tasty with a good selection ....tea coffe juice

We went for family party. The halls were excellent with modern ambience. Food (buffet) was top notch with excellent variety and the taste of all items on the menu were tasty. highly recommended for any family occasions or parties

Buffet dinner was good. We went around 9pm and many items are over.

Tried their Breakfast buffet over the week end. Menu consists of Idly, Vada, Pokada, Pongal, Idiyappam & Kurma, Poori Masala, Juice, Kesari and live dosa counter.(You get Plain dosa, Podi dosa & Masala Dosai in live counter)Food taste 5/5Ambience 5/5Service 5/5Overall worth every penny paid and cost wise more economical for the menu offered. Must visit place. Week days I believe they offer discounts as well.

Fantastic food. And roof top restaurant

Desserts and starters were great. Main courses were Okay not bad.

One of best dine dining veg restaurant in Adyar Chennai Gandhi Nagar..spacious nice looking and well appointed place. Good service and variety of items to choose from.menu. bit costly, but like Adyar, will have this cost...recommended for a small gathering dine out...

The interiors and lighting are gone dull post covid lockfown. Serving time and attention also needed to pick up to match the position of previous year.

Good place , Goodvarieties to try out, Decent food with neat ambience and good service

Good place for lunch, providing lots of variety for 550.00 is excellent. A must try destination.

Buffet Lunch is good, much variety. Heavy crowded on week ends.

Lunch buffet is good! Worth the money.

For a change, a buffet that is dominated by South Indian pure veg cuisine. If you like the concept, you may like Mathsya.Good ambience, seating arrangements, quick service are few to points. Variety of items is ok, not too many and not too less.Taste wise, I feel bit less spicey which is good.Visit with family for good South Indian experience at not so costly price.

Excellent ambience, quality of food and good service. Buffet was worth giving a try even though their ala carte menu was fabulous. Dal Makhni, Missi Roti & Aloo Dum Banarasi were all fantastic. In starters one should try Mangalore Bonda , Hariyali Paneer also.

Breakfast buffet on weekends at 150rs is best. Like having a south indian breakfast at Marriages. Best place for vegetarians. Very spacious and luxurious interior. Affordable comparatively considering the area. No compromise on quality dining.

Newly opened branch. Easily locatable. Ample car parking space. Lift is available so old people can visit without fear. The dining place is very very big n it consists of ala carte n buffet. Its a vegetarian hotel known for its authentic sambhar n south indian varieties. Their buffet price is nominal and all the items taste too good. Esp north Indian subzis n rice varieties. They r already known for their sambhar rasam n rice stuff. They have starters n dosa festival Overall brilliant space for vegetarian buffet.

Decent place to have weekend lunch with your family. Fully air-conditioned with classy look. If u are a foodie go for unlimited buffet both breakfast and lunch is available.No compromise in QualityUdupi style also available

Nice ambiance. Food is good..

Good cost. Not an expensive place and they have a good spread.

Right choice for people who like authentic vegetarian foods and dishes to eat .!! If you love to taste delicious home made recipes you can walk-in.
