This place has got very good ambience with all those neon lights, open air sitting, a very small atrium..good place to go with your friends and hang out. The music selection was also nice. A very positive vibe. Food is mostly continental and also japanese sushi is available. Cost is on the expensive side for two people itll easily cross 1000 rs. It gets crowded by 8 and getting seat is tough. So if you go early there are better chances. Service is good and the food does not take very long.it has got huge variety to choose from.Ambience- 5/5Value for money- 3/5Service -4/5Food taste- 4/5

4 - ambiance4 - food (quality and taste)3 - value for money1 - service qualityThe waiting time was way too long for the kind of food ordered. The person taking the order and servicing was probably not experienced or was totally confused. He served the main course first and then came up with the starters. We also had to remind him about the cold beverages ordered which he got just before we finished our food. The taste and presentation of the food was good for which a 3 star.Have shared the feedback with the person there and hopefully he will take care of this with others.

Insta worthy place. You can click a lot of pictures. Their presentation is really good. Thats why I said its an insta worthy place.I had gongura chicken roast, another fish item(was not good so I dont rem the name) ,Meraki supreme and americano.Gongura chicken roast was really yumm..if you are a gongura chutney fan do try this.The fish item I didnt like.Meraki supreme is basically chicken breast stuffed with cheese and for the sides mash potato, beetroot sauce peas and red wine sauce. This one was yummmmmm. I personally recommend this dish. It was soo yummy that I left the plates clean. You can check the images for proof😁Price is again very similar to most of the cafes around. It was 1300 for the above mentioned dishes.Nice place to spend an evening. Evening would be the right time to visit. They do have more options in their menu to try out.

Very swanky place. Food was good. Customer service was nothing extraordinary. And food felt a bit more pricier for the quantity. Couldnt try the full menu since some other middle eastern food fair was going on. Didnt hate the experience, wasnt the best. Might try coming on better day I guess.

Awesome new place with indoor and outdoor seating. Great food and there is Sushi there too. Service and for quality are supreme! Conveniently located in ECR, it had thrilling ambience and covid appropriate precautions taken. Green foliage surrounds the seating area and it is cosy for family, business and friends meal out. Brilliant

Another worthy addition to Chennai food scene. Fusion food that’s fun in a cosy small restaurant.

👍 Great location. Nicely done interiors. The menu is quite exhaustive with continental and south indian options. Tried a pizza and chicken steak - steak was amazing - must try. Price is decent for the taste. Quantity is also pretty good.👎 No parking space though - you have to park on the side of the road. The kitchen notice hits your ears even on the roof top seats. Crowded most of the time. Speakers are bad - can be much better

This place is an absolute stunner...a real gem! The ambience is great with relaxed outdoor seating options. Food was outstanding - from the falafels to home made pasta, paneer and kunafa everything was just brilliantly made. The service was friendly, quick and attentive. Definitely recommend!

Fell in love with Meraki Cafe 😍 and it’s food! The cafe is tucked away is a quiet street in Neelankarai and is away from the main road (Google maps is your saviour).Every corner of the cafe is so vibrant and colourful and is tastefully decorated. It’s just picture perfect! There’s something about this place that’s so welcoming and warm.They also have Sushi in a box in the same compound and you get to order sushi’s even when you dine at Meraki. They have an outdoor seating which is a blessing due to the Covid situation! They also have a private room which can fit upto 20 members for a sit down meal.I loved the chicken and mushroom burger, the fiery Peri Peri chicken pizza, prawn fried rice and prawn in hot garlic sauce, natu Kozhi ghee roast, limbhu jhinga (grilled prawn), and Mexican grilled fish! I am a fan of the prawn tempura maki roll which we ordered from Sushi in a box’s menu.Price for two - ₹1500 (approx)The only disadvantage for those who live in the center of the city is that you have to travel all the way to Neelankarai, in the city traffic (guess you can avoid the traffic during day time). But it’s worth the visit!

Meraki Cafe located nearby neelangarai is a place worth try for their cozy ambience and unique dishes. One of the best tries apart from tea for lunch a best non vegetarian courses is my favourite.They have a different ambience setup satisfying both people preferring indoors and outdoors setup.Coming to the starters, I tried their Vethalai Chicken 65 which was unique from the normal chicken 65, and their tandoori connection that has chicken tikka as toppings is a must try.

A quaint cafe setup in a posh area along the ecr with brilliant lighting and ambience! We ordered vethalai chicken, Jack Daniels chicken and burnt garlic chicken noodles. Everything was different altogether and taste was equally amazing. So I would give a 5 star rating for all the dishes we tried! With courteous staff and different platters served in different vintage like dinnerwares, A place definitely worth visiting!

I love the place. We went during partial lockdown time, so only 50 occupancy is there. Half of the restaurant is closed. Everything was haphazard. Yet I love it because of the lights, statues and benches. The food is fantastic. Satisfied with the serving, but the homemade pasta quantity is significantly less for the price. I love their salsa, truffle foam soup and minced mushrooms. Malibu Payasam is unique, flavourful and a delight.

Me n wife did an outing on the ECR road on a Sunday late afternoon for a break and time out from our otherwise monotonous and mundane life. Rode out for an hour and parked on one of bridges and witnessed a beautiful evening and sunset..and then visited this place for a dinner date 😉The place was well laid out and really impressive. There wasnt any crowd by the time we reached so there was no issues finding a table. But reserving a table during the peak hours will be a good move.Wife ordered a veg lasagna n me, a Mexican grilled fish.Both the dishes were all well done and tasty but the portions could have been a lil more to fill us up. The dessert was not as we had expected it to be, but was worth the time we spent there.I felt pricing was medium and there are a lot of choices in the menu.You can try out this place if u need to have a good eve with friends n family. Suggesting to visit for dinner as the lightings are exceptionally well and u light jus miss that out if u plan a lunch🙂

Yeah..first of all I was amazed with the ambience of this place. We booked a table on roof top. Food was delicious 8 out of 10. Aa must visit place for food lovers. The only problem I found was the service for roof top. No problem with waiters but the system. There should be some arrangements to give a call in need rather than shouting for that.

The portion size is pitiful. I had ordered the Greek gnocchi and it was around 480 Rs and the portion size wasnt enough for one person.There are other restaurants that have better food and serve exclusive gourmet dishes with much better portion size for the same price.

Its was pleasant dining experience in Meraki... Food was tasty and yummy. An hidden gem in ECR (Neelangarai).... Double thumbs up for the people working there. Especially Mr. Kannan, who was polite and professional.That too a restaurant maintaining their quality and quantity in food consistently even during pandemic is really great.Surely will plan for another visit.

Review №32

The place was quite unique. Ive never seen a place which has creepers hanging all over and an indoor garden-like space to chill out! LOVE the place! Also, I have a suggestion for you. Why dont you like have a fancy menu card like the ones that they have in the big restaurants and all? Because it would really match the ambience of the cafe. And also, can you add more desert options? Like, Im not sure if you have ice-cream. If you dont, PLEASE add that to the menu. Apart from that, it was great there! I will come again!

I loved the vibe of this place! Its a little off the main road and in an extremely quiet location. Theres a lot of green in the restaurant and it makes for an extremely calming ambience. Theres both outdoor and indoor seating options.The food is really good as well. The portion sizes are quite large and I felt it was worth the price charged. We had the potato kalan roast, burnt garlic fried rice, and paneer chilli. I would definitely go back again.

Definitely an ‘Instagram place’ where everyone can enjoy taking endless photos of their meals, the decor and themselves. Very well decorated. Food was hit and miss, two dishes were delicious, two were meh. All were pricey. Lots of mosquitoes if you sit outside, so bring repellent.Careful with your belongings; we forgot our phone and the staff didn’t find it until two hours later. It was in a waiter’s apron, mysteriously turned off...

Review №46

Very slow and bad service. No proper customer service. Menu not given (waiting time 10mins), Water not served until asked (waiting 10mins), restroom was untidy (we requested em to clean it) starters & main course ordered at 905pm. Until 945pm no response from any of the team. And by end, the staff came to tell us the starter we ordered was not available (our main course wasnt given order till then) if item is not available, it is only likely to inform us in the first few minutes of the order given.Completely unacceptable services from the Meraki team. Very disappointed.Suggestion: if the Meraki Cafe team feels that the place is getting crowded and that they cannot manage, please inform the customers before hand for hassle free service to both cafe & to people visiting. Very bad experience from us.

Had a masala tea, which was nice. felt a bit insecure about the safety and hygiene during these times. I could see many people in the kitchen not wearing masks, could not see a hand sanitiser in the entrance, bearers were not wearing gloves- so overall hygiene needs improvement. The Open kitchen can be kept more cleaner too. Felt there was no senior person to supervise the operations.

Review №54

Quiet place located in the neighborhood of the posh Kabaleeshwarar Nagar in Neelangarai.The place has three different dining spaces. One inside a AC room, one in an open garden setup and one on a rooftop setup.They have 2 different menu setup. One traditional Indian and another Japanese aptly named as Sushi In A Box. The former has wide varieties while the latter has limited options.We went for the former. They have some different options with some catchy names like Vethalai Chicken, Gongura Chicken, Jack Daniels Chicken Wings and so on.The taste is pretty good. The service too is decent and courteous. The prices are slightly on the higher end. Nevertheless it is a good place to hangout with family or friends especially after a long days work.
