+1. That's an amazing place to get some quick snacks.

It is a Joint Venture between Corporation of Chennai and Rotary club of madras.

It is not a fancy restaurant. It is a sort of beach facing chilled out place, with simple tables chairs on a roof and a small kitchen and bar, maintained by some youngster, visited mostly by college crowd. I used to hang out there a lot with my freinds from Indian Coast Guard.

Not expensive, average. Dont remember actual cost as we usually dont keep an account between us. Whoever has money pays and rest just share it later.

When you enter Mahaballipuram, after passing the entry check post/barries, there is an intersection where right turn goes to bus stand and on left is a temple. Take the next left (there is an ATM on the turn). AT the end, you will hit the beach, park your cars there and walk toward left. And you will find it.

Google 'Bob Marley Mahabalipuram' to find additional info and reviews.

The second item which you have mentioned is he famous for Rose milk? Can you specify where exactly he is in mylapore and any landmark to that place, also what else is good there? Is it a juice shop or an eatery joint?

Dessert Storm in Chennai : I decided to make a quick sortie on a lazy afternoon in Chennai to discover various desserts.
I headed first to Thirunelveli Halwa Lala kada sweet shop in Wes Mabalam to taste the legendary Halwa which comes from Thirunelveli and packed at sold.
It was excellent from taste point of view, rich ghee and cashew thrown in liberally. I picked up a 250gm packet for Rs.55.
Next to stop was Triplicane Ratna Cafe(from the group of Saravana Bhavan) where i tasted Mushroom Dosa and Filter coffee.
Then i headed to Eldams road to discover the newly opened Dessert Safari.
This is definitly an upmarket eastery with gourmet stuff. I ordered :
- Chocolate Brownie Souffle - Rs.120
- Blackberry Cheese Cake - Rs.200
- Mango Pannacota - Rs.150
There was a broad smile on my face after tasting these desserts. However the presence of facial tissues on the table instead of soft tissues, disappointed me. A must visit again soon as the menu had some interesting stuff.

Very casual,cool place to hangout with couple of freinds and spend a nice weekend evening. Cool Bob Marley music, sometimes live performances. I recommend to try its grilled food (non veg).


Definitely recommend a stop-by to moderators who visit Chennai and test drive vehicles for official car reviews.

High On Caffeine on LB road.
Good place to hangout with friends. The food is good but the pricing is on the higher side. They took more than an hour to serve the pizzas we ordered but, we made use of that time to play Pool, fusball and Play station!

I'd rate it 7/10

Has anyone tried food at the international chain 'Nando's' at Phoenix Market City ground floor ?

Have eaten at Nando's while abroad and the food was super yummy.

That is in Bangalore, not Chennai. And yes, the food is awesome. Must visit and not very expensive either.

Phoenix Market City has also been opened in Chennai on Velacherry Main Road. Have tried Nandos, amazing food a must visit for chicken lovers.

The other restaurant I tried there was ID (Idli Dosa), very good south Indian food.

The food court in Phoenix is not that good, I prefer Express Avenue Food Coart any day.
