Food Village, ECR, Chennai, Tamil Nadu

It was a sunny afternoon last Sunday, I, my friend and his wife went to Fast and Furious 5 and both my friend and his want to go to Amaravathi for lunch. But I was bored of being in city and just wanted go for a drive and we chose Food village restaurant, which is in ECR road, Chennai.

I have been to this restaurant before while in college, but haven’t been to this restaurant in recent past. We reached the restaurant around 1.30 PM, it was not that crowded and got seated immediately. The waiter brought us the menu card and the rates are definitely bit costly than other restaurants around. But according to my past knowledge they always had great variety of foods and their food mostly tasted yummy.

We then ordered sweet corn chicken soup, dragon chicken and fish finger for starters. Soup was ok, dragon chicken was real good and fish fingers was not it used to be here and there was more French fries than fish and it definitely don’t worth the cost.

After the starters for main course we ordered butter naan, chicken tikka masala, panner butter masala and chicken biriyani.

Butter naan was really good and both chicken tikka masala and panner butter masala was ok, but not extraordinary for that cost. The real disaster was the biriyani. I can’t even call it a biriyani, it was worse than a road side biriyani. And this biriyani costs Rs 180.

For people who are planning a short drive in ECR for dinner or lunch, please be sure what do you want to eat in this restaurant. The ambience is really good but the food is not that good when compared to the price they charge

So take your friends and family to this restaurant at your own risk. If you are lucky you might order a dish that is really good or you might end like how we did.

Will be back next week with another Chennai restaurant experience. Probably, Ambur Star biriyani which has recently opened its branch in vadapalani.
