Taste of Chennai Menu

Taste of Chennai is a South Indian restaurant at 331 Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow. The dining room presents the flavours and hospitality of Chennai in a central city location, serving lunch and dinner every day and taking table bookings for casual meals or celebrations.

Dosas are an important part of the menu, with the thin, crisp rice and lentil crepes available in several styles. Soups and appetisers lead into curries shaped by South Indian spice combinations, giving diners a different route through Indian cooking from a menu focused mainly on familiar British curry house standards.

Biryani brings aromatic rice together with meat or vegetables, while kothu parotta turns chopped layered flatbread into a substantial dish with spices and other ingredients. Chettinad preparations, fish curries and vegetarian choices reinforce the restaurant's regional identity.

Vegan options and allergen information help plant based diners identify suitable dishes, while group and party catering make the restaurant useful beyond an everyday table booking. Taste of Chennai is especially suited to diners who want to compare dosas, breads, rice dishes and curries across a shared meal.

Address: 331 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow G2 3HW, Scotland
