“Good new restaurant. Inside is very open and bright. We had a weekday lunch buffet, and the food was very tasty. Both vegetarian and non-veg options are available. Weekday luch buffet menu is smaller, and weekend buffet has more varieties. Food was not too spicy. Rice pudding and tandoori chicken were yummy. The host is kind and pleasing. They give discounts if you have a local company ID card.”

“I visited this place for my team lunch. This place served a full-course buffet with a changing menu; it also has a la carte.
The food seems authentic and flavourful with toned-down spices (you might find it bland for some dishes). I am providing a review based on what I have tasted.
Recommendations: Good for team lunches, the buffet system saves time to order.
Food:
Must Try: Tandoori Chicken, Butter Chicken, Sambhar uttapam, Naan, Fish Curry, Fried Rice, Veg Pulao, Bhindi Masala
Avoid: Spring Rolls or frozen items
Average: Gulab Jamun, Dessert options
Ambience: The restaurant theme is Indian Contemporary with instrumental music in the background, good enough for Conversations. I recommend working on their presentation, organization and perceived cleanliness.
Good to have: Allergy Details, Kids menu, kids activity
Additional Mentions: Liquor options are available, there is a heated cooktop on each table, and the staff is friendly and smiling. Accessible entrance (Please check if they have accessible washrooms). Ample parking, but it may get crowded on weekends. There's an in-house shop to buy sweets, and do ask for corporate 15% discounts 😊. Free mouth freshener candies at entry and exit.
Detailed Review:
The butter chicken and paneer gravy are on the sweeter side (I liked the butter chicken; the paneer was fine), and the overall spice texture brings out the taste of South Indian food beautifully. The uttapam (salted pancake) was well cooked and tasted nice with sambhar. The naan was fresh and hot. The fish curry cooked nicely with no excess smell. I liked the fried rice (it depends on the palate. Some folks like it more cooked) and veg pulao. Dal fry was nice.
The spring rolls were frozen and could have been better. There could be more textual details and information on the dishes. A better variety of desserts would be nice, the gulab jamun I had was average.
I have listed down the buffet content for reference.
Overall, there are plenty of options for vegan and non-vegan persons.

“Went in on a whim last night and although the place was empty, the staff and who I presume were the owners were super kind, friendly and pretty informative.
My friends and I did family style and ordered several plates such as the kadai chicken, chicken Andhra 65, Hyderabad chicken biryani, and the 3 foot dosa.
All of it came out excellent and we were particularly impressed with how fun eating dosas is as an activity with friends.
The highlight for all of us was the kadai chicken as it was very flavorful and paired very well with rice.
This place is awesome, and deserves to be visited!”

“I recently visited Chettinad Restaurant during our trip to Oregon and had a pleasant dining experience overall. The restaurant is clean, well-maintained, and has a comfortable atmosphere, making it a nice spot for enjoying Indian food with family or friends.
We ordered the Veg Dum Biryani, but the dish that arrived looked quite different from what we typically expect for a dum biryani. It resembled more of a pulao or possibly a Chettinad-style biryani, which made us wonder if there was a mix-up with the order. That said, the dish was still flavorful and enjoyable, just not aligned with the traditional dum biryani style we anticipated.
We also tried the Paneer Tikka, which was very good — well-seasoned, nicely grilled, and served with a fresh taste that stood out.
Overall, while the biryani didn’t quite match expectations, the quality of the food was good, and the restaurant offered a pleasant dining environment with attentive service. I would be open to returning to try a few more dishes from their menu.”
