At first atmosphere is awesome , it is typical traditional look restaurant. Service is amazing as it expected with brand of hotel , what was let down was the food . We ordered Andhra fish curry but it was no where near the taste of what we have expected It would be a good restaurant for not so hardcore Chennaites.

Excellent food. Very good service. A little expensive, but worth the money. A good place to take your international friends. They really enjoyed the hospitality and food

Ambience, comfort, superb food, excellent service, everything that one expects from a Taj restaurant. It more than lives up to the Taj promise. The food from all four southern states are mouthwatering the only downside is that it is expensive

Splendid ambience and comfort, superb food, attentive staff, 5-star treatment for customers... exactly what one wants (and expects) from a Taj property. And Southern Spice doesn't disappoint.

The best experience of any business lunch with your friend should happen with good food and beer with minimal intervention. Happen to take one of my foreign business friend who was looking for a good south indian veg food. This was a great place in the heart of the Chennai city. Definitely an expensive place but every penny spend was... More

The restaurant is dark and gloomy and was quite empty on the day we went for lunch. The food was very, very average. Did not expect that in a Taj speciality restaurant. Very disappointed. Will not go back. The same restaurant in its previous avatar was so much better.

Magnificent food showcasing authentic dishes from the southern states of India. The staff is attentive and helpful. The chefs are happy to temper the spices you suit your palate. A wonderful dining experience. Love going back for more.
