Ordered the English version and was billed. They sent the Spanish version and did not respond to my request for the English version for 11 hours ( after we did the walk). I believe this is a scam from India. I have asked for a refund and none was given. I will be contacting VISA to try to get the payment cancelled. Service unacceptably slow and not helpful.

Chennai has very few malls to boast off. But Phoenix Market city Mall, which is at 10-12 minutes from ITC Grand Chola Hotel, is quite good. It has most major brands and boasts of a Hypermarket too, Big Bazaar. There are a few eateries with reasonably good food. Can consider for a visit when in Chennai.

Really bad. The guides are just a few mins each, no real insight, and not well read. Strongly advise against this.

Phoenix is a very good shopping mall. Got all the major brands and it is a workout to walk all through the mall. They have a good range of restaurants too. The food court is pretty standard. If you are looking for a place to hang and shop, this is the place.
Written April 6, 2019
Hi Gordon, I agree it is quite a walk if you want to see the entire Phoenix mall in a day.
