ITC Grandchola, Tranquebar - Restaurants In Chennai

I had been many times to ITC,this time had come with friends, had a lovely refreshing evening, the manager accompanied us to the table, Loved the sumptuous food and the ambience, very courteous and friendly staff over all I loved the experience at ITC

I had went to this hotel only 1 time but I had a great experience that time

Food was vry tasty and quality. The ambience was very good

My 5 stars (and beyond) go entirely to the rockstar 'She' bartender Katinao. She was amazingly friendly and such a superstar. She taught us the nitty grittiest of cocktail making and made us feel at home. Had a marvelous evening at the bar thanks to her and the superb sense of camaraderie and girl power!

Amazing Banquet Experience. Very well connected with various modes of transport. Thanks to a conference, experienced their culinary skills and that was a hit.

Excellent food, great taste & variety. Room cleanliness & hygiene factors are quite good. Climate control maintained well

Been to Tranquebar yesterday night for our company event. The bar was exclusively reserved for us. The ambience was very good - perfect air-conditioning, plates in sealed cover, every ITC employee wearing double layer masks, etc etc.

For Starters we had three dishes
Paneer & Aloo patty
Babycorn with Shallots
American Cheese Balls

Starters were good, with no wow factor.

Array of Artisan Cheese - sampled three different cheeses (not sure of their names) and liked two of them.

I ordered two mocktails
Virgin Mary
Lychee based

Both were very good.

For dinner they had
Quesadillas - with Re-Fried Beans and Paneer
Tomato Gojju - with Idlis
Veg Dum Biryani and
Curd rice

The Quesadilla was a let down. Instead of making afresh (for a very small crowd), this was already made in the kitchen and all they were doing was to re-heat it. The tortilla was clearly not fresh and it took efforts to cut it using the fork. ITC, you could do definitely better.

The veg biryani and curd rice were of good quality and taste, nothing extraordinary to write about.

Let me speak about Tomato Gojju with Idlis - in my view, highlight of the day. The Idlis were fluffy, super soft and the tomato gojju made to perfection. Accompaniments - ghee, idli podi garlic podi, potato crisps and fried curry leaves - ensured your taste buds were given a Royal Treatment. Kudos, here.

In the dessert section there were three:
Eggless Madagascar Chocolate Delice
Mango Saffron Choux
Berry cheesecake

Being a vegetarian, I picked the Madagascar Chocolate Delice. This was melting in the mouth, though I regret I couldn't have more than one. 😉

All in all, it was a wonderful evening catching up with colleagues in an informal setting.

Nice Bar ! Must try wine
