I recently had the pleasure of dining at Chennai Tiffins restaurant, and I must say, it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The food here is nothing short of awesome, and every dish we ordered left us completely satisfied.

Chennai tiffins serves up probably the best south Indian food there in RI. We tried goat chettinadu curry, chicken biriyani, fish curry and a few naan bread and parottas. Everything was made with great ingredients and taste akin to hike cooking. Excellent food.

I had two issues with this place, (1) the food quality itself and (2) the customer service.

Pretty solid South Indian food. The north Indian food isn’t very good, but the South Indian is good.

After ordering takeout from here several times, I can attest that Chennai Tiffins has THE most authentic South Indian food in the area, with an amazing variety of Chettinad specialties. Some of my favorite menu items include onion pakoras, podi idli, vegetable kothu parotta, and chettinad vegetable biryani. Very fresh, flavorful, and aromatic with a complex mixture of spices. Nice assortment of condiments (mint cilantro chutney, tamarind chutney, spicy pakora sauce, raita) as well. Best to call in orders for pickup. Very reasonably priced, highly recommended.

We used to be regular customers here for almost a year. I think there is a change in the management and the food doesn’t taste good. The salna is watery, the sambar didn’t have salt. The waitress wasn’t answering politely.

This is one of the hidden gems for indian food lovers in RI. And donot let the looks of the restaurant deceive you of the quality of the food served there.
