This place is meant for the ambience n best cocktails. I give 9/10 for service. But the recreation could hav been maintained properly. Totally a superb place to dine.
Sunday Lunch. Was taking a few foreigners for a meal – and I was not too certain if they’s want to eat something Indian or Western / Thai. At the same time, I wanted a place close to the sea – and hence, Kipling Cafe / Kipling Masala. Though listed as different places on Zomato – they are serve the food from both menu cards – wherever you choose to sit. (Ofcourse, we ordered from both places – I’ll be mentioning the items from the Indian palate here) Ambiance : This is something that the city raves about. Being a romantic hotspot with their candle light decor and a variety of dining options – open to sea breeze rooftop, top-notch airconditioned dining or the little huts outside on the ground level. Its worth the visit! Location : Just at the Sholingnallur junction – way before the tollplaza. There’s a lot of signs on the main road that will tell you which left to take. Parking : Not within the compound – however, cars can easily park outside on the road. (It’s a sparsely used alley). We chose to sit at the sea facing roof top area – Space for 25 people or so. Beautiful setting. Was worried if flies would destroy the pleasant atmosphere – thankfully, none of that. What we ordered : * Prawns Tikka : Extremely soft and succulent. Nicely marinated. However, I thought the mint chutney that came with it was too liquidy. * Stuffed Mushrooms : it’s supposedly stuffed with green peas and marinated in yogurt. However, ours came with minced capsicum – I wish I had known that earlier. I din’t think that the mushroom and capsicum combination went well together. Not the better of the two starters. * Butter Chicken Masala : Tough pieces of Chicken. Though the curry was creamy. * Yellow Dal : Loved this one. Looked like a lot of effort had gone into something as simple as this. * Spinach stuffed with cheese and dry fruits gravy : Forget it’s hindi name and I don’t find it on the menu that’s listed. Great flavour to it. Something different. Cheese and the Indian spices gelled well. * Chicken Biryani : Light. Not oily. The chicken was a little tough. * Naan : Regular. * Gulab Jamun and Rasagulla : Three good sized pieces of each, you’d get. Soft. Not that sweet. You would not need much space in your stomach for this. Great Buys. Cost : About a little over 3000 INR for this. I thought they were decently priced. Not one dish went over the 400 INR mark. Service : When you are on the roof top – give them some time to bring the food up – the waiters walk up two floors as all their kitchens are at ground level. Also, if you are the kind that pays by card – and you are not too comfortable giving the steward the PIN number, please be ready to walk down two floors to the billing counter and pay the bill. They do not have remote POS machines. Bottomline : Except for the chicken, I thought that their dishes were excellent (and hence not a 4.5 rating)! Appealing plating. Beautiful Ambiance. Relaxing two hour meal!
While Kipling Cafe food is nice, Masala food (Indian) needs more finesse. Oil and masala can be more subtle. Ordered the Paneer tikka, tomato shorba and Shaam Savera from the Indian menu and Fettucinni in pink sauce and Lasagne from Italian. The Italian food was great, especially the lasagne. I’ve always been cautious with the Indian menu here and it continues to be that way. Please improve it
Kipling masala is not any less than the kipling cafe i liked it and the food was amazing, worth trying and looking forward visit agin soonm/
A great place to dine in privacy..awesome environment ..cocktails and mocktails are the best over there..But food is not worth the place..a great place to visit once.
A nice setting near the beach with both outdoor and indoor seating. With Chennai heat we found the outdoor seating too warm even in the evening. The service was quite slow. The food was good but not too great
i went here for dinner with my family.. good food, decent service, but nothing to write home about.. however the pricing was very very extremely expensive.. the drinks as well as the food cost a bomb.. seems like the pricing was done with rich foreigners in mind.. the ambience was nice, with live band and outdoor setup.. i would have expected better service, the waiter who served us spoke broken english.. the worst part of the entire evening however was getting to the place.. considering the prices they charge, they have a really pathetic excuse for an approach road!!..
