Eating in the Main Street

Dinner at the Main Street in The Residency Towers in Sir Thiyagaraja Road, Chennai is a different experience. The entire restaurant had a different ambiance with "sidewalk cafe" like effect, street lights, advertisements about European designers and outfitters and above all a sumptuous and delectable buffet. There was a chaat corner where different varieties were prepared real time, though the choices were limited. The vegetarian spread was excellent and well-made. I was a little disappointed with the limited number of starters and sparse varieties in the drinks menu. The service was impeccable and the evening was polished off with a good spread at the dessert table. The dessert was an excellent mix and match of Eastern and Western Delights. The mango cheesecake was a sad affair but it was well compensated by the carrot halwa, payasam and sugar free desserts like kesar burfi!

Live music played on through the night and requests were taken in. All in all, the evening was pleasant and made more pleasant because of the restaurant!
