South-Indian food lovers had to travel several miles outside of the Western New York region to discover authentic South-Indian Chettinad delicacies. We felt compelled to bridge this gap in the best interest of not just the Indian community – in fact, we also wanted to create an opportunity for other foodies in this region to experience the magic of authentic Chettinad flavors.
Fast-forward to the present day, we feel ecstatic having launched the first ever South-Indian Chettinad restaurant in the Western New York region!
We cook with our hearts. We serve with love. Come, and experience this homestyle cooking devoid of any chemical preservatives, food colors, MSG, artificial flavors, or anything else of that sort – our assurance to you is our superhigh quality Chettinad food that your taste buds will relish. Donʼt take our word. Taste it and see for yourself!
Youʼre welcome 😉
So, we planned for dinner on Thanksgiving day after visiting Niagara falls. It's almost 8:30pm and there is no nearby restaurant open due to the holiday. So we found this and went to Nellai banana leaf. Honestly, the best restaurant I've ever been to in the East coast. I'm not exaggerating (there might be others too, but I haven't been to one like this) the food quality is damn good. It's authentic south Indian and the people really took good care of us as we were the last people to dine there, they didn't ask us to leave or anything even after close time. Affordable and honest pricing and amazing quality♥️. Would really go there if I visit Buffalo again. I got good vegetarian options for being a chettinad restaurant. (5/5)
elammurali gopuFood was great. My dish came out 15 minutes after everybody else had finished their meal. Everybody was waiting for the check to leave and then my food came. I thought they forgot about me so I was just going to leave and then suddenly the food came. I recommend ordering the dish before you leave your house and it might be ready by the time you're ready to go back home.

elammurali gopuAuthentic South Indian flavors with an amazing hospitality. The food reminded me of my hometown. Best South Indian food I've had in a really really long time in the US. Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone who's missing home food (comfort food) or anyone who wants to experience an authentic South Indian delight.
Vinod SelvarajFood came quick, hot and delicious. The service was excellent as well. Our server helped map out our meal and recommend dishes to try. We were new to Southern Indian cooking but had familiarity with Northern Indian. They cuisines are different, so I was great to be helped by the staff to give us the best experience. Don't be afraid to order the pompano tandoori fish. It's a whole fish but your server will show you how to eat it
Josh JansonI wasn't sure what to expect here. I was hoping there would be a lunch buffet, but there was not. Overall, food was delicious! They have a wide variety of items to choose from. The atmosphere is clean, nice, and quiet. The waiter we had was not on his game at all, we ordered an appetizer and did not receive it (at least we weren't charged), he delivered our food to the wrong table, and we had to flag him down to get more drinks. My biggest complaint is the water they provide was not cold, and they carry no soda like Coke, Pepsi, etc.
Kara Morhous SpothGreat food! Great Service! Great work! Went there with my fan for a victory dinner and totally worth it! We ordered a plate of chicken lollipop and it was the star of the night for me! We also ordered 5 more entrees and they were all delicious. Definitely recommend a visit here! Visit here with your family and you'll love it. These are the pictures of Chicken Lollipop & Mutton Kari Dosai!
