Exquisite Chettinad Cuisine

The food at Chidambara Vilas was absolutely good! I had the traditional feast served on a banana leaf, and it was an experience like no other. Each dish captured the authentic flavors of Chettinad cuisine. The kitchen delivered really good quality, and I truly felt like I was enjoying a home-cooked meal. Special shout out to the chefs for their amazing attention to each ingredient and dish.

Chidambara Vilas is a stunning mansion that truly captures the essence of Chettinad living. The rooms are beautifully furnished and comfortable, making for a lovely stay. The staff, especially Frederick and Dinesh, go above and beyond to provide genuine service and ensure an unforgettable experience. However, the swimming pool area needs some maintenance, and the women's change room could use more attention. Nevertheless, my overall experience was unique and memorable, making it worth the visit.
