Rain Forest Cafe
How many times do we come across a restaurant that pleases all categories of people - be it some young couple wanting some privacy or a family wishing to have a nice meal together or a group of friends who want to make noise, have fun and enjoy. I visited one such place in chennai which can claim to satisfy all the groups - Rain Forest Cafe.
I have been to the Rain Forest Cafe in the US. They have adopted the same concept. The restaurant is in the basement, and gives a cave effect. In the evenings with all those lights, the place looks great. The door to the restaurant is something like what you find in Alibaba and 40 thieves. When we finished our diner and came near the door, it opened by itself. We did not even have to say abracadabra. But we did learn the secret, it seems, someone from inside rings a bell whenever a customer is about to leave, and the guy standing out opens the door - Cool ah!
The ambience is great! There is a small waterfall, there are bamboo sticks on the walls with leaves all over. We did not have an elaborate meal, but the vegetable manchurian balls is defenitely going to make me go over again. The restaurant has both veg and non-veg. I am not sure how the non-veg items are, all the vegetarian items we had tasted good. The prices are a bit steep and i think they could have taken more care while choosing the decorations - be it the leaves on the walls or the tomatoes on the table - a lil more quality would have made it more appealing.
However, the concept is new, the ambience is cool, the service is great and food is tasty - so, if you want to enjoy your evening and have good food then rain forest cafe is a good choice.
Rainforest cafe is near Adyar signal. You will miss it but for the electric lights around their name board.
