It is not clean i kitchen. The dishes spoon and fork are often not cleaned. The hotel is good but kitchen is not good. I remember instances where they could not even cook sambar rice properly or curd rice. Avoidable...

The service staff is fairly rude and denied us lunch for being 5 minutes late and showed us the way out, while the restaurant had other customers yet to be served. This goes on to show that making a good eatery is more than just furniture and pretty clothed staff. Situated in a restaurant which claims to give an experience of Indian heritage, this restaurant is certainly a big blotch. So, yes, don't waste your money, time and energy, it's not worth it.

Typical Chettinad cuisine & other South Indian dishes served in a simple ambience.
Reviews:
Very nice place to visit with friends and family. Ambience is great with hut like structures with kids play area at the centre of restaurant. Parents can enjoy their meal while Kids are safely monitored by the staff. Serves traditional dishes with modern touch. Tastes good. Price is reasonable. They also have adjacent ice cream & juice shops.

The place is meant for a cool evening fun dinner with friends and family. The log benches are quite uncomfortable to dine. But the place is gud with the rustic setting, highlighting the language and culture of Tamilians. Desserts can be better. It's a hub for non veg authentic Tamil food lovers

The ambience of this hotel is quite different and remembers about the Jallikattu, and the taste of the food is kind of average to good.. Briyani is very good, muttom side dishes are also good, I had mutton pepper fry, mutton chukka the mutton they provided was very tender and soft it was just melting in mouth, but mutton boti which I ordered was cooked well but taste is below average. Overall hospitality is good and price is also reasonable.. if any one visiting Madurai can try this hotel you will never regret, try to go for dinner becoz dosa varieties will be available for dinner only. Special note is the innovation in their menu card actually i am impressed with it.

Kumar mess

Multicuisine thaali with spicy Chettinad fare in simple surrounds.
Reviews:
An exceptional experience with delicious food and waiters who gave a masterclass in hospitality. I went there quite hungry and I was mentally preparing myself to wait for the food. Like magic, in the time it takes most restaurants to bring the bottled water, my food arrived. And it arrived steaming hot and tasted absolutely excellent. There is something special about the way they make their mutton dishes in particular. The welcoming, warm, and witty staff will leave your heart as full as your stomach.

Went to Kumar mess for dinner when I was in Madurai last week. Went to the first floor space as ground floor was full. Got a table and we ordered food. Most items were served within 5-10 mins. We ordered one Mutton Biriyani(Seeraga Samba), which was good but quantity was below average. Had ordered one veechu parotta which was hot and ok. Had ordered 2 Kari dosas, which was like oothappams with chicken stuffed - Was good with chicken gravy and chutney. Mutton kola urandais were ordered which was not hot but tasted ok. Extra chicken curry was ordered which tasted ok. Had ordered a crab omelette for myself and plain omelette for my parents - Both were good. It Costed around 1500 for 3 people, which I think is the standard with these mess kind of restaurants in Madurai. Can try this restaurant for authentic Madurai dishes when you are near this place. Only thing to note is the dish prices need to be checked before ordering, or else a tourist might get a shock if you are travelling on a large group as the prices are above average, but quantity served is below the average.

Well maintained restaurant with good atmosphere and service. I went little early and there is no rush. I've tried only Chicken Curry Dosa. It was excellent. Must try. They also serve fresh and hot briyani for dinner and all spare parts of chicken, mutton and sea foods. Don't miss this food. Try once. They have both ac and non AC dining.

Mutton Biriyani is a must try, mutton rib fry was one of the best. Mutton dosa is really good.
Keerthan mk
Decent food and good parking facility also very good service and seating facility not very much crowded and this is also one of the top rated restaurants in Madurai mutton biryani is there special and they also have crab egg omelette which I tried. But as of my opinion, I’m not satisfied with the crab omelette but I really like the mutton biryani
