B R Matsya Restaurant
Thanikachalam Road,
T Nagar, Chennai 600 017
Tel 044 4212 7007
It was 9:30 pm, after a tiring shopping experience in RMKV, Saravana Stores and Big Bazaar (its entertaining for ladies…lol!!!). The ladies of the house wanted to eat outside and did not want to go home and prepare dinner. We gents did not want to take the risk of offending them, coz any offense on our part will leave us hungry.
I had heard about Matsya, which is a Udipi Restaurant. Found this as an opportunity to experience the food there.
Matsya is on the road next to “Big Bazaar”. There is valet parking, but not ample.
The restaurant was crowded by my niece gave the go ahead due to a small children playing area available within.
There are two options, either we can go for the Buffet (costs around Rs. 300/- plus taxes, menu varies on a day-to-day basis) or the normal a la carte method.
We thought its better to order by menu instead of the Buffet.
After 5 minutes of waiting period, we a group of 7 people were ushered in. The restaurant was very much crowded. 2 tables were joined to enable us to be seated together, but the tables were not cleaned. It took us literally telling them some 3 to 4 times to clean the table, after which it was done. Later, the menu came. We ordered the dinner, the waiter had the courtesy to say that it will take half-n-hour to bring them. We were fine with it as we were tired and wanted to relax a bit.
The menu consists of some weird names for dishes.
Ordered “Raja Raja Cholan Dosa” for my father, a normal dosa with some veg masala which was little bit on the sweet-sour kind. Had this been prepared in our house, my father would have thrown a fit. . We tasted it a bit, and found it not so worthy of the cost against it.
We ordered some North Indian and Continental dishes. Must say, that the Dry Gobi Manchurian, Crumb Fry Mushroom, Szechwan Noodles, Baked Pasta were good. My sister wanted to try the “Rilli Milli Subji”, but on tasting found it to be like a normal subji masala.
The staffs were courteous. The experience was good.
But the place is always crowded.
Ambience is good.
One major appreciable thing about this restaurant is its spic and span restrooms. Have found that rarely a Chennai restaurant restroom looks so clean.
Worth visiting, but not on a regular basis :)

I wonder how come the weird combination of this Restaurant is working - First Matsya mean Fish, and it is Udupi style,which is for south Indian (more of a Karnatakan/Manglorean) veg in general, and they are offering North Indian's !
