I went there with a bunch of cousins earlier this year, and we all really enjoyed the place. It has lovely indoor Seating with French decor, and beautiful outdoor Seating in the Gardens, which include a lily pond. In the busy heart of Chennai it is a cool, green oasis. There is a boutique attached (a little pricey). I like the Mexican style toast and chilly cheese toast. Don't expect quick service - this is the kind of place where people come for a long conversation over coffee, and the service reflects that.

Annalakshmi Restaurant

Reviewed By AlfaGeek - Cheyenne, Wyoming

We went on a Sunday with Reservations made earlier. There is no hope of getting admittance without a reservation.
The food was extremely well prepared, delicious, plentiful, varied and served professionally. One can check out the menu and dishes in detail in advance on their website. If you do this, be sure to read carefully (or ask at reservation time) because not all dishes are available at all times.
Parking on the premises costs a few rupees, nothing outrageous. If you are being dropped there, you may have to tell the guards/security you have a reservation at this restaurant.
The cool thing about this restaurant is it is staffed by volunteers. The proceeds of the restaurant go towards charitable ventures. Good food for a worthy cause, even if it is on the pricey side appeals to my occasional urge to splurge!

Paprika

Paprika is a vibrant informal dining restaurant which caters to the Gen X/Gen Y travelers as well as families. Serving a diverse selection of International comfort food along with a special focus on authentic South Indian flavors showcased on the buffet and a la carte menu.

Reviewed By indiantraveller64 - New Delhi, India

If Paprika is defined by one thing - then it is their Manager Harkaran Singh. Never seen a better Hospitality professional. Saw him picking plates and serving the guests himself leaving his dinner midway. Since we were staying at the Hotel we saw Harkaran at 11.30 p.m and at 9.30 a.m. the next morning. On talking to him we learnt that his typical day starts at 7.30 a.m and ends at 12-12.30 p.m and he was literally living the hotel. He actually enjoyed being at Paprika and ensuring the best F&B experience for guests.
Coming to Food we had a buffet dinner. Their was wide variety as can be expected from a top notch restaurant. Do ask for a thin crust pizza with extra cheese. The service staff was at your beck and call and were ensuring that all the guests had whatever they wanted. Overall a very nice place to dine in.

It's a good coffee shop to grab a quick meal. The food is nice but being a star hotel it's on the expensive side. Service is courteous.

This is one of the restaurants within Hilton Chennai. We had reserved a table, but we got here almost an hour later since our car broke down. Yet, we got a nice table at a good location within the restaurant. The ambiance of the restaurant, the decor, the lighting , the setting of the food counters and almost everything is so pleasent that this would seem to be the best place for celebration of any important event with friends or family. The point i liked the most is that we had all the privacy, despite so many other guests in the restaurant; nice layout of the restaurant/counters.
We were here for dinner, the restaurant offers buffet in dinner and most of us in the family opted for the buffet. The restaurant is open till 11pm. There were plenty of choices for vegetarians, indeed there were 4 various preparations of Paneer alone ! The food was delicious. There's so much to eat, you can only select a few. The desserts were fantastic.
Service was prompt and courteous throughout the dinner. The icing on the cake was the cake itself on the house by the restaurant for the birthday celebration of our son. The cake was outstanding ! For a luxury of this standard, the amount in the bill was comparable with similar 5Star hotels. We walked away with complete satisfaction. Will be here again for yet another celebration or special occasion.

Murgh Malai Kebab - Fantastic. Tender and flavourful.
Paneer Makhani - Amazing. Intensely cheesy and creamy with a smokey, tandoori flavor. Wow.
