Review
Meenakshi Mess doesn’t have a luxurious ambience, but it has deliciously fresh seafood. The pure Tamil flavours mixed with Kerala influence make this place a unique restaurant. The freshness of the seafood is worth the mention because the owner personally picks it up one by one from the vendor so, there is no old stock, and it’s chemical-free. I tried three different fishes, prawns and a plate of squid. I was very late in ordering prawns and squid so I couldn’t finish it. The Meenakshi Mess owner Ramu did not change me a single rupee. The leftover food went straight to the hungry street dogs. Mr Ramu is a very kind person because he doesn’t care much about money and gives away a lot of free food to poor people who come around the restaurant.
So next time, you are visiting Chennai, do check out this fantastic restaurant. I bet you would love it.
