Arusuvai Chettinad is hands down the place to go for authentic Chettinad food. The flavors are spot on and bring the true taste of South India to your plate. I especially love their Thalis and their amazing buffet served in Banaba leaf on the weekends. They're not just delicious but also served in a way that makes the whole experience feel special. The service is warm and attentive, making you feel right at home. The ambiance is clean, inviting, and decorated with touches that remind you of the south, which adds to the charm. If you're craving genuine Chettinad flavors in a cozy, well-kept spot, you've got to try Arusuvai Chettinad. Highly recommend!

I've always had a fantastic experience at Arusuvai Chettinad Restaurant with their food and service consistently going above and beyond. However, during my recent visit, I was a bit disappointed with the Mutton kizhi Parotta. The curry wasn't fully cooked, which was surprising considering how excellent the other dishes were. Despite this, we still left happy with the overall meal. My request to the management would be regarding specialty items like the Kizhi Parotta, which understandably take more time to prepare. That evening, the restaurant was quite busy, and after waiting for about 40 minutes, the dish still didn't meet expectations. I would suggest informing customers ahead of time if such dishes might take longer so they can consider other options. This way, they can continue to enjoy the top-notch experience Arusuvai Chettinad restaurant is known for.

This was extremely authentic Indian cuisine. I was very happy. As you see, we got a variety of things to try! The service was great- they kept checking in to make sure the food was good and the spice wasn't too heavy. They kept refilling our rice. And the ambiance was casual and quiet!

Food was so delicious, highly recommend it. The banana leaf unlimited meals on Saturday had an extensive menu and delicious options.

Best South Indian food. Good service. Must try parota korma. Paneer masala dosa. No delay in service. Crowded on Saturdays got to be early or late for lunch :)

Looks like they made a comeback. Big fan of this restaurant when it opened but during/covid it deteriorated but now it looks its better. Butter chicken, koli gasi chicken and mutton sukhha ws delicious. The paratha with egg ws too overpriced. Overall delicious Indian food with southern indian flavors.

My favorite Indian place in Somerville closed ....boooooo and I needed to find a replacement. This place did not disappoint! Wonderful food, service, atmosphere etc! We got there at 12 on a Sunday and by 12:30 there was a wait for a table. I'd go back in a heartbeat!
