Years Of Experience
At Chettinad Mess, we bring you an experience that goes beyond dining—it’s a celebration of flavor, community, and creativity. But what exactly is a mess?
In South India, a mess is more than just a place to eat; it’s a gathering spot, a place where people come together to enjoy hearty meals, share stories, and connect with one another. Traditionally, a mess serves simple yet deeply flavorful food that nourishes both the body and soul, usually in a casual, family-like atmosphere.
At Chettinad Mess, we honor this tradition, but we’ve reimagined it. We’ve taken the soul of the mess—its warmth, simplicity, and communal spirit—and added a modern twist. Our Fusion Mess blends the bold, aromatic flavors of Chettinad cuisine with influences from around the world, creating a truly unique dining experience. Here, we fuse the best of South Indian culinary tradition with contemporary techniques, global spices, and creative combinations, bringing you something that’s both familiar and exciting.
Our menu reflects this fusion of old and new. From classic dishes like biryanis and dosas to innovative creations you’ve never tasted before, we’re constantly pushing the boundaries of what a mess can be. Each dish tells a story—of tradition, creativity, and our love for great food that brings people together.
At Chettinad Mess, it’s not just about the food. It’s about the experience. It’s about enjoying meals that are as adventurous as they are delicious, in an environment where everyone is welcome, and every meal feels like a gathering of friends and family.
We invite you to experience our Fusion Mess—where every bite is a fusion of heritage, innovation, and love. Come join us and be part of the story.

The best Chettinad food I’ve had outside India! The spices were perfectly balanced, and the flavors brought back memories of home. The staff were incredibly welcoming, and the ambiance felt cozy and authentic. Highly recommend the Chicken Chettinad and Parotta!
An amazing place for authentic South Indian food in the UK! The Chettinad curries were bursting with rich flavors, and the freshly made dosas were crispy and delicious. The service was excellent, and I can’t wait to come back for more.
I’ve tried many Indian restaurants, but this Chettinad mess is truly special. The dishes were packed with authentic spices and cooked to perfection. The Fish Fry and Mutton Biryani were standout dishes. Definitely a hidden gem for Indian cuisine lovers!
What a fantastic dining experience! The food was absolutely delicious, especially the Pepper Chicken and Kuzhambu. It’s rare to find such an authentic Chettinad restaurant in the UK. The portions were generous, and the flavors were spot on.
