Sachin Ka Dhabba, Greames Road, Chennai

I wonder to see +ve comments on Sachin Ka Dhaba. This is one of the worst restaurant I have seen ever. I had been once to the restaurant which is on kodambakka high road, chennai, with a great expectation. I was completely dissatisfied with poor food quality, service and ambience. If you are planning for this restaurant I would say A BIG NO!

If I talk about the food, I placed order for Tandoor chicken, order too 40 odd minutes, the bearer not at all bother to hear us. Finally after waiting for 40 min, when we got the order, the food was damn cold and it was not even properly cooked. The taste was very bad. The place was neither clean nor properly maintained. The tables were unclean, no tissue papers were available :( even after requesting multiple times. The bearer who served us was non co-operative, poor listing skills. You may end up reminding him many times, even after not sure you will get what you ordered.

The other experience which I had with this restaurant was about the bill payment. They swiped my credit card twice for the bill payment and told me that both the transaction got failed. So I had to pay the money in other mode. But, after seeing subsequent months credit card statement I was surprised!

I saw both these transaction were successful. When I brought this to my bankers notice, they informed me that the money has been claimed by the merchant, and suggested to speak with them for quick solution. When I spoke to the merchant, he denied same saying, "They have not received any money from bank", though I showed him all the proof. Finally, they softned to their stand and agreed to check their account. I followed up with them for more then 2 month, during this time I visited the store couple of times.

Due to their poor response, finally, I had to send a dispute letter to my bank to investigate the discrepancy and claim the money back. Funniest part of the story is that, the restaurant cashier connected me to owner of the Dhaba Mr. Sachin, even he couldn't do much about this.

So, Be careful! if you are paying through the credit card. Be wise enough to cross check with your banks customer care if you face similar problem.

Sachin ka dhabba is excellent food at affordable price.It may not be the fancy dining place, to go but definetly a satisfaction for your taste buds.The place is very simple and keeps up to the name dhabba.There are lot of options for the veggies and the non-veggies, in tandoors.The chicken tandoori being my favourite.

The chilli fish was another great dish.The rotis and parattas are all excellent and the service is quick and prompt .The menu is almost the same you find usually in dhabbas but it tastes so good.It also has the drinks like jal jeera, masala pepsi and lassi, which all are just authentic.

The kulfi is the best I liked here, with all other restaurants serving kulfi in frozen pots that takes more than half an hour to eat, this place has authentic conical kulfis in right consistency, that melts in your mouth with chunks of pistas and badams to crunch. Well sachin ka dhabba, keeps your stomach and your wallet stuffed.

Sachin ka Dhaba"... a golden place to have food and friendly service together.

To have a single time diet - you don't have to check your vallet while you are in Dhaba Express - thts the best deal over here - You can afford this best quality food, depending on your pocket money exp. only everyday -

Mr. Sachin - the great Man - owner with his own ideas -He started his career with 6 table + 18 chairs = Sachin ka dhaba (poster), in Anna Nagar - Chennai. Today he is proudly serving the food in Chennai market - His competiters have no choice except to close their restaurant or to run in great loss or to servive in market for their name shake.

I congrate Mr. Sachin to have great success in his career - he is 24 x 7 (A person never sleeps in life is called Mr. Sachin Mehndiratha - owner f dhaba express). I have been working with him - with his blessings! Mr. Sachin - once again all the best for your next challenges in career -I love you!

Sachin Ka Dabba is situated near Kodambakkam Bridge which ends at the juncture of North Usman Road and where the Numgambakkam High Road Starts. The ambience of the restaurant is very good with black and white blow up photos of Nargis and other old timers in the film industry. Service is excellant and they talk and understadn only Hindi and likes, but not tamil, which is the local language in the city of Chennai.

Parking might be a problem if you are driving to this place in car, since there is no designated parking space, but two wheelers can get away with parking right in front of the Dhabba beside the road.

The ground floor is more of a kitchen than a serving place and the dining floor is on the first floor.

All the vegetarian dishes are good and Lachadar Paratta and Mooli Paratta are soft and tasty here. The gravies are also good, do not forget to try the Masala Pepsi in the menu. It will be more of a Pepsi customized to taste like Jal Jeera, interesting drink for risk takers.

The non vegetarian dishes looked ok, (I am a Vegan and so is my group). This is going by the sizzling manner in which they are served, yes sizzler versions are also available, famous and this is one of the few such affordable Dhabbas which do so.

They also offer wonderful Pan at additional cost with Sweet Somph to finish the food with a lingering taste even while you leave the restaurant.
