We visited The Rock restaurant at Adyar. They botched up our reservation and had some confusion before seating us. The ambience is interesting with the forest theme but the lighting is very low and the space available even lower. It gives a claustrophobic dining experience. Being in the basement of the building doesn't help either. The menu has Indian, Chinese... More

We decided to visit the branch at Anna Nagar for a family dinner. The ambience was pretty dim and in low light. At places there were tables but not enough lighting. The food is not so great to write home about. Except for the soup, which was kind of ok. we ordered from the Indian Menu and the food turned... More

They have a very good theme of forest. been there to their Velacherry branch and to Adyar branch. Both are good. and they have multi-cuisine where everyone can have their choice. The location is in a prime spot. Better to book in advance and go. Else we may need to wait. More

Went with my team members for a Lunch. Its kind of a theme restaurant but its limited to entrance only (Rocky-Cave kind of entrance with water fountain). Food was like ok-ok kind, not that much good. Ambience is good but the seating arrangement is like "Andhra Mess". In a small place they have put more number or tables in series.... More

It's really good restaurant for an affordable price. We 15 guys had a very nice food. It's one of the very few restaurants where you can get good quality n quantity for an affordable price. One can try this restaurant. It's better to reserve prior to visiting this restaurant as it's getting crowded these days. Had been to Adyar rock... More

I never had this type of worst food in my life. Here in Chennai, folks have enough money to waste, that's why no one raise the voice. Horrible food, crap service, worst quality. If anyone likes the food in "The Rock", they should try other similar restaurant to understnad the poor quality of food in The Rocks. More

An excellent place to dine. Value for the money you shell out. Ambience is good. But not good if you are planning to go with a very big gang of 25+ in peak times as the restra is small by size. But food is awesome for what you pay. More

Great theme and ambience.Nice Oriental , Indian and Tandoor food in the locality. Place seems to be friendly and catchy with innovative concepts.Staffs seems to be courteous and prompt in the service.One good find out there at velachery moderately filled with couples, parties, family and kids, seems as if more than a restaurant with indoor waterfalls etc Their sizzlers, wow!...
