Our Heritage

A Heritage of Taste

Chutneys is more than just a restaurant; it’s a celebration of South Indian culinary heritage.

Established with a passion for authenticity, we specialize in traditional dishes from Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka. Our journey began in 1985 with a simple goal: to serve the same homely, flavorful meals that have been passed down through generations.

Every dosa is handcrafted, every curry is aromatic, and every bite tells a story of tradition and love. We use stone-ground spices and family-secret recipes to ensure that every meal is an experience.

The Craft

The Art of the Perfect Dosa

01

The Fermentation

Our batter is naturally fermented for 24 hours, giving it that signature tang and airy texture.

02

The Temperature

We use thick cast iron griddles, seasoned for decades, to achieve that perfect golden-brown crisp.

03

The Poured Art

Our chefs use a circular motion, learned over years of practice, to spread the batter to paper-thin perfection.
