Chennai Kings restaurant combines family-friendly, decent prices, a cozy ambiance, and attentive service. Opting for the Veg Biryani and Mushroom Masala.The biryani was well-spiced, and the inclusion of vegetables like cauliflower and beans added a delightful crunch. The portion size of the biryani could have been more generous. The Mushroom Masala, initially served on the drier side, was promptly adjusted to my preference when I requested it in gravy form. The staff's responsiveness and willingness to cater to individual tastes deserve commendation. Parking, although on the street, proved to be manageable, and there is an additional paid parking space in nearby for convenience..

The food was good, especially the non veg dishes. The idlies were so so. Cannot expect better in a non veg restaurant. The chutneys were served straight from the refrigerator. Most restaurants do so in SF. But serve Tomato or red color fresh chutney along with a coconut or peanut chutney. Wish they serve atleast one fresh chutney instead of both chilled.

Delicious food and wide variety of indian food options to choose from. It was nice cozy setup and special mention to various photo collages of famous people from Tamil Nadu, India from various fields.
Giving one less star for the wait time and portion size as per the price.

Food was awesome, service was great, and location / atmosphere was awesome!!
I felt welcomed as soon as I stepped in. I had to order takeout for the family l, we were staying nearby. I was given good direction on spice profiles and flavors to be expected. Their Paratha's and butter chicken were unbelievably tasty!!!! I also tried a Shrimp curry - everything we had was delightful. My 2-year old and wife approved of the butter chicken!!!
Inside had an awesome vibe - and great movies playing :)

We were skeptical about the place before we got there, but were pleasantly surprised at the quality and authenticity of the South Indian food. Don't go here for the atmosphere, but if u are craving for authentic South Indian food around fisherman's wharf, then u should try this.

Were visiting from Florida. This restaurant was close by and after looking at reviews , decided to give it a try. Glad we did. All the items on the menu we ordered were very good and felt like home taste. Only here for tonight, but this is a must try restaurant !! Fast and friendly customer service is an icing on cake .

No idea why this is rated so low. This place was awesome. The people running the store were kind, the food was good, and the price was affordable.
The only thing I would say could be improved is the wait time to get a table. When I went, there was only 5 other people in the restaurant, and the two kind ladies working at the time took about 10 minutes to get me seated.
Not a huge deal, I wasn't in a hurry or anything and they seemed busy with something in the kitchen so I don't take any points off for it, but I can see someone who's hungry being upset by the unclear wait time.

Good food at cheap price. Loved the dosas and the kuttu parathas. Perfect spice levels and fresh ingredients. The service was alright as well. They were really kind to us as we were students and gave us additional discounts too. Would go again when I wanna have Indian food
