Fantastic Chettinand restaurant in Yangon, Myanmar

When I spent a lot of time in Yangon about twenty years ago, I hardly ventured into an Indian restaurant (except for briyani) and therefore do not have much memories of Indian food. So, I was rather surprised when my Burmese friend suggested this place. As he had spent a number of years studying in KL, he is well versed in the Indian cuisine.

This restaurant has also been around for decades and recent renovations makes it at par with Indian restaurants in Malaysia. It is located in the heart of the city.

Looks the types of curries...yummy

Yummy crab curry

Friendly servers, probably not many tourists come here

Really good stuff

What can I say


One of the best rasam I had (piping hot too)


Fantastic tea too
The place was crowded during lunch and very noisy too as the waiters shout to the counter who then repeats the order and this is going on all the time. Although noisy, it does add character to the place.

I must say the food is really good and the variety of curries is stunning. Lots of seafood curry which we don't get much in Malaysia. The rasam was also fantastic and piping hot, the way I like it. I had two refills. With a very nice tea to top it off, it was a perfect meal. Luckily I did not eat much rice but the temptation was so great...if not, there goes the work in the afternoon.

Until the next time, cheers.
