Cooking With Passion

    In the light of insight that we earned from our long-term experience in the field of culinary, Chennai Express is our dream come true to provide a homely space where our guests can enjoy all types of food and varieties of traditional dishes. Our team has travelled throughout South India exploring the variance of food. It was evident from the exploration that the food which is prepared by adding the spices and herbs in the right proportion becomes really tasty and healthy too. Healthy in the sense..
