Holy Grill

Barbeque is a cooking technique which is an ancient one. Our forefathers have perfected this art of cooking while on their hunting trips when all they were left with was wooden twigs. Barbequed fare has always found a place in royal kitchens where the cooks were entrusted with stacks of fresh games and expected to prepare something sensational. Since then this fare has transferred itself into the local households with a flourish. Chennai too has seen a deep admiration for barbeque food which bought forth a tide of trendy restaurants specialising in this particular fare. Part of this trendy arrivals is a fantastic eatery which is tailor made for foodies enthusiastic about barbeque. Located in bustling lanes of Nungambakkam area, the restaurant falls on Khader Nawaz Khan Road. The locality is a busy and a vibrant one dominated by superb restaurants and pubs.

Holy Grill often plays host to cheerful families, foodie friends, hungry office goers and even tourists. The restaurant is a popular one, a fact reinforced by the difficulty in acquiring a table. The place is busy all the time, even on weekdays. Lunch time bear witness to many team lunches and corporate outings. Holy Grill keeps a very dark and earthy kind of décor. It’s entirely done in wooden tones from ceiling to floor, not a single drop of another colour to add a relief. The deep brown décor doesn’t seem too dull because of the abundant space provided by the restaurant. Formal tables and cosy booths are included so you can dine in comfort. Walls are painted with striking food related murals in white tone. Few modern lamps hanging overhead, casts a soft golden glow around the room. The effect is earthy yet chic.

Tables are fitted with a small live grill which is later loaded with scrumptious appetizers for you to grill. Menu is completely vegetarian and explores only the North-Indian cuisine. We find their buffet spread much more economical but their a la carte is pretty good as well. Menu is short and crisp with crowd pleasing dishes. Enjoy starters like, malai paneer tikka, subzi gilafi seekh, Moscow French onion soup, crispy chilli potato, masaledar bhutta, afghani lesuni broccoli, garam samosa ragda chat, shabnam ki moti and reshmi paneer tikka.
