Midnight buffet at Chennai’s Main Street

Picture this: You take off in your car, drive down the ECR road, stopping by the Casurina Bay to soak in the wondrous moonlight on this beautiful beach stretch. An hour or two passes by, when you finally decide to head back home, only to hear your tummy rumble.

Where does one head to satiate a rumbling tummy at this hour? The answer is simple: Main Street. Located at Residency Towers, Main Street is home to a sumptuous buffet spread. The décor of this place is modelled on a typical street corner. With wrought iron tables, chairs, and lampposts to boot amongst others, the atmosphere of this place is certainly very vibrant.

The buffet is a mixture of Continental and Indian fare. The salads, assortment of breads and soups are tempting to the say the least. The buffet is well-balanced, and has a bit of everything to keep both vegetarians and non-vegetarians satisfied. Special mention must be made to the Indian section of the buffet which is delightfully tasty. The murgh rashishta kabab, paneer tikka, peas pulao, kadai vegetables and chicken dishes all deserve a special mention.

But don’t fill your tummy just yet. The dessert section of the buffet is mouth-watering. Brownies, crepes, and puddings amongst others fill this section, and woo you to try them all. Obviously, this section of the buffet isn’t meant for the calorie-conscious.

What makes the midnight buffet here worthwhile is that it leaves you satisfied, without burning a hole in your pocket, and is open till 3:00am.

Midnight rendezvous, anyone?
