If you ever want to dine in the jungle, you don’t have to travel far:
simply drive down to Adyar. Rainforest has been a family favourite ever
since it opened as one of the earliest theme restaurants in the city. A
man with a crocodile casually slung over his shoulder greets you at the
door — he’s just a painting, of course — and on entering, it’s like
stepping into a different world. Rocky walls, creepers hanging from the
ceiling, and the slightly eerie background noise of crickets chirping.
Occasionally, an animal roars, startling you out of your reverie, while
you’re waiting for your food to arrive.
The menu is multi-cuisine, features a lot of North Indian and
Indo-Chinese flavours, and is geared towards pleasing non-vegetarians.
Be prepared for a wait if you’re going on the weekend; it’s popular
enough and they don’t take reservations. Weekend evenings might be a
better time to visit. However, you can while away the time with the kili josiar who makes his rounds at the restaurant.
