Chettinad chicken is one of the curries guests mention most at Madras Curry – it comes up in 40 of our Google reviews. Bold, peppery and deeply spiced, it brings Tamil Nadu cooking to Carlton Street in downtown Toronto.
Chettinad cooking comes from the Chettinad region of Tamil Nadu in South India and is known for its bold use of spices such as black pepper, dried red chillies, fennel and curry leaves, often roasted before they are ground. Chettinad chicken is the region's best-known curry: pieces of chicken simmered in a rich, dark, peppery gravy.
At Madras Curry you will find Chettinad Chicken in the non-veg curries section in two sizes, 16 oz and 24 oz. Pair it with rice, parotta or naan, or try the same flavours wrapped up as a Chettinad Chicken Roti. Prefer lamb? Chettinad Lamb is on the menu too.
"Had an awesome South Indian meal in downtown Toronto. Service was great, and the food honestly felt like being back in Chennai. Don't miss the appetizers, Chettinad Paneer, Podi Idli and Dosa. The sambar was next level."
"Very tasty Indian restaurant in Cabbagetown. Lunch specials as well as a full menu. Food is good, fresh cooked."
"This place was surprisingly good. We enjoyed the non veg thali and lamb kadai for lunch."
