Excellent service and food! Very quick service if placed ahead of time! Been a regularly at this place for almost 10 years and never found it disappointing. Has limited menu but the taste is delicious especially the tawa calamari and tawa potato and their classic creamy rich white sauce! The tawa potato iiis bomb! The panacotta comes in different flavours based on syrup but is never disappointing! Creamy and cheesy omelette to satisfy all cheesy cravings!

We ordered White Sauce Paneer, Tava Paneer with Butter Rice, & Chocolate Panna cotta. The food is absolutely lovely. The best food I had in Chennai.

Loved this place! It’s not a fancy fine dining restaurant. It’s a tiny shack in a small gully leading up to Mahabs beach. You can easily miss the location at night. Seating is in the rooftop where you can feel the salty breeze and hear the sound of the waves. There are soft fairy lights and pretty basic plastic tables and chairs but the sea makes up for any lack of ambience. Perfect place to chill with friends over a laid back dinner with drinks. We ordered tawa potato, tawa calamari and tawa chicken for main course. Chicken and mushroom in white sauce was our appetiser or you could say pre-main-course! Portion size is huge and we felt two people could’ve easily shared one tawa dish, We struggled to finish our order. The tawa masala is finger-licking good! It’s a thick red, chilli+ghee paste that’s coated on your choice of meat/seafood or potato/mushroom for vegetarians. You can taste the flavour of fresh whole spices like cinnamon, star anise, poppy, black pepper as well. The tawa roast is served on a big bed of basmati rice simple cooked in salted butter and chopped coriander. The buttery rice helps to mellow the robust almost fiery raw masala from the tawa masala. Highly recommend this dish! Our starter of white sauce chicken and mushroom strangely arrived after the main course. But it was worth the wait. The white sauce here is not the traditional French roux based sauce . It seems to be a cream+cheese sauce. But it’s perfectly cooked and packed with flavour and you definitely won’t miss the traditional white sauce. This goes well with butter rice as well as it’s good eaten alone. Dinner at Sunrise definitely means you’ve to forget the calorie count for the day. Everything is rich with butter or ghee. We ended the meal on a light note with curd rice. The curd rice here is phenomenal. It’s the perfect perfect balance of creamy & tangy. Went extremely well with the tawa potato. Verdict : Must visit for the addictive tawa masala and gorgeous sea-side shack feel !

My friend suggested me this restaurant, well it was so hard to find this restaurant, since it is located in residential area, no proper boards.. We have to Google it. This restaurant has lot of positives... Restaurant on top floor overlooking the temple and beach and it's very breezy not air-conditioned and it gives you a very nice atmosphere to sit and relax and have the food. We ordered tawa prawn, tawa chicken and tawa potato with butter rice, honey chicken and white sauce pasta, Chicken was tender, potatoes were crispy and rice was flavourful. They were perfectly cooked and spiced. I can guarantee you this ll be some of the best places to have white suace. Ambience was good, the staff are very nice and welcoming. Overall experience was good Must try honey prawn and tawa potatoes with butter rice 😋

Location : Finding the place can be a bit of a task as it is situated a wee bit in the interior area. But, then we do have Google maps. Parking : No dedicated parking area but you can easily park your car around the area. Ambience : the restaurant is on the top floor overlooking the temple and the beach and it's very breezy.Its not an air-conditioned place and it gives you a very nice atmosphere to sit and relax and have the food. Staff : The staff is very nice and welcoming. Food : The food is one of my fav here.The butter rice or ghee rice along with tava chicken and tava prawn is a highly recommended.other dishes are also good and the taste quotient is also very good. Billing : They also have Google pay option now,apart form CASH & CARD .

Food - Tawa prawns with butter rice was great. Well cooked, spicy & flavorful prawns with rice tossed in butter. Chicken in White sauce is also good for the white sauce lovers. Ambience - breezy & peaceful rooftop with a view of the Shore temple

We visited for Sunday lunch and ordered butter rice, Egg fried rice, prawn thokku and Malabar fish curry. Except for lemon soda and KF they did not have any drinks so did not order anything. Everything was mediocre. Ambience - 3.5/5 Taste - 3.5/5 Quantity - 4/5 Cost - 4.5/5 Service - 3.5/5 Hygiene - 2/5(Got a hair strand in rice)
