We visited this beautiful farm restaurant just day before yesterday afternoon for lunch with my brother in law and his family. We all just loved the ambience, especially the lush and lovely garden with the amazingly vibrant flowers as soon as we entered the farm gate. We were seated in the thatched roof seating. We noticed they have a huge outdoor seating area , one side with thatched roof and another seating area in the garden. As it’s a farm they have their own cows which we saw as soon we entered and they seem very friendly. We especially loved their antique door just as soon as one enters the restaurant. And there’s also a blue decorative wheel behind the thatched roof seating area, which was also very unique. Another very interesting point about this restaurant is that they harvest their own vegetables and fruits and also the milk, cheese , jam, honey and other condiments are all made in their farm itself. Coming to the menu, for starters we all ordered chili cheese toast with different toppings on top with tomatoes toppings and my husband ordered a pesto pizza with green pesto sauce, tomatoes and their fresh cheese on the top. It was quite good. I went for a ginger lime honey soda for my beverage, it had a unique and interesting taste. My mother in law ordered a Sindhi koki which was liked hard roti cut into small designs. It came with curd, and baked potatoes. She liked it a lot. My brother in law ordered kadi chawal which my mother kn law and brother in law both shared. I also found the grey jar in which kadi was served very unique. It was accompanied by a kind of pakoda which is a good combination with the Sindhi kadhi. My brother in law also ordered akki roti which he also liked a lot. They both also ordered buttermilk which was very good and my husband ordered apple, beetroot and carrot juice which was also tasty. My nephew ordered watermelon juice and cheese and tomato pizza . He also enjoyed the pizza. The watermelon juice was also delicious. We all decided have coffee as it’s their specialty . I went for their French press coffee which came with the special French press kind of filter. And I also asked for milk on the side. Others decided on filter coffee which interestingly was served in brass tumblers. And yes we were all served cookies which were delicious . I liked the stylish cup in which French press coffee was served. And yes the coffees were all very flavorful. I loved the idea of jaggery powder and honey with coffee. We are usually not served these accompaniments in other coffee shops. We will surely visit some time again to try more of their variety in menu, their beverages and other offerings.

An amazing experience today in the farm. Starting from the reservation phone call, the service, the ambience, the food, they deserve an applause. Coming to the food, the pork ribs and the pizza # 27 which is pork pepperoni, pork sausage and chicken sausage are lip smacking. I savored every bite of it. The chicken caesar salad is on the lighter side which means you can really enjoying the natural flavour of all the ingredients. The iced cafe latte is really good. The coffee in it is on point. The kokum sherbet is refreshing. The strawberries with crème fraîche is best if you want a sugarfree dessert. We loveddd the farm shop also. Bought home some cheese varieties and dressings to try. Overall it was a really satisfying late lunch experience. Some people have pointed out the cost of the dishes, I'm telling you eating at a place where you can trace back all the ingredients to its source in such a calm and cozy environment at this cost is far better that eating at restaurants offering processed foods and ending up in hospital to spend the extra money at a later date.

I've always loved this place! Visited after 6 years, and amazingly, it hasn't changed a bit. I love their fresh-grown, farm-to-plate concept. Everything we ate was a hit except for the pizza, which was okayish. Highlights included the unique and delicious mushroom pâté and the fresh, fantastic garlic butter prawns. The drinks stole the show – chaas, kokum, fresh lime soda… absolute best! It's a self-service order system, and food comes right to your table. I'd recommend visiting on a weekday and calling ahead for a reservation. Heads up: they're not open at night, so check closing times and plan accordingly. Bonus: they sell fresh cheese, jams, and other produce to take home!

The Farm Rating: 3.5/5 🌟 The lush green gardens, a cattle farm, and a pet-friendly environment make this restaurant a unique spot in Chennai. However, what stood out negatively was the service. The staff member taking our order displayed unnecessary attitude, insisting, “This is my menu, I know what I’m talking about.” Such behavior felt bossy and unprofessional, diminishing the overall experience. Highlights Pork Pepperoni Pizza & Tandoori Chicken Pizza: Absolutely delicious and worth trying. Homestyle Buttermilk & Farm Special Lassi: Refreshing and authentic. Watermelon Juice: Simple yet enjoyable. Filter Coffee: Classic and satisfying, served with options like jaggery, sugar, or honey. Old-Fashioned Chocolate Cake: Rich, decadent, and a must-have! Misses Garlic Bread: Small portions and lacked flavor, with a deconstructed presentation. Hasselback Potatoes: Bland and unappetizing. Stuffed Chicken Paratha: Overloaded with turmeric and oddly paired with dal. Salted Caramel Latte: More like cold coffee with minimal caramel flavor. Cold Chocolate: Just average and not memorable. The Smoked Chicken Platter and Bacon were decent but nothing extraordinary. The Cold Brew Passion Fruit had potential but was diluted by ice. A stronger, chilled version would be better. Service is quick, with food arriving in about 20 minutes. However, the beverages need more attention to detail. The restaurant also features a store selling fresh produce and cheese, which is a nice addition. Final Thoughts A few standout dishes make it worth a visit, but the service and a few other dishes need significant improvement.

the first time I went to the farm it was really delightful, from making the reservation to having the food and everything. called to make the reservation today and got a really haughty person over the call, who even made me rethink my reservation.

Saturday afternoon we were hunting for lunch. We choose the farm coz of more hype. They told that main course is closed . Only left is pizza , starters, desserts for vegetarians.The order was sweet lassi , crumb fried mozzarella(starter), pizza ( aachari pizza n mozzarella caramelised pineapple pizza ). Sweet lassi was not sweet. Aachari pizza was soo blunt n not soo good (suggested as a signature dish) n pineapple pizza was good . Pizza base became too hard n not able to chewy . Many people were not able to finish their food n was carried away to home.The crumb fried mozzarella was too oily n cheese was too hard to chewy . Felt very bad with their food . Not worthy hype . This cost me around 3000 rupees. Waste of money . Never suggest this place for anyone . Tooooooo pricey .

The food was average, but the real mood killer was the attitude of the staff and owner. They were treating us as if we were an inconvenience to them and they were just tolerating their customers, their attitude when you ask about the menu, or any suggestion, for that matter was borderline intolerable. Horrible experience. Never going anywhere near the place.

Hands down worst restaurant experience. Terrible food. Everything we got was terrible. And very over priced. No farm, they just have cows. Please don’t waste your time and money.
