Bird on Tree

This restaurant offers a delightful ambiance with a choice between roof dining on the first floor and open dining on the ground floor, creating a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere. However, the seating arrangement feels a bit congested, which can impact the overall comfort. Food Review The food was generally good, with a mix of hits and misses. Here's a breakdown of what we tried Appetizers and Mains: Chicken and Crab Soup: Unfortunately, this dish fell short. The soup had a raw smell and lacked the authentic Chettinad flavor, leaving it quite plain and unappetizing. Devil's Chicken, Malai Broccoli, Tandoori Chicken, These were well-prepared and flavorful. Indian Breads (Butter Naan, Garlic Naan), Soft, fresh, and perfectly made. Fish Polichathu and Pepper Prawn: Both dishes were delicious, with the Pepper Prawn being the standout - a must-try! Prawn Chettinad and Kallan Milagu Varuval: These dishes had excellent flavor and were cooked well. Chicken Nuggets: Unfortunately, these were disappointing. The nuggets were overly large, which made them chewy and unappealing. Desserts: Kunafa: It was just okay. The texture was too hard and didn't provide the melt-in-your-mouth experience you'd expect. Nungu Payasam: A good choice - light and enjoyable. Shahi Tukda: Decent in flavor, but the bread wasn't properly soaked in malai, which affected the texture. Caramel Gustard: This dessert was enjoyable with a unique flavor profile. Mud Pie with Ice Cream: This was the biggest letdown - the flavors didn't work, and the dish was poorly executed. Other Recommendations: Indian breads and gravies were consistent highlights.Pasta dishes were also impressive and worth trying. Overall Experience While the food had its moments, there were a few disappointments with overcooked or poorly executed dishes, especially in the dessert section. The pricing feels a bit steep considering the quality. If you visit, I recommend sticking to the Pepper Prawn, Indian breads, gravies, and pasta. However, skip the Chicken Nuggets and Mud Pie with Ice Cream. Suggestions The restaurant could work on refining some of its dishes, particularly the desserts and soups, to elevate the dining experience. Improving the seating arrangement for more comfort would also be a big plus. Despite its shortcomings, the experience was enjoyable, thanks to the lovely ambiance and some standout dishes.

I used to actually like Bird on Tree. But the quality of the place (ambience-wise) has dipped significantly since the first couple of times I've been there (probably 2019) -- when I was actually impressed with the place (maybe you're easily impressed when you're younger?). I went back in Dec, 2023 -- and, boy, did I find the place a tad gross (although the food was fine). It clearly needs better maintenance and better upkeep. To iterate, the food was good (bordering on great), but the ambience disappointed. Not the "fine dining" I expected :(

Comprehensive menu.. Good service. Great view of the huge banyan tree at the opposite side property when we opt for the first floor sit out area.. As for the food, wonder whether the names actually match the dishes that arrive on plate. For example fish tempura came as a baked dish, more Italian than Japanese. And for roasted lamb rack.. wish there was more meat on the bone and the gravy had more zest to it. Chicken, prawn and prawn tikkas were succulent and we'll made.

Ist time. Chinese, continental n notty indian variety available. Mostly spicy. Taste was good. A little bit costly. Outside atmosphere was better than inside. Nonveg people are into a treat here. Service was good n friendly.

Good Service and Quantity Went on for an official party. The food is good and the quantity is also more matching to the price. Budget of each variety is exceeding Rs.200/-. Service is also good. For Couples/ Family outside seating is also available. On that day we had an offer of 50% for 4 Pax. More varieties of Non veg. We have to ask how the taste will be before ordering, since many names are not recognizable. Overall its good for Office parties or Families to spend more for a special occasion with fulfillment.

Visited first time. When we enter inside, the smell was too bad. And the ambience is not lit. The food was very good but the price was higher end. Tried caramel custard and nungu payasam.

Food is good and tasty, but the waiting time is long. No water was served, but they charged 50rs for 1 liter water. Quiet and nice ambience.

Loved it. Good atmosphere and great service. Lot of varieties to choose. should go in group to taste more items. All dishes cost around 450 and worth it. Must visit.
