Chennai Delicacy - Cleveland

Delicious South Indian food. Must visit restaurant in Cleveland for South Indians.

Not a traditional restaurant, basically a storefront, so with that being said, the takeout is delicious and I highly recommend. Store hours are limited because the owner does a lot of catering during the week at local businesses. I can’t speak for the authenticity but I discovered them 4 or 5 years ago (at a catered event) and have been buying their takeout from the store since. This is my favorite Indian spot in the Cleveland area. Prices are higher but you get several servings from one container and the taste is amazing and worth it! The chicken chettinad and pepper chicken are my favorite, delish and spicy! Can’t go wrong with the biryani either.

The food is pre-made and cold. The prices online are not accurate and they charge a fee to use plastic. But the worst part was the quantity of bone in the food. It tastes fine as long as you don't break your teeth. I would not recommend this place to anyone ever.

Chennai Delicacy is an unassuming small, but great take out Indian restaurant. They also prepare dishes for banquets and parties and cater at some local companies. They have a steady clientele of Indian customers so food must be very authentic. Vish, the owner is very personable and he uses the best and freshest ingredients. Their samosas are not to be missed, though u need to make or buy the tamarind sauce for it. My personal favorite entree is the butter chicken tender and delicious and my husband loves their chicken biryani quite spicy, moist and flavorful. Any other Indian restaurant we go to he tries the chicken biryani to see if it’s as good as Chennai, but they are still by far the best in town!

The food is not fresh. They cook it before and just reheat it. Better to go to a real restaurant where they cook the food fresh to order...
