Updating on 10/18/2023Commenting to Owner's responseYou can see how busy the place is in the pic. There are empty tables available and we were only 4 people in total.. my wife and me already there on 10/7/2023 at around 1.15-1.20pm. Other 2 were 15-20mins away. We requested the front desk if you could accommodate 2 of us as we were very hungry and other 2 will eventually come in 15mins which they did come early than 15mins. We can understand if there were no tables available but it was not the case on that day. And your policy of accommodating guests at table only when all guests are there makes sense to apply if the party is big. If you could not even accommodate 2-4 people when there are empty tables available then I dont know how great of a hospitality is this!!!Take an example: Just think of any other restaurant applies the same rule to your relatives/sis/bro/parents who arrive at the restaurant very hungry and there are empty tables available but are made to wait till you arrived, may be in about 20-30mins and there are still empty tables available.. How would you feel? And what would you do in this situation? Will you be SATISFIED at the end of the lunch/dinner?My answer: I WOULD NOTP.S. - A customer centric restaurant business would find a solution for case by case scenarios, rather than dictating rules as an excuse.##########################Updated on 10/7/2023I am changing my review from 5 stars to 1. They make people wait even though there are tables available. Say that everyone should be there to get table. What kind of mindset is this. This place is becoming worst treating customers day by day. WORST EXPERIENCE!!!#########Old review##############One of the best south indian buffet places in town!!! There are other over hyped restaurants in Frisco/Plano are but Chennai cafe will never disappoint you. We went to this place over weekend and during a weekday. Both days food tasted very good.

Went to the weekend buffet, and there was a variety of dishes both in veg and non-veg. And two live counter stations for dosa and appam were also present. The staff were really quick in their service. The price I felt was a little too high for an individual.

I'm a big fan of their bisibelabath and veg thali. Great service and consistent food quality. Don't miss the rasam if you're eating their thali, it tastes so good!Veg kothu parota and samosa are good too.

After being disappointed at other Indian restaurants, I went to Chennai café to meet with my friend over dinner . I had to pick between buffet and à la carte. Given my past experience I am always wary of Indian buffets. I was pleasantly surprised - every single item on the buffet had authentic Tamil flavor and was to the point. After food mouth freshener (Saunf) was dispensed in a hygienic manner

Was here twice for a buffet (typical Indian stule buffet - mediocre dishes with probably poor quality ingredients) and few weeks ago picked up 2 orders of thalapakkatti biryani - was ok but very little meat and mostly bone pieces

This place has great buffet spread but their food taste and freshness are a hit or a miss. The staff has ambiguity in communication. Also they've crunched lunchtime, most of the time they ask to leave without recognizing that customers are still eating.

I love this place ! Prem the manager and the front desk girl Parnalavi are so sweet and welcoming ! They are always smiling and have great customer service skills. I love how the food is always fresh and the place is always clean ! The service is top of notch and friendly people. The dosas are so good ! I come just for the masala dosas and they do not disappoint at all. This place is a must !

Was looking around for a budget friendly cake with minimal decor.I chose Chennai Cafe to give it a try and I must say I wasn't quite sure how it would turn out. The output was just amazing and theydid a great job . I loved the cake inside out. We ordered 6Lb butterscotch cake for a gender reveal event.
