What was once an actual shopping complex in Chennai, has now moved online in the form of an Indian Craigslist. The Facebook group is 83,000 strong and connects buyers with sellers across Chennai. Goods sold can vary from furniture, books and even baby products. It’s a great place to pick up second hand goods and even new goods being sold at highly discounted rates as the group is often used by sellers to get rid of items quickly. Having said that, there are rules in place about how trades are to take place, so it is important to read the group description before you jump in.

The predecessor to Where Chennai Eats, Chennai Food Guide is a little more of a real life group than a Facebook group. They regularly host cookouts and meetups with members, in addition to functioning as an active food finding platform on Facebook. Unlike Where Chennai Eats, Chennai Food Guide allows members to promote their own food brands, for example there was recently a post about a small homemade restaurant that serves up tasty dishes like Haleem and Mutton Biryani. Making this a great way to find quality eateries that wouldn’t normally get listed on food delivery websites like Swiggy or Zomato. Having said that, like Where Chennai Eats, if you’re looking for a specific dish or catering needs for an occasion, ask away and you shall be helped.

The most popular group on this list is the Flats And Flatmates Chennai Chapter group. Just moved and looking for a place to stay? Join this group! They’re a “no broker allowed” group that connects people looking for places to stay with available spaces in Chennai. All you have to do is just get on the group and post a message asking for a place with your requirements and sellers will contact you. If you want to see what else is available you’ll find posts from sellers about spaces which provide basic information about the accommodation as well as rent expected and photos of the house. We’ve used them in the past and have had no issues whatsoever finding good places and great roommates.
