Asian Sizzlers To Comfy Continental Food, Eat Right With This List Of The Best Restaurants In Besant Nagar
The Cascade
One of the oldest Chinese restaurants in the city, The Cascade continues to charm us with its good old, Indian Chinese dishes. The Besant Nagar one even comes with garden seating but the same flavours we've loved over the years. Their Beef Oriental Pepper Sauce and the Crispy Lamb Honey Chilli are our fave. In veg, we would recommend the Baby Corn and Mushroom Pepper Celery, Crackling Spinach and the Five Spiced Vegetables. Don't forget to wash it all down with their Fried Ice Cream.

Located right above the CCD lounge in Besant Nagar, The Kandyan is one of the few places in the city that specialise in Sri Lankan cuisine. While the decor is basic, this place wins in terms of flavour and prices (meal for two costs about INR 300). Must-try dishes include maasi sambal, deviled chicken and red appams with chicken curry.
