I discovered this place on Instagram when I was still in Paris, and since the restaurant is practically next door, I went around 2 pm. It was completely packed; I had to wait about 20-25 minutes for a table, but given how busy it was, that's understandable. Once I was seated, a big plus was the little pots of thokku on the tables—they were truly excellent. There was mutton, shrimp, kadai, and naatu kozhi, all delicious with the meal. I ordered a non-vegetarian meal with kola urundai, a fish 65, and prawns. The meal was very good overall, but I never received the prawns… I had almost finished eating and even gone to wash my hands when they finally arrived. So I said it wasn't worth it. The server should have warned me from the start that it would take a while, or simply not offered it, especially since when I paid, they explained they were out and had to make more, hence the wait. As for the sauces/curries, they mostly had mutton sauce; it's a shame they didn't have chicken sauce too. Despite that, it's a good place, very busy, and the food is good. They just need better organization in terms of service. I'll definitely come back on my next trip to France

We found Manam mess on insta and the place is nothing less the hype. Revathi akka was the best server ever, she was super kind and she helped us with taking care of the baby. Will definitely recommend and visit again when in pondi. Please come early as the starters will get over fast

We were served with delicious non veg meal and the hospitality by Revathi akka was good.. Thank you
