If you’re hunting for authentic South Indian flavors in Overland Park, Chettinads Indian Restaurant on 151st Street is a certified hidden gem that prioritizes taste over frills.

The dishes are packed with bold, traditional spices and remarkable depth, proving that you don’t need a fancy setting to deliver a five-star culinary experience.

Chennai Nikkah Biryani is a gem! We got takeout and loved every bit of it. The chicken biryani was rich and flavorful, chicken noodles hit the spot, and the chicken tikka was juicy and perfectly spiced. But the mutton ghee roast stole the show spicy, buttery, and unforgettable. 100% worth it if you love real South Indian food. I definitely recommend this place

Very basic cafe. If your looking for ambience this is not for you. Chicken biryani was spicy barely could taste the flavor. Uttaam was delicious n crisp n flavorful. Dosa was great but samnar was extremely spicy n other dips were average. Bondi laddo was decent just some of them had way too much cardamom flavor!

Absolutely loved this place! I’ve been here a few times, and every visit just gets better. Their thali is packed with authentic South Indian flavors — every dish tastes like it’s made with love. Today we went for their biryani sale (any biryani for just $10!) and wow, it was outstanding — super flavorful, perfectly spiced, and served fresh and hot.
We were a group of six, and everyone couldn’t stop talking about how good the food was. The highlight, though, was the amazing hospitality! It was the restaurant’s anniversary, and the owner and his wife went above and beyond — they treated us like family, gave us free dessert, and even offered complimentary drinks because we had a big order. Such genuine and kind people!
If you’re looking for real Chettinad flavors, generous portions, and a place that truly cares about its customers — this is the spot! I’d give more than 5 stars if I could.

I just enjoyed the Thanksgiving Dinner Buffet at Chettinad’s, and it was absolutely fantastic. The variety and quality of dishes were outstanding — from flavorful biryanis and rich curries to crispy appetizers like butterfly shrimp, chicken tenders, and paneer nuggets. Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of authentic South Indian flavors.
The buffet lineup was huge, exactly as advertised, including classics like Butter Chicken, Chettinad Chicken Curry, Veg Biryani, Kadai Paneer, Dal Bukhara, fresh naan, parathas, and even desserts like Gulab Jamun and ice cream. Every single item tasted delicious.
The atmosphere was warm and festive, and the staff were friendly and attentive throughout the evening. For the price, the variety and quality were unbeatable — a perfect way to celebrate Thanksgiving with amazing food.
A truly 5-star experience. Highly recommended!

Yes!!!! Butter chicken, chicken Tikka, garlic Naan and a GIANT 3 foot dosa was met with rave reviews by my [picky, some may say snooty] teenagers. Chettinads has become our go-to spot for Indian food for the whole family

Have been a regular since they opened in Overland Park. Best Tamil cuisine in could find in this area if not Kansas City. Their weekend breakfast and lunch buffet is a great offering.

An explosion of Tamil flavors – Bringing South India to the Midwest!
Chettinad’s, the new restaurant in town, keeps getting better each week. The Thali meals (included a variety of dishes each offering a different flavor profile) are excellent, served on a plantain leaf that brings back fond memories and adds a unique flavor to the experience. The portions are generous, and the quality and taste are outstanding. The staff is courteous and friendly, making the dining experience even more enjoyable.
The Thali meals (both veg and non-veg), Kothu Parotta and Kalaki are must-tries among their offerings. We loved ending each meal with a hot filter coffee—such a perfect finish! ❤️ We can’t wait to go back again.
