    Mysore Masala Dosa
    Kamal B.

    Wow wow WOW!!!!! If you are looking for authentic South Indian food THIS IS IT!!! I was AMAZED by their chicken 65, super tasty and the fresh onions were spot on! But not to forget the most delicious, the Mysore Dosa!! WOW!!!! A MUST get!!! First, the sambar was absolutely amazing and secondly, the potato filing in the dosa was INCREDIBLE. This place needs more attraction and you gotta go!!

    Casual cafe on the left and tiny convenience store on the right for the locals living close by.

    This little place is well deserving of its 5 star rating from everyone!! The food is phenomenal!! They say that the best food often come from hole-In-the-walls. Chennai Tiffins definitely lives up to this reputation! Eating with a group of people is more pleasurable when you get a variety of dishes to share. We ordered (feeds up to 4 people): 1. Chettinad Chicken Biryani that my hubby loved. We added the yogurt chutney, which made it taste even better. 2. Chicken Ghee Roast--stellar, mouthwatering dish; boneless chicken served with plain basmati rice. This is a MUST TRY. It's probably the best dish on the menu. 3. Onion Pakoras-- crispy deep fried onions, great for dipping in a variety of chutney. 4. Ask for Yogurt sauce to add to the chicken biryani dishes or as a dip for the pakoras. 5. Saag paneer--creamy spinach with cheese perfectly pairs with a side of 6. Naan or paratha, ordered separately. 7. Mango lassi--flavored with a touch of cardamom and comes in a small cup, but it's super concentrated. I transferred it into a large tumbler and added milk and 2 packs of sweetener. Price is a steal at only $2. Pricing in general is incredibly affordable especially for these complex yet harmonious dishes! (I'm lazy and usually cook simple dishes with only about 6-8 ingredients). Luckily for us living in Limerock, Lincoln, RI it's only a mere 6 minutes drive to Manville! Can't wait to go back often, ha ha. Very popular restaurant. Most people order for takeout, but the dining area is now open. Tons of parking spaces in the front and back. If you love Indian food, I guarantee that Chennai Tiffins will become one of your favorite restaurants!!

    Continuing my wife's quest and cravings for South Indian cuisine, we tried Chennai Tiffins. It's in a quiet little residential area and its business is clearly mainly take-out, but they do have a large enough dine-in area to seat several parties comfortably. But be aware, it's in an old building and there are definitely no frills about it. I wanted to start off with their gobi manchurian but they were out of cauliflower (which surprised me a little). My wife had their masala dosa and although the filling was good, she found the crepe to be a bit thick and not quite crispy enough. The accompanying sambar and coconut chutney were excellent, however. I wanted to try their lamb or fish curries, but disappointingly again, neither were available. Feeling a little pressured to choose something (anything, and quickly, cuz their phone's ringing with take-out orders, yikes, hurry up!) by the hovering waiter, I settled on butter chicken and the Indo-Chinese vegetable fried rice. They were fine in flavor but nothing compelling enough for me to make a return visit. Their mango lassi was good and my wife's chai was outstanding (although it took a long time to prepare and was delivered by the time we were finishing our meal). Chennai Tiffins menu is not very extensive - the main focus is clearly on their dosa which was pretty good per my wife. I think I would've rated the place higher had they been able to offer all the items on their menu.

    Chicken Tikka Masala And chicken sixty five

    Wow, what a hidden find! Thank you Yelp for helping me find this great spot. I've been looking for Indian food that is delicious but also affordable--this place is definitely it. I ordered chicken tikka masala and the sixty-five chicken and both were amazing. This is now my new go-to for Indian food! Heads up: They currently only do take-out orders for now.

    Stopped by on our way to Cape Cod. One of the heartiest South Indian meals I have ever had! We got onion pakora, vada, dosa and kothu paratha. Everything was fresh and delicious and very homely. Definitely coming back.

    One of my favorite dishes is Indian and during my travels, I always try to visit Indian restaurants due to the satisfaction it brings you after a meal. And like finding a good plumber, it is tough however a gem when you find one. Finding Chennai Tiffins is located in 359 Old River Rd. Manville, RI with a phone number 4013564471 is a blessing from my brother. A convenience store with a kitchen that serves the BEST AND SATISFYING Indian dishes you could ever have. To top off the excellent Goat Biryani, Chicken Saag, chicken masala, roasted chicken and mango lassi, the price doesn't break your bank, you don't leave with a $$$ bill. Truly a gem that I am willing to drive 45 minutes for.

To get a baseline of whether the place is good, I usually order Chicken Tikka Masala - if you mess that up, I can't trust anything else. You can get white basmati rice on the side for only $1.99 more, but I wanted garlic naan which was $4.99. We ordered on the phone and were told 20 minutes. They do have a dining room inside, but the tables are a bit awkward since the bench is too far from the table (it discouraged us from eating there). We arrived 20 minutes later, and the food was ready just in time. It stayed warm on the ride home and was the perfect eating temperature after 15 minutes when we actually got around to eating it. I noticed that the curry was a bit greasy, but it's easy to move it out of the way. The container looked small (small round black to go container), but it did bring a lot. My friend and I agreed that the onions could have been chopped a little smaller, or cooked for a little longer to make them soft rather than crunchy. The flavors were perfect. We picked mild for our spice level, but regret not going up to medium because it was not spicy at all. The naan could have used a little more garlic but it was still very good as it was soft and buttery. I will definitely be coming back to try other items. They have plenty of parking, and their staff is kind.

It was fantastic and delicious. Awesome goat curry, beautiful fluffy rice, naan. Service was excellent, place was meticulously clean, prices very reasonable. I would have given 5 stars were it not for the finish which was an Indian staple dessert (rice pudding) called Kheer. Yuck-very poorly made, lousy ingredients. (A good Kheer is luscious and creamy white---this was grey and tasted totally artificial) I would go back in an instant!

For our meals we had the saag paneer, chicken korma, and their garlic naan. I like that our curries came with rice and thought they were reasonably priced between $16-17. The flavors were great and there was definitely enough food for the two of us. My only real gripe is that they had an issue with their billing paper and I had to physically write in a tip, total, and signing line. Kind of weird. But overall I think this is a great addition to Milford and a must try!

Maybe there's another lot I didn't see in the back? But the restaurant itself is beautiful. Lots of wooden features that don't necessarily give off "Indian restaurant" but was still nice to look at all the same. There's a decent amount of seating and a large bar where they also keep games. I really liked the music they were playing as well. I constantly found myself dancing along to it. For food I had the chili baby corn for an appetizer, chicken saag, and cheese naan. Also had a Limca to drink which are always wonderful. The baby corn was amazing! The portion was generous and I loved the chili sauce. It was appropriately dressed and fried to perfection. Chicken saag was also excellent. I prefer mine a little creamier but I loved the fresh taste and generous pieces of chicken. The saag itself was properly spiced and came with a generous portion of basmati rice. Finally, the cheese naan was appropriately priced and crispy with a generous portion of cheese. Was it some of the best Indian food I've ever had? Absolutely! It was right up there and I hope to stop by their lunch buffer sometime soon. I will say that the service was a little slow and the waiters didn't check in as much as I'm used to. But that didn't hinder the exceptional quality of the restaurant.
