Six stars! Varied menu in a relaxing setting - Edit
Such a varied menu with so many options for different breads, rice, curries, cakes and ice creams. I had a curry and garlic rice and chilli & cheese roti. Then banana and almond cake. I took a non-vegan i met in Chennai a Biryani and mushroom soup and he didn’t believe it wasn’t vegan.

Pros: Many types of rice and biryani, Reasonable price, Many deserts and ice creams

Visited Viridian Plate with friends for dinner last week (Weekday)
Read moreThe Dishes were excellent as was the Service.
Unfortunately we were quite hungry and did not take photos of the dishes or the Menu !
But, if you are a Vegan, this place should definitely be on your list - in Chennai

Very good indeed - Edit
A small place (seats about 16-20 at a time I guess) with an outstanding vegan menu. I am not vegan but the two times I went to The Viridian Plate, I did wish I could turn one.
Read moreThe texture, flavours and the presentation of the various items are all excellent. The owners are hands-on and along with their staff, serve customers themselves. Of the really memorable items i have had, I must mention the peanut-curd rice and the cashew milk coffee. You simply cannot make out that they are not dairy-based!
They had a mock-meat festival recently, but not having participated, I cannot comment on it. They also have a little store that sells vegan food products and other hand-made items of household use.
Definitely worth repeat visits.
Pros: Quiet, cozy ambience., Variety--uniformly tasty--excellent presentation, The owners spend time with customers
Cons: Delay in time to serve-- order all items at once

A bit overrated but guess it is good to support a vegan establishment - Edit
Indian dishes were generally ok - the jackfruit biriyani was the highlight. Alfredo sauce was gluey and disgusting.
Read morePros: food (indian not western dishes), air con, menu options

Amazing! - Edit
While visiting Chennai we went to this vegan restaurant 2 consecutive days. We were very impressed with the extensive selection of dishes from different genres. My daughter wanted to eat pasta and my son wanted Chinese noodles. I had stuffed parota with Tofu butter masala (it had been so long tasting it after becoming vegan).
Read moreWe also had the jackfruit biriyani with peanut yogurt Raita which was great!
It was all topped off with different kinds of vegan ice creams - my favorite was the paan flavor!
The menu has so much variety we went there twice!
Pros: Extensive vegan menu to suit every taste, Very nice owner who was very accommodating
Cons: Smallish dine in seating area

Excellent - Edit
Tried a few things from this restaurant at their stall at the Alwarpet vegan festival. We had the jackfruit biryani with raita, curd rice and chai. All very flavorful and (in my opinion) the peanut curd used is better than dairy based curd. Even my dad, who eats curd rice everyday for at least two meals and was a bit skeptical, loved the vegan curd rice. Definitely recommend.
