Broken Bridge Cafe Indian Restaurant
Tucked away in the lively maze of Chennai’s dining circuit, Broken Bridge Café Indian Restaurant reimagines the city’s legendary hospitality for a new generation of gastronomes. Within a loft-style space of raw brick, copper pipes and river-facing terraces, chefs resurrect ancestral Tamil recipes through wood-smoked grills, stone-ground masalas and slow-kneaded appams, pairing them with single-estate Nilgiri pour-overs and turmeric-spiked cocktails. The result is a confident, contemporary love letter to India’s culinary mosaic without ever leaving the capital of South Indian flavour.

4.6/5 (Read the Reviews)
Perched above the Adyar river mouth at Somerset Greenways, Broken Bridge Cafe folds global comfort food into a laid-back Chennai setting: think truffle-oil pizzas, Andhra-spiced burgers and single-estate coffees served under slow ceiling fans and river breeze. The 4.6-rated rooftop keeps evenings breezy with live acoustic sets, craft cocktails and a direct view of the eponymous broken bridge, while daytime crowds linger over laptops, kombucha and all-day breakfast. Service is brisk, plates arrive camera-ready, and the kitchen stays open late—making it a dependable pit-stop between Mylapore cafés and the Marina drive.
