What people say, in short
Flower Drum, a Chinese restaurant pinned here at its Adyar outlet, is a repeat commenter suggestion, with praise pooled across its Chennai locations. One diner calls the Egmore Flower Drum the best Chinese they have had anywhere, another points to Adyar, one includes it in a list of places with nice ambience, service and food options, and others name it among places to try. One commenter wonders whether an older location now trades under a different name. The dissent is blunt: one commenter calls it the worst place ever and says the building looks run-down.
