Chennai's Marina

What people say, in short
Many commenters recommend Chennai's Marina for South Indian food, and a few call it fantastic, very good, or the best South Indian place in town; one notes a good range of dosa varieties. One diner had poor service and small portions on a dine-in visit, though takeaway orders have consistently pleased them. Two others have mixed views: one finds it inconsistent from visit to visit, and the other says it suits South Indian food but does not personally enjoy it.
