What people say, in short
People recommend Sangam Chettinad, and many commenters name it among the best Indian restaurants in the city. At the McNeil and Parmer location, one diner who visited repeatedly says they never had a bad experience. One diner praises the goat curry and garlic naan, another the pepper chicken, and the chili paneer is also named a favorite. One diner who ordered carry-out says the food transports well. Crowds are a drawback for some: one diner orders delivery because of nightly lines and another says getting a table can be hard, though one finds the wait stays short. Not everyone agrees: one finds the rice plain, one says its meat dishes are weaker than another place's, one says the spice level varies, and one prefers another place overall.
