Bold Spices, Rich Flavors – Experience Chettinad!

Welcome to Clayton Chettinad, where we are passionate about bringing the vibrant and unforgettable flavours of South India to your table. We are incredibly proud to have grown from our original location in Clayton to our new branch in Hampton Park, allowing us to share our love of South Indian food with even more of you. Whether you're a seasoned foodie or just looking for a delicious and memorable meal, we invite you to join us on a culinary adventure.

Our journey began with a heartfelt purpose of sharing the authentic taste of Chettinad cuisine with our community here in Australia. Admiring the rich culinary heritage of South India, we started out to create a dining experience that reflects the warmth and depth of authentic Chettinad cooking. Each recipe brought to your table is prepared using age-old techniques using the freshly-sourced produce.

Behind every flavourful dish at Clayton Chettinad, you'll find the heart and soul of our talented chefs. They are culinary storytellers, each bringing a wealth of experience and a deep passion for South Indian cuisine to our kitchens. Our chefs have honed their skills through years of dedication, learning time-honoured techniques and mastering the art of blending aromatic spices.

With a love to explore the exciting possibilities that arise when different culinary domains fuse, we have brought the innovative creations on our menu. Our fusion cuisine takes you on a journey through the distinct flavours of Tamil, Malaysian, Sri Lankan, and Singaporean influences.

At Clayton Chettinad, we believe that a great dining experience goes beyond just food—it’s about creating an atmosphere where you feel truly at home. From the moment you step in, you are welcomed into a warm, inviting space that is both stylish and comfortable.
