Red E Drop Zone, Teynampet

The Red E Drop Zone, Teynampet
So, we dropped into the Red E Drop Zone for dinner, and we were pleasantly surprised by this joint that the city of Madras seems to have forgotten. On a Tuesday evening, the entire place was empty for the duration of the 2+ hours that we spent there for dinner.


Ambience, at the Red E Drop Zone, Teynampet
The service was okay; nothing impressive. Cold water is something that they don't serve (unless of course, you buy a bottle of bottled water) - which could be an issue for some people. Extra Pudina chutney, though, was given freely - without protest or comment - when asked for.


Table Cards that bring down the ambience levels at the Red E Drop Zone, Teynampet
The ambience was nice; we wouldn't have put such a low-key joint to have the levels of ambience it did have, However, the paper table mats, and the place cards on the table brought down the level of ambience quite a bit. Changing these could improve the ambience of the restaurant by quite a bit.

The quantity was more-than-sufficient; we ended up taking home enough to feed another 3-5 people. If you're going as a group, you definitely would want to tone down the quantity of your order.
