Manna Mess started as a Mess in Acharapakkam, Tamil Nadu. It was founded by Mr. Jayaraj, a Tamil professor who chose to follow his passion for food and hospitality. Now with five locations across the state and fast growing further, the restaurant stays true to its roots by serving traditional Tamil meals on banana leaves. It is a place built on simple service and honest, home-style flavors.

The Meaning of Asaivathil  Arokiyam

The restaurant is guided by a clear idea: Asaivathil Arokiyam, which means "Health in Non-Veg." While many modern meals use heavy additives, Manna Mess uses local ingredients and no food colors or artificial masalas. Every dish is prepared to be both healthy and flavorful. We provide a clean, hygienic space with a nice ambience and humble staff where guests can enjoy real food that reflects our culture.
