Chennai is the capital of Tamil Nadu India.  A state in the southern part of the country and the menu is designed accordingly.  Do not expect to find Butter Chicken or Palek Paneer,  Do expect to find authentic food prepared with care.  The owner is passionate about his food and it shows.  We stopped in on Sunday for some carry out.  I'd like to tell you what I got but I could not pronounce most of it.  Regardless.  It was all good.   

Most important is that they do Chicken 65 right.  No sweet sauce for this.  Just dry, crispy juicy chicken with just the right amount of kick.  There isn't a menu posted yet but who cares.  Check it out.  Its a great addition to the Chantilly food scene.  

I'm intrigued by Chicken 65, which I've never tried before. Northern Virginia Table Tennis Center is less than two miles from here, so I'll be trying this dish soon.

Does anyone know of other Southern Indian restaurants that have Chicken 65? I don't recall ever seeing it on a menu.

Bwarchi or one of its previous incarnations does.  The current management has done it both ways.  Dry and wet. Wet is more like an indian General Tsos chicken.  Come to think of it, when I ordered it off the menu it was wet.  Biryani Corner in Herndon does it as well but it is wet as well.  

Done right (dry not wet) the stuff I had was comparable to the fried chicken at Hong Kong Palace.

Judging from the menus of the S. Indian restaurants near or in Rockville(Chettinadu, Minerva, and Godavari), Chicken 65 is a standard item.  There is also something called "Chicken 555".  I think it's similar so is probably pretty good.  I would avoid anything called "Chicken 666".  :D
