Double Roti — Chennai's Favourite Smash Burger Bar

The city's most-reviewed burger restaurant and the undisputed benchmark for smash burgers in Chennai. Double Roti operates across two locations — Anna Nagar (rooftop terrace) and Teynampet — making it the go-to quality burger bar in the city. The Double Smashed Bacon Blue Cheese is described by regulars as "the best beef burger in Chennai"; the Double Smashed Chipotle Chicken Burger is the crowd favourite. Fresh pizzas, Chicken Birria Tacos, Skillet Loaded Nachos, and Chicken Birria Wonton complete a menu that goes well beyond the bun.

"The burger is the undisputed star here (special mention — Area 69 Burger). We're talking a towering, multi-layered masterpiece with a perfectly fried egg, melted cheese, and crisp bacon. It's messy in the best way possible."
