Spencer Plaza was the only mall in Chennai for over a decade but it is old and tired now. Dingy, lots of shops (and you can get some great bargains there, not to mention get cheated blind), etc. You dont want to eat at any of the restaurants there - unless you mind a dose of food poisoning. There are... more

I send this review in merely as an observation. I ate a Biryani in a little corner restaurant with about 3 tables in the Spencer plaza a couple of months ago. As is the custom in such places in India I was joined by a couple of strangers and we all ate our biryanis in silence. The food was OK... more

Spencer Plaza was part of our last day plans of places to go in Chennai. There are dozens of small shops that we could have visited. We knew that there was always something tucked in a shelf or folded in clear plastic. We soon discovered that we had to pick our way through Kashmir scarves, embroidered pillow cases with huge... more

I found this a disappointing experience as most of the small traders hassle you to look in their shops and buy. Walking around became a pain as we found our way blocked by over eager shop keepers who don't realise that this approach deters rather than encourages buyers. We didn't buy anything although we may have been tempted if left... more

Spencer Plaza was a huge complex of many, many shops. While there is a central atrium for all floors (see picture), it has many hallways full of shops that finger out along the edges and make it easy to get lost. Not to mention the directory is largely unhelpful. However, you will find a great variety of shops - clothes,... more

Spencer Plaza is an interesting place to visit and is unlike any mall I've ever been to in the States. There are three phases or sections and three floors in the shopping mall. Take note of where you came in at, or you will never find your way back. It is laid out with a main hallway, but there are... more
