Flower Drum restaurant is located right across the Egmore Hospital on Pantheon Road in Egmore and is vegetarian only restaurant that offers Chinese cuisine. (The other landmark is that this is pretty close to the Egmore Museum). Ambience is pretty decent, but the restaurant gets crowded pretty fast, so reservation is strongly recommended.
Parking can be a problem given the prime location. There is an excellent range of starters. But please remember that you need to make a choice based on your preference/understanding of the menu. The waiters are hopeless speak limited English; so you cannot expect them to recommend any item on the menu.
The portions are pretty generous and the main course once ordered can be shared between two adults.
The dessert spread is also pretty decent. The restaurant offers Chinese and Thai cuisines and there is a wide variety of dishes to choose from. The ambience is pretty decent and the place gets crowded after 8:00 pm. The place can also accommodate small family gatherings for lunch/dinner. Reservations are recommended.
The dishes are not too pricey, given the current price levels in restaurants. And for people who are looking at a pure vegetarian only restaurants that offer Chinese/Thai food, this is a good option. If only the restaurant can train its waiters in English, it would certainly be a better experience
