The Lab
★ 4.8 · 118 reviews Chennai Opened 2026
Burgers, coffee and dessert until 2am on TTK Road
Nothing else on TTK Road is still serving at 2am, but The Lab is. It's a resto-cafe mashing up experimental global food, burgers and proper coffee in one room, which sounds odd until you're there at midnight ordering dessert.
Dinner for two runs Rs 700 to Rs 1,000. Book ahead on weekends and aim for the late slot, that's when the place actually makes sense.

Finally, an aesthetic cafe in Chennai that actually serves really good burger menu & dessert- opened till 1am The Lab has the perfect cozy vibe with two floors of seating. Unlike other pretty cafes, the food here is so good! The Godfather Burger399₹: Absolute beast. Double patty with an oozing chilli cheese center🍔🔥 Cheesecake Shake279₹ :Try this and thank me later! Literally a whole Basque cheesecake blended into a shake. Triple Chocolate Mousse🥹: Velvet layers with a warm white chocolate pour-over- soo smooth & soft literally melt in mouth! Def checking this place out again. Great spot to hang out on TTK Road!

📍THE LAB – Royapettah Went in with normal expectations and left fully obsessed. The Peri Peri Crunch Burger??? 10/10. Perfect crunch, perfect sauce ratio, not greasy, not messy — just everything done right. And the chocolate cake… I’m not exaggerating when I say every bite felt illegal. This place deserves way more attention. If you’re in Chennai, add this to your list ASAP ✨

The place is really good, loved the ambience. Their burgers were 🔥 it was light, not heavy. The one that surprised me was the malai mushroom pasta I mean it tasted amazing. Their basque cheesecake with almond praline and white chocolate sauce was great too. Definitely a good place to hangout out with friends, family to have smashing burgers and mains !!!

The food here never disappoints & keeps me coming back every time! ❤️ Some of my absolute favorites are the molten chocolate cake, malai mushroom pasta, katsu curry, peri peri crunch burger, purple passion drink, ice milo, cheesecake milkshake, three layer cake & London cake. Every dish is so flavourful and consistently delicious. If you're looking for a place with amazing food and desserts, this is definitely worth a visit. So so yummy! 🤤❤️
