Twisty Tails
Twisty Tails is a pet-themed restaurant on the second floor of RVR Towers on Khader Nawaz Khan Road in Nungambakkam, Chennai. Opened in 2018 as a dog-themed restaurant, it added a separate cat room in 2021 and now keeps resident dogs and cats in their own pet rooms, set apart from the dining area. Visitors do not need to own a pet: they pay a per-person fee to spend time in the dog and cat rooms, where staff supervise the animals and let guests pet, play with and feed them. The fee can be adjusted against the restaurant bill. The menu is a multi-cuisine mix of pastas, pizzas, Indian dishes and desserts, and has included non-vegetarian food since 2026. The restaurant also has a party hall for birthdays and events and runs office visits with its resident pets.
