Harshini of The Times of India gave 3/5 stars and wrote, "Yet the delicious part of the series – everything involving Yogi Babu – is sufficient to entertain". [16] Avinash Ramachandran of The Indian Express gave 3/5 stars and wrote, "At one point in Chutney Sambar, a character starts narrating a flashback, and Yogi Babu cuts him short by saying something like, “Seekram sollu, Season 2 eduthuda poraanga (Tell it fast, otherwise, they would make a season 2).” Honestly, I wouldn’t actually mind it". [17] Narayani M of Cinema Express gave 3/5 stars and wrote, "As Sachu puts it in his own words, "nalla irundha sambhar la naamale en uppu alli podanum?"

Anusha Sundar of OTTplay gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote, "Chutney Sambar is a passable series that, thankfully, does not become a snoozefest thanks to its outdated arcs. Radha Mohan makes an earnest attempt to serve up a platter of delicious characters who come together for a hearty meal. There is a good reason why each character exists and they get their due by the end of the series. Yes, not everything works for the series, but despite its flaws, Chutney Sambar is a one-time watch that you can put on while doing your chores".

Gopinath Rajendran of The Hindu wrote, "Probably naming series after eatables is the trick! In the series, Rathnasamy’s restaurant is famous for its sambar while Sachu’s eatery is renowned for its chutney, but it’s actually Radha Mohan and Yogi Babu whose collaboration — like chutney and sambar — make Chutney Sambar a delectable watch". [21] G. Gowtham of India Herald wrote, "A group of delectable personalities gather for a substantial lunch, and Radha Mohan does his hardest to present them on a plate". [22]
