Ordered Rice with chicken curry meal for delivery :
It had Rice, Tomato Dal, potato fry (French fry style) was very crispy , Chicken curry , Curd ..
The quantity of rice was so much and can be eaten by two ppl .. However the quantity of side dishes are sufficient for a single person .. However the food packaging can be improved..
Overall the food was really tasty .. And was delivered hot hot and on time :)

My friend took me here for lunch and I'm glad he did. This is my first time having Andhra meals so can't set a benchmark. But I really liked the meals here, especially the podi and oil combination for rice. This is the cheapest unlimited meals to go for. Briyani also tastes good but I would recommend to go for meals.

The fry they offer is too good. Better go to the place and eat as they would provide you infinite food and infinite fry mainly. Curries are ok. Rasam tasted good and sambar was ok enough. The curd tasted yummy and seemed to be of good quality

Good place to have Andhra meals on OMR. Compared to other Andhra mess in the area this one is more decent and has an AC room too. The service is quick and we need not wait for refills as they are kept in abundance on the table. My personal favorite is the Moru Kozhambu and the veg fries.

When it comes to having wholesome meal,I have a great liking for Andhra flavour,(Gongura,Karam😋😋😋)..Went for a quick inexpensive lunch ,located opposite to my coaching center..The manager is quite good and understanding and was willing to help me with card payment .The taste of food was also upto my expectations.
The only downside is the service,there is a huge crowd and the servicemen are quite slow and lost plus language barriers..Apart from that its good.

Been here n number of times.

Must try : meals, chicken curry and mutton curry.

A good south indian meal is served with 4-5 varieties with a great taste . Chicken curry is great with good spiciness and flavour.

Note : If you want to visit on Friday for lunch, please plan early hours , the more you are late, the more it gets crowded.

Rating : food - 4.5/5
Service - 4/5
Ambience - 3/5

Final verdict : A good place to have a good meal served with descent price .

The food is good. Pappu is awesome. One of my favourite restaurants for Andhra meals (I'm vegetarian) They provide fast service. Cost is also reasonable compared to other Andhra messes nearby. The veg meals doesn't come with a sweet, which is a tiny negative point. :) My friend introduced me to this restaurant and I have been here quite a number of times.

Unlimited Andhra food. If you love spicy food, this is a must to go place. It is a little bit costly when compared to similar restaurants. For example, Biriyani is too expensive and the quantity when compared to similar restaurants is less.

Am a fan of andhra meals. And that is what made me go here after seeing a good rating. And it did not disappoint at all. Meal is really good here. Boneless chicken fry is prepared with small pieces of chicken with chilly and quantity is also good. There are a lot of options for Andhra meals nearby sholinganallur and this is one of the best.

Hygienic place compared to other Andhra messes that are around. Simple yet not spicy food.

So many of our north Indian colleagues also like to visit here as the food is comparatively less spicy.

Must try: Gongura chutney, Mutton fry.

I absolutely love Andhra food, for their rich spices and amazing flavors!
You should eat it once to know what I mean!

This place, is located right outside my previous work place. So we went here almost once every week.

They have both ac and non-ac seating separately. And we usually go to the ac one. It's a simple hall with limited tables. Nothing great.

Service is very quick. You have to pay before and get a token for what you want to eat. So once you're done, you can wash your hands and walk out. Also, they were accepting sodexo which was a huge bane to us back then!

Our usual order was either their chicken 65 biryani or full meals.
Both are amazing for the price. Tastes really good. Apt quantity for a single person.
If you're having the meal, please don't miss the parupu podi and ladies finger fry they give!

VFM - 4/5.

Kinda miss going here nowadays!

Bon appetite :)

Amazing little place on IT expressway right next to Hotel Gateway. The place is on first floor and is attached to Kalpana Ladies hostel. This place is famous for unlimited food served for a very comfortable price. If you are in chennai and are fed up of office canteen or hotel food, please try this place.

Pros:-
Easy access
Cheap on pocket
Amazing food
UNLIMITED food (veg is unlimited - Non veg is chargeable but cheap)
Delicious food

Cons:-
Table for four can be easily found
Standing eating facility available (some may find this uneasy to eat and hence in con)

I used to go to this mess mostly on sat or Sunday noon where I won't have breakfast and directly go for lunch with dead hungry stomach.. Out of all Andra mess in OMR, this is the best. They have AC dinning too.. Had the best Andra meals here..

Location - Very easy to find. No problem for the parking space as you can utilise the service Road.

Ambience - Good

Service - Good

Meals - Excellent.., Dal is my favourite.. They have many sides.. And with Egg podimass you'll have the best n huge meals..

Are you dead hungry in the noon n wanted to have best meals with low price..? This is the perfect place ..

Was hunting for a good Andhra place in zomato and found this mess with a decent rating. Crashed here today with few friends. The place looks okay-ish. But was properly ventilated and kept clean. Keeping the surrounding aside, v ordered The Veg Andhra Meals, Prawn Briyani, chicken Briyani, Chicken Boneless Briyani, Omlette and Egg Burji. One thing that was common in all the food was their hot spicy touch. Typical Andhra essence. Especially The Podi and Briyani were super spicy. The taste is really good. This place might be less fancy but food wise they provide you the best authentic Andhra food. No complaints. Good service too.

I'm not a great fan of Meals, but this was a place, where I had one of the most satisfying meals, when I went here first time. Second visit, made a very wrong choice of opting to try their Biryani.

Meals: The Ridge Gourd / Beerakaya Pachadi was damn good, I lost count of how many times I had mixed it with my rice. Next, undoubtedly the Palakoora Pappu / the Palak Dal. Loved it to bits. The Beetroot Fry was good too. The Pappu Charu (Their Version of Sambar) was good. I didn't find anything special with their Kandhi Podi / Paruppu Podi. It was similar to a certain branded one that we buy at home. After all this, I couldn't even go near their Beerakaya Gourd Gravy, Rasam or Curd, as I was too full. The Gold Fingers instead of the usual Appalam was a nice touch. I liked the Omelette and the sides we ordered Mutton Fry, Chicken Fry and Prawns.

Biryani Trail: Absolutely No No for me their Biryani. Sorry, but I can't agree Chicken Pieces mixed into Brinji type Rice as Biryani. Second time around, the sides were good, but the meals was an average affair (As told by my friends). Looks like, the food items had a tad bit more of salt.

There are two outlets (located next to each other) one with AC and the other Non-AC. Slight difference in rates between both the outlets. You need to get token before hand. Cost approximately INR 300 per head both the times. Cost of meals is INR 90 in their AC outlet.

Kalpana Andhra Mess - OMR - Meals

I love Andhra meals (veggie version) and there are just a handful of places (5 to be precise) that I like it from. Kalpana mess tops that list. After several failed attempts to go have lunch here with the gang, the craving was beyond obvious and when my husband asked me out to have lunch here, I caved in. Like totally!!

One very unique feature about this place is that they do offer A/C dining as well. The breeze was too good and we chose to sit by the corner table in the non AC dining area and it was perfect. Not a drop of sweat through our meal. Win!!!

However two different aspects here is that they serve meals on a plate, instead of the banana leaf, with everything except the rice on your table & they give you fryums instead of the appalam. Not complaining at all since it's equally awesome.

Starting with their podi, it is one of a kind. Very coarse and super tasty when had with rice and oil. I was this short of asking them if they'd sell me some 😋😋

Next in line was the green chilli pachadi. That was just to die for. Bursting with flavors, this was a bit spicy but complemented the piping hot rice. One could keep having multiple helpings of just this. It was that good!!!!

The pappu( this one had bottle gourd) was just staring at me and it was super thick. Haven't seen this thickness anywhere else. The first helping with the coccinea fry was awesome. I love the pakoda type curry and this was amazingly spiced too. I usually skip the pappu charu (their version of sambar minus the tamarind though) but his one irked me to try and boy it was a great move!! Lots of vegetables in a nice sambar like mix and went super well with rice and curry. The Rasam was equally good and at some point I had to stop eating as much as I hate it 😒😒😒

The only thing that I don't enjoy is the veg gravy. This time it was ridge gourd gravy and I don't like the spices in there. The cinnamon and strong bay leaf flavor turns me off in a meal. It's ok in pulao/biryani for me but not otherwise.

Super creamy curd and an extra cup costs you just 10/-

The meals at 70/- is just phenomenal. If this doesn't qualify for VFM, then I'm not sure what does. Next visit is going to be very soon!!

The husband ordered an omelette (15/-) and some chicken curry (don't remember the price) and he was enjoying it thoroughly.

Located near Sholinganallur, this restaurant is a must-visit for those who wish to eat delicious food at affordable price. My cousins & I dined at this restaurant yesterday. Upon the suggestion of my cousin, we went there & ordered meals. The food was without doubt, the best. 

A typical Andhra meal, consisting of Rice, Vepudu fry, Dal, Brinjal curry, Sambhar, Rasam & Curd, not to forget the delicious "Podi" & few fritters. In a phrase it was "SPICINESS OVERLOAD". If you aren't accustomed to eating spicy food, it would be a surprise shock for you. However, you wouldn't mind it at all considering the taste of the food. 

Upon request, they refill your curries & fries. Every now & then, the waiters make sure if we need extra rice or anything else. Though they are busy serving a lot of customers at a time, they make us feel at home. Unlike other restaurants where we have to wait for so long to place orders, get the food we ordered or even call the waiter to request for water refill, this restaurant scores up on all that.
My brother ordered Biryani, which was a little overpriced but was still worth it.       To compensate for the spicy food, we ordered Extra curd. 

Price: 
Meals- Rs. 70 per person.

Biryani- Rs. 150
Extra Curd- Rs. 10
Since we were ravenous, I couldn't click any pictures of the restaurant or the food either. I'll keep that in mind, next time I visit it.

It's fairly easy to locate since it' situated right on the main road, Kalpana Andhra mess serves delicious Andhra style food at very very economical prices. 
Their meals comprise of Dal, Rasam, Sambhar, vegetable curry, fried vegetables, spiced powder (gun powder/ podi), chutneys, curd and white rice. This elaborate affair is all unlimited at a very reasonable rate. 
The food is freshly prepared and I've always found it piping hot and very flavourful.
The style has the home-style touch to it and hence has turned out to be quite a crowd puller. It's always a house full for them during the peak hours!
Their biryani also exhibits the typical Hyderabadi flavour and is delicious. They also serve biryani with boneless chicken. when compared to the meals, it's slightly costlier, but when compared to the standard market rates, it is an absolutely good deal.
Chapatis with curries is also available and quite nice.
They also maintain the basic hygienic standards quite well.
All in all, a must visit if you're looking for some pocket friendly delicious Andhra style food.

Gracious service for hungry people. Anybody would know that Andhra mess are popular for budget lunch and this hotel is no exception. They serve great food unlimited style. You can pappu, rasam, sambar, fried curry, normal curry with curd. The best part would be the pappu with fry curry. If you are lucky then you can have potato as fry curry. I think the pricing is normal for any normal Andhra mess. Ac restaurant is no different and it is completely waste of money.

Anytime you feel like having spicy andhra meals, this is one of the best places to go. On weekdays , this place is jam packed with IT crowd, so it's better to reach early. The chutney and daal is really yummy but the curry can be better.

Every Saturday during my stay in Chennai I ate there. It was a decent place for a decent Telugu meal . They have a proper full meal for the people. Along with all the varities , they have a different menu for everyday. Their service is amazing and very crowded place , cuz it is one of the best places to eat proper meal. They serve tiffins during nights they're also amazing. They maintain good quality and hygiene.

Quality food. Value for money. Service is good and fast. Non veg meals 140 rs (includes, chicken fry and omelette) Veg meals 90 rs Egg podimas 20 rs Small place, too congested during office hours. Seating capacity is only around 40 people. Good for people looking for heavy andra meals. Ambience is very mediocre. No proper car parking or bike parking facility (service lane parking, but it is very narrow) People from mettukupam (CTS, gst global can be seen quite often)
