South indian authentic taste of breakfast.
We went today morning and have ordered podi idli,onion ghee dosa, garlic ghee dosa and a coffee.
The top rank goes to garlic ghee dosa.
Garlic ghee dosa - very special dish. I recommend this dish. A normal dosa stuffed with raw garlic masala. It was served with onion chutney and coconut chutney. And of course sambar. But it was not a thick sambar. It could be better.
Onion ghee dosa - dosa stuffed with small cut of slightly oil fried onions. Nothing much special about it.
Ghee podi idli - A fantastic one. Soft and fluffy idly topped around with podi. This podi is made my them and very traditional taste. But little costly. They costs 25rs./piece of idly. Worth for it.
Coffee - little bitter taste of coffee beans.
Overall
Food - fantastic 4/5
Ambience - three tables to be seated and two for standing eaters. 3/5
Price - 2/5 idli costs 25rs. Per piece is not acceptable. But for the taste it is convincing.
Though Iam not well, as per my wife's wish came to the one and only Kannadasan Mess. Welcomed with some light music of some good chants and a Bahubali man with a smiling face wishing and welcoming
I have asked for the best item of their menu, they told it's difficult for them to select one best item as all of their items are best. I have ordered khaima idli (veg) - didn't like it, average taste.
The special Balaji masala dosa - authentic taste of goodness served with special Kara chutney, nei podi, sambar, pudina chutney. Really good and make sure you eat it as early as you get it.
Ada upma - can't remember the exact name but it's fentastic really liked it
If you are planning for Balaji temple or tnagar give a try
Good place and a very good customer service
Well. If you wanna have the best South Indian breakfast, have this particular restaurant in your mind. Just Amazing. They have a lot of varieties of Dosa and other dishes and my good advice is never miss any. Cheers.
Went here today for breakfast.. Alone.. I had garlic ghee podi dosa... It was yummmmm.. That punch of garlic and the right amount of ghee.. Amaziing.. Along woth that smooth tomato chutney.. Eternal.. Definitely will visit again soon... Also had coffee which was bad.. I guess that was instant coffee and not filter.. 😐 Else great..
The review is completely based on my taste buds and my love for food. (no influence)..
Thank you 🙏

This is one ancient mess that has got a new look at a new location recently in T.nagar.
As a kid my dad used to take me here to have some yummy dinner after shopping, to be honest I wasn't comfortable eating kaiyendhi style ( standing and eating with the hot plate in my hands ) but the crowd there always boggled me seeing so many people relishing variety of dishes here even at late nights so when I heard they finally shifted to a new location with seating options available I dropped by there😍
My orders:
• Ghee Podi Dosa
• Garlic Dosa
The perfect crispy dosa filled with spicy podi💯 Special mention to the perfectly spiced podi it was finger licking good🖐🏼👅👌🏼
The sides where fresh and piping hot🔥and the manager keeps a check on it 💯👌🏼This really struck me he made sure all the customers were satisfied and the dishes where served to perfection🙂This experience surely took me down the memory lane of when I was a lil kid😇
💰Range : 20 - 150
Ps: This mess is run by the legend Kavingar Kanadhasan's family 🎗⚜
