75 rupees (1.1$) meal was so satisfying in taste, quality and quantity. Bharathi writing & rare pics were cherry � on top.
I stayed in chennai for Internship for 2 months.. Bharathi mess is my oly goto option for food whenever im in my room.. food was like home away home taste.. hygiene at its best.. reasonable cost.. efficient working pattern.. Being an MBA student.. i cld see many of our mgmt principles applied in their operations. Was went awestruck for the first few days of my visit to the mess.. Keep going.. Greatness and laurels ahead.. catch it soon... All d best..
I loved being there , really good food which was nutritious and filling. Quality has not been compromised at the cost it's been served.
Ever tasted like this Food in Chennai..
Thank you Bharathi Mess Foundation

Dear Sir,
I am R.Ramkumar (bachelor )aged 25, living in a mansion in Royapettah,chennai and working in TVS .Me along with 20 persons are the regular customers of THE GREAT BHARATHI MESS
You are doing a great job by providing nutrient-rich food .
Thank you for providing ancient foods like Mappillai samba rice,kuthiraivali rice,varagu rice,kelvaragu rice,sama rice,rava laddu,special curd,uluntham kanji,ragi iddiyappam,4 types of vegetables, mulaikattina payir, panchamirtha puttu,ragi kolukattai,kelvaragu kolukattai ,kambu kolukattai,kambu rice,keppai ,Kali,,sumithi milk,etc...
These are powerhouse foods and yet Indian people doesn't know the importance of these foods. I pity them .
On 29th July 2016, What made me sad is , why did you stopped provided vegetable meals in an old way (4 types of vegetables ,rava laddu,mapilla samba rice, kuthiraivali / varagu/ sama/kambu rice.,special curd, mulaikattina payir.) we loved this old style of vegetable meals and we are missing it .we want this old style back
Last , but not least
It's a boon for us to live in this generation,where you exists.I wish ,this service must prolong to the future generations also
There are No hotels better than you .
You are better than Saravanan bhavan,Adyar ananda bhavan,and all bavans....
We would like to donate a grant sum of ₹1000 to your efforts and brilliant ideas ,which would further enhance your charisma..

Simply THE BEST IN TRIPLICANE, CHENNAI.
Keep doing, Keep Helping people to fund for their education.

Located in one of the small streets of Triplicane, I was told that this is an age old place, started by a huge fan of Bharathiar. The place felt very authentic, with a simple menu and minimalistic interiors. So minimalistic that they felt the need to completely avoid any chairs! All you have to do is stand cozily on one of the tables mounted to the wall and be satisfied with every bite you take.
Just like a fast food restaurant chain, you have to order before and pay upfront to get your items and then you self serve. There are no need for waiters and thus; the limited space is all ours to stand and feast.
Had plenty of dishes as we went as a gang of 5 and we ordered chapathis, masala dosas, adai aviyal, vazhapoo vada, etc. Felt very much like home food and loved every bit of our dinner.
Fun fact: the lavish menu is printed on the walls outside and you know what’s available when you see clothing-clips stuck on the side of the line item (picture attached)
Will definitely visit again and an easy 5 star for the cozy, delicious and hot food they serve!
Have been here before 5 years. The taste was really good, the shop in Triplicane was very small but the food tasted really good.
Tried meals... nice taste for the money we spent.. 70 plus rs..
i expected something exceptional as many gave reviews by word of mouth..
but sambar and rasam i found it a bit salty..

Wanna try food devoid of any artificial colours & authentic tamilnadu cuisine just head to Bharathi mess which is tucked away in by lanes of triplicane. The property is small and little cramped decked up with the photos of iconic tamil poet subramanya bharathi and shelves filled with his literature.
Tasted the following items:
Vazhapoo vada (made with banana flower)
Dosa
Veg noodles
Bonda
The winner is vazhapoo vada fried to perfection when had with the 3 varieties of chutney will sure win the hearts. Even the noodles are made of wheat but too much of oil put me off. My only complaint is cramped space, which makes life hell during crowded times. Other wise this one is a must try for a peek into tamilnadu cuisine.
The quality of food they give is very good.But there is not even a chair to sit here.Also the prices of exorbitant for a hotel with no chairs.Parcel is recommended.For bachelors can try this hotel once in a week.
Just visit there once. I've been there around 20 times. There are no seats in the restaurant, it's a small place where you can eat as much as you can without burning your pocket. Awesome food, every thing that is served here tastes fantastic. Idiyappam - Thenga paal - Fantastic.. The best part is, the food is prepared without any food additive, preservatives, colour or any artificial taste enhancers.
One of my all time favorite restaurants. Usually I opt for take away as the mess is small in size and the crowd will be more. If you want to try a healthy, homely food, GO FOR IT.
Bharathi Mess - Friendly and best for short eats.
Yess.. Place is very small and the special thing about the mess is "They care for you".
They are not using Ajinomoti,Best healthy foods and they do prayer for our healthy three times a day! Doesn't it surprise you.
These type of ppl still exist and they do it in the name of 'Bharthi'. A big salute to all of them.
They have good menu with healthy items.
Place is very small and you have to self service and eat while u stand.
No big place for parking, just located inbetween the streets.
Do visit and have a healthy good! ✌❤

If you profess to be a foodie in Chennai & have not yet visited this place then I say, do without delay. Outstanding quality in simple veg food. Coconut chutney is as authentic as they come. Place is hole in the wall. But, don't miss. Filter coffee is a must have. Ragi idiyappam with vada curry, idli, pongal & veg meals. Hugely satisfying.They have a small neat place very close to Kapaleeswarar temple, Mylapore, also. If you are thinking about visiting then understand that prices are like that of Saravana Bhavan....
it is best place for home foods and bachelor life..
And taste really awesome and budget also minimal cost not rich . Nearby the bus stops and railway station

Great #TamilAuthenticFood
Simply they want to serve the best food in town! and the are trying to!
All food served here is neat and hygiene at its class! Their pricing is simple and much lower to the quality and quantity offered!
Nowadays people are buzzing around Unlimited Buffett's which is made out of various unhealthy factors! Just visit here for your Lunch (Lunch served here between 11:30-2:30) and you will keep coming back and you will also recommend this to your friends and family! The quality of the Meal / Vegetable Meal (Vegetable Meal: Standard Meal with Mappillai Samba Rice and extra Vegetables)
is more than sufficient to fill your 1.2 Littre Tummy!

Went there around 1PM and there was a long queue. Surprisingly, the meal served was healthy, authentic, tasty. A must try for all vegetarians.
Great food quality and very reasonable price. Great place to grab a quick bite or evening snacks. They explicitly advertise that they do not use preservatives. Great initiative indeed
#Mustvisit
I had dined in Bharathi Mess , Triplicane .. This is an excellent Vegetarian restaurant offering healthy foods including best Lunch .. Rates are nominal
Very small clean place. Rice served covered in small utensil to keep it hot. This did touch my heart. Meals at 110 parcel was very good. Do try if you seek simple veg meals which was quite tasty. It's located on a small street where you could find parking for a bike. Plan well.
Food taste, quality, service everything is good.. Very small place but clean. veg meals which was quite tasty. It's located on a small street so parking is difficult sometimes.
Good and tasty food. Amazingly quick service. Though the place is small and a bit cramped we got our seats immediately.

This is situated in Akbar Sahib Street in Triplicane. Opppsite side/rad of Bus stand. Few other branches are also there in other places. I have been to this mess so many times. It is such a quality mess much better than many hotels. Since it is a mess, chairs will not be there to sit and eat. A few years ago, they limited sambar or any side dishes to a cup or so, the quality was so good at those times. No extras at all. But that quantity was enough. When they started to provide extra sambar/other side dishes, the quality came down. Also when they started to provide many varieties too, the quality which was early didn't be there nowadays.
Mostly, women work here. Not connected to Bharathiyar anyway, thinks so. But bharathiyar related information will be posted on the walls.
In the limited space, all tables are properly arranged, and a few washbasins and food were served properly.
Price will be a little higher than other normal mess or hotels, but quality will be better.
Availability of an item can be known outside itself when a clip is there against that item.
Will not affect the stomach in any way as they don't use artificial items in the food.
Nowadays they have started serving. This is a mess where you can have food all three times without any fear of stomach issues.
Always a memorable place and will eat there whenever I go to that side.
Always favourite shop since 2016 mostly i have my breakfast and dinner here sometimes lunch meals
I don't have that much photos to post but trust me I'm regular customer of this mess since 7 years
What ever in the menu will be fantastic and hygienic
In 2016 it's a self service with affordable price
But, now they serves and price also increased compare to other hotels
But, taste and quality of the mess remains the same
My suggestion is cost cut the price by 10 - 20 percent again introduce self service it will be beneficial for bachelors and daily eaters.
Best recommendations here, must try
Idiyappam vada curry
Garlic dosa (top notch)
Veg meals (Best and better)
Sumuthi milk
Very good and tasty food but I feel price was bit expensive for the quantity given.
It’s small and clean Mess and I really enjoyed food.
Only cash allowed no cashless payment accepted.
Just visit there once. I've been there around 20 times. There are no seats in the restaurant, it's a small place where you can eat as much as you can without burning your pocket.

One of the best Veg meals which I had in recent years,for rs.110/-. after 1 hour touring beach with my family in morning was hungry at 12pm googled near by hotels spotted this mess which was nearer,no expectations very small space in mess but the rice well cooked hot serving sambar Kara kulambu rasam all on table really superb,2 types of kootu fantastic and with one poriyal , served one Vada ,ragi kolkatai small one,appalam, finally the curd was really awesome i didn't know rice was limited just had the curd in glass to drink which was good, could have served a small quantity of rice at last.only one con to serve only one person was available.
Excellent dishes. I went evening 7pm after tiffen items available at that time especially I am fan of coconut chutney. now they are renovated in A/C
Bharathi mess is one of the safest and popular eateries in triplicate area. The traditional tamilnadu vegan meals of Bharati mess is superb. There will be big crowd always and you have to wait almost 10 minutes. Its a stand and eat or take out restaurant with limited space. There are no chairs. But for the quality and taste its very popular in that area. The pricing is very reasonable if not cheap.The Bharathiar songs on the background is a highlight. When you finish your meals you will be satisfied i can assure you. This is one of the best option for breakfast too. Hence i recommend this hotel with five star.
Tasty food. Ok pricing. Good service. Sukku-milagu-tippily ( sumiti ) milk is nice. Small restaurant. Evening they open after 7 pm only. They must relocate to a bigger space, will allow them to grow.
Taste is very good.
Authentic dishes are available.
Prices are reasonable.
Place is neat and well maintained.
Staffs behavior is very good.
Planning is little problem.
One of the best place to have quality food with nominal price. Very hygiene and neat service from the people also you will enjoy like homely taste. I personally like this place bcs of bharathi i wonder they r the one among them "bharathi kanda puthumai pengal"
Tasty healthy meal.
Whenever I happen to be around Chetpet, my place for lunch is Bharathi mess. I get a sense of feel as if I'm at the poet's house and dining with him.
Food quantity, taste and quality is awesome compared to the price. Better than the food served by branded hotels around.
Dine-in option is better allowing one to get more side dish if needed. Take away gives whatever is packed, I think for some it may not be sufficient.
One of the best local joints ever, I make it a point to eat my food, every time I visit, Chennai.
