Extremely popular place in Adyar. The place is one of the best for traditional South Indian breakfast. I used to frequent here a lot with my family when I was young. Limited seating space, but itโ€™ll be buzzing at all times. The place is present right at the signal. Probably one of the best locations you can find here in Adyar.

Decent food. I liked the chutneys though. Basic ambiance. A good place for low-cost South-Indian food. They do have some time-specific special items which I'm yet to try.

Though most of the Tamilians have a huge love for Idli, I have never been a fan. But there are a few combinations aka sides that I love to have my idli with and among the restaurants there are countable number of ones where I like to order a plate of idli at Chennai. After my all time favorites, Welcome Hotel (Purasawakkam) and Ratna Cafe (Triplicane) - where I love the sambar idli, it is at Sri Lakshmi Sagar where I can indulge in a tasty plate of sambar idli. The slight sweetness in the sambar and the idli soaked in the sambar are divine and I cannot wish for a better breakfast.

In my recent visit to the restaurant, we ordered for Sambar Idli, Vada, Pongal, Tea and Coffee. The standout was the sambar idli. The pongal delicious too and a special credit must be given to the chutneys. For the above breakfast, we paid Rs.155 INR. The taste, portion, price and quick service are the positive things. For the Idli-Sambar lovers who canโ€™t travel all the way to Triplicane or Purasai, their next best option is this place.

If someone can fill ur stomach with tasty food within 100 bucks, wat else will u ask for???? Yup, this place could do that.
I have ordered for semiya brinji, but seeing the rate to be just 50 rs, I thought that the quantity will be less, and so I ordered sambar rice too, but actually it was absolutely filling. And also taste was also good, with loads of veggies and bread. Coming to the sambar rice, it was like typical Tamil Brahmin sambar, and was excellent.
They do give huge amount of side dishes. Kurma and raita for brinji, and potato fry for sambar rice. Potato also tasted too good. Usually I take more side dish than main dish, but even I couldn't finish it though I have finished the rice, it was that huge.
Coming to service, they should really improve on it. The waiters couldn't even explain us wat is available.
Really a great place for south Indian veg food at adyar.

This hotel is situated just 100 to 200 meters before Adyar Bus Depot.

Ordered Mini Meals costs Rs.65/-. The meals were served in seconds, it consists a Vada, Kaldosai, Sambar, Parupu Sadam(Dal Rice), a Mixed Rice, Curd Rice, Potato, peas Poriyal with Payasam.

All the items are tasted good and worth for the money.

A good option for vegetarian breakfast in the neighborhood.
The all time favorite sambar idli, and yes the sambar is a bit sweet here which takes me back to Bangalore diaries where I used to get similar sambar.
An awesome medhu vada with coconut and tomato chutney and then followed by the green. Yes the keerai uttapam.
And let me warn you before hand that this uttapam has a lot of keerai in it.
The followed by the classic filter kaappeeee.
Overall a heavy breakfast after a 10kms run..
Yes I do run so that I can eat more.

A clean vegetarian hotel. The place is newly constructed. The service was friendly.

I went with my friend on a weekday for dinner. We had Masala dosa and Oothapam. They were delicious and I loved it.

They accept cards for bills above 100, the dishes are tasty and affordable. I will go here again to try out a few other dishes.

I pass through this place everyday for the past two months but never thought I'd eat an awesome breakfast here.

I was at Adayar in the morning around 8.30 AM and searching for a decent place to have breakfast and Lakshmi Sagar appeared near and also it was recommended by a foodie I follow on Zomato, so went here straight away.

Ordered: Idly, medhu vadai and Filter coffee

Medhu vadai - Hot and crisp tasted awesome ๐Ÿ‘Œ

Idli - piping hot idlies with their delicious sambar it was Divine ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘Œ

All their chutneys were fresh and tasted really good ๐Ÿ‘

Filter Coffee - ๐Ÿ‘Œ

Service was very fast and attentive ๐Ÿ‘

This restaurant is located near to traffic signal and the noise from traffic can be disturbing at some times.

They had an issue with their tap water so they kept water in a bucket for hand wash but this water was not clean and it looked dirty ๐Ÿ‘Ž

Price - I paid 81 rupees for all the above items and the price is very reasonable and other items in their menu too priced reasonably


A must visit place ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

This is one of our favourite breakfast spots in thiruvanmiyur. Ambience is normal; it is not air-conditioned but staff are friendly and service is quick even though it is usually crowded in the mornings.

As it's a Sagar restaurant, sambar here is bit sweetish as they add jaggery to it but it tastes too good to resist. This place is famous for its vada. Priced at 23 the Vada would be really big and it would go perfect well with their traditional sambar.

Sambar idly would also be good. Ghee dosa is tasty but ghee roast would be over roasted so it is not recommended. Pongal would be nice. Poori and potato will be ok. Plain dosa is not recommended too as it would taste just ok.

There is a special item for each day but I have not tasted all of it so not sure of the taste.

Overall - a must try restaurant for all especially for breakfast and do taste the Vada to get their authentic flavour.

It is small but we'll maintained joint that really close to my house. Despite not being an ardent fan of South Indian dishes I've grown quite fond of this place. It's located in LB road on the way to OMR before Lattice Bridge and usually the car parking is free. The outlet is small but very neat and clean. The service is very efficient and fast, mind you they serve a Dosa within 2 mins. The taste of all the dishes is unique and delicious in its own way. Their paneer masala Dosa is damn good but it's only available on Tuesdays. However their menu is limited to only serving South Indian dishes , sandwiches and desserts. The best part is that this place is very very light on your pocket . Their sambar is unique and made in Kannada style. Their menu could hav3 however been more varied

With around 12-15 tables, it's one of those small, no frills restaurants. I've been a regular customer to this place for the last 3 month ย or so. The one particular thing that makes me keep visiting the place - the SAMBHAR they make!

My recommendation - make a trip to this place early morning (between 7-9 AM). Have a plate of the piping hot idly sambar they offer, and round it off with a coffee. You can thank me once you walk out of there :)
ย  I have tired almost everything in their menu, from Dosa's to Puri and Pongal. But nothing beats their I

Great Service
.ย 
Very reasonably priced menu are their biggest plus.ย 

Everytime i had visited them, i had to pay only via CASH, ( havent visited them after Demonitization., so if could bring Card system it would be great)

Herbivore's morning tiffin @ Lakshmi Sagar ๐ŸŒฟ ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘Œ

School friends drive to Pondy. Pit stop for some sumptuous breakfast was to be made and it was decided to be at Lakshmi Sagar. โœŒ๐Ÿค˜

Located at the prime location of LB road, it is hard to miss. Parking was not difficult as we were early for our breakfast. ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜

The place was so welcoming and almost for some time we were in a dilemma if it was a hotel or a temple. With the slogans and bhajans, the morning kick started with such a positive vibe. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘Œ

Orders were simple and where we had decided to go complete south Indian โœŒ๐Ÿค˜

The Idlees,
The Sambhars,
The Rava dosais,
The Vadas,
The Chutneys,

Everything tasted good. ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘Œ
Fresh chutneys and hot flavourful Sambhars helped us complete the mains in no matter of time. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

Though it was long back, it was indeed a memorable breakfast โœŒ

VFM - ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘
Taste - ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘

The place doesn't boast of any extraordinary dishes or signature specials, but the dishes chosen was tasty enough for a repeat order on another occasion.

I went to hotel Lakshmi sagar for evening snacks as it was in close proximity to my house. We ordered bajji, bonda and medhu pakoda. The bajji was nice and was cooked well and the bonda was good. But the medhu pakoda was a disappointment. It was too dry and powdery and I couldn't eat it without sambhar but still could not manage to eat it fully. The sambhar and chutney were exceptional. Overall a good place for snacks but please do not order medhu pakoda

If you had been on the look for some authentic South Indian food you would have already heard this name, opening another branch is a blessing in disguise.

Located on the same stretch of the Adyar branch on the way to SRP Tools this place seats laser than the older one but far cleaner ..parking is not a problem thou!
Had their mini meals a perfect buy for the money a little of everything. The addition of vadai was a surprise.
The same night had masala dosai and my dad had sambar idly no change in taste whatsoever.
Service is also good.
The taste remains the same which has been their key to success.

Ambience: Spacious
Service: Very attentive
Taste: The old reliable wonder

Working in non standard indian hours , you never get to enjoy the sun rise much and those places serving hot fresh breakfast at the crack of dawn . Life could seem upside down and you might do all your activities meant for the night during the day and vice versa ( All your activities ;) ) After a suggestion from colleagues , went for the Car Free Weekend at besant nagar for some relaxation of a different kind . After a quick round of suggestions from Where Chennai Eats , headed to bessie beach with camera in hand and a very very sleepy Kid . Got parking right outside a restaurant , which hadn't yet opened and went into the quarantined area , where no motor vehicles were allowed , but motor mouths were plenty . Since the Aavin guy at panagal park hadn't yet prepared hot milk , went in search of milk and tea around coozee area and found a rather popular tea shop . Stepped in and after an order for milk and tea asked what was that transparent drink in the fridge . "Nanari" , just ordered one of those too , which would be a big no no during any other day , for its sugar and chillness . Well it was an off day , so went ahead with it .After enjoying the sights and sounds of a vehicle free street , headed for breakfast at Mash , one of the suggestions from the group for breakfast with non-veg . They were just opening up around 8:30 and just had sandwiches and steaks and not yet started their regular breakfast . The heat , which was almost peak by now can drive your senses a bit wild . So ended up settling for a veg place itself . ย Drove along and reach Lakshmi Sagar , which was mentioned a lot by people around adyar on online forums . Found parking at the street opposite the hotel and had to cross a fish and poultry market to make my way to a pure veg place !!! Tempting , but i still haven't tried eating Raw Meat and if it's ever gonna be chemical free and organic meat , might try it some time . Got the first table in sight too in a very very crowded place . I wouldn't consider it a mess but it seemed cramped for a regular veg restaurant .Ordered a ghee roast for me (read somewhere that it's healthy , so ... ;) ) and a pongal and idli for the kid . They didn't have pongal which was odd , so went for kichdi . I was going to order coffee , but postponed it for later .

This is a great place for brreakfast, snacks and dinner. This is one of the few udupi joints left in Chennai. I have known this place from the time they opened business some time around 1993. They still maintain the same quality and taste. ย Medhu pakkoda, Sambar idli, Onion Rava dosa, Rava idli, Mysore masala dosa, keera vadai are my favourites here.

If you are looking for great food, served hot and and fresh in Adyar, this is the place to go. It's a clean and nice place. This does'nt have a great ambience though.

Sunday morning is dedicated to South Indian Tiffin varieties. When I heard about Lakshmi Sagar's review from a trusted foodie, I bookmarked it asap. And they did live up to my expectation.

Orders :
SAMBAR VADAI's : Giant, fluffy not so round shapped vadai's were sunk in legendary Udupi style Sambar. Special mention to the consistency of the sambar.

RAVA DOSA : The very purpose of visiting them is to have Rava dosa, bec I can never get the consistency right at home and I was having a sudden carving for them ;). at SLS they have nailed this with two nails. BANG BANG. Crispy , Humongous In size , Spot on seasoning to the batter. Those green chills and Mugungai Keerai ( Drumstick leaves ) gives a very authentic flavour to the dosa.

ONION UTTAPAM : Usually uttapams are made on the third or fourth day after the batter is made ;) with a slight sourness perfectly balanced with onions and spicy gun powder , this uttapam was once again a killer dish .

FitandFood was still hungry so he ordered, a plate of PONGAL which was not goey due to lack of ghee.. But his next order CURD VADAI tasted Vera level ;)

We finished the meal with a mini coffee plus a Badam halwa .

Pricing : Over all bill amounted to RS 250. Killer pricing . VFM level - Infinity

Verdict: If you live in and around Thiruvanmaiyur you should visit them asap, some where far...make a plan to visit them asap.

When I saw that Lakshmi Sagar is opening in Thiruvanmiyur near post office I was so excited. I love their rava dosai and this place is quite close to my home. Compared to the adyar outlet this is a bit bigger in space. A week ago a group of 9 ppl hit this place for dinner. Orders were pretty simple. Sambar idly, sambar vadai, onion rava, plain rava, masala dosai and onion uthappam along with chappathi and barotta for kids.

Every single item was good. I generally don't take idlis outside except ratna cafe. This place is another exception. The sambhar, slightly sweet (kannada style) full of flavours is perfect with the grainy idlis. Just the way I like idlis.

When it comes to south Indian tiffin my first choice would be dosai. Esp ghee roast or rava dosai. Very few places get their rava dosai as I like. I need the centre and edges to be crispy and rest of the places soft. Both onion rava and rava dosai was awesome. Onion and rava was loaded with onions yet they maintained the thickness correctly. I'm a big fan of their red chutney and it was spot on. The dhal idly was very unique and I've neve had such stuff anywhere. It's simply the moong dal tadka poured over idlis. I loved it. The dhal was exactly the same my mom used to make as side dish for roti except that her version will be more spicier. Onion uthappam with podi was simply good. The crispy edges and the well roasted onion with podi were just yummy.

A special mention to the kuruma that came along with barotta and chappathi. Thick kuruma with lots of veggies tasted perfect with mild masala. Chilli parotta that we had during our second visit was just so so.

Service is a bit slow as they are yet to bring in more staff. Paid around 600 bucks during first visit (for 9 people) and 215 during the second visit (1 sambar idli, 1 dhal idly, 1 chilli parotta and 2 dosai)

in the heart of Adyar, Lakshmi Sagar is one of the few Udipi Styled hotels in existence
that have been a sort of land marks for us Adyarites. ย I have been a frequent visitor to this place
since ages and have both dined in as well as Parcel ordered by food. Most of my
Sunday mornings start with a visit to this place. Their Sambar Idlis are a must
have and the abundant Sambar that is poured over the piping hot idliโ€™s is as
enticing as the little hot chocolate sauce that is poured over warm brownie and
cold ice-cream. Service is fast. Their evening tiffin menu offer a variety of Bajjiโ€™s
and Bondaโ€™s that are fresh and hot. Sometimes you also get Vadacurry with
Vendiya Dosa if you are lucky. All said and done, if you love South Indian Vegetarian
Tiffin, then Lakshmi Sagar will spell โ€œHeaven on earthโ€. And at the end of the meal while paying your bill do treat yourself to the little parcel of Badam Halwa in the cash counter that you can get for a new more extra rupees.

This place had always been our family's go to place for a quick breakfast... And we order food from here almost every week... Sometimes we go there... Or most of the times we bring the food home... Today we ate at home...

They open at around 8 with piping hot vadais and idlis... They serve dosas and pongals... Evenings they have a Mysore bonda that us completely wicked and very tasty!

They have the usual dished for lunch... I haven't had lunch Here yet...

This morning we ordered Vadas, Idlis and Pongal which came with sambhar and chutney...

And what a delight it was... The vada was hot. Crispy outside and soft inside... the idli was fabulous.... Their chutney was lil tangy but it went just so well with the sambar...

Previously I have eaten rava dosai which I love except for the peppercorns in the batter...
Another house winner is their filter coffee... Excellent!

Ambience is pretty basic and simple... The servers are quite efficient and are not fice star trained.... Their main goal to feed people... :)
There is one gentleman in particular , an old man who is very sweet and if you go enough. Will inquire about you and ask why you have not been coming.... He will even ask you to wait and serve u HOT vadas instead of the warm ones left over in the tray! Can't get more real than this... :)

I love Lakshmi Sagar and will always be my favourite GO TO joint for a hearty south indian breakfast!

I've been visiting Lakshmi Sagar ever since I could remember, and has ย been an all time favorite for my parents (and grand parents!) My dad has been regular here since his school days, and over a year since we moved out of SP road, we still manage to visit here once in a while, that is for the quality of food they serve. We have been dining here pretty often and not once have I got the slightest of the tamas.

This small restaurant is located on the LB road- Kamarajar Nagar Junction, diagonal to the signal.ย 
Parking could be an issue at times, but there is ample parking spot if you go a little into the adjacent road.ย 
The table room hasn't changed a bit in years. It's the same old furniture that we see in old tamil movies (Server Sundaram,) waiters also used to dress the same way. It could house easily up to 50 people.
They've had an extra bit of lighting than what is required. I think they just use tube lights!
The walls bear not one unwanted thing to get the ambiance tall, they however white wash it every three months so that it doesn't look shabby.
Like good ol times, waiter gives you the bill and they used handle cash, however recently, they have changed that a bit.
The kitchen works amazingly prompt, never has my order been misplaced or mis-matched.ย 
Food hardly take less than 5 mins to arrive, and it''s always hot and yum!
Their USP has been tiffin, the dishes that are supposed to be the signature of South Indian cuisine is what they make best. I've never had a better onion rava in my life.
All dosa variants are lip-smackin, chappatis are fresh, but to reduce the oil they make it a little dry, which ends up chewy. Parottas, so called unhealthy food, I used to eat here everyday and never felt a thing bad in my stomach.You should however refrain from the chilly parottas, that is one dish I hate. It has not changed at all.
Sambar idlies are worth bragging about, I am no fan of eating idly that way, but I just love sambar idly here!ย 

Evening snacks is mostly masal vada, bonda, or bajji. They deserve a special place!
To finish off any meal, Badam Milk, the best! Not really different in taste maybe, but definitely good in quality.

Food has never costed more than 300 rupees for the four of us, and is absolute VFM.ย ย 

If you live anywhere in the area and if you are looking for cheap, good healthy food, head right here.

Food- 5/5
Ambience- 4/5

This is a very small corner restaurant with very basic ambiance and may be 30 seater. Just expect hot steaming yummy south India breakfast, lunch and tiffin with super fast service and nothing more!!!! No frills whatsoever!!! If you leave a 20'rupee tip after your meal you make the fellow who served you very very happy and you will be welcomed next time like a King!!

Food is fresh, hot and super yummy!!

Recently I took my 10'year old there and she claimed they make the best sambar-idly in entire Chennai (she knows a thing or two about her sambar idly for a 10 year old).

On and off I have been visits this place for the past 20 plus years and I love the authentic taste! Forget the ambiance! If you love your no-nonsense south Indian everyday delicacies, this place is a must try!! Enjoy!!

If there was one restaurant that i have visited most number of times,it would be Lakshmi Sagar ,hands down. A joint visited by entire family every sunday morning for almost two years,it defintely has a special place in our hearts . The place is small and hygienic, with the smell of viboodi and oodhupathi wafting through the air at 7am every morning. The sambhar idli and vada is my favourite breakfast dish,ever. The servers wait around and make sure that the idlis are always enveloped by the hot steaming sambhar and the stainless plate is never seen spotted under the glorious mixture . The vadas are hot and crispy and our the perfect size with specks of molagu(pepper) through it and the coconut chutney is made to perfection without too much seasoning. The dosas are not too crisp just the way i like it and the masal that comes with it is divine. Another highlight of the place is its Thayir vada. Two smaller vadas doused in thick cold curd and sprinkled with coriander chillies and a little boondi is the best ending to ย every breakfast at lakshmi sagar. The vadas are soggy and the crispness of the boondi really contrasts the sogginess. It is brilliant. The staff are extremely efficient and cordial and over time they greet us personally and we have now become family friends :D Truly an ode to the best south inidan breakfast joint that is definetly VFM.

This place is one of my favorite haunts in adayar, Its cheap, Its tasty, and completely worth it. The place is usually crowded but I have always managed to get a seat. The service is very good, I always got an extra cup of sambar / chutney just without ever asking for it.

Idlis served with a mug of sambar, Mini idlis, and Special of the day are a must try.

This restaurant is located in Tiruvanmiyur, and it's the best vegetarian hotel to have a relaxed dinner with the family members or individually. The taste of the foods are great and the ambience is peaceful. They have a parking space for your two and four wheelers as well.

One of the popular Veg restaurant chains in Chennai. Authentic Veg South Indian restaurant service for more than a decade. Tasty food, Neat and fast service. Have tried in multiple branches and found their quality and taste are well maintained. *My Favourites* 1) Ghee masala dosa 2) Curd Vada 3) onion uthappam 4) Filter coffee Decent parking space too. Will recommend it to Vegetarians. Cheers guys.!!๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿป

We had lunch from this restaurant and must say the quality of service and food is just awesome. If you're looking out for an affordable pure Vegetarian restaurant, I'd recommend this to you. Parking space is an issue but yeah, for their food and service it's a 5 star for me.

Went to this restaurant since it had a good rating even when the Big Veg giants around it had average ratings. The food was good especially the keerai vadai. But their service was amazing, thanks to server named Mr.Raja from Madurai. His smiling face and courteous talks can beat hospitality shown by any 5 star hotel hands down. Tipped him well. Now, Give that man a raise! ๐Ÿ‘

A vegetarian restaurant which serves delicious food. The chutney, especially, is nice. The food is reasonably priced as well. The behaviour of staff was friendly, the utensils are gleaming clean which is a big positive for me. However, do not expect them to be having on offer everything they've put on their menu. This invites the deduction of one star for me.

Highly overpriced because of the ambience. I had the best plain dosa here. But 75 rupees is a bit too much! Kesari bath was okayish. Other vegetarian meals are tasty.
