This is a modernized roadside shop so there’s no tables or service (it’s all Kaiyendi Bhavan). Even parking might be a hassle so be on your toes all the time. The best part might be the price which is good for the food they serve.
Have been to this place both during their lunchtime and by night.

By noon I had tried their Mini meals.
It was filled with one veggie (long beans), Kesari, Chapathi-Kurma, Sambar rice, Brinji and Curd rice.
Though on the whole, I was just satisfied with the varieties in my plate, I liked the spiciness of the Brinji and the sweetness in the Kesari. I also wasn’t a big fan of the beans and the Chapathi which was kinda dry; Curd rice was simple yet pleasing. The chillies in the curd rice elevated the kick all around, pickles and vada on the side was perfect (not hot yet OK).

*Rating for lunch would be 3/5

For the dinner it was,
Chilli Idli – Very Spicy, moderate soft Idli immersed in a hot and savoury sauce; had good flavours and was unique
Panner Noodles – Pretty Normal, neither spicy nor stale; was just alright
Butter Vadacurry Dosa – Medium to large-sized dosa filled with a generous amount of butter, oozing on the whole on top of which was the spicy curry; mixed flavours made it worth
Podi Mushroom Dosa – Chilli podi sprinkled as raindrops from the clouds on the dosa; the mushroom masala was good though not the best; can try once, feels heavy.

*Dinner deserved 4/5; Idli/Dosa wins the race scoring 5/5

Good place to have food in street. They serve food within two minutes of order. Price is little high. Food is delicious and worth of money. Amd their chutney and sambar are best with dosa.. They have variety of dosa and fast food items.

Ordered quite a few times from this place and it has been good mostly. The packing is neat as well. If you're a dosa person, you can surely order from this place. Suggestion would be to add more items to the delivery menu if possible.

Pocket friendly go to place is this..... Have been here many times.. Its like a very good south indian eatery open fortunately till 12.00 am.. Its like a boon in the night for some good food.

Yesterday dinner was here, we had butter podi dosa and butter masala dosa.. Butter dosa be the best here.... I have also had fried rice and other dishes earlier.. Nothing will disappoint you..
There is no place to sit and eat here.. Gotta stand, but this place is always damn crowded even at 12.00 am.. Thats KTC..

Worth visiting.. The only thing which they lack is a bit of hygiene.. Being a fast food joint, we can't expect much.. And that too their food quality is great.. Just the hygiene can be a bit more better..

Must visit place in anna nagar, if you are fond of good food and will compromise a little on cleanliness..

Famous place in Anna Nagar serving fast selling food.

Their dosa are crisp and perfect and their batter is excellent. Many a times even the good restaurants you can taste the overfermented batter but not here.
You can try many variants of dosa with peas, vadacurry, gobi masala, podi with either the butter or plain variant. They serve three varieties of chutney with sambar.

You would have to stand and have food. After billing, there is always jostling for the food with crowd, would be better if they organise it better by the bill number.

They are open till 11.30, so perfect for late night food.

Who doesn't know about the KTC. A Place which is filled with crowd even at late night and early in the morning. This place deserves 5 stars but I shall give 4 because the Chinese and other items are average.The tiffin items is the best of best you get in any other place.

Need not review much about the place but just tell about some tiffin and Chinese items.

♥️ CHINESE VARIETY. 3/5
♥️ TIFFIN. 5/5
♥️ SNACKS. 4/5
♥️ BEVARAGES. 4/5

⭐Idly - Soft spongy hot cakes ....goes well with sides but the size is small.

⭐Pongal- No complain about it ...you definitely can try it as it is one of the best seller in this place and the quantity is worth it rates.

⭐ VadaCurry- Dry Vada Gravy with tastes good and if you order plain dosa and idly this is a perfect match. Its Quantity is worth it's rate.

⭐Khichdi- Made with Rava with blends the taste and with all the veggies it goes well with sugar and kruma

⭐Plain Dosa- Plain Dosa is average and nothing special.

⭐Nodles- It's good and can taste it and taste good and spicy

⭐Vada Curry Dosa- The best of best and definitely a bestseller in this restaurant and it's 5 star tasty.

⭐ Gobi Manchurian- Very bad definitely didn't make well for me as it was semi gravy and didn't make well when it came for me in a packing.

⭐ Fried Rice- Not good it was so spicy and wasted money 2 times in spending on Chinese items here.

After consulting came to end that this place is best for tiffin,snacks and tea. Chinese items depend on the luck when you try there or get it delivered.Over all 5 stars.

Sambhar, Tomato chutney,Mint Chutney are really good and the Vada Curry is a must try here.

If I want to have fried rice, this is the place which comes to my mind. If a vegetarian who wants to have fried rice in non-veg fast food style. This is the place for you guys. Fast food blended with South Indian dishes. Price is cheap compared other eateries and quality is also good at the same time.

Tucked away on a busy main road, this place is a MUST visit when you are in Anna Nagar.
I’ve been eating here every time that I used to visit chennai and the taste and quality have remained the same.
Butter Podi Dose is supposed to be one of their specialty and oh boy it tastes absolutely delicious.
The vadacurry dose is equally delicious. The dosa comes with a filling of really flavourful vadacurry.
The kichadi here is one of my favourites. The portion is big enough to be a meal in itself.
Each dish comes with a coconut chutney and mint chutney which I absolutely love.

I used to have breakfast and dinner from this joint only.
The food is awesome although the place is always crowded and you have to wait atleast 20 minutes to get your order but when you sit down and eat it's absolutely worth it.
Loved the dahi vada and butter masala Dosa.

I was asked to try this place by quite a few people and so I decided to give it a shot. I went there for breakfast and had the butter vadakari dosa! It was my first time having a vadakari dosa and was pleasantly surprised by it. Though slightly heavy, it tasted good. An affordable place that delivers on taste.

For this this place will be an emotional place for many people in and around anna nagar esp for most of the students and bachelors because this will not be an ordinary tiffin centre in one’s life, this place will become a regular bf/dinner place for many including me. One cannot simply ignore their podi dosa and gobi fried rice.. They are masters of Dosa I’ll say.. the chutney and sambar creates finger licking moment always 😋

Leave ambience. This place is one and only for the taste they provide.

The fast food tiffen centre which is not only pocket friendly but also has wonderful taste.

Though seating and parking is not there,it doesn't stop customers to visit the place.

Butter podi masala dosa - awesome
Pongal - awesome
Chutneys , sambar ,kuruma are simply wow.

Price of butter podi masala dosa is 60 rupees
Pongal - 40 rupees but the quantity is more

Worth the money and the place will be crowded always but they service is fast.

My long pending review!! Being a residence in Anna nagar ,,,been here n number of times and one of the land mark in Anna nagar!!

Located Just next to hot chips,,u can easily locate it with the crowd pull they have!!

It's a veg fast food kind,,they serve you all kinds of dosas,,and other chinese stuffs like fried rice or even pongal,chapathi and parota!

My personal favorite and what I would recommend is,,
BUTTER AND BUTTER PODI DOSA..
They are utterly butter ,,they just spread a dollop of butter over it ,sprinkle lavish amount of podi,, yaay that too with the sambar and chutney,,I bet u can't get enough of it!! It taste heaven!! Me and my husband man are freaky and madly in love with their sambar!! We could literally drink it too!!😋

PATTANI ,GOBI,MUSHROOM BUTTER DOSAare also equally good and lip smacking,😋 other stuffs like fried rice are good but KARTHICK TIFFEN CENTRE IS ICONIC PLACE FOR DOSA!!

If you are a dosa addict like me or a night owls looking for a late night fast food joints yet tasty and drool worthy food sorry DOSAS just drop here!!

As the popular quote goes "You know you're a hustler when you go to sleep after & wake up before Karthik Tiffin Centre" (said by moi). Open from 6am to 1 am, KTC is an actual self service Super-Fast-Food South Indian joint serving the crispiest dosas, super soft idlis & the likes with unlimited sambhar & chutney. if you're bored/hungry and you don't want to spend too much, this is the place to go to.
BEWARE of a 100 other Hungry people staring at dosas being made like Vultures ,though.

It's a roadside eatery shop. Where you can find huge crowd infront of it. Was curious to hit this place from long time bcoz of there high quality servings.
Our orders:
Plain dosai, vadacurry dosai, parotta, mushroom fried rice.
Mushroom fried rice was toothsome 💞.
Vadacurry dosai- another mouthwatering dish it was.❤
Plain dosai - a normal one.✌
Parotta and Kurma, which didn't make a good pair.👎 It didn't taste like Kurma actually.
Above all, though the place is situated in roadside,
it was squeaky clean.

This is a more hygienic version of the thallu vandi kadai. The taste of the food here is far far better than any other restaurant in anna nagar. They serve only veg food. The butter podi dosa is a must try with the lavish amount of butter, it just melts in your mouth.The Chinese items served here are also equally good. There is no place to sit and eat and take away from here is not a good option. Its better you eat it hot from the kitchen. Parotta amd its gravy is not thier plus.Avoid it. The place is open even at the night opposed to what they have specified in thier page.

Corner shop located close to Thorumangalam metro station.

Food ordered: Vadai, Paneer paratha and Ghee Podi Dosa

Vadai - Tried two different type, Masala vadai and Cabbage vadai. Both were too oily and tasted okay 👎

Ghee Podi Dosai - This tasted very good 👍👍

Paneer Paratha - Tasted average 👎

Price - Paid around 130 rupees for all the above items and this is the best thing about this place.

Good food at very reasonable price 👍

Been going to this place ever since I was a child. They have been consistent in their quality of food. Probably the only kayendhi Bhavan where the crowd stands upto the main road waiting for their food(esp dosas). Love the variety of dosas they offer. We ordered,
Butter Gobi dosa
Podi Dosa
Masala dosa
Patani dosa.
My personal favourite being butter Gobi dosa.
Their special dosas with their tasty sambar and chutneys is definitely something that gets you craving for more. They also have Chinese fast food that tastes good, although it is nothing compared to their south Indian food. Undoubtedly the best place for dosas in Annanagar.

I've been to this place since childhood. This place serves a wide variety of dosas and they're possibly the best you'll get around chennai.

Also , they serve a wide variety of vegetarian dishes. My favorite picks would be the butter podi dosa and the paneer fried rice.

This is one of the most pocket friendly places on the busy roads of Anna Nagar!

For dinner, Their Dosa varieties are so diverse and very tasty without biting your pocket. Their Sambar and 2 Chuttnies always tempt you have one extra dosa!

And their Chapathis are also very soft and delicious. It goes well with their authentic veg kuruma!!

Only con here that you need to wait to get your order as it's mostly crowded.

P.S: The restaurant now closes at 11pm itself! Be wary of that.

Karthik Tiffin Centre! Midnight hungerness? Well this is the right place , which serves you amazing south indian tiffin till 1 am. This as proved to be an famous streetfood joint which is usually crowded all the time even at midnight. They are famous for their varieties of dosa's and their hot hot pongal, apart from these they also serve parotta's, chappathi's , fried rice and veg variety gravies and starters.
I'd personally recommend their #Butter_Podi_dosa and #Panner_friedrice.
Apart the food, there isnt much of ambience to talk about as its a streetfood joint and its crowded almost all the time.
The only draw back is the hygiene of place. The hygiene is quiet bad.
Overall a nominal place for good food and for nightzombies foodies,which very pocket friendly.

Both the butter and butter podi dosas were drenched in butter, hot crispy ! The podi used in was spicy and yum and was a perfect blend in mouth with the combination of butter podi sambar and chutney 👌🏻

Pocket friendly, south indian, fast food restaurant..!!

Any person living in Anna Nagar and neighboring areas for at least 3 to 6 months will definitely know Karthik Tiffin Center.. If you are craving for some good dosas and ok with a not so great Ambiance then this is your Dosa Destination..

Have been visiting this place for almost the last 8 to 10 years or even more, the fast food side has been added only a couple of years ago..

This time had Butter Podi Dosa and Mushroom Masala Dosa.. Super tasty and Super hot to hold it with your hands but isn't that the best thing about such places..!!

Karthik Tiffin Centre is a small shop on the corner of the road, easily noticeable, thanks to a huge crowd of people standing and eating or waiting for their orders. Karthik Tiffin Centre is a little traditional joint which offers beautiful butter podi dosas, and melt-in-mouth idlis amongst a variety of other dosas, vadaas, etc. The chutneys are easily some of the best chutneys I've eaten in Chennai -rich, flavourful and sharp. Another thing I like about this place is that it's open till around 1.30 a.m., which is great for lazy people like me. Karthik Tiffin Centre is one of my go to places for food in Chennai. Something which I personally think could be bettered here, however, is the seating space, the absence of which leads to a crowd around the restaurant and it's better to be able to sit down for your food in the Chennai heat.

After being rejected by MMM for blood donation, Vandhadhukku pakathula nalla hotel leyaachu saaptu polaam nu mudivu pannen.

Seeing the hype around Karthik Tiffin Center, I decided, earlier, to visit this place. This branch has been recommended as the best branch of the 3 branches in Anna Nagar by a fellow foodie. They sadly don't accept cards.

I ordered a Butter Podi Dosa (₹50) and saw it in the making. Wish I had photographed it. There was SO much Podi that the Batter beneath it was hardly seen. When I had it. I knew the hype was real. The butter, though added to the fresh smell, was very subtle in taste. But the Podi, Chance eh illa! The dosa was optimally spicy and the Podi was grainy and bite-able which added to the taste.

Recommended visit for people living nearby :)

A small wonder in my locality which is crowded all the time.. very humble ambience(you need to stand and eat holding plate with your hand) but its worth the sacrifice..yesss!!! the food is yummy. i would suggest the following dishes if you wanna visit this place.
1.butter podi dosai
2.cauliflower dosai
3.thakkali dosai
4.masala dosai
5.vadacurry dosai
the hygiene makes us bit worried but the taste and the number of side dishes you get with your food wipes that away! :)

A person living in Annanagar need not to be told about this place. Have been going here since so many years and thought of posting a review when I went here yet again! You get a variety of Dosas and also Pongal, vadas, and Parotha. Their chutneys are very tasty as well. Earlier they had 3 varieties of Chutney, which is 2 now. Go here for a quick and tasty breakfast.

One of the place where you get quick service, at times you need to slog for some time coz of the crowd. Gives you good south Indian dosas with many flavours. Quality is great and they are getting along with the customers all the time.

A good road side restaurant situated in the heart of Anna nagar. The taste of the dishes made here are awesome and mouthwatering. Especially must try dish here is Vadacurry Dosa , it tastes yummy. Sambar and chutney combo is stupendous. On coming to delivery of food, its done really fast even though there are large number of customers waiting in queue. Taste of the food items are very yummy and price of dishes are reasonable. Must try vegetarian restaurant with friends.

I can't call myself a foodie if I haven't been to this place at least once. Fortunately, I've been here multiple times, to hold on to my title.

It's more of a landmark for Anna Nagar than being just a eatery. It's the go-to place where delicious and simple South Indian fare. From crispy dosas and vadas to fluffy parottas, their menu has got the basics of satisfying hunger right on target.

Oh did I mention? You can have a filling meal here in under 50 bucks per head. If that's not pocket friendly, I'm not sure what is.

A place need not have a great ambience, a high price and ostentation to give good tasty food. U wot go wrong here in your satisfaction index of whatever u have - dosas standout . And coffee is also great

First ever 5 rating in my experience.. Karthik Tiffen Centre is one awesome restaurant fr awesome dosas. Have been a regular Eater here for so many years. They have added idlies, parottas, chapathis to their menu.. however dosas are best here.. though I feel the size of dosa is reduced now, you can shell out ur money for the tasty, hygienic dosas, sambar, chutney here.. be informed, after 9 PM the place becomes busy and crowded, you got to wait for a long time for ur order. Haven't tried the other locations, but I have heard this place stands out unique from the other branches. This is a pure veg, south Indian restaurant offering only tiffen items.. enjoy...

Easily one of the best place to eat food at a lower cost.If you ever think of eating at Anna Nagar for a low cost I think this is the place I can recommend you.Podi Dosa is arguably the best dish they have been serving all this time.

If you are in the mood for a tasty, authentic, quick dining with the bill making you raise your eyebrows with happiness, then this IS the place. This place is always crowded due to the location and the food. Variety of dosas and Tiffen items are great. Fast food items at the night aren't mean either. One can have there, take aways and also eat sitting inside the car. At night this is a comfortable place to eat good Tiffen. Modern and sophisticated thattu kadai experience. Must try and I'm sure you will repeat.

Went to this hyped shop on a late night(around 3AM) very limited menu. Priced slightly on a higher side. Decent dosa and a very average sambar and chutney. Not worth the hype.

If you any one speaks about night life and good food in chennai, they would have definitely heard about the Karthik tiffin centre opposite to the thirumangalam metro station. Even at midnight one can observe a great crowd enjoying the food outside the tiffin center. Parking can be done in the adjacent road or in front of the tiffin center. The side dishes are to be self served and token system exists for the order. Even with a huge crowd, one will get food in a timely manner and we can literally see how our food is made because of it being an open kitchen. So a must try location in chennai especially for late night foods. Must try: podi dosa Happy fooding 😋

Karthik Tiffin Centre is an ideal spot for a variety of affordable tiffin items. Personally, I recommend the paneer dosai, though I wasn't a fan of the taste of the rava onion dosai. Overall, the other options are quite satisfying.

Yesterday we as family went for dinner Herr and soo much of crowded. The food taste was not as expected. Due to heavy rush customers were not properly serviced. Actually I ordered mushroom fried rice but they've given me gopi rice. I didn't approached to replace because of much crowd. The location of the shop is good and the corner shop. Easy for find a place to settle because here taking food in standing posture. Surely We can try the taste once
