Ordered 2 mini meals & a limited meal on a Sunday. The restaurant by mistake did not send one of the mini meals for delivery. I asked them to send it again and the same zomato executive went back to the restaurant and got my misplaced item. Thank you Zomato for your kind service and thank a lot to the delivery sir Afzal khan.
Service is good and standard items taste is ok. I normally go for parcel service here and my experience has been quite good. Dine in May not be suitable considering non AC set up and highway hotel arrangements of tables and chairs. For a simple traditional southern type foods this seems like a conparitively better option...
Perfect place to have morning breakfast and evening tiffin.. their mini tiffin are worth having it.. idly, masala dosa, poori, kichidi, sambar vadai, sweet and perfect coffee to end.. best ever South Indian items in a single plate..
Mom and I landed here for an early dinner one day after a bad experience at the most famous Bhavan chain (previous review).
At about 7:30, the place was partly full. Clean, bright set up with regular tables and chairs. Our orders were taken quickly. Service was very good, which more than made up for the average tasting food. And on that day I realised that good, attentive service is what makes the best impression.
We got onion rava masala dosa, chola poori and spl falooda. The dosa batter wasn't fully fermented and so it tasted just ok. The Choley masala was again average only. Chutneys and sambar were very tasty.
Falooda was served in a really tall, narrow glass which made it difficult to scoop ice cream and fruits out. But it tasted really good with a good amount of nuts, fruits, Sabja seeds and ice cream.
Service is quick, dining area is clean, food is reasonably priced and there s parking for about 3-4 cars in front. A winning formula and safe bet for good veg good in that area.
Good food... Meals is tasty and the place is good as that one compared to the purasawalkam branch... The dal served in the meals is just awesome... Worth a try !!
Rates are also reasonable !!
Hotel Raaj Bhavan is a very decent vegetarian restaurant, both in terms of its ambience, hygiene , spacey dining and the look as well as the taste, quality and quantity of the food they serve.
I am always intrigued by this concept of mini tiffin. In my opinion , ideally the mini tiffin should be composed of items which should give a sneak peek into the best of their menu. Next time based on the items that gave best impression one would pick the menu in a more conventional avatar of it.
Anyhow, coming to Raaj Bhavan's mini tiffin, it consisted of mini sambar idlies, kid size masala dosa, pongal, sambar vada, kesari, coconut and kaara chutney, sambar and a mini coffee. As a whole, the mini tiffin was very comprehensive, more than filling you tummy, and great value for your money.
Coming onto the individual dishes, mini sambar idlies were fine. I would have expected a more softer and less grainer version of the idlies but the ones presented were just fine. They seamlessly got soaked in the sambar and just melted their way into the pharynx nicely.
Pongal was however below average. It was a bit dry to my liking and taste was also bland. I would have liked more flavour of the jeeragam, ginger, pepper and other condiments in it.
The masala dosa was good. Sambar vada was outstanding. Kesari wonderful. Filter coffee was terrific. Sambar was nice, more of udipi style than tamil style. Coconut chutney was so fresh, and so tasty.
On the whole, I should say I was satisfied with their mini tiffin and certainly will return to this place to try out bugger platter of their mini sambar idlies, idly sambar, Poori and meals. The service was good, friendly and the server made sure that the sambar was refilled as and when required and also each and every item of the menu was not missed. Great value for money this place is.
Was here for dinner yesterday. Had a plate of idly and plain dosa. Idly was soft and the sambar was decent, but the chutney's are not that great. Seems coconut chutney was straight from fridge.
Have been to this place a couple of times although always had a take away. The food is OK not great not bad and the proportion are just about enough.
This South Indian restaurant serves the usual Idli , Dosai , poori , Vadai etc . The food here especially the Idli with the tasty sambar most times is good . When the sambar is done good with it's usual level of consistency the other main food dishes taste fab . The pricing is not 2 high & the food can be eaten in this place on a regular basis provided the consistency of quality is met . Not a great place to dine with the ambience set up , but the food can be parcelled & eaten at home with each person's individual taste & heating of food . Overall the place can be visited by family & will be better if the ambience can be given a facelift & will suggest to improve business the interiors should be done at least like a three star hotel restaurant .
The Best South Indian 'Tiffin' dishes in the city, Period. Highly recommended.
Classic food undoubtedly . You could taste the actual sambhar of madras . Meals is the highlight . I wouldn't recommend this hotel for fast foods or tandoor .deal only with South Indian dishes ! Ignore rest pls .

If you are lazy to cook at home..but can keep rice..dont want to spend too much..get ur rasams sambars and poriyaals from here.. A thing for a typical south indian
The experience was delightful. The mini meals were not only delicious but also offered a great variety of flavors. Each component, from the main dish to the sides, was well-prepared and seasoned perfectly. The portion size was just right, and the presentation was appealing. The restaurant's ambiance was pleasant, and the service was prompt. Overall, I had a satisfying dining experience and would recommend trying their mini meals.
This was the hotel which reminds me my childhood memories. My mom always used to bring me to this hotel and order me special masala dosai which are favorites for 90s kids. It's a Udupi based hotel and the sambar and chutney are the typical one which we get for idly's and dosa's. The service is always been good and coffee with typical Udupi veg restaurant taste. Even though I must have rated this hotel 5/5 for their taste I have given 4/5 only because for their rates. This is one of the first hotel those days which increased the prices to double, triple. Since I reside in the same area and I remember after eating masala dosa my mom just paid 30 rs. Then it came 40 then 50, and 60 then transformed to 80 and 100 rs in a very short span of period. Now I think it's 120 or 130 they are charging for special masala dosai but not sure as I now a days not visiting this hotel frequently
Still the best affordable hotel in Nungambakkam. Eating there for the past 30 years. Amazing tiffin items and good filter coffee.

One of the good Vegitarian restaurants in the Nungambakkam area. It's a packet friendly hotel. Delicious South Indian and North Indian varieties are available at reasonable prices. The fresh juice section serves tasty fresh juices, milk shakes, and fruit salad. The sweets and savouries section serves varieties of sweets like Mysore bha, Laddu, etc.
Service was great. Taste wise ok. Family restaurant.
Good vegetarian food...place is neat... Good service... Not for those who seek ambience , if you want to have a decent veg food in city this is the place.

Visited Raaj bhavan for having a lunch.
I ordered Mini meals and this was sufficient.
Overall atmosphere is good.
Tip: try and reach a bit early say 5 minutes before peak lunch hour if 1300 hrs to 1400 hrs
Awesome people s in service area in first floor.
By my mistake, food gravy fallen on my Trouser from one service boys ....
but their service incharge cleaned that by his own handkerchief. He called other service boys also with tissues , hot water etc .....
I felt so small Infront of his greatness.....
After food ,during my departure, he said sorry with folded hand for the incident .....
Awesome people with great sense of humble attitude....
Thanks sir and team...
I hope this was a greatest learning( Being Humble) from you Sir.....🙏
Good quality tasty food -the king (Raaj)among Udupi hotels in that area
Good old vegetarian hotel. The rates or on a higher side. The increase the and at the same time reduce the quality or quantity of the food. For example the offered coconut chutney, onion chutney, tomoto chutney, sambar, துவையல் and milakairpodi with oil. Now the. Increased the rate and reduced the side dish to sambar and chutney. Earlier they did service in their business. Now the do business without bothering the customer.
I have been eating here since the 1980s as a student. The place is a simple vegetarian restaurant which serves all the popular dishes from Tamil Nadu. They are famous for their sambar Vadai, idlies, dosas, Rava dosas, Pongal and Upma. They also serve South Indian meals in the 1st floor. The Sambar served here is excellent. The place is very straightforward simple place designed to serve its continuous patrons quick meals and exit soon. Most of the customers don't stay here for more than half and hour. Surely one of my top 10 vegetarian restaurants in Chennai just because of the taste and quality of the food.
