LOVE the filter coffee here. When you do takeaways they are pretty generous with the portion of coffee :) The food is really good - no need to say anything further. Quick service, neat kitchen and great taste.
Just like most of the other branches of the restaurant chain, Hot Chips Karapakkam also serves some amazing food, hot and sizzling. My favourites include noodles and fried rice. Any variants of these two are always awesome.
Its a decent spot for a quick meal..
We had ordered the south indian meal and Bombay thali. It was filling (especially the Bombay thali) and ok priced. their upstairs air-conditioning is also a good relief in the summers.
Tasty food but either their quantity is too low or the price is bit high compared to others. Also parking attendant tries to send bikers away (make them park at a distance) so that cars get more space closer to restaurant.
Emotions well up when I write about this branch of Hot chips. We visited this branch after a long day of shopping. The next day my Husband would be off to abroad and I was already half upset.
The best way to cheer me up is to get me good food. And we were at Hptchips. We went upstairs. Had Gobi Manchurian, fried rice, Aapam and paniyaram.
The main highlight of this restaurant is that they add absolutely no ajinomoto and food colours.
It's absolutely safe and kinda homely.
Located in a very prominent and visible manner at Karapakkam , one cannot easily miss Hot Chips. Even though it has a lot of other restaurants around it , it still stands as the most reliable and pocket friendly option in the locality. The ambience is nothing special but different as in , it has a very open feel to it , letting sun light illuminate the whole dining hall (as far as the non AC hall is concerned) . They have made it self service at ground floor , where prices are quite cheap and the delivery is real quick.
We have had a lot of dishes here - Idly , Dosa , Ghee Dosa , Chapathi , Paneer Butter Masala , Phulka , Naan , Malai Koftha , Noodles , Fried Rice , Gobi Manchurian , etc. All are really tasty for the price and of decent quantity. The combos avaiable for lunch are really good. One of them have 3 phulkas and a portion of paneer butter masala and another has some fried rice served with gobi manchurian dry. What surprises us is that they don't cut down the quantity of side dishes even in combos. The chat varieties are also really good here.
Most of our mornings start with an ideal breakfast of Idly - Vada at Hotchips and we really feel its worth the money we pay to eat here be it any cuisine.

V had gone here fa breakfast. Tried deir mini tiffen nd pooris. Taste wise I feel it has gone down a little compared to before. Vfm s good! :-)
Nice decent neighborhood South Indian joint with all cuisine on offer, ample choices from Chinese to chaats to North Indian though it's South Indian rules the roost. Everything is well made and decent and with self service to fine dining, the place serves different categories. Fine dining has decent ambience while self service is quick and efficient. I have tried all of their cuisine and must say it's efficient though I would rate the food between average to above average, chaats are ordinary and so is north Indiana. The best thing for me which makes me a repeat customer is their coffee, special indeed
Located about a kilometre away from shollinganallur this is a good place for typical South Indian food. Went here for lunch and their meals tasted good. The service was also great.
Tasty south Indian dishes. Their coffee is best in town. But the service is so sluggish. Podi idly we ordered is not hot at all. When asked about it they didn't even bothered to reply
The food is good, but the service needs to improve. Sometimes the waiter makes you feel like he's paying for your food. They need to train their staff to treat customers politely. As for food, the breakfast and dinner items are good, I like the chili parota. But meals is just sleep inducing, so bland and boring.
Cheese dosa, cheese pizza, tiffin items, chat and ambience are all yummy. Service is nice. It's all delicious.. We'll deserves 4.. Yummy..
Blindfold ur eyes and walk on omr, when u smell something sweet , mark me , u reached hot chips. went to have lunch on saturday and ordered veg noodles , rava masaala dosa and chilli parota. the best of them was chilli parota , a must to have. It has a roadside sitting as well as fully ac first floor. food is equally good on both. it also has a seperate section for mini parties as well. servants were well dressed and were alert. best part .. less taxes... nice right.!
Hotchips is nice place to visit everyday for breakfast lunch and dinner.. Their breakfast items like idly dosa really taste good and better avoid north Indian items as they are specialised only on south Indian food.. They have started chat items a time ago but they really don't seem good to taste.. South Indian items are worth try nd my favourite is filter coffee here.. Hot nd strong it makes me feel fresh
Ambience is Good..I would rate it as good as its Velechery Branch..
Reg food..As usual Mini Coffee ????,Kitchadi are good..What else to Review about HC..Chennaites knew it more than two Decade..

We ordered mini tiffin and dosai. Food taste is good except Pongal. Self service alone available.
We had afternoon meals here. Actually it is very good. Good quantity rice with sambar, rasam, curd, 2 kuttu, 1 appalam. Fair price. Quality also good. Good food option for peoples near at sholinganallur, duraipakkam, omr road. Other items in chinese fried rice, starters also there. Hygiene place. One disadvantage is its self service. If you want have some items while having your meal, then you have to go to that food delivery area again. That some thing is not good for old age peoples. If you are ok with it, then it was the better place to have your food.
We have visited with our friends. Enjoyed their tasty and crunchy vada and roasted dasa varieties. Really nice.
If you wanna have a good food at this area you can choose this restaurant. Price little bit high then usual.
It's self service restaurant.
Good ambience.
Easy to find out in traffic.
Parking space available in front of hotel.
Quick service
Variety of food available
A good restaurant for quick bites. They serve everything from breakfast to dinner. Tea and coffee are available all the time. The cost is nominal. The restaurant is self serviceable. There is a good amount of seating capacity. They accept all modes of payments. There's a good parking space in the front.
It's almost like a open place on a busy road. Food prices seems expensive. Self service. Food tasted fine. Parking good.
Food is very good here especially ghee dosa and Vada.....only self service and take away available....but the ambience is good....has fairly good parking space
Food is good. Coffee must try. Chat items are available
Tasty food on budget. It has limited seating space but the food is excellent. Went there for breakfast. Idli, Vada, dosa and Pongal were all served piping hot and it's a self service restaurant.
The parking space is also limited and it's right opposite to GRT.
Cleanliness could be improved.
Great stop on OMR for coffee and tea. Short eats like vada are superb at this restaurant. Polite staff like Maheshwari make it more pleasant.
