A simple, ancient looking hotel that we would have gone to 30 years back. The Dosa we ate was so fantastic that it both looked and tasted like it came from the 90s hotels. You will remember this place for its sambar if not for other things. Chapati and Korma were delicious as well.
The washbasin could use some new facets (not modern). Let's not demand aesthetic ambience everywhere and ruin all that is left of the ancient.
60+ years in service , old ethnic style , feel the taste in its original form
Their sambar is awesome chutney is fantastic
Some times we should also go to this kind of good old tasty food serving places
Decent food the taste is not excellent but acceptable.
Restaurant still holds its heritage in terms of their ambience,Thats really appreciated.
Past 40 years is our family hotel.
My favourite is Set dosa and pakkoda kuruma .
Each and every item is very good.
One of the best sambar idly in Chennai.
affordable price.
Heaven for vegitarion.
Loved this place... Ambiance is so gud retro style. I tried dosa nd samabar idly really amazing samabar ever had 😍
Feels very homely.. Be the food and the ambience.. Just like hotel in olden days..
Very reasonable and very tasty, unlike some big hotels nearby.
The waiters will keep filling up your plate with chutni / sambar / kurma etc.. I have not got a chance to try out lunch but tiffin is fantastic.
They accept UPI payments as well.
Hard to find out the location as it is situated in a narrow path but walkable distance from Forum mall or Vadalapani temple. Do try out this budget friendly hotel.

It's definitely not inexpensive if that's what you expect from the ambience and the photos that you see. It has the nostalgic charm if anyone is a fan of that. The ambience, the waiters all would take you down the memory lane - there are quite a few places like that in Chennai.
Taste of the food's quite good. Puries seemed to be made from whole wheat - it didn't have the whiteness or stretchiness of maida. Really puffed up nicely they feel very light. One would be done with it in a jiffy. I think you can take second helpings of the subji. The person opposite me asked for it and it was given . Had I known it i wouldn't have been rationing and rationalizing the subji that I was taking with every piece of the second puri. I would have been more indiscriminate and perhaps enjoyed it better. The subji is mild and nice.
The rava Dosa was really nice with a firm backbone - crispy and nice to eat. Sambar was good with a nice flavor. Only coconut chutney was served. Kara chutney was also there but wasn't served by default. Perhaps they would have if I had asked. But the sambar and chutney tasted so good that I didn't want a deviation/ distraction.
Coffee was also good. Normally I do not like the smell of milk in my filter coffee. But here I did smell milk and it felt good.
Waiters serve well and they also expect to be tipped.

As confirmed I am a resident of Vadapalani and have been. Patronizing your breakfast for many year mainly because of quality,portion and price.Now I have a serious suggestion their are customers like us who come for breakfast after workout,yoga,walking,vendors,etc etc who may require a little bit more portion particularly PONGAL.WHY NOT SPLIT PONGAL IN TWO PORTIONS ONE REGULAR SIZE @ Rs 65, and a LARGE PORTION SIZE @ RS 100.So that customers who are a bit more hungry can have the LARGE SIZE.Thus will also boost your business.
Though very homely food.Their is two grievance.1. The red chutney is not8 ready even at 7.00a.m when other menus is ready.This chutney goes well with Pongal and Dosa. 2 .The vads in the morning has a strong taste /smell as if fried in recooked /reused oil.please look into the above urgently otherwise a good hotel to be recommended.
Pongal quality has to be looked in
13th oct 23 it was semi liquid.
14th Oct no pepper ,no curry leaves just blunt.
VADA CURRY WOW EXCELLENT TASTE MUST TRY
Nice Food. Yummy.. Worth 4 money.. Only thing the serounding environment is not pleasent due to road work..
Good vegetarian restaurant, good taste, neat and clean, vintage ambience, affordable price.must try this hotel
