Would love to talk about one of the #oldest & my one of my favourite #SouthIndian restaurant in the city today - talking about #MadrasRestaurant on #CRAvenue which was founded way back in 1939 - a simple restaurant where one has nothing else to talk about but the delicious & authentic food on offer at an unbelievably economical pricing even today..
Walked in here after ages a couple of days ago for lunch with #mom who was reminescing her quick #lunchdates out here with #dad in the late eighties where the bill used to touch 5 to 7 rupees max for a Masala Dosa & Idli - can you believe that 😀
This place is currently owned by a South Indian family who also owns the Udupi outlet across the road - the original South Indian owners who founded the restaurant are no more a part of the management these days.. This place always hustles and bustles with office crowd but now they are struggling to make ends meet unfortunately because of this Covid situation - let's hope another iconic joint doesn't shut down.. Please walk in and enjoy a meal whenever you are around.. In today's job hopping world - it's so enriching to find most of their staff working for more than 35 years at this same restaurant..
We enjoyed #GheeIdli (freshly made - melt in the mouth idlis), #MeduVada (the best & crispy yet soft vadas that I have tasted till date in the city - reminded me of my Mumbai days where I use to get this taste more frequently even from roadside vendors), #MasalaDosa & my favourite #GheeButterOnionSadaDosa - the #coconutchutney served with these delicacies is truly mind-blowing to say the least..
As a footnote, let me also talk about my personal views about #AnandRestaurant (which is relevant out here because it's also a pretty well known South Indian restaurant just a couple of buildings away) as well - the more upmarket South Indian restaurant nearby - they were always grossly overpriced but atleast they offered quality food on the table but offlate in the past couple of years I have realised through 3 to 4 visits that their quality has deteriorated drastically yet they are still grossly overpriced - I would suggest everyone to opt for #Madras anyday if you are looking for good South Indian meal in that vicinity rather than just a great ambience)
My humble two cents: #MUSTTRY (if you haven't already) 🤝
