One of the best veg meals I had recently. I was on a road trip with my friends and we reached Thanjavur to visit the temple. I searched for best veg restaurant and found this. The place was fully crowded and gave us an indication that food will be good. We got a table after waiting for 10 mins. First we ordered one Pot Dum Parotta as we saw a lot of people ordered it. It was prepared using multiple parottas layered with some veg gravy in a clay pot and cooked in a tandoori. It tasted ok, but we didn’t eat much as we wanted to try their famous Divyam meal. In this meal, first we got one chilled mint drink and one soup. Both were amazing. Then they served the meal in a big plate which had almost 20 bowls with various dishes. They served one roti, papad and unlimited rice. It tasted so well, but none of us were able to complete all the dishes. They charged Rs.360 each for this meal which was ok for the quality, taste and the ambience.

I visited Thanjavur for the first time. Thought some hotels will be there at the old bus stand.
The Ariya Bhavan didn’t disappoint me.
The food is very tasty and traditional.
The ambience is perfect for a good meal.
All the curries including the sweet served with the meal was delicious.
No wonder it will be serving another 100 years.
Staff is nice and prices are reasonable.
Only road side parking available.
This is a more than 100 year old Hotel located in Thanjavur right on the main road within 1km from the Big Temple. If you are staying in Thanjavur you can go to this place for Lunch , dinner and breakfast. The Ambience is calm and service is quick. If you are going in the evening do go to the old service place which has an antique appearance.
They also have a huge range of sweets and savouries.
Food here is homely, simple , delicious and touches your soul. Do try their Elneer halwa made of tender coconut pulp is awesome. Give it a try.
Stewards here are courteous and tend to your needs. They have a clean washroom and clean hand wash area.
