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.

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.
