Iconic restaurant of Mylapore, Karpagambal mess

I am back & I am not hungry, as I used to be because these days my appetite is lesser when compared to last year. In this post, I will be introducing you all an iconic restaurant of Mylapore , Chennai.
Karpagambal mess which is one of the oldest eatery point in Mylapore , serves authentic tamizh cuisine..
As I visited this place in the evening I could try some of the delicious Tiffin of this mess..

This mess welcomed me with the Carnatic music (as I am a musician, wherever I go if there is a classical music the place becomes close to my heart)  which was treat to my ears, but I had visited this place to treat my tummy which was suffering from hunger from 4 hours 😁..

Idiyappam is a  must try in this mess, which is served with a less spicy kurma made of vegetables..
As I am a Bangalorean (as of now 😂), I have tried plain dose or dosa or dosai here in Bangalore which is not as big as the plain dosai that's available in this place, plenty of oil is used to roast the iconic (according to me 😂) plain dosai & usually served with two chutneys. One is white or coconut chutney & other is green chutney or mint (pudina) chutney.. & sambar is usually served for dosai, Sambar has good number of Onions in it😋..

But, other items to tried here are idli, vadai, pongal-vadai, different types of dosais, halwa, & last but not the least filter kaapi ( coffee is too mainstream)..

Apart from Tiffin if you are a bachelor staying in Chennai & if you are missing the pickle , powders & papads which were prepared by your mom &  are you still missing it 😭? Don't worry come to karpagambal mess & you guys can purchase those things here & enjoy your meal/dinner at your place..

And yeah, this hotel is in Mylapore for more than 60 years..

Food is awesome & has a homely taste..
It's time to give a report card
Taste- 9
Ambiance- 10
Quality - excellent I will give 9
Service- 8
Value for money - bit expensive but you have to give for the homely taste..

Point to be noted before I sign off, this restaurant is an eco friendly hotel, it serves the food items on the plantain leaf, which is way traditional yet eco friendly..

Location of this iconic restaurant is in Mylapore, very near to Kapaleeshwara temple & just opposite to Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan..

That's the report of Mylai Karpagambal mess of Mylapore, Chennai..

Myself Abhay, signing off from this post & will keep you guys updated with my recent visits to other restaurants..

Sukhanivas hotel Mylapore

After a long gap, I aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam baaaaaaaaaack but I aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam hungryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy....

Today I am visiting a classical restaurant namely Udupi sukhanivas which is in Mylapore, Chennai..
In the busy streets of Mylapore, you can find many restaurants, but this restaurant is one of the oldest restaurant in that street..
It was started by Murdi P.Hayavadan Rao some where in the year 1954.
For breakfast you must try pongal vadai & idli-vadai..
Apart from that you also get varieties of dosais.. But after having a heavy but healthy breakfast, if don't try filter kaapi, then you haven't completed your breakfast..
When you have ordered idli-vadai, they serve it with 2 types of chutneys (tomato & tengai(coconut) ) and a sambar which consists of small sized onions (commonly known as sambar onion). You can find black pepper instead of chillies inside the vadai..

If you are hear for the lunch, they serve meals on the plantain leaf, which will be having a curry, pickle, rice, Rasam, Sambar, Avial, Gravy, curd & papad..
Which is really delicious and yet healthy..

Even though they serve North Indian cuisine, I advise you guys better to have south Indian cuisine here..
Tip: always try the local specialities in the city you are visiting..

Attention!!! Don't dare to try  parota (Kerala style) & curry here..
You may order another plate just because of its taste.. yes parota curry is also a must try in this hotel.

Finally it's time for giving the report card

Taste -8
Ambience- 7
Value for money- 7
Service- 8 they are quick.
Quality - 7, because many of the regular customers are complaining regarding the quality...

When you are in Chennai, don't forget to visit this classic restaurant which is in the Luz corner..

You can visit this restaurant any time between 8 AM and 10 PM..

That's all for this post..
Will meet you in next post....
