Yummy......




Chennai is place of good restaurants and great food. Especially filled with variety and uniqueness. Just to name a few :

1.Murugan Idli shop: The best menu they have is idli, dosa, vada and pongal. Variety of chutneys and sambar with same. And it is just yummy!!! Purely healthy and filling food. The specialty of these restaurants is that when you go once, feel like going again...No wonder you find people there at anytime of the year.



2.Sanjeevanam: Another great vegetarian restaurant, which caters to provide healthy food to people. 'Rajakeeyam meals' is its specialty. They serve food in plantain leaf. Initially, they gave banana with little grated coconut and then came shots of -buttermilk, almond milk, date juice, vegetable soup. Then they served uncooked vegetables -four varieties, semi cooked-four varieties, and then curries (fully cooked vegetables)-again four varieties. Then served broken brown rice, steamed rice cake (called as 'puttu' in malayalam).

After we finished they gave honey for digestion and beetle leaf without areca nut and lime. and added freshly cut vegetables in the beetle leaf.

Speciality of this is they never use oil and do not use sugar instead use palm juice for sweet taste.



3.Barbeque nation : A restaurant known for starters. They grill the vegetables and serve to you unlimited. Offcourse there is tasty food after the starters. You have an option for non-vegetarian food for those who love too.

I liked the Sanjeevanam, it's really different from any of the restaurants I have ever been to. BBQ style is the same that we get here.
BTW, liked the simple template of your blog:-D

well u shld pay a visit to Woodlands Brindavan. The ambience they have and the food quality, that too with an affordable price

I did nt try sanjeevanam.
But tried the usual HotChips, Sangeeta (I always liked t. Just a walk from IIT and you will hit it).
Also the Rangoli by A2B at pondi bazar. The gujrathi rajasthani thali (unlimited) is the best.

Chennai is the best so far, for the veggies

Not been to Woodlands Brindavan and Rangoli, will try next time.

Not very fond of Sangeetha and Hotchips, becoz it is very crowded. Dont get any privacy ;-)They are to hangout with friends not for couples.

Yes, Chennai is best place for Veggies.
