This is one of the best places in chennai to have hot hot appams / hoppers. The best dish that goes along with hoppers is coconut milk / onion ulithiliyel , this is a speciality in this restaurant , and am sure u wouldnt have tasted anything like this anywhere else. U get other regular south / north indian fares too - veg and non - veg . Usually crowded over lunch / dinner especially over the weekends. U could see a big office going crowd on the weekdays. Have a gud time eating here. Cheers. Also available in OMR Road too.
