but on the downside - its a bit monotonous...not like anjappar or ponnusamy types where we order for a parotta saalna at the start..then order mutton briyani,chilli chicken,omlette and fish fry...edhai edukka edhai vidukka ..apdilam illa..
u go there...they palce barbeques...have it half stomach..and then try the spread :)
Please suggest some affordable but yet good in taste and somewhat good in quality places to eat in Serangoon Road :)

Thanks joe
Well, that is affordable in the mid-range
How about some just above-average ones?
Have you tried Santhi Vilas (Veg)? Their dosais were good, (but they have somewhat deteriorated in quality and taste the past few years. Nevertheless it is some good value for your money)
Any mexican restaurents in chennai?
Don Pepe opposite Maris on Radhakrishnan Salai is the best place for Mexican foodQuote:

Hmm....that's interesting! I knew of only places in Little India that served Indian food, plus one Mumtaz Mahal in Pasir Ris, only for N.Indian food.
Thanks PR :)Quote:

But what I am surprised is that the hotels in Chennai are always crowded. People are not bothered to spend! :?
In Bagalore Dominoes pizza-vum, McDonalds burger-um Ponnusami paper roast dhOsaikku eedaagavillai!
Popular Vegetarian hotels are the worst among these "koLLa ik koottam"..Quote:

Worth 14 $ (i know its a bit expensive) but surely great one for bday party treats
Curry and Kabab , Herndon VA - Ask me i u'd get better biriyani (mutton , chicken , shrimp)than this place.. keeps u licking your fingers even after u finish the plate .. well tats never happened as they offer good quantity of biriyani ..
Chutney, Herndon VA - Hopelessssss ..well actually it depends..when the cook is in the good mood .. u r saved
But aprt from that ..their hot bajjis and bondas is something which is a savier.
Not an apt place to hog the food. But couple of sidedish recommends for low/medium budget bars in Chennai:
GLM Meridien rooftop - chilli eggs.
Hotel Ranjith rooftop(Crystal bar) - chicken afghani
At end of it all, curd rice.
Anybody living in NJ/PA/Philadelphia area can try out Hot Breads at 260 N Pottstown Pike, Exton. The food is good, imo.
Viva Mexico! YES! Original recipes from Mexican home kitchens recreated by Chef Virgil James and his team of Chefs to offer authentic Mexican fine dining in a never before experience at GRT Grand, 106 Sir Thyagaraya Road,Chennai, from the 5th of Oct 2009 to 11th Oct 2009. I read about this food fest HERE and you could also check out findnearyou.com for more info and reference if you wish!
Cedars - Mediterranean. Now in Wallace Garden, Nungambakkam.
Slightly pricey and ordinary ambience. The spread and dishes are pretty good though
The thaali meals (Rajasthani) in Tip Top, Thane, Mumbai is sumptuous feast! And impeccable service!
Someone care to recommend some affordable Indian restaurants in London...
Near Kensington (close hotel), wright's lane..
will let u know in couple of hours Kiddie.
How affordable is affordable for you, kid? athai modjhalla chollunga
Seconding Plum's quote and yet..
KG Kensington is in Central London and even you are charged a congestion tax if you drive your car in the C London roads. So imagine the price of a meal there. The best (and nearer to Kensington) is Veersamy (not our T.R's) http://www.veeraswamy.com/ .. We can offered to go there just once in a year as the remaining of the year who end up earning to go to this restaurant
The affordable Indian restaurants are mainly in the Indianized areas in London like Wembley, East Ham, Oaking etc. There are restaurant chains like Chennai Dosa and you could even see Saravana bhavan in East ham.
Plum might have more to add though.
Ennakku Indian restaurant-lam particular illa. But my parents insist on having Indian meals for lunch (we get complimentary breakfast and dinner anyway)Quote:

AV,
:ty: again..
Received via email....
Best Thali's - Agarwal bhojana (sawkarpet), rasthani daba (anna nagar)
South indian meals - vasantha bavan, sangeetha's never try saravana bavan in chennai for anything (except important places like airport, railway station)
sambar idly - rathana cafe (triplicane)
poli's n gee sweets - krishna sweets.
coffee - all decent hotels, don't try at cafe coffee day n coffee day express.
For kadalai with girls, time pass with some coffee n desert best places - cafe coffee day (anna nagar, nungambakkam), Isbahani centre (nungambakkam), chennai central (mylapore)...
mylapore - bombay halwa house- 2nd home! lol
Can someone in Anna nagar West, Chennai give some feedback about "Chettiar Kitchen" on North main road?
Two places of middle class soul with tasty food
During my Winter Dec-Jan vacation to India this year, I ate at முருகன் இட்லி Shop couple of times while I did shopping at T.Nagar.
the place was fun.
My son loved different types of chutneys along with Sambar, they served.
During my short visit to Coimbatore, my appa & anna were showering praises on Shanthi Gears and their services.
Anna took me to Shanthi Canteen by Shanthi Gears - Singanalloor. OUTSTANDING food.
அவங்க placeley நான் evening கொஞ்சம் நேரம் தான் இருந்தேன்.. பக்கத்துலே walk ஆ போனோம்.
ரொம்ப பிடிச்சு இருந்தது.
There is a menu board.
select the items, pay the bill.
then proceed to the food serving counter, SELF-SERVE.
give your bill, pick up your food.
Used plates in the common area, they clear them fast.
very clean place, amazing food for cheap prices.
My son absolutely enjoyed the atmosphere.
Very proud of Shanthi gears.
I wanna make longer India visit this year.
Vinatha.
‘Vanakam’ to Chennai kopitiam
CHENNAI: For a former Malaysian air stewardess, the sky's the limit, even when she ventures into the food business in a totally alien and competitive place like South India.
Chong Bee Bee, from Sungai Petani, Kedah, has to thank her grandma for the invaluable cooking tips.
Like the Singapore Airlines aircraft she served on for decades, the enterprising woman's “Bee's Kopitiam” outlet at Express Avenue Mall here is also doing soaring business.
http://thestar.com.my/archives/2011/...n/n_26kopi.jpg
Carving her niche: Chong at her ‘Bee’s Kopitiam’ outlet that serves various local dishes including char kuey teow and satay to South Indians in Chennai.
Aunty Bee, as she is popularly known among her customers, has even proved management gurus wrong that a university degree or plenty of funds are needed to build lofty dreams.
“I was planning for the last 10 years.
“I wanted to start a simple concept of one-dish meals.
“ I chose Chennai because most people speak English and the people are friendly, too,” the 39-year-old self-made entrepreneur told Bernama.
After serving the airlines, she quit her job, got married and moved to Chennai with her French husband, who is an IT consultant.
She started off with home catering before braving into the food business.
Last June, she finally broke into the competitive food industry, opening an outlet selling Malaysian cuisine in Chennai, a hotbed for spicy South Indian dishes.
At her cosy outlet located in the food court inside the mall, Bee serves an array of Malaysian flavours to local Indians, foreigners and Malaysians living in Chennai, where there is a growing taste for exotic delicacies.
Customers are spoilt for choice.
They can pick any mouth-watering dish from her menu char kuey teow, chicken rice, rendang, roti canai and mee goreng, all freshly-cooked and served hot in traditional Malaysian style.
“I have about 16 main course recipes on the menu.
“I don't Indianise the food.
“I try to maintain the originality.
“Indians are getting accustomed to Malaysian food,” she noted.
Backed by a nine-staff team, all locals, Bee operates her restaurant for 12 gruelling hours daily.
“My rendang sells like hot cakes and my satay is also a best-selling product.
“On Thursdays and Fridays, I serve Singapore chilli crabs.
“My idea is to cater to people who appreciate food.
“Now, I have my regular customers.
“I don't face competition here,” she added.
With her hospitality industry skills, Bee's next ambitious aim is to open a French-Oriental restaurant in India.

Shanthi Gears Canteen - Near Ondipudhur, Coimbatore.
Disclaimer: I have not been to this place but I have heard from at-least 5+ different people that the food absolutely rocks. Almost every item is offered at a subsidized price and the food quality is absolutely great. For eg; Coffee is offered at 10 rs, Full - Unlimited Meals at 25 rs. This is quite cheap for Coimbatore. Heard that the tokens for meals vanishes faster and many a time they close lunch by 2 when it starts at 12.30. No parcels allowed for commoners but school kids can avail em if you come by school uniform.
Now what made me write about this place is that I heard that the Owner/chairman of this particular joint is a very philantropic person and he does a lot of very good things silently. Hvae to check out this place pretty soon.
Junior Kuppanna - Ram Nagar (Near City Towers, Coimbatore)
The setting is good. Perfect for la Familia's. Food is good too. A bit on the expensive side. They have all kinds of Non-VEG stuff. Found em to be good. Villan007, Unga area than. Have you been around here?./
