Folks,
Idlly Sambar .... has become the most popular food. When northindian think about Madras they immediatly think about idlly sambar.
But folks, whenever I think about this .. wat comes immediately in my mind is Ratna Cafe Masters of Idlly Sambar (MIS).
It is in central Triplicane on Triplicane High Road & just a km from Marina Beach. If you take Pycrofts Road from marina beach you will reach Ratna Cafe in about 10 to 12 mins by walk or ask any ppl there.
It is one of the oldest cafe in madras recently renovated.
You will not believe the taste of it. I don’t know about my great grand father but my grant father, my father & me have taken idlly sambar in Ratna Cafe.
I sure you will not get foods like Ratna Cafe. I dont even like Saravana Bhavan its is not good at all and there price is also high.
Why pay more when the taste is not good?
When you visit Madras just have your breakfast there in Ratna Cafe.
For breakfast & evening break-- Ratna Cafe, Triplicane
For lunch veg (southindian) -- Vasanta Bhavan, Adyar
For lunch Non-veg -- one chettinadu resturant in Gaudiya Mutt road, Royapettai (forgot the name)
For time pass & Junk food -- Marina Beach
For a nap -- Parks in Madras
For hang around - Usman Road & Mount road (near LIC)
In all beware of PICK POCKETS.
CHeers,
