Any Restaurant serving Delightful & Tasty, Scrumptious Food accompanied by warm & friendly Maitre De Hotel around certainly sounds very interesting. ?Apoorva Sangeetha? is one such premium awesome Restaurant in the metro city Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India.
Apoorva Sangeetha:
This is one of my most favourite Restaurants in my Chennai City. ?Apoorva Sangeetha? is a Unit of Sangeetha Veg. Restaurants. It is a pure vegetarian restaurant serving excellent yummy food items which include varieties of South Indian, Tandoori and Chettinad Foods and a variety of Fresh Juices, Chat items and Sweets. As for the South Indian Food Item, you name anything and everything, it is certainly available at the Apoorva?s?!!!!
Location:
I desire that every traveller paying a visit to Chennai, do visit the Apoorva Sangeetha restaurants, situated at Nungambakkam High Road and another newly started branch at the Greams Road. These are actually Fast-Food Restaurants which had been exclusively designed for the travellers & business men and these fast-food restaurants are accompanied by Air-conditioned Halls for those who wish to rest themselves and take their food leisurely.
Ambience & Décor:
Mainly the Apoorva Sangeetha Hotels are Fast-Food Style of restaurants and so although there is nothing much to comment on the ambience, I would swear that it is a very very neat & clean place. The food is generally served by neatly dressed Bearers wearing gloves. Even the plate/glass removing fellows are quite neat and don?t have those soiled looks. The attached Air-conditioned halls are pretty pakka kind of restaurant with good pleasant pictures hung in the walls with yellow sodium lights & expensive tables and chairs. The restaurant is spacious, well lit and very comfortable. The ambience as a whole is really very good and no one would ever hate the looks of the restaurant.
Maitre De? Hotel:
A very noticeable feature about the Apoorvas? is the excellent manners of the Servers. They are very neatly dressed in Uniforms, Caps & Gloves and are very customer-friendly. There are Supervisors constantly on rounds to make sure that the food is served in the proper manner and on time. I think this is one of the basic highlights of the Apoorvas? Restaurants.
South Indian Food Varieties:
As for the South Indian Food Items, some of the delicious varieties available at the Apoorva Sangeetha include, Peas Masal Dosas, Special Butter Dosas, Idlies (different varieties like 14 Idlies, Chettinad Idlies, Chennai Idlies, Marwari?s Idlies etc.), Barotta with Kuruma, Butter Chappathi?s with Chops / Kuruma etc. Of these, my best favourite breakfast item is the Chettinad Idlies, which is served as 3 Idlies in a plate accompanied by superb tasty kuruma, red-chilly onion chutney & coconut chutney. But the price of one plate of this Chettinad Idli is around Rs.18/- which really is quite a cost.
With regard to the South Indian Lunch menu, you have the usual South Indian Thalis? which consists of Steamed Rice, Sambar, Rasam, Koottu, Poriyal, One Tomato & Dhall variety, Papad, Curd, Pickle etc. Also, the Veg. Fried Rice and Veg. Biriyani are the best tasting food available here, the side-dishes for these could be chosen among nearly 25 varieties printed on the menu card, which include, Aloo Gobi, Gobi Manchurian, Veg. Mixed Kuruma, Gobi Chops, Panneer Butter Masala, Aloo Panneer etc.
North-Indian Food and the Chettinad Varieties:
Apart from the routine South-Indian Food Items, a number of North-Indian and Chettinad food items are available at the Apoorva Sangeetha Restaurants. In fact at Chennai although many restaurants serve the Chettinad Varieties, the Apoorvas? has been found to be the best for those food items. All varieties of foods being available throughout the day is yet another appreciative feature of the Hotel. No other hotel in the city could beat the Chettinad Varieties like Appam, Ilandosai Seeyam and Paniyarams served at the Apoorvas?.
Kumbakonam Degree Coffee is one of the VERY BEST item served at the Sangeethas?.
Taste of Food Served:
Generally being a Foodie myself, I don?t appreciate any comestibles unless & until they are really good. I am the best judge of my own cooking too. But I have really admired the same quality of taste being maintained in all the branches of the Apoorva Sangeetha Restaurants right their date of commencing their services in the early 1990s. Even today though the rates are on the higher side, the taste of the food items are excellent and unbeatable..!!!!
Other Branches of Sangeetha Veg. Restaurant :
There are many branches of the Sangeetha Veg. Restaurants at Chennai and their hotels are in the names of, Hotel Suryas?, Apoorva Sangeetha, Sangeetha Veg. Hotels etc. They have their branches at Prime-City locations such as :
? Bazullah Road, T.Nagar, Chennai.
? Nungambakkam High Road Chennai.
? Greams Road, Thousand Light, Chennai.
? Raja Annamalai Puram, Chennai.
? Elliots Beach Road, Besant Nagar Chennai.
? Eldams Road, Alwarpet, Chennai.
? Kamaraj Domestic Terminal, Meenabakkam, Chennai.
? Anna Nagar Chennai.
? Anna International Terminal, Meenabakkam, Chennai.
It is quite a surprising fact that in every branch of the Sangeethas? the food is very tasty and their quality is well-maintained.
Conclusion:
I cannot really count the number of times I have visited the Apoorvas Sangeetha. I think this restaurant would be best suited for a get-together with colleagues / friends. Children may not enjoy here much because there are no toy-items for the kids like the ones available at the Saravanas? Group of Hotel, Chennai. But really adults can enjoy their moments at the Apoorvas? Sangeetha Restaurants.
I do hope you all liked this review. Do pay a visit to my favourite Apoorvas? during your Chennai trip. I would appreciate if every MS member who reads this review, do rate it without fail. Your RRCing keeps me going ?.. on & on & on & on !!!!!!!!
