Murugan Idli Shop

Anuska Mahalik 20 months ago

One of the best south Indian restaurants in Chennai. I was glad to have the breakfast there. I had dosa, vada and podi idli. Podi idli i had it for the first time and tastes amazing. Their service was great and quick. Apart from sambar and chutney they also serve 3 more chutneys and tastes heavenly. They also sell the podi powder separately.

The Sambar and onion rava taste is average.
Must try- ghee roast,mango jigarthanda and coconut chutney. Add- there is no specific parking you need to find any space in near street's.

This place always flows with crowd and it is pretty much due to their fame for so many years. On any day, there would be some waiting time to get into our seats.

Anything with their hot ghee always stands out; be it their Ghee podi idli or Ghee podi dosai/Uthappam. The layer of ghee and podi on the idly would be as much as the size of the idly, TOO GOOD!!

The podi on the dosa is similar to little droplets of rain on sand, soft, buttery and spicy with the chutneys. A little bit of onion on top of these makes it WHATTAWOW, Onion uthappam.

Chettinad dosai & Mysore dosai were the other tryouts. While the masala and the spices were high on the former, it definitely had a kick from the authentic southern spices. Mysore dosa had good fillings.

Hot & soft Medu vadai was great when dipped in sambar; some prefer to soak it but that crunchy texture matters a lot for a vada

Sweet pongal & Kuzhi paniyaram - OH WOW, that pongal flows like a river from the ghee with so sweet stuff all around, toasted cashews & raisins if you're lucky.
Paniyaaram can be a better companion for your beverage than any other biscuits.

Limited seating with lightning fast service. Parking can always be a problem with no space on the main road. One of the most economical dine-in eatery in the heart of the city.
