Short Description – In case u r in a hurry:

YUMMRAJ’s favourite South Indian Restaurant is Murugan Idly Chennai. So, any good South Indian restaurant gets compared to Murugan.

If ur usual lunch time is 1.00 in the afternoon, pls plan to reach 20 – 30 minutes before coz that is the waiting time. There is a fruit vendor in front of the restaurant who does good business while u wait, cut in front of u & served. The empty ground floor of the restaurant also serves as a waiting area. I wonder why that empty place is not used for seating people!!!!

the fabulous dosa

The food is very good – dosas, idly, vadas, uthapams etc & very good filter Coffee – I maintain Murugan is still better. But if we do not compare with Murugan, this place is super good. A must try.

Saravana Bhavan (Outer Circle, Connaught Place, Janpath, Connaught Place, Delhi)

In a nutshell:

The best South Indian Vegetarian restaurant in Delhi

Address & other details: Saravana Bhawan

Cuisine type: Vegetarian

Meal for 2: Rs. 200 onwards

Short Description – In case u r in a hurry:

At the entrance u r sure 2 spot queues all thru - inspite of a second eatery in the same place - ITS THAT GOOD

It’s a pity that there is no Saravana Bhawan in Gurgaon & we have to drive 35 km to eat a lunch or dinner here. If u reach after 1.15 in the afternoon or 7.30 in th evening, u will b standing in a queue on the shaded footpath. They just opened up a second restaurant besides the earlier one recently.

excellent idly

Food is excellent – Soft, fermented feel piping hot idly with some super cool accompaniments. Very nice & fresh medu vada, a huge list of tasty & interesting dosas, utthapams, adai, aviyal etc. In case adai sounds new, pls read the detailed description. The south Indian thali is very good & so r the South Indian dessert options. There r quite a few fresh fruit juices available & of course the filter coffee.
