Kannappa Thattu Idly — Restaurant in Zone 8 Anna Nagar

I consider this shop is the one which started the trend of "Thattu idly" in Chennai and it has maintained it's taste and charm for all these years.

We recently went there on a weekend. We ordered Thattu idly, Mexican corn bread Dosa and masala Vadai.

As always, idlies were served with coconut chutney, tomato chutney and sambar. All of these tasted fresh even around 9 pm on a weekend. The sambar and idly were really hot. I kind of felt the flavor of ghee was lesser compared to last time. All in all it was good but I remember having better idly at their shop.

The dosa was first cooked with the filling. It was nicely wrapped and was sandwiched between bread. The sandwich was then toasted on the pan and served with mayonnaise. We had high expectations but were kind of disappointed by it. The flavors were not as expected and the cheese and stuffing had kind of made the dish a bit messy.

The service as usual was un organised and hence it felt we had to wait forever to get our food.

It's very congested, and it's almost impossible to find a place to stay and eat indoors. So be prepared to stand out doors on the road whole consuming the food.

This road has quite few other options around this place. Given the above conditions, i suggest to try the other options and maybe avoid the hassle. And I would not recommend going to this...

Located on the Ormes road a few yards from paramount and also right opposite to the street of fusilli reasons...With some limited road side parking only...

The outlet is very small with a small kitchen on one side which has a open counter in dining area...The dining area has 2 tables to stand and eat and also has to long tables to seat people... A very average kind of a ambiance...The service was really quick in preparation and delivering items...

Ordered a ghee podi dosai, Thattu Idli and vadai..The ghee podi idli was decent in taste with overload of ghee and average amount of decent podi... The thattu idli was heavenly in taste with ghee and podi on top... Such a soft and fluffy idli it was... Awesome in taste... The Vadai was pure disaster that i felt i could have definitely avoided it... The Sambar and chutney served along with it were really good in taste too...

Pricing was slightly om the higher side for the overall...

One of the "Favorite" South Indian food Destination in Chennai. Kannapa fast food, or well known by The Vaishnava thattu Idly shop, kilpauk is famous for their signature Thattu Idly and different varieties of dosa.

What to try, 1.Thattu Idly Mysore Masala Dosa Corn n Cheese Dosa ( only if you like corn and cheese combo)

What not to try, Chocolate dosa - I hate the idea of chocolate over dosa. Sandwich dosa( African Dosa ) - Dosa in between breads ? Lol No. Try it if you're looking to try something different.
