We were excited to visit Arambam as they were serving millet-based food and decided to visit for breakfast. We ordered the Breakfast Combo, but to our surprise, we found a hair in the chutney. We politely pointed it out to the waiter, who acknowledged it and offered to replace it—without even an apology.

We then waited for the replacement, and the waiter later informed them they are making fresh Dosa. While we appreciated the effort, the experience didn’t improve.

We received the Dosa, Pongal, and Vada, but the Idli never arrived. After waiting for about 15 minutes, we lost patience and started eating the rest of the meal. Even after finishing our food, we waited another 10 minutes for the Idli to arrive. By then, we were done, including the Sweet.

Last few times, it’s only one chutney and sambar with no veggies. Taste has also gone bland. Earlier it used to be wow! Earlier they would serve sugar differently with tea which I really liked. Because I like less-sugary tea. Now they serve already sweetened tea. We are genuine well wishes of Arambam and would definitely love to have our old Arambam back! Nevertheless, we would continue going there once in 2 months or so. Because it’s homey and comfortable. Really want to see it gain its...
