Charvan Thattu Idly — Restaurant in Tamil Nadu

If you love Thattu Idli, this is the place for you. Priced at INR 30, the thattu idlies here are amazing. The portion size is quite good, the idli is soft and moist and the podi on the top is just the right amount of spice, you can taste it subtly but it isn’t over the top heat, and lastly it is drizzled with ghee. Seriously a must try. Apart from the thattu idli here, the dosas are pretty good too. Some worth mentioning are open masala dosa, baby corn dosa and paneer dosa. We also had the sambar Vada and Mexican dosa but they aren’t all that fantastic. There are only few chairs here and you will be expected to stand and eat. It’s a self service joint and you will be required to clear the plates after eating as well. They cater during the evening times only and not in the mornings. You can expect a rush if you visit after 7.30 so plan your schedule...

Wasn't really hungry, but thought would give it a try and it was like Holy Manna! The perfect crispy dosa with the just right melted cheese inside it. And their chutneys and sambar was delicious too!

They have like 20 different varieties of dosa and plus weekly specials. Have tried half of them and some of the weekly specials! This place is amazing! Should be made Chennai's cultural site!

God bless the people here for making such amazing food. Chuck Sarvana Bhavan and Murugan Idly. Try...

One of the busiest places in Mylapore, I have witnessed especially in the mornings and evenings. The quality and taste of the food items here is commendable which is why people throng this place. Their menu has idlis including thattu idli, vadas and many varieties of dosas (with hot sambar, coconut and kara chutney) and sandwiches which are decently priced. There are daily special and weekly special dosas too. This place can never go unnoticed as it's on the Royapettah high road diagonal to...
