Thanjavur Mess — Restaurant in Tamil Nadu

After trying out Kasi vinayaga mess in triplicane wanted to try Thanjavur mess in West Mambalam. Sunday afternoon. Less patrons and more takeaways. A meal costs ₹80/- without curd. A very simple affair. Typical mess food and mess ambience. Served on banana leaf.

Today the menu was kadamba sambar, potato podimas and chowchow kootu. Served along with vattalkozambhu, pepper rasam and buttermilk. Unlimited rice and servings. Rasam was better than sambar. Kozhambhu was a let down. The porial and kootu was good. No payasam.

These eateries should learn the basics of hygiene while handling food. Water for cooking should be potable especially during rains.

A very basic food experience.Might not worth the trouble of traveling and searching this place out. Might be worth a visit if you happen to be in the neighborhood.

Thanjavur Mess – A Must-Try Spot for Authentic South Indian Food

Thanjavur Mess is one of the best places to dine in if you’re craving authentic South Indian dishes. The ghee dosa here is a must-try, perfectly crisp, rich in flavor, and served with a well-balanced combination of sambar and chutneys. You can truly taste the freshness of the batter in every bite, giving you that comforting, homely feel.

But it’s not just the dosa , every main dish is impressive. Their parotta, poori, and kichdi are all cooked to perfection, and each bite bursts with flavor.

What makes it even better is that it’s very budget-friendly. You get great quality food at a very reasonable price, making it an ideal spot for everyday meals. I would definitely recommend visiting this place if you want a satisfying South Indian meal without burning...

WORST CUSTOMER TREATMENT. The STAFF MANHANDLED ME. They with catch you by the collar & Rough you up. But, the owner sitting there won't move a finger. NO CLEANLINESS - BOTH THE PLACE AND THE WAITERS ARE FILTHY. YOU SHOULD AVOID SUCH PLACES TO EAT.

THE WAITERS USE FILTHY LANGUAGE TO CUSTOMERS AND THE OWNER JUST KEEPS WATCHING. WHEN I WAS TAKING MY LUNCH I ASKED HIM FOR A SPECIFIC ITEM (VATHTHA KOZHAMBU) THIS GUY WAS ON THE PHONE AND POURED SOME THING ON MY PLATTER. WHEN I ASKED HIM 'WHAT WAS IT? & WAS HE TALKING ON THE PHONE OR REPLYING ME?' He got infuriated and started puking in filthy tongue. At last he started punching me!!! AVOID...
