We again visited on sep 11 around 6pm. We ordered Puri and we were told no Puri for evening tiffin. This hotel is big but lacks the capability to handle customer.
---±-+ We again went on Aug 09. This time for lunch. We ordered a mini meals and a north indian meal.
Mini meals was served in 5 minutes and north indian after 20 min. Waiter could have warned me it takes time.
Both plates were served with same Kesari for deserts. This was not the right move. Thr charges for North India thali was way above and I was expecting different sweets
First chef seriously needs training how to make good rava Kesari.. take him to Sangeetha opposite.
Second give less quantity but tasty food. dal was very raw tasting, gravy average and same with pulav.
I called manager and personally told him to reduce quantity and increase taste..
Every dish was large on quantity and taste was I would rate 5/10 for some item .. rava kesari I would rate 3/10.
Ask the chef's to watch how chef venkatesh bhat makes rava kesari in YouTube..
We left the place not satisfied with lunch ..may be I will come again for a South Indian thalli.
Coffee needs improvement Sambar rice quantity is more. Roti in thali was big Reduce wait time for same table orders. Soup taste was not good because of bread crumbs not made well.
Request to management - reduce quantity and increase taste.
----++----+++++++++++ We went again today June 12 for a breakfast.. Today experience was better.. mini idli was damn good. Breakfast combo is must try...
Coffee at 9 am was not good.. they can improve
--_--------+++++++++++++++
We went today at 4.55pm (June1,2022). we entered and saw one supervisor talking to 2 lady staffs. He didn't bother to inform that there is no food ready..
What kind of hotel you guys are running ?
It's bang on highway and no single item , not even Bhajji or Bonda. Don't know why you invested so much money and didn't bother to appoint a chef who is active to customer needs.
If you can't provide tiffin at 5pm , it's shame..
We went all the way , washed our hands and when we went to sit in a table then came a waiter only to inform chutney is getting ready..
We live in guduvanchery and we were planning to visit this hotel ever since you guys put a board.. but today was just plain I'll preparedness of your hotel.
We left the place hungry and went to Sangeetha and they never failed to disappoint
I don't think I would come back again.. it is too much for your chefs to prepare a Bowl of chutney and offer dosa to your Hungry customer???
Believe me when I went to Sangeetha, their chutney was kept in fridge but when I informed it is cold they heated it and served us hot.. is it too much for your hotel to make something and keep it in fridge instead of telling customers no food ???? .that too at 5 pm..
I am surprised you have a good place , spent atleast 1 crore for setting this up and you guys have a terrible customer experience..
Hope my review makes things...

As someone who rarely gives a 5-star rating to any restaurant, I usually notice at least a few things that leave me less than fully satisfied. But Thiruvasantham truly surprised me—in the best way. From the moment I entered until I finished my lunch, everything was spot on.
🌟 What Impressed Me the Most
✅ Flawless Service & Cleanliness
The service was prompt, polite, and professional. Even though it was a busy time, the waiting time for food was minimal, and everything was served fresh and hot.
What truly stood out was their attention to cleanliness and hygiene. The dining area was spotless, the floor was clean, and even the table settings felt well-maintained.
🍱 Thali Meals – A Pure Delight
I tried the vegetarian thali meals, and honestly, each dish was excellent in taste.
From the flavorful sambar and rasam to the perfectly cooked vegetables and chutneys, every component was well-prepared and balanced. The meal felt homely yet rich, with just the right spice levels and authentic South Indian flavor.
🚻 Hygiene Facilities
Another pleasant surprise was the well-maintained washrooms—often an overlooked detail in restaurants.
There’s a separate area for guests to freshen up or use the toilet, and the space is kept clean, hygienic, and stocked—something I truly appreciated.
🚗 Parking & Accessibility
The restaurant provides plenty of parking space, making it convenient for both families and groups arriving by car or bike.
You don’t have to stress about parking even during rush hours—a big plus, especially for travelers.
💸 Pricing & Value
Considering the quality, taste, quantity, and service, the pricing is absolutely affordable and justified.
You get more than your money’s worth here—especially with the thali meals.
📝 Final Thoughts
Thiruvasantham has truly earned my respect. In a world where most places either compromise on quality, service, or cleanliness—this restaurant delivers on all fronts.
I rarely leave a restaurant without a few complaints, but this one gave me no reason to deduct even half a star.
