Kakada Ramprasad inside Phoenix Marketcity, Velachery, is a paradise for lovers of authentic North Indian street food. Known for its traditional flavors and ghee-rich preparations, the outlet offers a delectable menu that truly stands out.
I tried the Raj Kachori, Aloo Tikki Chaat, Dahi Papdi Chaat, and their signature Jalebi, freshly fried in ghee. Each dish was a flavor-packed delight. The Raj Kachori had a perfect balance of crunch, tanginess, and spice, while the Aloo Tikki Chaat was rich and comforting, with just the right blend of chutneys. The Dahi Papdi Chaat was refreshing, with creamy curd and crisp papdi adding texture. The star of the meal was the Jalebi—crisp, golden, and dripping with sweetness, a true indulgence.
The place is often crowded, which speaks volumes about its popularity, and the vibrant atmosphere adds to the charm. Service is efficient despite the rush, and the quality of the food is unmatched.
Overall, Kakada Ramprasad is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic chaat and sweets in Chennai. The delicious flavors and rich preparations make it a memorable...

In those years you had to go to the area around Parry's corner, Sowcarpet NSC Bose road to taste authentic North Indian food as those areas were populated with people from various parts of India as it is situated near the Central Railway Station. The Kakada shop was opened in 1956 ( as per info) and it has steadfastly grown into a recognised name. They're from Rajasthan ( as informed) and the taste of the dishes also reflects that. They have a variety of sweets including ghewar which is a traditional rajasthani sweet. I only had their Pani puri with 3 different flavours. I just couldn't stop eyeing for more. They have a live jalebi counter also. They have 2 branches - Mint street and Ormes Road and also a small kiosk in Pheonix Market City, Velachery. You can also order through Swiggy. They also undertake catering. The price is good and so is the taste. Overall an enjoyable moments of original Rajasthani flavours (The photos includes their original shop front...

Vegetarian Grilled Cheese Sandwich: This sandwich was absolutely amazing—definitely a must-try! It had the perfect balance of flavors, and the chutneys served alongside were just as delightful, elevating the entire snack experience.
Bhel Puri: The bhel puri was a standout as well, refreshing and bursting with flavors. Every bite was satisfying and left me wanting more.
Pricing: Somewhat expensive. But given that this was located on a Mall, it's acceptable.
Service: The service, however, was just okay. It felt borderline rude at times, which was a bit disappointing.
Ambience: The ambience is decent, considering it’s located in a mall, but the seating is quite limited, so you might need to wait for a spot during busy hours.
Kadada Ramprasad is a great spot for tasty vegetarian snacks, though the service could definitely use some...
