Apoorva's Novelty — Restaurant in Zone 8 Anna Nagar

Novelty was so much popular in Sowcarpet. Then one location in Mylapore, both these were shutdown and the latest one is bloomed in Shenoy Nagar. Know for their tasty chaat and North Indian dishes especially variety in Jain preparation. It has a very steady and strong support. It was a special occasion, bday of my niece and brother, we assembled here. Knowing about the crowd here, we came in early evening at 6.45 pm.( For dinner) We're quickly seated in by a cheerful pretty girl ( a pleasant surprise). Things are looking good! Within few minutes I started feeling hot, as the high ceiling was the culprit! My niece had been here earlier so started recommending the favourites. I ordered a split Tomato soup, cheese balls, palak roll. Chilly paneer, Pav bhaji, pani poori starters. Soup was served hot with extra bowl of croutons! The other starters were nice and hot. The hyped up Pav Bhaji was a damp squid! The Pav is frugal in size, and the Bhaji seemed to be on a slimming diet! Just a dash of butter floating around. For the price it should be bit more convincing. Kaju masala curry, rotis, garlic naan and Dum Aloo were brought in next. The gravies were well done. The breads as well. The mint chutney was thick and tasty. Halfway through I felt my dress slightly drenched! Yes the hall became full and the AC betrayed. I kept looking at the high ceiling and wondered the interior designers intention. There's a enclosed dining room too with a lower ceiling, for some party bookings. We quickly finished dinner with some coffee and iced tea ( ice tea seems to be instant mix). The place was getting very crowded with lots people waiting outside. Overall, I felt bit uncomfortable here, I know about Chennai heat, but this was dinner. Food was served hot but really Pav bhaji nothing tingling about it. And yes the Paani poori wasn't worth writing about! Pani was nice, poori was not crispy! No crunch! Chennai crowds can be very...
