‘Parathas @ Adyar” would have been a more apt name for this little place serving, parathas, chaats, other north Indian dishes and the omnipresent Chinese.
They have a good variety of parathas like aloo, mooli, gobi, methi, etc. Gobi paratha is quite unusual, with shredded fried cauliflower (serves the purpose for gobi Manchurian as well) stuffed in the paratha. Parathas are serves with dal, sabji, pickle and curd, each one simple and tasty.
The chaats were quite disappointing with the ingredients not being too fresh and an overdose of the sweet chutney. It was quite like the chaats available in all south Indian joints, not what is expected out of some north Indians running the place.
The ambience is no-nonsense, come, eat, go types.
Overall, a good place to go dig into some good parathas.
Location: Off MG Road, Adyar,Chennai.
I d like to add about the Chinese food there, the other day I went and he was making a bombastick dish where too much smoke came in the kitchen and all the chef's were coughing ... they decided to open doors and all the customers also started coughing :) ... I agree that Chat's are not great but the Paratha's are out of the world.

ReplyDeleteSuggested next outing for you: Bombay Halwa house at PH road near to Sangam Cinemas on the oppposite side of the road. Meanwhile, I will update Mr. VeeCee Purasawalkam that a la-Anton Ego is on the way to prey on his favourite restaurant.
