Kailash Parbat, Harrington Road, Chennai

My memories of eating at Kailash Parbat, Colaba, Bombay took me to this place. And it did not disappoint me (us) one bit. The chaat platter was refreshing, the pani puri crisp and healing. Ragda patties taste good, wish they were served hot.

The bhatura platter was a big hit. 4 varieties of bhatura in a platter served with some awesome chole. We over-ordered the bhatura platters (thanks to one of the waiters misguiding us that the bhaturas are in the size of rotis), and hence need to go again (and again) to try out more things.

There is an express counter for a typical come, have chaat and go experience instead of the sit down dining restaurant upstairs.

My next visit gave an opportunity to try out more things. The Paav Bhaji was too salty, hopefully just an accident on that particular day. The Jaipuri Biryani is really delicious with a wonderful taste and flavour to it. The Awadhi Biryani wasn't too far behind, but could go less on the oil front. In fact, overall the food is quite greasy.
