Chidambaram's New Madras Hotel - South Indian restaurant in New Delhi - South East, India

After years of wanting to visit here, we finally made it on a rainy morning. Ordered a mix snacks thali, which had an uttapam, masala idli, vada, sambhar, rasam, and halwa. Everything on the plate was super delicious, the uttapam being the star. Pricing is reasonable, and service is super quick. I think it is one of the best South Indian food experiences in Delhi.

Has the old world charm . It seems to have stopped back in the 90s and has stayed that way ever since. They have a nice collection of intriguing wall clocks. A glass of piping hot rasam is the very welcoming drink one gets at this restaurant! A great way to start a meal. Had the South Indian lunch thali. Unlimited accompaniments are served as part of this meal. The thali is average. It lacks the punchy South Indian flavours. The papad is nice. So is the chaach. Had South Indian meal platter 1, where the dosa and uttapam are nice. But the idli needs work. The beetroot chatni is interesting. Overall decent place. Can eat here once.

Really love this place. Almost 30 yr old. Serves authentic South Indian. Small place but always crowded because of its rich taste. They serve complimentary rasam when you reach and unlimited sambhar and chutneys.

Best South Indian food in town. Have been visiting this place regularly. Must try Thattu idli, Vada, kesari and Filter Coffee.

DO NOT MISS the Chef's Special Rava Dosa. It comes with a papadam, dahi chaat, rasam and buttermilk. We also tried the Masala Dosa. For the first time, every little detail was perfect including the chutnis. Will surely visit much more often. Great taste!!! The service was also quick.

The place exudes an old-world charm, seemingly frozen in the ambiance of the 90s. Its collection of captivating wall clocks adds to the intrigue. The dosa and uttapam were delightful, and the unique beetroot chutney stood out. All in all, it offers a pleasant experience

Was here on Friday afternoon. Was busy and had to wait for 10 mins before we could get a table. Small space but very popular. Welcome drink Rasam was great. Good variety of chutneys. Nasal dosa was great. Special Thali was ok and found too many dishes in the plate so recommended to share the plate. Pongal was great.

Cosy, homely, warm and chit-chatty place. One may enjoy their time smoothly but it stays a little crowded mostly as well. For this, I must compliment the staff for patiently and softly managing the crowd within (but one should expect waiting, specially at the weekends) This restaurant is in Khanna market and can be easily located by just asking the locals or by just strolling in the market (like us) or via Google Maps. Nothing better than an affordable place with good food and comfortable seating. I liked the vibe of the place, very Indian. Nothing fancy or flashy but just a place to gather, relax and have a good chat with your friends. We ordered from the "Try Our Best" section in the menu. Before we got served with the order, we received 4 complimentary dishes - coconut chutney, beetroot chutney, mint chutney and rasam. All of them were delicious. Further with the order, we received sambhar as well. One can ask for refills as well. The staff warmly provides it. * One Kurkure Idly, One 3 in 1 Dosa and 2 Filter Coffees * The whole order tasted great. We were curious about the 3 in 1 Dosa and were expecting one dosa but we got 3 dosas in a plate with 3 different fillings (masala aloo, masala paneer and the third was some garlic chutney spread all inside the dosa). Amazing. It was very fulfilling and flavorful. Even the kurkure Idly, the small pieces of Idly were crispy, and a little spicy. All of it was appetizing. The staff is very thoughtful. Considering the fact that the coffee might get cold while we finish the meals, they served the coffees to us on a little delay and with permission. Had the filter coffee at the end and kept that warm-homely flavour for a while. While paying the bill, we impromptuly decided to have a paan. Metha paan, it was. For me, the sweetness was accurate. Apart from this, we had our own lunches (from home) which we had after having our order - faced no complaints from the staff. Our visit was worth it. Would highly recommend a visit! (Will visit soon ^~^)
