Mylai Karpagambal Mess - South Indian restaurant in Chennai - Chennai, India

Easily identifiable place just near Car( teer mutttti). Just opposite to RASI Sillks. No car parking. Govt paid parking only. At present Rs40 for 2 hours. Tiffin is always available here. Excellent food. But very costly. One poli is costing Rs120/- Adai aviyal and poli - don't miss. Mini lunch ie. Mixed rice and all Disa, etc items are available. Air-conditioned room is inside. Good service. Wash area is OK. Could be better. Small kids cannot wash their hands. Toilet is not at all good. Bad. Unless otherwise emergency, Pl don't try to use.

Gr8 food but pricey compared to other places for breakfast. Average of 100/- per item. Tastes way better though.

Very close to the Kabaleeshwar temple and One of the finest authentic eateries in town. Podi dosa or any dosa with sambar is a must try. Idiyappam and Kurma was really good so as the badam halwa. Don't ever miss the coffee. Price wise it's expensive, it was really hot and fan wasn't sufficient to cool us down. If you opt for AC option you have to pay 20rs extra on all items, menu is available in their website. Try it once or couple more times for an excellent taste but do not experiment.

Neat and clean ambience. Must try tiffin items and coffee but bit costly. We had 2 sets of poori, standard peas was included in their masal. Parking for two wheelers and cars on road only. Service was quick and polite. Its near the kabaleshwarar temple. They do a good initiative by placing a bowl of water and a tub of pedigree for street dogs at their entrance.

Iconic place to eat. "Karpagambal mess since 1953", 70 years... unbelievable. Old traditional building, this place looks like a temple, and the food served is as tasty as prasadam. Tried their hot, bulky, medu vada. Crispy outside and totally soft inside. Next was 'Soji appam', a unique sweet. It is similar to the Poli/ BOLI but with kesari stuffing. The podi dosa was ultimate. And all this ended well with a traditional style Mundhiri cake (cashew sweet). This restaurant is located relatively on a broader road compared to other narrow streets of Mylapore. Car parking is available on the side of the entire street.

Good vegetarian hotel with traditional way of preparation. Expensive in price. Dish tastes are excellent. Four persons table only available

Very old mess. I have been vining this place for the past 20 years now whenever I am in Chennai. This place never disappoints. Very limited veg menu. Go in if you like authentic South Indian dishes. Nothing fancy or the ambience. Just visit this place for the food taste and the experience.

The food is decent, but not great as it is being touted. The prices are exorbitant and there is no price listed in the menu. And based on the look of the hotel if you had mentally decided on a appropriate price, you are in for a surprise. A normal single Kal dosa is 120 Rs. And there is nothing special about it. A single filter coffee is 80 Rs. The only that tasted good was the Nei and podi. That was 50 Rs. tldr; Exorbitant price for mid food.
