Thaligai Restaurant Mylapore - Vegetarian restaurant in Chennai - Chennai, India

We heard great things about Thaligai. But unfortunately we were left wanting. We were a group of 12 with ages ranging from 10 to 75. Initially we were told only thali meals was available along with variety rice. But we could see other tables being served with Dosa and rotis! Upon inquiry, they realized they had more items to offer us and caused us to rethink our entire order. Food - taste was acceptable. No garlic in any of the dishes. However it was on the bland side. They did provide mango curry pickle which spiced up our taste buds but the combination of pickle and sambhar is definitely not right! We ordered Kalyana thali, sapta swara thali, ghee roast, roti, boli, curd vada n ice cream. Service - they did try to set things right from the initial fiasco and giving us a complementary boli and curd vada. Im confused how to rate them because initially we were ready to walk out but then we did finish our food and they were around to help us even when the other tables were full. View - you can try once but don't have your hopes too high before going in. The restaurant was crowded by the time we finished so this may be a place that suits many other taste buds - just not ours!

Recently visited this restaurant after coming across through Social media posts. Reached there by 8PM and got the table immediately. Menu does not contain fancy items but some of the forgotten dishes of our land. Tried some of their specialities and they all tasted good. Overall good food at a reasonable price. Note: Parking is mostly on the road side only.

Went for lunch and ordered thali. There is a Sunday special Kalyana thali, which is absolutely delicious. They serve a variety of foods including, but not limited to poriyal, dal, sambar, ram, curd rice, 2 sweet varieties. A must visit restaurant with great service.

Nice ambience, courteous staff. Parking is available. Lift is also available at the back entrance (to note for senior citizens). The food was nice with homely taste. All items were freshly prepared after ordering. Hence took a longer time to serve. Meanwhile, as it was just opposite AVM rajeswari mandapam and luckily a wedding reception was going on which was easily visible from the table we were seated, we could see the big monitor display outside the wedding hall. We tried their diamond masala dosa, ghee dosa, poori masala and vazhapoo vadais.

Carrying forward the legacy of the legendary 'Pattappa' is Thaligai. For the uninitiated, he is the celebrated ceremonial chef of erstwhile Tambrahm circles of Chennai. True to it's calling, the dine is decent with no frills - simple and modest. The lunch - elai sappadu, is sumptuous. What's more interesting is their evening menu - mor kali, rasavadai, sevai with morkuzhambu, vazhapoo vadai, adai avvial and many more.The badam halwa is a must try and their filter kaapi is heavenly, thanks to a liberal mix of chicory. A variety of vaththals, vadaams, podis, pickles, sweets and snacks are available off the shelf and are priced a tad bit high. Service is mostly indifferent and can be refined. If authentic South Indian Tambrahm food is your craving, this is the place to be.

This is my first visit to Thaligai restaurant. Lovely ambience. Courteous staff. Quick service. Simple and tasty menu. We ordered the following items from the menu. Idly Sambar vada Poori Rava dosa Mysore bonda Kambu dosai Lemon tea Their menu is pretty simple and clear. However few items weren't available like thayir vada. I will try next time.

Good was good. However not extraordinary. I feel that the Kalyana Thaligai is a bit overpriced. Service was extremely good. Will go back to try other items

The food wasn't good enough to either be worthy of the price or the cuisine (south indian saapad.. we have had better and tastier saapad elsewhere) We were served with cold sambar, the podi tasted sweet, chips were stale, order of items was not correct.. received welcome drink and sweet after finishing half saapad and of all.. the service was late and pathetic.
