The Modern Restaurant

What to eat: South Indian Tiffin items like Idly, Pondal, Dosai, Filter coffee.

Location: The Modern Restaurant, Nethaji Road, Madurai

Cost: 12 rupees a piece of idly

Verdict: Madurai is famous for veg as well as non veg eateries. The Modern Restaurant is one of the oldest restaurant in the town. It was visited by several Indian presidents, prime ministers and TN chief ministers. A visit to madurai is not complete without having tiffin in this place. I believe it was started some where around 1930's. I have seen this restaurant's kitchen on a BBC program about sambar making. Pongal and Vadai is the best combo to have in the morning and a filter coffee at the end. We had idly, dosai and chappati (not pongal as it was dinner time). Go for it without any second thoughts.
