AVK Home Meals & Fish Fry Centre

What to eat: Meals with Fish Gravy and Fish Fry

Where: AVK Home Meals and Fish Fry Center, LV Prasad Road, Vadapalani, Chennai

Location:

Verdict: Had to meet few friends in Chinmaya Nagar. And then we all had decided to try the famous "veettu saapadu" (means home meal) and fish fry in Vadapalani. AVK Home meals center is a tiny eatery on the street next to Prasad Studio. They had ayilai and king fish fry for today. We opted to meals(60₹) with vanchiram (king fish) fry (190₹).

Meals was regular with limited rice, sambar, rasam, butter milk, veg poriyal, koothu, apalam and pickle. But who need sambar when you get the tasty fish gravy. Fish fry was too big...was unable to finish it. I think 1 fish fry for 2 persons is more enough. My friend got an extra appalam and asked for its cost, but they gave it for free. Rare to see such generous people in food industry in Chennai.

Fish gravy was yummy....cooked along with kudampuli (Cambodgia). Kudampuli is a natural anti-oxident used mostly for cooking seafood in kerala, good for weight loss, digestion and to treat ulcer, athrithis and uterine diseases.

They also gave some masala along with the fish fry. Mixed the masala along with rice to end up with a mouth watering combination. Washed down with a cup of butter milk. Ambience is not great, just a tiny place good enough for lunch with friends. Most of the people were getting parcels for their family. If you hit vadapalani during lunch time, don't miss the spicy fish meal.
