We used to go there to munch a couple of vada or bajji or pattanam pakoda or appam or bonda ( I don't remember all the names ) along with some coffee just by standing on the street. You can also go in for tiffin or a south indian meal. Last evening I had a walk to that place just for a coffee. Madurai is a best town for a food walk. You can roam around and taste various items which you may not have seen in your life earlier.
