Sree Madapalli

What to eat: Srirangam style Vegetarian Cuisine

Where: Sree Madapalli, South Chittirai St, Srirangam

Location:
 


Verdict: Planned for a Srirangam trip for a several years. Finally it started today with my first eating experience at Sree Madapalli which serves one of the best pure veg food. Srirangam is a foodies haven especially for herbivores.

Got a Rava dosai for the price (40rs) that will get you just a plain dosa in places like Chennai. It was a thin crepe with crispy edges, soft inner with good amount of cilantro, curry leaves and peppercorns. Accompanied Sambar was thick with not much irritants and also got fresh coconut and a little spicy tomato chutney...all of them were perfectly paired with the crepe.

A must visit eatery for value for money iyengar style meal.

Murali Coffee Shop

What to drink: Only Filter Coffee

Where: Murali coffee shop, Near Rajagopuram, Srirangam

Google Maps:
 


Verdict: If you're a filter coffee lover like me, then you should never miss the towns of Kumbakonam and Srirangam where you get flavoursome filter coffee in dabara set.

Murali coffee stall (has no name board) is one such place located just near to the rajagopuram. Had an extremely pleasurable cuppa for 15 bucks. Don't miss if you ever hit this tiny island.

Sukkubhai Biryani

What to eat: Chicken/Mutton/Beef Briyani

Where: Sukkubhai Briyani, Alandur, Chennai

Location:
 

Verdict: Thanks to my friends for getting packs of flavorful chicken briyani (100rs), mutton briyani(160rs) and chicken chukka (70rs) from one of the best briyani makers of Chennai. Chicken chukka was spicy tawa-fried and large in quantity. Never had such an aromatic mutton briyani earlier. Even the onion raita was mouth-watering thou curd was not added much.

Sukkubhai is most famous for beef, but they also serve chicken and mutton briyani which is not known to many. They have now opened a new branch and also extending it as restaurant. But even today they use wood fire for cooking which enhances the flavor. Only problem I see here is the briyani was bit oily. Otherwise it was a feast indeed.
