“In Chennai, food isn’t just eaten — it’s experienced.”
Chennai, my home city, is a
wonderland for food lovers. Every street corner tempts you with aromas of ghee,
sambhar, and freshly ground chutneys. Though I could never list all my
favourite eating joints — there are simply too many — a few legendary names instantly
come to mind.
From the iconic Saravana Bhavan
and Sangeetha to the ever-dependable A2B, Murugan Idli Shop, and Vasantha
Bhavan, these places define the soul of vegetarian dining in Chennai. Hot Chips
is every snack lover’s delight, while Grand Sweets and Krishna Sweets offer
perfect sweet endings to any meal.
For those who love variety, Cream
Centre, Annalakshmi, Eden, Woodlands, Nithya Amrutham, Sri Mithai, Patiala
House, and Matsya serve everything from traditional South Indian meals to North
Indian and continental favourites.
And then, there’s Sanjeevanam — a
gem of a restaurant that serves Ayurvedic, health-conscious food prepared in
authentic Kerala-style cooking. Here, every meal is a mindful experience —
balanced, nourishing, and beautifully presented on banana leaves. Sanjeevanam
reminds you that food can be medicine too, without ever compromising on taste.
Each of these places reflects the
city’s diversity and warmth. As a lifelong vegetarian, I’ve explored them all
with joy and gratitude. Whether it’s a simple breakfast of idlis or a festive
thali, Chennai never fails to serve love on a plate.
