Yet
another
place
in
Delhi
where
you
can
savour
some
authentic
south
Indian
food.
I
have
been
to
this
restaurant,
located
in
the
upmarket
Green
Park,
south
Delhi,
several
times
earlier
too.
I
like
the
food
and
it's
preparations.
AMBIENCE:
First
impression
is
very
important
and
this
restaurant
doesn't
score
much.
It
has
a
simple
outlook
that
doesn't
give
you
any
impression
of
being
in
a
south
Indian
outlet.
There
is
no
decor
as
such
and
no
south
Indian
music
playing.
Yes,
get
to
shelves
filled
with
south
Indian
namkeen
packets
and
pickle
🥒
🍋
bottles.
There
are
south
Indian
sweets
on
display
and
sale
alongside
north
Indian
counterparts.
FOOD
&
PRICES:
When
you
do
not
get
a
hitting
ambience
you
look
for
some
good
food
that
satisfies
your
taste
buds
as
well
as
fills
the
tummy
too.
Talking
of
taste
the
Adyar
Bhavan
scores
well..
in
fact,
four
stars.
When
it
comes
to
quantity
it
scores
two
points
only.
We
had
mix
veg
Uttappam.
We
got
two
small
size
pieces
along
with
sambar,
coconut
chutney
and
gun
powder
chutney.
It
was
soft
by
could
not
fill
the
stomach
of
my
better
half
who
already
has
an
appetite
that
matches
a
small
kid.
Let
us
talk
if
south
Indian
fixed
menu
Thali.
It
comes
with
a
wide
variety
of
South
Indian
vegetables,
a
choice
of
either
two
puris
or
two
chapatis,
a
bowl
of
rice
🍚
and
a
papad.
The
restaurant
seems
shy
of
giving
good
servings
and
that
is
why,
perhaps,
puts
up
small
steel
katoris
(bowls)
for
the
vegetables.
Since
it
is
fixed
menu
food
you
cannot
expect
refilling
and
therefore
have
to
manage
puris
and
rice
with
all
the
stuff
that
you
have
in
front
of
you.
This
is
the
difference
between
Karnataka
Sangh
outlet
in
R
K
Puram
and
Adyar.
In
Karnataka
Sangh
you
are
served
vegetables
in
large
katoris
that
fills
the
stomach
and
allows
you
to
have
a
taste
to
your
fill.
The
dosa,
most
common
food
item
on
demand,
is
crispy
and
has
a
tasty
potato
🥔
filling.
NORTH
INDIAN
FOOD:
The
restaurant
also
offers
all
north
Indian
food
stuff
and
Chinese
food
to
cater
to
the
needs
of
the
complete
family.
I
have
seen
lots
of
children
opting
for
regular
chowmein
and
Manchurian.
You
also
get
all
varieties
of
chaat
minus
aloo
tikki.
Since
the
servings
are
small
or
do
not
fill
your
stomach
well,
if
have
a
good
appetite
or
if
you
are
very
hungry,
you
cannot
do
away
with
single
dish.
You
have
to
order
more
and
that
inflates
the
bill.
The
prices
match
any
other
restaurant
but
it
is
quantity
that
makes
the
whole
difference.
ONLY
VEGETARIAN:
Adyar
Bhavan
serves
on
vegetarian
food.
So
don't
expect
those
non
veg
dishes
with
Chinese
food
etc.
DISLIKE:
The
restaurant
serves
food
on
yellow
colour
plastic
plates
which
I
didn't
like
at
all.
Another
thing
I
disliked
was
reluctance
in
giving
second
serve
of
sambar
or
coconut
🥥
chutney.
We
asked
for
sambar
and
it
took
more
time
than
expected
to
reach
the
table.
Then
we
had
to
ask
for
chutney
again.
Otherwise,
what
happens
in
other
restaurants
is
just
the
opposite--
the
waiter
keeps
an
eye
on
you
and
serves
the
sambar/
chutney
much
before
you
could
ask
for
it.
A
good
place
to
taste
south
Indian
food
at
the
end.
Good
and
safe
place
to
sit
with
your
family
in
a
sober
atmosphere.
