  • 5/5 Supreeta S. 2 years ago on Google
    The cuisine is south Indian and the food taste is very good. It may take some time from which you order and wait until you get it We will get a homely food with their taste. We had their full meals for lunch, which was so good and the meals is unlimited. One drawback with meals is they should provide some sweet. We tried their paniyaram and palm Jaggery milk. Both where so good and it was served hot. I would give 5/5 rating for these two. Overall a good experience. Do try it out.

    A hidden gem and a treat for all south indians, this is a must visit to have a great indulging experience. Taste and quality is exceptional with reasonable cost. One can get a mouth watering, special dishes which one cannot find nearby. This is a small area and very hard to find a seat during the peak time, a tip would be to visit non peak hours for a good dining experience. And service is another plus. People are dedicated and timely served, Overall one of the best places for authentic South Indian foods, must visit when nearby. Car parking is hard to find but valet parking is available.

    Being a foreigner, when I tried south food here, I felt like I have never tried good south food so far. If you are near IIT Madras, a must go place specially for dinner.

    Andhikkadai in Chennai offers an authentic South Indian culinary experience. The menu likely features a variety of dosas, idlis, vadas, and traditional South Indian curries. The flavors are expected to be rich, Service is good. hygiene standard should be improved . For a true taste of South Indian cuisine, Andhikkadai seems like a promising spot for food enthusiasts in Chennai.

    When you enter a festival; you expect pomp, festivity, food and crowd.. you can relish and soak all, if you enter Andhikkadai, Velachery. My first hand experience of fantabulous food on display. So much to offer, and plenty to choose from. We tried almost everything, but still, they have so much to offer. 😍. Yes, few need tuning and refining- Puliothri, super oily and Veechu parotta, could have been better, Paneer dosa is avoidable. But, the shop bowled us over with Kuzhi paniaaram, Aapam, Idiyappam, parotta, Dosai, Elaneer payasam, Rose milk. One of must try eateries in Chennai. Not to forget, super super service and staff are wonderfully courteous. ❤️

    This place serves the best breakfast in south Chennai, The coconut chutney which they serve is the best that I eat. The podi dosa has a separate fan base here, the podi which they provide is the best. Breakfast heaven and a treat for vegetarians✌🏼.

    > A good restaurant in Velachery. > Ordered Mini Tiffin, which had Sambhar rice, Puliyodhurai, Lemon rice, Chapathi, Pickle, and Potato. The quantity was more than sufficient for a person. > Also, tried their Hayagreeva Maddi, which was bit dry I felt. However, it was good. > Affordable price.

  • 4/5 Vinee P. 8 months ago on Google • 167 reviews
    I used to always order through Zomato when I am at my friend's place and I am in crazy love with their menu and quality of food. Decided to drive by (from Madipakkam) and ordered for about 600 INR, just evening snacks to try all of their evening menu. Loved the automated order system. They could introduce cards as well. The staff aren't polite at all. Kind of condescending and I left the car and came back after 15 minutes to pick up the order. Packed nicely and value for money. I'll stick to ordering Online than come here and have a bad experience. I am still giving them a 4 ⭐ for their value for money food and sumptuous delicacies.

    Andhikadai the veg. restaurant is located behind vijayanagar(velacherry) residential and could not be easily reach.Parking is difficult one. The tables are limited so seat find is also difficult one. The south indian meals and variety rice food are tasty and coffee,fresh juice also fine. And also kanchipuram idli,uthappam,elaneer payasam are tasty. The rates are reasonable.

    Millet combo was ok but the poori was oily. The sukkumalli coffee was excellent on a rainy day. Service was personal and without a fault.

    They have good food every day, and the service is very good, but it gets really crowded because the space is small. The menu has lots of tasty options, but be ready for wait in queue as it's almost always crowded.

    Podi idly is a must try. Perfect ghee dosa. And that sambarvada was yummmm. Reasonable price. Always crowded. Have to wait 15-20 min. Aappam coconut milk is available at night also. Elneer payasam was below average.

  • 4/5 Vimal V. 1 year ago on Google
    The restaurant is located behind Vijayanagar residential and could not be easily located unless you take effort to drive through the small residential streets. Parking may be an issue but there is a watchman who would help you find a spot on the road. The tables are limited and the ambiance reminds you of the 90s era. They have a good selection on traditional South Indian food and excellent coffee and juices. A lot of the patrons were local residents who came in their comfy home pyjamas. We ordered some panniyaram and suyiyan. The taste felt like home made. Cost also seemed like budget but they could reduce more to make it affordable for all classes of people.

    The food was good, but the service needs to be improved. Expect a long wait time(15 - 30 mins) to get your seats. Baklava was not great.

    Awesome food, fair prices and decent service. Hard to find hotels in Chennai that honour traditional dishes like Adai, Aviyal, Apam, Paniyaaram etc. Definitely one of the best hotels in velachery area for vegetarians.

  • 4/5 Asok S. 2 years ago on Google
    Millet combo : 85 Being as a regular visitor for many years, this hotel never disappoints even once! Quality & Taste no change even before/after covid! Their authentic traditional taste and snacks are highlights. For every season/festival, menu get change apart from all time regular items. Millet combo is my usual pick at morning times than the normal combo! Taste wise you never see any difference than the regular mini tiffin and good for health too atleast for millets! Millet dosa and pongal are really the agmark flavour from south! Idly Sambar and their kara chutney taste awesome. Tummy full after having the sukku malli coffee as finishing one though you think overall minimal items in the mini tiffin. Do give a try if you are new!

  • 4/5 Arri B. 3 years ago on Google
    I am not a person who prefer veg meals. But this place serves meals which is so good. This place is for pure veg. A lot of varieties at a lower cost. Their Eelaneer payasam is a must try.

  • 4/5 susi k. 2 years ago on Google
    💓 nice place to eat sweets and food.

  • 4/5 Priya V. 3 years ago on Google
    Have been dining here for almost 5 years now. Their ground floor is self serve and first floor mostly opens during lunch time and serves as a proper restaurant. Food is hygienic and never caused any trouble. I even order via swiggy/Zomato and they deliver promptly. Their breakfast items and lunch items are pretty good. Traditional Mysore Pak, MAA laddu , makkan peda tastes good so as their ammini kolukattai. The kalayana laddu and rava laddu were stale and tasted bad. Have to throw it away. Recently ordered their seeraga samba veg biryani tasted nice and quantity is good enough. Have tried a lot of items from them like full meals, ragi poori, kothu parota, variety rice, nannari, rose milk etc. All the items tasted good and they have maintained the consistency over years without compromising on taste. Over all nice place for quality food and doesn't do any harm. My 70 year old father and my 10-12 year old niece and nephew enjoys the food here without any health troubles.

  • 5/5 Vanishree S. 8 months ago on Google
    The Kuzhi Paniyaram was Scrumptious!!🙂 They serve a set of 7 Pcs for Rs.65. It was crunchy and fluffy at the same time. In Sweets, Karupatti Mysore Pak is a Must try if you're a sweet tooth. The customer service is very good 💯. Appreciate it!! Highly recommended for vegetarian food options.

  • 3/5 saiprasad p. 7 months ago on Google
    I used to love the quality and taste of items here. Recently however, I visited after a long gap and the special meals didn't seem that special to me. They also charged me extra for ghee. Most of that ghee went to waste because I didn't need more than 1 spoon of it. Service is excellent and quick, but i wish they bring back the variety in their food as before.

  • 5/5 Kalaiarasi C. 6 months ago on Google
    Good people, tasty food, good ambience with reasonable price. Over crowd due to its highly superb taste through they are managing the crowd in aligned manner. And one more thing I observed is they provide job opportunity to all the senior citizen people their service is too good 😊

    Nice place for vegetarian food. Went for breakfast and had mini tiffin. The taste was good and price was reasonable too. They have less space but have compactly arranged the tables to accommodate many people.

  • 5/5 CR 2 years ago on Google
    Best place for affordable and yet tasty and hygiene vegetarian south Indian food. Staff are very polite and courteous. Rose milk and the nanaari sharbath are a must try apart from Dosa and veg meals, although you might want to ask them to control the sugar levels. Coffee here is okay-good.

  • 5/5 chinnadurai l. 2 years ago on Google
    Home food items are very very nice taste... Many senior citizens people visited there for breakfast, lunch, evening snacks and dinners.. coffee s very strong and pure taste...Try to visit is must.. only issue is small parking which s only for two wheelers

    Love the rustic ambience and their wonderful food. Staff are always friendly and helpful. Will visit again and again.

  • 4/5 Yamunai S. 1 year ago on Google
    Undoubtedly one of the genuine place where you will get authentic taste. Only problem is due to its popularity in weekends there will be crowd and we need to wait for sometime. If you are someone who likes to eat in calm ambience, you may not like this place. Customer servicing is good. But they are not providing menu card. You need to check day's special and order it. Start early, so that you can taste all the available items in the menu. We tried: Kaanchipuram Idly, Panneer Masala Dosa, Veg Kothu Parotta, Tea and Ilaneer Payasam. All are good. Instead of spending 1000s in so called popular hotels this is nice place to spend. And you get satisfaction as well :)

  • 5/5 prajeeshkvijayan 2 years ago on Google
