    Went to had breakfast on a Sunday morning in Ambattur branch. After hearing so much about the shop. It was utter dissapontment ! They served four chutney none was up to the mark. It was so blend ! And the price tag for the products was unbelievable ! A uthapam cost 111 rupes ! :/ Quantity and quality was not up to the mark as they charge for the products. They don't serve a menu card or displayed the prices of the products ! May be because people run after seeing the prices. Will never visit again and will never recommend to anyone. Giving it 1 star because can't able to give 0.

    This place is really good for what they are famous for. But I really wish, they would improve on this service and hygiene front. Most of the time the folks who clean the table don't clean properly. And half the time the banana leaf is not practical enough to have so many chutneys and sambar. Maybe they should think about having plates under the leaf like many other restaurants. But otherwise, the food tastes really good, and that's all that matters for many.

    This is a good restaurants. Some of the Murugan Idli shops are not that good and I had lost hopes. But this restaurant is good, it has decent ambience, good menu, and good taste. Do try onion uthappam here. They use small onions. I have eaten onion uthappam where the big onion is finely chopped and added to the batter to prepare onion uthappam. This small onion uthappam was much better in taste. Service is quick and the waiters are cordial. Prices are nominal. Only issue is this restaurant is in a remote location and not many people know about this restaurant. There is also a sweets and snacks shop nearby.

    I had bad experience with murugan idli for quite some time and I was unsure checking this place. But to my surprise the rava dosai was so yummy and crunchy the way I asked for and chutnies and sambar were tasty as well. The service was good especially the hospitable lady who suggested to have the yummy paniyaram as well. Since they have centralized kitchen I was puzzled why here it's good and other locations were not good but bland. Then I found that here they are adding adequate amount of salt while in other places they don't even check the salt and hence the taste is bad Keep it up guys.

    Food was not hot and tasty especially at the lunch hours. Had to keep asking for service of sambar and chutney though they were not occupied at all.. Too much flies at the eating place ..

    Beware: If you are not interested in your life you can very well go to this hotel. Tonight when my 58 year old mom was having idli she found a stapler pin inside it. I am shell shocked to see that. She found it when she had that piece of idly in mouth. What if she ate it what if if this idly was served to a 2or 3 year old child Horrible, i advise people who visit this hotel to be very cautious better avoid having food over there. God saved my mom that's all i can say.

    In the past they have earned a good name and Goodwill. But now they are not giving much interest to keep the Goodwill earned. The quality and taste is not comparable from the inception. To keep your customers still in your books you have to make a time travel to your earlier days.

    I had the idly and chinna vengaya podi dosai. Idly is very normal and soft. Chinna vengaya podi dosai is crispy and the taste is top notch. Must try a dish here.

  • 5/5 Abigail 2 months ago on Google • 9 reviews New
    This was my husband and my first trip to India. Our friends recommended this place and it was amazing! This was our first meal in Chennai and we had no idea what to expect. We fell in love with the garlic podi dosa, filter coffee, and idli here. In our next few days in Chennai, we tried different restaurants but still loved this the most. I think the service made a difference to our bias. The staff were amazing. Although there was a bit of language barrier, they still provided the warmest welcome. Highly recommend.

    Worst quality food for high price please see iam drop into waste bin of worst food

  • 5/5 Bhagavathi V. 2 years ago on Google
    I've been here many times. It's one of my favourites. Description Is not necessary to explain the taste and quality of this place, It's always been awesome, specially the taste of chakri Pongal served here would be fantastic. Good location, good parking facility and well maintained place. Visited recently one afternoon. We ordered meals and a variety of rice. The taste wasn't as good as before, However I would still wish to give them 5 stars happily, since they were the best In taste all these years

  • 5/5 Hridaya L. 1 year ago on Google
    This franchise is not very crowded and has friendly staff members. The staff clean the tables infront of you and offer great range of food options. Very affordable and tasty food 😊 has become a regular spot for us and highly recommend it.

  • 5/5 nishant c. 3 years ago on Google
    My favourite place for South Indian food in Chennai.. The dosa and idlis are just awesome... On top of that they give you 4 different chutneys like onion, garlic, coconut etc...

  • 5/5 Sanjay S. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Palanivel Periasamy (. 1 year ago on Google
    Place is well maintained and the food is also tastes good. Car parking area is on the road and limited. 4 different chutneys adds more flavor to the food.

  • 4/5 Abdul ilah ali k. 3 years ago on Google
    A spot for veg lovers. Well maintained and reasonable price. Should visit this place to try jigarthanda.

  • 1/5 Santhana R. 1 year ago on Google
    Had worst experience.. sambhar is made in morning and they are serving after heating in the evening...same goes with chuttney..ordered valakai bajji and not worth the money...road side tea shop master can make better bajji..very expensive place to have food...one panner dosa 200 rupees...two pieces small flat bajji 60 rupees...for each dish have to wait minimum 15 minutes...

  • 5/5 Benston S. 3 years ago on Google
    It's specially famous for jigirthanda 60 rs

  • 3/5 Karthikeyan B. 1 year ago on Google
    It WAS a good restaurant. It WAS!!!.. Though the food remains good even today, the service has reduced drastically. There is no adequate manpower, which they needs to concentrate.

  • 5/5 GeePee 1 year ago on Google
    Good place to dine in with family.. Usually have my breakfast while going to office. Vada is priced on thee higher side. But, definitely worth giving a shot.

  • 2/5 Sundar 1 year ago on Google
    Dosa batter is not fermented, just they grind and prepare dosa. Sambar, chutney taste has come down drastically. The taste has come down because they focus on opening new restaurants. My kids used to enjoy the Jigartunda and that quality of taste also has come down.

  • 4/5 Nagasudhan N. 3 years ago on Google
    Only place other than small shops where you don't need to distrub the waiter for chutney or sambar is murugan idli shop. It's really annoying in eateries where they serve sambar in cups, especially some one like me who equally consumes more sambar/ chutneys while having dosa or idli. Here service was quick but, the place ambience and cleanliness can be improved still.

  • 3/5 Partha S. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is OK. All their upsell is super worst. That's not the way to sell and sweets are very bad. Too pricy for the products.

  • 4/5 Ganapathiappan S. 1 year ago on Google
    Tiffin and south indian meals are tasty. Idly is soft, sambar and 4 varieties of chutney are super.

  • 4/5 Vellore Home Foods C. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice restaurant but small place in dinning otherwise food is good and car parking available here

  • 4/5 Vijayaraghavan M. 1 year ago on Google
    A decent place for vegetarian food. Podi idli is famous here and it's delicious to have. Service is average. If you are coming in as a group, better ask the waiter to reconfirm your order

  • 4/5 girish j. 1 year ago on Google
    The food preparation is very good. Perfect destination for Veg food lovers. The cleanliness needs a bit of improvement. Value for money is assured.

  • 1/5 vijgeet 1 year ago on Google
    It is saddening that once a centre for good food now totally serving bad and horrible food as well as over charging. It's fit that this centre is inspected by fssai as some of the items like chutney which once used to be tastier are now horrible to eat. Pl make a wise choice next time

  • 1/5 Pavithra S. 1 year ago on Google
    The worst experience ever ... There were no staffs to attend and every time we have to keep on calling the waiter to each and every item. Food is of below average quality and taste. Yesterday we went as a family and had a horrible experience. We ordered Panner dosa and foul smell started coming from dosa and it tasted really bad

  • 1/5 mukil a. 9 months ago on Google

    Good in taste like other branches.. 👌🏻The atmosphere is very good.. Neat and clean.. 👍🏻 They have small shop outside with bakery items and jigarthanda.. 🥤 Weekdays are less crowded..

  • 2/5 Senthil R. 7 months ago on Google
    Obsolete waste of money to spend here. This shop no longer serving as authentic Murugan Idli shop. I ordered Onion podi Uttappam, the server brought half cooked Onion Uttappam which was nowhere near the one's we previously used to have, for this they took more than 15 minutes to serve. Even the Podi idli, podi dosa are not upto the mark. This place has lost it's value it used to have..

  • 5/5 SHADOW GAMER (. 8 months ago on Google
    Good family restaurant. Nice and clean Atmosphere. Good and quick service. No long wait for food to arrive. Only 10 - 15 mins for food to be prepared. Food has been prepared once the order is taken not pre-cooked food is given. Good for health. Best tifin restaurant I would personally recommend you to take your family to that restaurant to eat and enjoy your meal to your fullest 😋

  • 5/5 Navya 6 months ago on Google

    Nice brunch and meal. Great taste.

  • 4/5 Bharathan D. 3 years ago on Google
    The atmosphere in hotel is very good. Service is also equally good. Similarly lunch price 100 + not worth. Equally lunch quality to improve lot. Also choice of mini meals with reasonable can be introduced or else alternatively mixed rice to introduce. No choice is available for the customers with regard to meals items. Similarly Coffee rate is also very high It should be rs. 20 only. There should be Tea and Horlicks or Bournvita. Again no choice for customers they have to consume only Coffee. All tiffen items quality is very good. Hope these comments will be taken in a good spirit.

  • 4/5 Saravanan L. 3 years ago on Google
    Only Dosa and idli were available. almost like 60-70% of the items in the menu were not available. However, the food tasted good

  • 1/5 Bharath Kumar M. 3 years ago on Google

  • 1/5 Arif S. 3 years ago on Google
