    Madurai Famous Jigarthanda stores are spread across Madurai but the best store is located near Vilakkuthoon, at a walkable distance from Thirumalai Naicker Mahal. No other Jigarthanda store can match the taste found at this branch. This is the best in Madurai and locals vouch for it as well. Though there is no seating place, people throng here to get a glass of their favourite Jigarthanda.

    Famous jigarthanda is the lone and popular branch available all over India. They don't have subsidiary branches anywhere else. Very popular on YouTube. One of the must visit places in madurai. A variety of jigarthanda is available, we tried special and mini jigarthanda which costs 40/- and 60/- respectively. The taste is very unique and special. No other jigarthanda can match this taste. Lots of space available for dining. This review is completely based on my own experience.

    A very unique Indian dessert experience. Jigarthanda stands somewhere between a shake and an ice cream. The place is mostly crowded. There's a small hall like setup adjacent where we can sit and have the catch. Located at a very busy city point parking may be a hassle here.

    When you are in Madurai, this is a must try! Famous Jigarthanda has many outlets in Madurai and also in various other cities in TN. But this is their original shop and this is the best! You need to stand in the road and enjoy this, but forget about the comfort.. just enjoy the taste.

    The first shop of the famous jigarthanda chain. They have a small vending shop at the junction, you can buy there and move to nearby siting space which is built a floor above . The origin of this famous drink was in here . The staffs are customer friendly and the place has some authenticity.

    The original and the origin of jigarthanda from madurai to the world starts from here. It's simply unique and the best dessert you can ever taste. Don't go for parcels having there itself is best.

  • 4/5 swathi m. 9 months ago on Google • 179 reviews
    The taste of the Jigarthanda made up for it. It was creamy, sweet and had a perfect balance of flavors. The staff was friendly and quick to serve us. The ambiance of the place was average, but it's understandable since it's a street-side shop. Overall, I would recommend Madurai Famous Jigarthanda to anyone who loves this traditional drink. Just be prepared for the lack of hygiene.

    The OG Jigarthanda shop in Madurai. We would witnessed many Jigarthanda shops with the same branding across TN, but this is the 1st shop and was originally opened in Madurai. You can easily find the difference in Taste and Quality of the Jigarthanda provided here. OG for a reason! The best part is they give parcels to other cities also. Incase if you want to carry it to a longer distance, they pack them accordingly in an ice box for which they charge some additional fee. It can survive for 20-24 hrs inside the box. Only con is the Parking. It is located in the most busiest junction, hence parking cars will be really next to impossible. Otherwise, if you are someone who wants to try the original Madurai Jigarthanda, then this place serves the purpose. Cost: ₹35/Mini Serve or ₹70/Regular Serve; Basundi cost around ₹70/Serve

    Not sure if I am an expert to review Jigarthanda because I haven't tasted it before. But tried here and it was good. No complaints. They have two varities. Mini and spl. 40 and 60 rs respectively. The place is on the corner of a main junction and it is always crowded since this is the famous Jigarthanda place. They have a big hall next to the shop for people to sit and relish the dish. Overall a good experience. Felt that it got over soon :)

    As they say - Never judge a book by its cover.. Dont judge this place and the taste by just looking at the pictures and reviews, If you ever visit #Madurai , Make sure you add this place to your to do list. The price is very affordable, the taste is very good compared to other shops. You wont regret having tasted authentic #Jigarthanda from this place..

    One of the busiest place in whole of Madurai city. Never miss out on Jigarthanda here. They offer many options and sizes. Very tasty and must try here. Shop is small but they serve very quick and they have a good sized hall next door for customers to have space to drink in comfort.

  • 5/5 Prashanth J. 2 years ago on Google
    This is said to be the oldest Jigarthanda Shop in Madurai. Located close to the Meenakshi Amman Temple street. It is almost crowded any time of the day. The taste is superb and we won't get this taste from other similar shops in Madurai. There is some special about this place and one should taste it themselves to realize. They also offer take away bottles. Very well designed bottle to hold the special soft drink and it gives the same feel of having it in traditional glass tumblers. I am a big fan of this soft drink, especially from this shop :D

  • 4/5 Tomin J. 2 years ago on Google
    Exceptionally tasty jigarthanda to cool down on a hot day. Place is quite crowdy and right besides the busy street. No parking on the side of the shop.

  • 5/5 Lakshmi D. 7 months ago on Google • 22 reviews
    It’s a must try drink when you’re in Madurai. It’s very refreshing and delicious. They have a spacious sitting area nearby to this shop also.

  • 5/5 Sameer S. 2 years ago on Google
    This is the original Famous jigarthanda shop. There is many around the town but this is the authentic one serving delicious jigarthanda. You can locate the place easily as this one is always crowded and also it is a small shop. Upon request you get can sugar less jigarthanda too.

  • 5/5 Lalith K. 2 years ago on Google
    Madurains are so blessed. Visited thrice in a single day. Tempts people to have more Jigarthandas. This is the authentic shop near Vilakuthoon, a happening place 👍🏻

  • 4/5 Siva Sakthi K. 2 years ago on Google
    Famous as it is the name tells.. Very tasty in an unique way. There is lot of space available to drink relax and enjoy the Jigarthanda. Once you go there you will get addicted to this place. and am damn sure you can't come up with the single clas.. Jigarthanda is a super cool drink packed with all the benefits of badam pisin, Nannari sarbath and custard milk. The word Jigarthanda refers to “a drink which can cools the heart”. It is very popular here. None can beat this JIGARTHANDA taste. They provide a quality product in different forms.

    Loved the Jigarthanda. Madurai's famous local dessert. The famous jigarthanda shop has multiple outlets around Madurai city. All of them are equally good

  • 2/5 Amar J. 1 year ago on Google
    We did not like it at all. It was not that good in taste. Very sweet, we could feel the sugar in it. Don’t know if authentic Jigarthanda taste like this or something else. That’s all.

  • 5/5 Ananthu M S. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Vignesh K. 1 year ago on Google
    Jigarthanda's quality was very good. It was thick and creamy. Must try in Madurai. There are many shops that go by the same name, but this one is authentic.

  • 5/5 Shivani G. 2 years ago on Google
    While looking for ice-cream parlour, we came across this store. This super special Royal Falooda was a superb delight. Different, multiple layers, tasty and fulfilling. Must stop shop in Madurai. They also offer snacks and other kulfi varieties alongside ice-creams. They also have sitting space. Bang on the road. Close to JC Residency Hotel.
