No doubt one the best places to have food in Trichy. Nutritious food genuinely cooked in earthen pots. Food:- Vegetarian dishes with the most subtle flavours. It is pretty light. It is very rich in fibre and great to tummy. Customer service:- It is wholly managed by warm and beautiful ladies, who serve food with love and genuine care. The founder and owner himself is very down to earth. Ambience:- It is an open air restaurant. The ventilation is pretty decent. Cleanliness:- Very well maintained. Price:- ₹₹₹ Since the food is high in quality and nutrition it demands this much. Tip:- They only serve lunch. Overall a lovely place to have lunch with your family.

I came to know about this place through a Food group in Facebook long back. I was going via Trichy, decided to have lunch over here. Went with Buffet option to try out their entire menu. Check out attached photo consisting of Menu of the day for Buffet spread. They have some vintage stuffs displayed inside the restaurant. Got table in ease since we went just before the peak hours. Service was good and they were attentive throughout. But they were not wearing mask 😟 Taste wise only few items were good. Rest are all either average or below average. Some are too sour while few are very spicy. Sambar varieties was diluted too much / watery. Salt level need to be spot-on. Quality is poor. Spotted Cockroach leg in Perandai Thogayal which made our experience even worse. Pricing is okay.

It’s a wonderful experience of having lunch at this restaurant. I feel like home. The staffs are very friendly and polite. She explained every items that she served. The owner Mr.Mohan bring us to his kitchen and explained their innovative cooking method. Tq

Variety is the spice of life! This place serves earthen pot cooked food served in banana life with endless varieties of vegetables. It is worth the money you pay and is a must try experience. Lot of the items served are rather unique and things you don’t find in regular shops.

A good taste food for all vegan eaters . Service is so kind and respectful. Will recommend for both buffet nd non buffet veg meals. Wishes to all the members of chellamal manpaani samayal..

Very authentic south Indian food. Lunch on Banana leaf with mud cups and pots.Very delicious. Meals a great option. Ambiance of a village, built over a heritage building. Great place for family. All side dishes cost Rs.10 & Rs. 20. Rs.20 for a bowl of rice Price is calculated by the number of cups and pots on the table.

A place with an unique menu, something that changes daily. This is a place where you have to enter hungry to eat your fill. There are 2 options, limited menu or unlimited. Try the unlimited option. The women who serve you tell you what the item is and you taste it longing for more. Follow the line of the servers and you will get to taste all the food. Served from mud vessels, the food is too delicious. After you eat the fill, the bill is what makes you smile..so affordable. Do eat here.

This is that traditional and local lunch offering restaurant. The place is clean and the waiters are very polite. The items are served in small quantities and are charged based on how much was consumed. Almost no food gets wasted here. The taste is good and the food feels very home-made.

Amazing lunch... The ladies serve the food with utmost love and affection

Memorable experience. Unlimited buffet but served in table in Japanese Sushi style. Grandma day’s menu. 35 items in large plantain leaf. Many dishes were unique and have vanished from modern kitchen. We did enjoy and came out fully satisfied. Antiques on display is mood booster.

We have tried their unlimited buffet vegetarian meal and it costs you about 250₹ and tastes good The varities are huge here which will fulfill your tummy They are preparing all the food with traditional fire wood method so the taste were so good, we just enjoyed dinning here. The servers are likely 95% woman’s working here and everyone serves with a big smile Dinning with this restaurant resembles a throwback story of my grandma and her town cooking. We should support such healthy and hygiene environment restaurants to get known by more people

The experience at this place was really good with how everything is served in mud pots. But it'd be better you reach there before 2pm Or even 1:30pm for lunch because by the time we reached there everything almost got over. It's ₹150/- for à la carte per head and ₹270/- for buffet. You can even try their natural Ice cream.

I went to this hotel after watching Madras Street food YouTube channel. What he said 💯 percent correct. The owner was a very kind person I talked with him for 15 min he was very knowledgeable about food preparation. Let's try one time. Whoever comes to Trichy...

The hotel has the food cooked in clay pot. The taste was awesome. There were around 35 varieties of dishes were served. It is a perfect place for having vegetarian meals. Many items were new and we won't get all these items simultaneously anywhere. With this I have attached the list of items served. The cost was nominal. The only drawback is lack of steadious service of the items. It takes time and sometimes make us wait for the dishes to arrive. Other than this it is best place veg foods

Tasty food.... Affordable price... Homely atmosphere... Quick and good service.... People throng this place to have a taste of earthen vessels prepared food.....we can taste organic food..As the place very near the Government hospital, many people use this service....

Top quality traditional healthy food served here. Silang varieties prepared naturally and delivered to Customers in mud pot. Such a great feel. Lovely ambience. Pl do visit this. Highly recommended. Must visit. Enjoy the meal for sure. Guaranteed. Cheers!

Very nice veg Restaruant with traditional flavour and served in banana leaf

Authentic traditional food without overpowering masalas that can make you feel good.

Nice place to try various veg dishes. The buffet charge is ₹300 . For service additional persons should be added. Traditional millet dishes were also good. Place was very busy. Should visit for a different experience.

The traditional and authentic style of making good food that tastes like home at this restaurant makes it quite distinct from the food we usually eat elsewhere. Although the idea of cooking in clay pots is very simple, it does make a significant difference in bringing palatable food to the table. The use of clay pots is also portrayed to be hygienic and natural, therefore bringing pure joy at the sight of their unpretentious plating. Truly One of a kind.👍

Amazing experience of authentic South Indian meals. I guarantee you that no other mainstream restaurant serves country vegetables like Vazhaipoo (banana flower), Vazhaithandu (banana stem), and several types of spinach/leafy greens, etc among other kinds like this place. If you wanna experience authentic South Indian lunch, then this is hands down the only choice you gotta make! Special mention to the courteous and friendly staff at this place. Just a lovely experiment overall. ❤️🙂🙏🏻

Food OK. But it's ambiance need to be maintained

Good vegetarian organic food cooked in mud pot. Wonderful experience of rediscovering traditional tamil nadu food. Must try in Trichy.

Taste was good.. Choose ur dishes, U can pay for wat u eat.. Nannari Water😚 Fresh curd☺️ Varieties of side dishes 😃 Best Veg - Trichy's must try lunch place.. Previously they used to cook & Served in manpaanai itself. Tasted great.. As the demands increased, Now, they are only "Serving" in Manpaanai (Earthen Pots).. Note : Buffet may not Advisable (But Depends on ur hungry😋).. Image Courtesy : weknowit_stories@instagram

The food is yummy and the options are healthy. The food cooked in clay pot gives a great taste. Price is also reasonable. "Had lunch like a King"

The ambience is very good. Buffet costs around 250 which is a good option to take instead of Ala carte. Each mud pot cost 20 bucks which is quite high for the quantity provided. The dishes tastes very good

Over hyped mediocre place, with no close to the nativity of the cuisine, the lady who was serving the buffet food was without covid gears and serving with bare hand is another turn off

Waste taste Not worth for money

That’s just a sample of their 48 different menu items. Very hospitable. Excellent “parampariya” Tamil food. Visit them for the or experience and to enjoy some great food.

Not at all recommend very very average food we can even eat. atleast they must spend money to buy good quality rice and when u enter there they push to to have buffet. Every dish are very average not hot at all.people are coming just for the ambience and vintage style. They must improve the quality of products they using ❌note: in food we found hair in there we called and said them they said sorry sir ❌ I don’t know what’s going on there they just keep 1 spoon in everything u need to keep on asking them/🙏 Even 100rs meal u get everything and satisfied in other restaurant.

the best South Indian lunch option in town with more than 30 varieties which keeps changing on a daily basis. you can choose an unlimited menu which is separately served and charged at Rs. 250 per person. you can also choose limited meal option where you have to pay for each individual item you select. the food options here is healthy and has a lot of variety. there are options to select from a couple of rice varieties. have been here multiple times and the service and ambience remains the same standard.

Very healthy food ,taste is also good, lot of option .Guarantee for a good health

The restaurant had a retro style that reminded us of the past. The staff was very friendly and made us feel at home. The food was delicious and organic, and served with care. We enjoyed the traditional dishes and the drinks that had health benefits. The water was also infused with medicinal herbs. Must try spot for vegetarian lovers and for people who are conscious about their health.

The ambience was classic with wooden tables.Food they provided are they once we forgotten, because by the dominant of fast food . They have a different types of menu for different days in a week.Each day has a different menu. Lunch timings are 12:15 PM -3:30 PM. Lunch was delicious and tasty healthy food. If you haven't try, Kindly visit once get experienced with healthy foods. They have two types of dine in , normal and buffet type.

We had Buffet lunch. Hats off to Ladies who is running this restaurant. Though they serve many varieties n very healthy items , all the items are stored inside the AC Buffet hall itself without any heater to keep the food hot. Including Rice all the items are sooooo cold n hence couldn't enjoy the taste of the food. Even the soup was also so cold. Unless otherwise the main item Rice is good quality, u cant enjoy the food. Rice is like Kerala rice n also not hot and hence not able to eat more. Almost all the vegetables are in same taste as if they are using the same masala for all the dishes. Kindly concentrate all these and let us enjoy our food next time. U can raise the rate n give good food. Dont keep all the food inside AC hall. Just keep sample items in small pots for showpiece n rest of the food can be kept out side to serve hot. The concept is good but need more care to serve hot and tasty food to attract and retain more customer.

Food taste and hospitality is horrible. Reponse of the hotel owner is very rude.you tube reviews👊 😠🤷‍♀️

Ultimate nutritious food items . Go for buffet you will get varieties of natural foods recipes . Buffet is 200 Rs. Worth a lot !!!!! . Highly recommended

Hygiene and cleanliness is extremely low the bad sewage smell coming around the place when we had the food we could not tolerate . Rice and desserts was the worst. Waste of monney.

Loved.. authentic hom made food and healthy..great hospitality..

Best place in trichy,pure veg with healthy dishes..

The foods are just awesome as like food prepared in home

Homely and simple place. You get a variety of traditional vegetable dishes. Cooking and maintenance by women. Good one traditional and village taste.

Good Ambience. Taste is like home made food. We choose the dishes want we want, its the best thing here. Wasting the food is negligable.

Average food at high rate In the name of traditional food cheating people. Taste was average similar to small road side hotel but added some traditional foods and drinks.

Worst food ever... Very very expensive food. 300% profit... Oru karandi kolambu rs20. 1 rupee vathal 20ruba... Quantity also not enough. No taste or flavour. Worst restaurant ever.

Price was too high. Not matched my expectations.

Worst service. May be good for health but the method of service is worst.

Really nice & good quality of lunch.. All will be served in a pot.. 20rs / pot irrespective of dishes. You can get authentic tamilnadu's styles. You can get paanakkam (one of the drink after lunch). Big space .. Roof made of leaf of coconut tree.. Nice atmosphere..

Food is spicy. I'm getting pain in stomach.

Over cost...Quantity very items very low

Awesome veg varieties even a non vegetarian should try

Intresting restaurant

nice village food

Wow.....

Good...

Good

There is delicious food.

Nice hotel with an treditional atmosphere, well knowledged and kind staffs, with 100% hygiene was maintained, pure Veg and organic foods.

The one place, making food in traditional type.

Homely taste foods with mess like appearance

Must try in Trichy the taste and quality of the food was home style and completely satisfied the need of my taste buds. But the quantity is less so less one star and giving 4 stars

Ok

Best food and value for money.

Variety, taste and price is good.

Nice place

Can say authonitic food.

Good tasty food with good service... Food is cheaper and taste are good... One can eat according to the special variety of food available with multiple vegetables and spinach.... Traditional homely food....

Great South Indian Home style dishes. It is a vegetarian only place and they have a whopping 25 dishes to choose from. You can either opt for an all you can eat meal or buy only the dishes that you desire from the same menu. Their speciality is that they serve traditional, healthy Tamil dishes exclusively. Good place to start if you are looking to try Tamil cuisine. Me, as a local was pleasantly surprised to see the traditional dishes served from mud pots. And the building is atleast 75 years old, tastefully decorated with antiques, so that the ambiance matches the food.

Food has natural taste. But small cup of veg has Rs.20 before entering into the hotel you must have Received.200

A must visit place to experience what traditional cooking is all about. Take a tour of the kitchen too. Worth your time and money

A different view on classic cooking, taste was so earthy and real, pure Veg ans you will be delighted with some flavours..

Best Authentic Food.

Delicious

Okey food..having many varieties but can't pin point a signature dish... Go only for explore not for sale taste

Home made foods

Very homely food . Hygienic.

Overated veg restaurant. There's nothing special as such except for the pots they serve and the antiques they preserve.

Homely and good

Very good quality & tasty food with reasonable price..

Had my lunch here daily for more than 3 years. Won't forget the taste and quality of foods. The people who serves the food are very friendly and owner of the hotel also very friendly we used to call her as Akka.

Excellent food good service

Ok food

Not much good

Excellent taste. Homely food

Very authentic South Indian food. Don't forget to vist chellammal manpannai samayal if you vist trichy

Very unique experience, every item tasted well, even the ones generally I user to dislike 😂 We also liked "paanam" after meals drink.

Cooked and presented well. Good place for those who seek tamil cuisine primarily consisting of variety of vegetables, cereals and pulses.

Lot of veg side dishes for lunch. Whatever we are taking, thats only billed. Taste is good. Server behavior not good.

Non descript home converted to hotel. Large variety of items. I counted 30+. You get to sample each in a banana leaf. What you like, you can ask for more as required. sambar, 4 kulambu, 2 rasam and more. 3 variety sweet / drink to help digestion. Traditionally cooked oil less on earthen pots and served. Not sure if hyped, the food was decent and clean, but nothing exceptional. Can try it once for the experience.

Healthier veg buffet Rs.250 per person 30 items Value for money

Loved their method of serving the food than the taste. Excellent taste and good hospitality. I loved their theme of not wasting the food. Meanwhile in other hotels customers waste their own food unnecessaryly. But here each cup carries a price tag with an affordable price that the customer choice to select what he wants to eat. May be the price of the food spent in the hotel can be slightly large comparing other hotels if only one eats But if we go with family or friends with 4+ people can share the stuffs which makes it affordable Love the hotel much

Food is good and healthy. We can get more traditional varieties. Ambience is neat and clean. Full of nutritious food with good quantity. Hospitality is very polite and good.

Taste wise good.. But less quantity.. Suitable for less eating persons.. 🤔

The food was spicy. We went with children and they couldn't bear the spicy food. We asked for ghee but they didn't provide. Then after so much demand they gave very little oil for the food. This place best suits for spicy food lovers. The food taste was not great. We were served warm food. Very poor hospitality. The quantity they served was also less. Not worth the money you pay.

The outside dining area is dirty with tables not cleaned with flies on the table. Poor hygiene. Food is not well prepared. They are using the health hype to cash in. The inner dining hall is Rs 250 for buffet. The outer area is Rs 20 per dish. A good vegetarian meals in a normal hotel is a much better choice.

I really loved it. Feeling happy while eating the food. 34 varieties it's completely awesome. Everyone should try. Their way of cooking and services are unbeatable. Personally I refer this hotel to my friends and family.

💯% organic restaurant Handmade products only to make a foods Unlimited meals price 250rs it's like a buffet Traditional restaurant Traditional foods are available Unique items available

When I visited trichy from bangalore, I thought of visiting this nice resturant for having healthy lunch. There is 16 variety of poriyal, 6 type of curry's along with thinai rice and white rice with 1 payasam, 1 sweet, 1 cup lassy winding with one cup digestion juice. They charge 250 Rs for unlimited meal. I was feeling like a home and service is very good . Very peace and calm in the heart of the city. A/C dining area. Over all satisfied. Suggestion : The owner who sit in the reception, she has to welcoming the client with smile. So that customer also will feel elated to have the lunch.

It's a unique experience of traditional south Indian style of dining surrounded by antique objects like gramophone, grandfather clock etc. The food is typical south Indian vegetarian served on banana leaves from earthern pots. The food is lovingly served by women, who also manage the restaurant. The ambience is homely and welcoming. The food is healthy and has a lot of variety. They serve jeera water, appetizing soup (rasam style ) and in the end a shot of digestive drink made of ginger, lemon and jaggery. Right now some construction work is going on so a little messy but they have an AC inner dining hall.

Good place to eat full traditinal veg meals. All dishes are taste very good. Service is good, explaining about the dish and serve based on liked items. More than 25 items served. Even you start linking the dishes you didn't like before.

After a long time I had a long big pure veg fest and the spl thing is they are ready to showcase their kitchen and preparations which are purely authenticated and traditional style with Manpaanai samayal. I highly recommend everyone to try this restaurant once and make memorable moments and healthy food fest

Excellent food. Explained every dish served. Owner took us on a tour of the kitchen and explained the cooking methods and utensils used. Staff and owner Very knowledgeable about the food. Great customer service. Reasonable price. A must visit food destination when Trichy.
