    I am very happy to eat in this hotel. I was not having enough money in my wallet, therefore I informed hotel owner that I will take money from ATM and then I ll come to eat . Owner humbly said , sir you please eat, then you go. I was completely astounded by such a wonderful humanitarian hospitality in this era. All of you kindly visit this hotel for tasting traditional authentic healthy food.

    Excellent onion uthappam + podi. Green kara chutney was mind blowing Dosa & idly were also good. Poori was not fresh, Chappathi was very oily. Heard the standards have come down, but still liked the dosa items.

    On seeing youtube channels I just wanted to taste the stuff here. But I didn't find any extraordinary things (taste wise). But cost wise it is cheaper than other restaurants in this location

    We are from Coimbatore.We almost walked 2.5km from Tirunelveli junction for that shop.we try idly poori and nannari milk.Idly is not so worth as seen in youtube videos and poori also very hard.food is very bad😞.We got disappointed for this food.Only Nannari milk is okay not so good only okay.Both coconut chutney and garlic chutney is spoiled.We ate only with sambar.Sambar is also not so good. Totally it's waste of time and energy and money to go there.So simply try some other restaurants.We came after Ifran's view and many youtube channel but it is not like in the video.Hotel food is too bad.

    Taste is very normal. Food vloggers have hyped too much. Not as expected. I ordered Podi Uthappam which was too spicy with only chilli powder, no real podi. To be honest, it should be called as Kara Uthappam. After eating that even I suffered with stomach pain.

  • 5/5 Hari H. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent home made taste. 2 people stomach full food for ₹250

  • 5/5 Harish S. 1 year ago on Google

  • 4/5 SATHYA I. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the oldest 100 yrs old small time restaurant.. homely like food. Idli is one of the best in the restaurant.

  • 4/5 Vijay M. 1 year ago on Google
    Very small place and only 4 tables Taste is homely Service is good TOMATO UTHAPPAM ONLY IN THE EVENING Nanari milk is different but not a must try. Car parking: can be parked opposite to the hotel, it's a parking lot.

    98 years old but food & service is good. Congratulations to celebrate centenary year on 2024. Tamil traditional food is being served with modern taste. The hotel is very near to Nellaiyappar temple.

  • 4/5 Yamunai S. 1 year ago on Google

  • 4/5 Senthamizh K. 6 months ago on Google
    Very Small space, only 20 people max shall be accommodated in the hotel at a time. Food is very good with hygiene, taste and very very reasonable price. No car parking, very less space - to keep in mind while going for it..

  • 4/5 rono b. 9 months ago on Google
    That thakkali oothappam and nannari milk is awesome for that alone I can give 5 star but when I went ( 2 times dinner ) they serve me Vada , Puri kelangu which is very cold and oily it seems like it prepared at mrng. So go must try the food only thakkali oothappam and nannari milk

    Good Taste, but Expensive. Available only for Breakfast & Dinner. Charging Extra for potato Curry if you order Poori masala. Overall Quality is Good.

  • 5/5 Village M. 1 year ago on Google
    500 meter walkable from nellaippar temple entrance. After darshan, I went here to take my dinner. Tried tomato oothapam, onion oothapam and nannary milk. All are unique in the area. Never tasted such foods. Tasty food with Reasonable price. Foodies must visit here for better taste.

  • 4/5 Terric F. 1 year ago on Google
    Steaming hot ♨️ insanely soft Idly topped with generous sambar, two Chutneys and with podi (Extra ₹3) all over, it was absolutely yummy! 😋 This has to be the best 👍 Idly I've had in recent times period !  Serving it right from the kitchen is the best thing. Then came the Onion uthappam, Podi uthappam, both of them tasted really wonderful! spl Tomato 🍅 Uthappam - What in the world is a Tomato Uthappam? 🤔 It got me curious!  Finally it was served like a pizza 🍕. This dosa was stuffed with some thinly sliced tomato and topped with katti chutney! this combination worked out well ! Finally got Nei Vizhangai as dessert.  Don't miss it :)

👍👍 Parotta and Naatukozhi combo at it's best. Though there are other well developed branches around the city, this is the place you can actually get the feel of having Parotta with Naatukozhi.
