Best tiffins, specially idly and podi combination , must try in Chennai

I have ordered spl tiffen via swiggy, which had a worst uthappam with an enormous size and two idily and one Vada with 3 rotten (Kettu ponna) chatney and sambar. Don't choose for brand, i don't know how they selling like this, who orders food by giving money. These people are unfit to be in food business.

Authentic south Indian food with taste of murugan idli franchise. This is though one of the small outlets, but has about 10+ tables. There is also parking outside. Nice and friendly staff and good service.

Quality is not up to the mark and also they do not give the right quantity. Please see the picture. They have given one table spoon of Raitha for a parcel of one Veg Biryani. My mistake i did not check then and there, next time i will.. However, no value for Money. Except idlly and vasa, overall food is not at par and also worst service.

Being located in the busy road of main market area of Nanganallur,this place has become a landmark. Ambiance is good,place is hygienic,staffs are courteous and always in a mood to feed you more with frequently exhibiting fresh idlis,vadas,paniyaram and Pongal. Not much pricey,but quantity is slightly less compared to the price. Food is not super yummy,but the dining experience is good. Overall recommended.

wonderful option for breakfast. Here, all of the food is hot and freshly prepared. The refills of chutney, sambar, and rasam are a major plus. extremely sanitary and clean. Service is typically swift unless you arrive around lunch rush hour. The best part is getting to chase the chutneys around the traditional banana leaf dish; this restaurant is one of the few that still serves customers in this way.

The price is a little high compared to the other places but the food is good. The podi idli was good and soft. Sambar vada was amazing. Pongal was also delicious. There was generous amount of sambar and chutney given with the items. And the packaging was also good. They gave it in a banana leaf too so it was better cause it was delivered. Anyways it was good food.

Neat and clean restaurant with good service. Food quality is good and the price is reasonable. My favorite is podi ghee idly.

Great vegetarian option for breakfast. About 10 mins from the Nanganallur temple. The place has limited seating options. So that can be a pain at times. They have good variety of breakfast options. Plan to be surprised with the options. They are decent and hygienic food. Great filter coffee as well.

Murugan Idli is a well-known restaurant chain in India, and their veg tiffen varieties are nothing short of amazing.

The quality and taste of the food at Murugan Idli are top-notch, making it a go-to place for a delightful vegetarian breakfast or brunch.

Murugan Idly nanganallur is well known for a very long time. The place has a limited parking place for two wheelers and separate parking for cars in adjacent roads. The seating arrangement is divided as per four people and there is a separate party hall available on the first floor as well. The dishes were served hot and the taste was very good. The podi used in the dishes were especially tasty. Sweet Pongal particularly is worth mentioning because of its mouth watering taste. One can also try podi dosa, podi idly as well as kuli paniyaram. I personally felt that jigarthanda here was overhyped having tasted better ones from other famous places. But that is my personal opinion and many people really like the Jigarthanda served here. I also felt the pricing was slightly on the higher side. So an experience worth trying for vegetarian people when you are in the nanganallur area. Happy eating🤓

One of the best vegetarian restaurants I have ever visited without doubts. It is clean and have a nice atmosphere. Service is good, staff members are really active and always ready to fill the platter immediately as soon as we request. Their ghee podi idly was the ultimate dish what I had. It was really tasty. Their jigarthanda was also good, but not the best. I meant in dindagal thalappakatti restaurants jigarthanda is better as per my opinion. Prices are not that much cheap comparing with the portions, just ok. Overall nice place to have a south indian meal, highly recommended!

The shop ambience is good where as the food and Service is bad. Bought Dosas for take out, had to wait for 35 mins for it. Where in almost 60-70 dosas went for dine in. The chutney's went bad rotten all 3 Chutney went bad . Don't they know when to make fresh set of Chutneys and side dishes. Very dissatisfied with Long wait time all to get Bad and rotten chutneys..

Loved the restaurant. We were in Chennai for a night and were looking forward to nostalgia at Murugan. Very cheery place and has a good ambience. Variety of South Indian delicacies to cater for the entire family

Today I visited this shop. Food was good. One of the item I ordered was just onion uthapam. But when bill came it was ghee onion uthapam. They told it comes with ghee default. I told them I didn't even taste ghee in that then why I should pay extra. After several arguments he reduced 20rs per dosa. Even if some amount of ghee was there I would have paid. Be aware of this CHEATING restaurant. The manager behaviour is worse and doesn't have customer service at all.

I have heard about this south Indian food join but never got chance to experience one till recent. During my Chennai trip this we try one for lunch. We were not very hungry but just to experience we went. The restaurant is nice and clean with very modern culture feel. We ordered Ghee podi roast dosa and filter coffee both were great at very reasonable prices. Service was good and on-time staff is humble and helping. Really enjoyed our experience here. Must try Murgun Idli if you are looking for good south meals.

One of the Best Authentic taste of South Indian Food, Chutney are Special, Once you have it, You cannot Forget. I am thinking to Visit Chennai Just for Murugan Idli Restaurant.

Murgan idli shop - one of my favourites for the authentic South Indian food. Dosas, Pongal (khara n sweet), jigarthanda (one stuff you don’t get in most places), the different variety chutneys all just makes the place even more admirable. This time the coffee was not at its best, else I would have rated 5/5. The place is always neat and the team available for the service also does a decent job. This Shop need not be suggested to any Chennaites. This is a must visit. They will never disappoint you. 😊

As well we know murugan idli as a brand...but I have visited the nanganallur branch ...it was an overrated hotel in chennai...better try somewhere for breakfast...Sambar chutney was not at the expected level...@Murugan idli kadai please reconsider your food taste and service...

Excellent authentic South Indian food served on banana leaf

Good place to visit. Food quality is good. Ambience is okay. There are only two things to watch out - only 2-3 cars can be parked ( though the security is very prompt and supportive ) and lunch times during weekends are bit hectic, service would be delayed.

Ambience- 4/5 Food- 4/5 Service- 3/5

Great quality food as always but the place is bit small compared to other branches. Serving chutney could have been faster.

Ordered multigrain dosa as a take away. The cashier was rude to us. We could see the waiters being patient but this cashier was not giving a polite response. We opened the parcel at home and saw that it was not even multigrain dosa but looked like an Adai. Highly disappointed with this!!

DONT GO THIS RESTAURANT! SUCH A WASTE PLACE. FOOD IS SO AVERAGE AND ON TOP OF THAT WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE! I went with my family and after having dinner, we ordered jigardanda. We waiting for almost half n hour but no sight of it. Suddenly the waiter asked us to leave the table so that he can accommodate other people. How rude and humiliating! We had not finished our dinner..but we were asked to move from the table ! And when we asked them to cancel the jigardanda, they showed so much attitude! When you can't provide proper service, close your outlet and leave! Such a nasty behaviour! I felt horrible, after paying so much, this is not what I expect! To be asked to move from table while I'm still having my dinner was extremely rude behaviour!

Ghee podi onion Uthappam was my meal and it was Good. But, wasn't as good as the one I had at T Nagar outlet of Murugan Idli Served with 4 Chutneys, I personally liked the Mint & Coconut chutneys. Eating sambar from the Banana leaf is itself tricky, eating without a spoon a difficult proposition.

One of the well maintained restaurants around with good staple South Indian food My regular breakfast place for idli and dosa. Just the best and the people servicing are also quite ok. The orders do get delivered fairly on time Overall would rate them 5 star if you are looking for good breakfast and tiffin. The chutney options are quite cool as well

One of the finest place in Chennai to have the authentic South Indian Food.

Not hygienic. Bought jigarthanda. It had a mosquito in it. For the cost we pay, hygiene should be maintained well. But it is not the case here.

Good food especially idly (new entry mapillai samba red Rice idly) and good variety of chutneys. Very high pricing and slow service. Surprising to note that Pongal was pathetic...

Not nice... Taste is not to the expectations.... I miss old Murugan idli shop....

Had Onion rava and Madurai halwa. Madurai halwa was fresh and it was tasty. Would recommend this. Onion rava was superb. Crispy and tasty. Worth the money. Frequent Sambar and chutney top-up by the server.

Murugan idli shop keeps upto it's name of delivering exceptional food quality. Even in these difficult times they have managed to deliver a consistently good quality product which is highly commendable. Although the staff was short but they were warm and generous in offering us food items and not to mention the delectable chutneys. Although the place is still picking up business and wasn't a lot busy on the day we visited but I'm sure they will pick up business very soon. All the best !

Bored of normal idli??? try this ghee podi bomb, you'll forget normal idli!!!!!

Best hotel for breakfast, Idly Dosa and Vada were excellent! The 3 chutneys were also very good. Its a bit expensive though.

Hot and soft Idllis.The best you can get.Helpful staff. Basic decor and hygienic seating.

>Car parking available only for 3or 4 cars. > Normal Ambiance. > Good Food quality. > Must try< Chakarai pongal. >Neat and clean toilet > Party hall available

A great south indian joint for special dishes like podi idly, sweet pongal

The food is good as always. They have opened the first floor as well to accommodate more people which is commendable. But one con is billing section is very very slow. We waited for more than 15 minutes to pay the bill downstairs.

A brand by itself, the service is great & options to pick are also abundant. The prices are a little on the higher side, so please consider your budget before you try this place out.

The crunch of manpower. Cashier himself acted as Server. Does NOT how to serve. Taste wise also not up to Mark.

Ambience is very clean. Price is as expected since it is a well known brand. Overall good place to stop by.

Tired the podi ghee dosa and idly. They were good. Sweet pongal was the best!

Taste of ghee podi idly is awesome

Taste is superb. Only enhancement needed is quick service. Too much delay in servicing

Murugan Idli shop is always Awesome.. the taste is really good.. They offer South Indian traditional food Chakara Pongal which will be delicious.

One of the best and affordable vegetarian South Indian eateries in the locality. Their podi onion uthappam and jigarthanda are a must try. Cordial staff but wait times might be a tad long on Friday evenings. Overall, a nice experience!

Best. No ither word can describe this place.

Today we visited your Nanganallore branch where we had a very bad experience about the food quality & coffee. Theidlis were of v mediocre quality and the Chutneys were going bad. The coffee served was a brown bitter water. Money spent was a waste and we will never recommend to others.

This place is very famous and probably was one of my favorite breakfast joint. Today(30/03) I went there but this time my experience was a bit disappointing. The taste deteriorated. The vada was ice cold. Apart from sambar and sweet Pongal rest of them was very disappointing 😞.

The service can be fast and the availability of seats are very few.. the food tastes good though.. parking is not available at peak hrs

No need to discuss about the taste, it's always awesome. The customer service is very very nice. Actually the same morning we had a very bitter experience in another famous chain of restaurant, even for a bottle of water we had to wait for 20 minutes. Very poor service, even there was no crowd at all. We were the only customer, still they didn't care about us. So we walked out from that hotel and went to Murugan Idly, here the service was very nice. Hat's off to the Management and the team.

The place was more than half empty when I went in, must be coz of the time as I had gone around 10.30. Had Ghee Podi Idli, Masala Vadai, Masala Dosai and Jigirthanda. Ghee Podi Idli was too good, vadai was okay, masala dosa was okay, Jigirthanda had too much ice in it.

When you say Murugan Idly I hear Podi Idly and the butter paneer dosa. And of course the jigarthanda is also equally good. Somehow have sticked to same menu for years One of the biggest complaints I however have is the massive increase in prices when it comes to online ordering - to add the delivery charges and packing charges you end up paying almost 60 percent more than the actual cost. A big thumbs down for that.
