Heard about this from Instagram bloggers and radio ads, wanted to try it out. Went in for lunch on Friday to taste their Kalyana Sapaadu. It was an overall good experience. The food was tasty, fresh and well cooked. If I may point out a disappointment- it was the presentation - I would have liked the food to be served on plantain leaf and not on a plate. Another disappointment was the price of the lunch - for the number of items served, this was bit costly. Nevertheless as mentioned before the food was tasty and fresh. Enjoyed the meal thoroughly and came back home for a nice weekend mid day nap 😃.

It's a cosy cafe in Old Dubai and I went in for dinner last week with my parents. My dad literally said 'BEST MASALA DOSA I EVER HAD' and that is saying something! We tried the Masala Dosa, Chilli Uttapam, Rawa Khichdi and some South Indian style Jalebis. They have got the flavors spot on for every single dish we tried and we can't wait to go back.<br/><br/>The staff was super friendly and attentive. The menu includes North Indian options as well for those who don't want only South Indian options. During Covid, they also have launched a Chennai wedding feast menu which includes a buffet of dishes that you just can't stop eating. And I think the best part is the prices! They are so competitive and not something you find easily in Dubai.

One of the best places to try cuisine from Tamil Nadu a state from South of India. The name taken from one of the famous cities in Chennai. That is the lifeline of millions of people who live and work in the city. The themed restaurant does justice to the name and they serve really good, feel at home soul food,

Feedback on their traditional Kalyana Virundhu. This traditional virundhu has taken me back to my hometown days. Felt like I attended a marriage function. Enjoyed every single thing from the menu. Perfect quality vegetarian meal with healthy varieties. Value for money. Meal included white rice, chapati with chickpeas kurma, Sambar, rasam, vathal kuzhambu, more kuzhambu, porial, thayir vadai, thuvaiyal, parupu podi with ghee, pappad, tamarind rice, juice, sweet, yogurt, pickle, snacks and mint mango (sorry if I've missed any item). Came with the perfect presentation and I really missed to click the picture. Can't wait to order this meal again.

Beetroot?<br/><br/>May I suggest adding a little chopped onions to the vada batter and get the outer layer bit more crisp?<br/><br/>Keep up the good work. 👍🏼

No vada in mini tiffin. Every other restaurant serves vada along and free coffee. May be cost cutting , but absolute shame . Hope the owner realises this mistake before it’s too late. Take care my friend .Poor waiter behavior quantity is too less for the price they charge. I recommend that the owner see Aryaas , sarava bhavan quality and service and learn . coffee is not hot .

New South Indian food joint in Karama. The place is divided among two shops, makes it confusing where would you go and sit and delays the service a bit. However the food quality is fine and you can surely enjoy dosa, vadas and filter coffees at this tamil food joint. Service is OK, can be improved.

Tnagar Café is a newly opened, 100% vegetarian Tamilian restaurant in Karama. Every single one of their seventeen staff members have recently flown in from some part of Tamil Nadu – Vaṇakkam! My special thanks to @abu.curly for flagging this hidden gem. Located a few doors down from the original Tamarind Terrace on 7B Street in Karama, Tnagar is more restaurant than café and is split in two by a small eatery called Urban Fusion. Those familiar with that part of Karama will know that there is plenty of RTA parking available. An added bonus for people seeking to enjoy Dubai’s winter weather is that Tnagar has set up an outdoor dining where I had my din-dins.

Not value for money and when you order 2 saada dosa separately you are supposed to get separate chutney sambar but these people will give just 1 small chutney and sambar and when you call them they don't answer calls and they to justify...is this the way to treat your customers....shitiest place and will not order again...

Every time I crave for South Indian food this is restaurant has been my go to. Feels like home . I stay in Difc and there’s no Zomato for the most of South Indian restaurants. But my favorite is now delivering and I couldn’t have been more over the moon. I can practically have it every single day and yet not upset my stomach. Their packaging is on point maintaining highest hygiene standards . So if you crave for the fluffiest idli dosa vada and the best sambhar this is restaurant is your savior..

If anyone knows me best, the one thing I absolutely can never have enough of would be Sambhar! I mean as told by my mom this was the stepping stone of my entry into trying out solids as a little tiny destructible baby so that would explain a lot. This year I had planned to go to the birthing place of this fabulous dish myself but with unprecedented times like these like all of our grand plans for the year 2020 this one fell through as well. 😦

We ordered breakfast today from T. Nagar Cafe, expecting some good South Indian food. We were totally disappointed as the quality of food was Poor. MYSORE Masala Dosa was the worst we have ever had, the sambar packed in plastic container was broken. Called the hotel to complain but they were trying to justify.<br/>Of late we have noticed that when orders are placed through Zomato, either the quality of food is not the same as compared to what you get in the restaurant or the portions are lesser.<br/>Is this because of the high fee or service charges the restaurants pay Zomato. Should the quality of food remain different while ordering through Zomato?

Chanced upon this restaurant and must say it is a great find for all South Indian vegetarian food lovers <br/><br/>Ample paid parking is available in front of the restaurant.The restaurant interiors were clean and the service was efficient <br/><br/>The food we tasted are as follows <br/><br/>Plantain Bhaji : The Bhaji was very good and served with chutneys and sambar(4/5)<br/>Medhu vada :The vada was made fresh and tasted delicious ( 4/5)<br/>Ghee roast : Crispy dosa (4/5)<br/>Rava idly :Could have been better (4/5)<br/>Bun porotta : Freshly prepared unlike some of the others who heat an already prepared parrota (4/5)<br/>Adai avial : Did not like the Adai and lacked the taste of authentic Adai ( 2/5)<br/>Kozhukkatai : Decent size bit was not hot ( 3/5)<br/>Wheat halwa : Was a real dampener and did not taste anywhere close to the authentic sweet (1/5)<br/><br/>Recommend the restaurant for South Indian tiffin items

A small, well appointed restaurant. Food was very tasty. We tried few south Indian and north Indian items and all are good. Very courteous and attentive staff. Few points could be improved, like the Rava idli was tasty but not hot, bun parotta was served with paneer kurma, for sure it's not the traditional combo <br/>

Very delicious food with a variety of dishes truly representative of authentic south indian wedding food. Had the chance to try both the Wedding and Reception feast and enjoyed them both. The both feasts came with many delectable dishes and had multiple items. Also liked the snack packets given with the Reception food. Reminiscent of traditional food I had eaten while living in Chennai. Would eat again!
