Though a touch on higher side of price, the quality continues to be very good and quantity was less.. At the end of the dish, we feel we want more.. :)

It was once upon a time the cheapest hotel in Chennai. When I was in Std 8, Idiyappam was Rs.3 per plate and the cheapest in Chennai. Today they are one of the costliest hotel for their range. Mini Tiffin does not include vada or coffee and the pricing is way too high.

Rather over-priced. Food is decent but not great. Certainly low value for money. Service staff keep hovering but not in a good way; basically to get you to eat, pay, and get out so someone else can occupy your seat. And when will they ever serve coffee that isn't already lukewarm, no matter how much you entreat?
