    Idli is also a very good meal for the elderly.
    No chewing needed, light, filling, healthy, and heavenly.
    Started eating Ratna Cafe idlis at age 8, after visiting Marina swimming pool.
    Still continuing at age 71.
    The best Samdar Idlis.
    God Bless them

    Idly is always an emotion as you said in the video. Since it is a comfort dish for the people of south. I always wished i would try vadacurry in saidapet. I thinking of trying this anytime when I am in Chennai. But your video makes mouth watering when you talk about idiyappam and dosa. Great video accompanied with a calm music to the ears ❤

    One correction. Most people would think that the Vada Curry is made out of Fried Vadai but it is made out of Channa Dal. Also, Murugan Idly's is the worst I have had in Chennai as they use the same batter for both Idly and Dosai. You should Include Palinar to this list. The idly is made out of Rava Rice but the Idly is Yummy.

Sir, please visit Kanchipuram temple City, Thiruppukkudal street, one Kannan Sir is presenting the delicious Idly, famously known as KOYIL IDLY or KANCHIPURAM IDLY, generally distributed to the devotees,in PERUMAL temples of Kanchipuram, only during selected auspicious occasions.Previously, it was rare to see this great IDLY in hotels; nowadays some hotels are trying this idly ; KannanSir, alongwith his family, is preparing as per traditional Perumal Temple Prasadham code; he is presenting this delicious KOYIL IDLY/ KANCHIPURAM IDLY in traditional mode - Sir, this Kanchipuram Idly is NOT something ordinary; side dishes like Sambar/ Chutneys are NOT required as per temple traditions. Please try with your friends/ team members, Thiruppukkudal Street is located at the heart of the Kanchipuram City, near SRI YADHOTHAKARI PERUMAL temple, Kannan Sir and his KOYIL IDLY are very famous and you may be there at the earliest to make your viewers to taste one different IDLY.Already some good vlogs in Tamil are available in YOU-TUBE about this outlet. Best wishes for you and your team,Sir.

Time will make you understand that part. Just FYI, I am in USA for the past 25 years and I am saying my opinion after tasted the sambar last year as well. I born and brought up in Chennai before I depart to USA in 1999. Again it’s my opinion only about Ratna Cafe. “Stop Ratana Cafe..” is not a constructive way of saying.

    You should try "Idli Vadai Sambhar", IVS, they have two brances to my knowledge, one in Thiruvamyur and the other at Thoraipakkam. The one in Thoraipakkam is upscale.
    Except for Murugan Idli Kadai, I haven't tried the other nine. Will try all these on my next trip. Interestingly you did not mention A2B or Sangeetha/Geetham, in my opinion they barely pass. I am from Coimbatore and I am still going around the world to find a place which is half as good as our Annapurna 🤣😃😂

      Main reason for Annapoorna is water. Chennai does not have that kind of water. thats is just from my point of view. When they started Annapoorna in Chennai during 1993 period, they used too bring food from Coimbatore in freezer and then served hot here. Even though the taste was very good they were pricy and not able compete local hotels in chennai hence they closed it.
