Karpakambal Mess

Being a local, I have always enjoy getting take away, sometimes dining here for breakfast or lunch or dinner. Place can be little more spacious as there is always a huge crowd in this place. They don't have any other branches. Pongal Vada is awesome with spicy chutney combinations. Filter coffee is different level. Vathakulambu taste is still lingering in my memory. Most of their dishes are served hot and is of good quality and taste! Bit pricey but the quality is met! Even for a curd rice, it's yum! Highly recommend place for South Indian food lovers. Anytime you visit Mylapore, check this out and you will understand about their food quality!

Neat and clean ambience. Must try tiffin items and coffee but bit costly. We had 2 sets of poori, standard peas was included in their masal. Parking for two wheelers and cars on road only. Service was quick and polite. Its near the kabaleshwarar temple. They do a good initiative by placing a bowl of water and a tub of pedigree for street dogs at their entrance.

Easily identifiable place just near Car( தேர் முட்டி). Just opposite to RASI Sillks. No car parking. Govt paid parking only. At present ₹40 for 2 hours. Tiffin is always available here. Excellent food. But very costly. One poli is costing ₹120/- Adai aviyal and poli - don't miss. Mini lunch ie. Mixed rice and all Disa, etc items are available. Air-conditioned room is inside. Good service. Wash area is OK. Could be better. Small kids cannot wash their hands. Toilet is not at all good. Bad. Unless otherwise emergency, Pl don't try to use.

Very close to the Kabaleeshwar temple and One of the finest authentic eateries in town. Podi dosa or any dosa with sambar is a must try. Idiyappam and Kurma was really good so as the badam halwa. Don’t ever miss the coffee. Price wise it’s expensive, it was really hot and fan wasn’t sufficient to cool us down. If you opt for AC option you have to pay 20rs extra on all items, menu is available in their website. Try it once or couple more times for an excellent taste but do not experiment.

Iconic place to eat. "Karpagambal mess since 1953", 70 years... unbelievable. Old traditional building, this place looks like a temple, and the food served is as tasty as prasadam. Tried their hot, bulky, medu vada. Crispy outside and totally soft inside. Next was 'Soji appam', a unique sweet. It is similar to the Poli/ BOLI but with kesari stuffing. The podi dosa was ultimate. And all this ended well with a traditional style Mundhiri cake (cashew sweet). This restaurant is located relatively on a broader road compared to other narrow streets of Mylapore. Car parking is available on the side of the entire street.
