if you like this cuisine you must try annapoorani on cambridge road in ulsoor. its not as cheap as krishna cafe but the quality and authenticity is out of this world. weekday lunches are popular and evening tiffin is yummy with the pongal, adais, akki rotis and ghee roasts. mondays a holiday though so be aware

I happened to be at Krishna Kafe on its inagural day. At that time it used to cost me Rs 40/- per meal and their partner (who is now in the USA) made sure that I put on weight (and I did). They hired cooks (or rather chefs) from Mylapore, Chennai. I am glad that KK still serves same quality food till date though the prices have increased with inflation and I stopped frequenting due to work pressures. I am sure it should be worth it.

Hi “The Marauder’s Map” , “rajagopal”

I am an andhraite who had been in chennai for quite some time. Apart from some diff that rajagopal has pointed out, The diff between the andhra and tamil food is that you begin with sidedishes in andhra meals. In tamil meals you start with sambar. paruppu(not the plain paruppu) is the main course in andra meals and sambar is an additional item in andhra food.

I stay in Delhi and have south indian food in only Sagar Ratna. Nice to be aware of it though.

How much do these “unlimited meals” cost at the Sri Krishna Kafe?

rajagopal,

Most brahmins south of the Vindhyas, by tradition, do not use onion/garlic in their cooking. The Veerashaiva/Lingayats of Karnataka dont prefer it either.

And the food was okay, IMO, except for the plantain leaf that accompanies it, not a patch on what MTR provides.

Another suggestion –
you should try out the mouli’s annapurni restaurant in Cambridge layout.
Their food is as good as Krishna Kafe, if not better.

@The Marauder’s Map: Tamilians (Tam Brams in particular) prefer not to have garlic in their rasam. That might be one difference.
Any meal without paruppu podi (powder made of grams and assorted spices), Mango pickle or Gongurra pickle is definitely not an andhra meal.
In general, an Andhra meal is much hotter than a Tamilian style vegetarian meal, but just as tasty.
