Last night we took some friends and family to the Rasam Restaurant in Purasawalkam (off Poonamallee High Road near Dasprakash). This restaurant is from the famous Sri Krishna Sweets group and specializes in Kongu Nadu cuisine (Kongu Nadu is the region in and around Coimbatore in Tamilnadu). We ordered many of the Kongu Nadu specialties. Food was authentic, tasty and the service was very good.  The prices were economical for a specialty restaurant. Another thing we observed is the nice decor and ambience – they have converted a old palatial building into this restaurant and have outfitted with old photographs, old newspaper clippings.  Amongst the local cuisines, Kongu Nadu cuisine is not that popular compared to Chetti Nadu and others. So its nice to see a good restaurant occupying this niche.  .

    Yummy. I always enjoyed the variety at Chennai. Annalakshmi, Das Dosa, Woodlands, Mathura, Mansukhs(T Nagar), numerous marwari food joints at Mint Street (if one can park the car and return without a dent)..awesome..
