A Tradition of Flavor
Since 1969 – A Legacy of Authentic Taste
Established in Chidambaram in 1969 by Founder, Late Shri N.S. Lakshminarayana Bhat, the restaurant has been serving traditional South Indian dishes for decades. In 1978, his son, Late Shri N.L. Subramanya Bhat, brought in his experience from Coimbatore.
Over the next few decades, the restaurant earned a reputation for its Tamil Nadu-style cuisine, attracting customers, especially temple visitors & Locals alike. Some of the restaurant’s special dishes include Dahi Vada, Idli Gothsu, Badam Halwa, Cashew Halwa, Masala Vada, Tavala Vada, Pakoda, and Kadamba Bajji, all rooted in South Indian flavors and tradition.
The restaurant expanded with a second branch on East Car Street in 2000, but it was closed in 2012. The family eventually moved to Bengaluru in January 2012 to continue their culinary journey.
