National Lodge - Sowcarpet - Chennai

Walking through the busy streets of Sowcarpet, Parrys, you reach a nondescript three storey building with an equally nondescript name board.


On entering, you are surrounded by people waiting in queue for a table to be seated. There is both A/C and Non A/c seating available.

Signature food is the meals they serve for lunch. It is a typical vegetarian, Andhra meals.

For less than INR 50/- the meals is really worth it. Starts off with lentil powder (parupu podi) and sour greens pickle (gongura) with rice and ghee. There are three other gravies to mix with rice, including rasam, sambar and mor kolumbu (majjiga pulusu). Thre are papads (appalam), dried chilli(mor molaga vathal) and a couple of dry veg side dishes. To complete the fare there is curd, butter milk and a sweet.

Reco - Must Visit (especially if you like South Indian Veg fare, even otherwise try it out, you'll like it!)
