Hotel Aryas, Vellore

This 'pure veg' restaurant is located on the service lane of NH 45 in the junction leading to Katpadi.  One is welcomed by a number of people, seemingly part of the management's family, and are directed to your table.
Service is a bit slow in terms of cleaning tables that have been vacated.  As in any such highway restaurant, one can find a few waiters who cough or sneeze as they go around with the dishes.  (Thank God for small mercies - the one attending to me did not cough / sneeze).  
Both a/c and non a/c sections are available.  And both meals and Indian (predominanatly South Indian) tiffin items and juices are available.
I had a veg meals for lunch on my way to Chennai from Bangalore.  It was simple and good.Not very spicy with an assortment of dishes.  There was sambar, rasam, mor kozumbu and a lentils gravy to mix the rice with.  There was kootu, a dry vegetable preperation, papad (appalam), lime pickle and a semi gravy onion preperation as side dishes.  
A veg meals in the non A/c section comes to INR 34, including a cup of curds made available on payment of INR 5 extra.
Not bad to catch a quick bite - may even improve your immunity!!
