SOWCARPET FOOD WALK!

SOWCARPET FOOD WALK



Sowcarpet, a part of North Madras is nothing like the other places in Madras.. er.. Chennai. I reached Sowcarpet on a Tuesday morning with my best friend who loves exploring food as much as I do. We wanted to try as much as we could and see what the hype is all about. I had already done a fair bit of research 😂 and had a list of things we should try.

We reached there by 10 I guess and were super hungry as we skipped breakfast. Mint street in Sowcarpet is known for its amazing food joints and we entered the mint street which has a beautiful Jain temple as well.

KAKADA RAMPRASAD

🍛 Mint Street, Sowcarpet, 348/343, Chennai, Tamil Nadu 600001




I love Dhokla for how sweet, spicy and soft it is and undoubtedly Kakada's Dhokla is one of the best I have had in Chennai and Delhi. Though I have not tasted it in Gujarat, I can safely say  that this will not disappoint you. If you are a Gujarati craving for Dhokla, Kakada Ramprasad is a must visit. 

NOVELTY TEA HOUSE


🍵 Old No.175, New No.355, Mint Street, Park Town, Chennai, Tamil Nadu 600003

A very small restaurant diagonally opposite to Kakada Ramprasad, you will probably miss this if you are a first timer in Sowcarpet without any research😂



They are famous for a huge variety of dosas and their Pav Bhaji. We were in mood for cheese and ordered cheese Pav Bhaji and Cheese Masala Dosa and relished every bit of it!
BUT DON'T EXPECT ANYTHING FROM THE CHUTNEY AND SAMBHAR!





U N ME YUMMY


🍞 90, Audiappa Naicken St, Sowcarpet, George Town, Chennai, Tamil Nadu 600108

This is a hidden gem in the streets of sowcarpet. The corn chutney cheese toast and cold chocolate are to die for! ❤


Apart from the amazing  food  you can also do shopping. Try avoiding weekends as the streets are narrow and it might get crowded. 
Unfortunately we missed the famous Kesar Lassi as it was raining that day and Kakada's Raj Kachori also as by the time it was available we were really full! 
If you are in chennai and craving something different you must visit Sowcarpet! And try walking to every food joint so that you can eat more! 

P. S. Grab a pan on your way back home!

  2. I just loved reading this yummy post. Bon appetit meaning: The French phrase is used to wish someone before they start eating a meal, to tell them you hope they enjoy their food, but one shouldn't be wishing guests "bon appétit" before they dig in.

THE LOVE FOR RATNA CAFE!

In a bustling lane in Triplicane stands a restaurant known for its magical Sambar. Magical, indeed.            I am an ardent fan of South Indian food and a day is incomplete without a South Indian breakfast.  Especially after a morning walk in the Marina you would definitely crave for an amazing breakfast and I can assure you, Ratna cafe serves the best❤          But try avoiding the peak hours as the sambar is not at its best. It was heartbreaking (yes, that is how much I love this place) to hear my family call the sambar 'okay' and this was just because we visited it on a Sunday morning when the place was packed. The staff also had a tough time. So try visiting on other days of the week and I assure you, you will not be disappointed. I visited the triplicane branch thrice and their breakfast menu is simple yet amazing! From idlies in the pool of sambar to aromatic ghee roast every single dish is simple and flavorful! MUST TRY Their Idlies of course! Try
