My mom, her siblings, and parents used to stay in puraswalkam (20+ years) and used to regularly eat from this place. Took everyone for breakfast on Saturday and the place was packed to the hilt. The reason was quite obvious once we got our food as every dish was amazing. The sambhar and especially the kara chutney were downright awesome, and my mom and her sisters said the taste was as brilliant as ever. We had idly, vadai, ghee roast, nei podi dosai, poori, masala dosai, parotta kurma. The vadai was crisp to perfection on the outside and soft on the inside. Please dont go here expecting to be doted upon by the waiters, they do a fast and neat job because of the crowd, any request of extra chutney or sambhar is addressed. The kurma for the parotta was a bit on the softer side for my taste but was enjoyed by others.

The sambhar is awesome. One of the must try places in Chennai for breakfast. Filter coffee is top notch

My husband and I went in the morning for breakfast. It was tightly packed as it was a Saturday. You don’t have servers to help you with seating, you need to watch out for empty tables yourself. But the service was quick. We ordered the iconic Idly, sambar and vada and it was really good(I personally love Udupi/Bangalore sambar) and Vada was crisp with a soft center but dosa and sambar was okay-ish coz the sambar felt very sweet when I had with dosa. Filter coffee was amazing too. If you go early before 9:30 am you can enjoy the food as the food gets saturated(especially sambar) after 9:30 because of the crowd. Overall, it was worth the price(we paid 250 for 2 plates for idly vada and one plate dosa). If you like Bangalore sambar, you will really enjoy this place 👍

Visited this place after reading all the hypes on social media & zomato. Was really eager to taste their sambar, as thats been the talk of the topic everywhere. I was a little late for breakfast time, went around 11.15 but went ahead and ordered couple of idlis for myself and the wife. Ourself & the couple who sat opposite to us were the last to order idli was the last I presume because after which the waiter said idli is over. Had to wait sometime and then came the idli. Though I understand it was past 11, but surprisingly the idli wasn't hot at all. Neither was the sambar too. Idli could have been an already made one, but they did not even have hot sambar. Coming to the taste part. Sambar wasn't worth all the gaga and hypes at all. It was tasty I give you that, but I know places that have better sambar that you can just drink, it's that tasty. This was just one those home made types taste. So that was a disappointment. For the next order I went for sambar idly and the wife had poori masala. Poori was good and sambar vada was also nice. But again the usual taste. Closed off and asked for bill. To my surprise, idli was charged per piece. And about 16 Rs for an Idli!! That's pricey. I even had a doubt if I was charged for the opposite couple who ordered idli and confirmed with the waiter but it was per piece and I was charged for 4 pcs. Well overall, a not bad experience. Will I go back? Well, if in purasaiwakkam and looking for a pure veg hotel, then yes.

Welcome Hotel. Purasawakkam. Chennai. This hotel was in our bucket list for a long time. There were raving reviews in social media about this outlet, especially about their idli sambar (projected as a competitor to Rathna cafe). The hotel is situated in a Main road - purasawakkam. Parking 0* (forget 2/4 wheeler Parking, there is no place even to stand !) Ambience 2* Reception and hospitality 2* (too crowded) Hygiene and clealiness 2* Service 2* (servers are too busy and too overworked) Menu choice 4* Taste and flavour 4* Value for money 4* Hotel remains jam packed always. Not suitable for family dining. May be good for solo dining, when you can wait and find a place to sit. Typically, they serve a set of idli and pour a cup of sambar over it. Sambar flavour is tangy, tasty and up to the mark. Poori was routine stuff. Pocket friendly for solo dining. Try once (or often) if you can withstand the stampede !

Not as good as the hype created. Just a good restaurant. Crowded because conveniently located between the two biggest textile showrooms in Purasawalkam. It is known for its sambar but the sambar is more like that of Udipi restaurant , with a bit of sweet taste . Not really good

Most of the customer in google review posted it has a unhygenic to get food from here and not respecting the customers and not maintain neatness. Before order here go through all the google review and then order.

Not worth the false hype. Everything was served cold. The place is very unhygenic, staves are ignorant.
