As always, food was very good. Crowd management could be a lot better. Last night there was a queue of about 20 people waiting for tables and we could see 2 tables with single occupant. A bit of planning could have made more optimal use of the table seats

Located near by shopping streets.I prefer to have tiffin or meals if we go for shopping with family.Idly is soft as they continue to keep this as same.Dosai , Pongal,panniyaram items are good in taste.Their onion (small) uthappam is very good and with podi it gives much more taste.Jigathanda is must try desert.The price is much higher than other similar hotels and they should reduce the price some what affordable but the quality is good.

Review №11

Murugan Idlis origins are in Madurai, a fact all the 12 outlets proudly proclaim. And they have reason to be proud as their idlis are the softest, tastiest and come accompanied by a variety of chutneys and sambar

Ar
Review №12

A good hotel to have an authentic South Indian breakfast, the Idlys are soo soft and it tastes great with the four varieties of chutneys .The Sambar is just average imo, Podi Idly is a must try here once we take a bite of it we can feel the heat of spicy Idly powder with a generous layer of ghee which makes the Idly melt in our mouth.

Murgan idli shop, the name itself mention idly is famous here. Super soft idly especially podi idly with ghee is ultimate. Multiple branches in chennai all are same quality and taste. Other than idly, dosa vaerity is awesome and good taste.Atlast jigarthanda is extraordinary, one full cup of jigarthanda can full our tummy. Everyone must try this if you visit murgan idly shop.

Review №28

There are lots of idli shops.. Then there is murugan idli.. Admittedly it has gone down over the years but stay long enuf and the smiles of servers come out and the beautiful food begins to flow.. Things come to you as a random impulse decisions.. Ones that you are glad that you made.This has been a two decade association..One dish I definitely recommend is onion butter uthappam. Insane it is.

The name you can trust. Compare other food outlets the price of lunch is somewhat less. I had lunch for 120 rupees. They provide koottu, poriyal, saambaar, kara kulambu, paruppu nei, appalam, sweet and butter milk. Taste is good. But idlies are costly, reason is different varieties of chutnies

Poor service, they say the vada is hot and served us cold and dried up vada, since it placed on our leaf they wouldnt replace. Dont trust them, all they want is to put the food on your plate and make you pay whether you like or not

Review №38

There is a reson that when you ask locals where to get tasty idlis in channai, 9/10 say Murugan Idli!Tasted the Ghee Podi idli, Ghee Sada Dosa and the Ghee Idli! Please see the accompanying pictures to imagine how good these were!All meals are served on traditional banana leaves with 4 different Chutneys and hot fresh Sambar.They also sell their dry Podi in sealed bottles! Highly recommended those too!Definitely coming back soon to try everything else on the menu.

Review №45

This was the first time I went to Murugan idly shop. The idly was delicious and more authentic. They provided four chuttnes for idly which no one will provide. It was healthy and tasty. I ordered 3 more idlys because of its taste and quality. My friend ordered Pongal which was different level with perfectly cooked with awesome taste. Finally we drank jigerdanda which is special in Murugan idly. And parceled to my home. I recommend for everyone who looks for authentic and tasty food. Price was also very average. Service was good and quick.

Location: this place is located between joyalukkas and GRT gold house.Here we need to help ourselves to fill the water in glass. Chutney varieties do exist, but I dont their taste to be great.As the name says, idly is their signature dish, anytime u go here, hot idly awaits you. Apart from this all other tiffen items are available here.Ambience is ok, service is good and dining space is small.Taste wise food is good. Costing is on the higher side. They even serve meals in 2nd floor.Washroom facility needs way more attention and improvement for its customers.PS: here they charge extra bucks for idly podi and its oil. (10bucks)

When it comes to food the taste is delicious and there is variety of food available but the place is very crowded during peak hours and at around 3 PM most of the menu items will be finished. So I was disappointed when even meals was not available when I visited (they asked me to wait as the rice was in final stage of cooking). Its a decent hotel with courteous staff and very clean.

The best idlli shop in Chennai for idli,podi idli,podidosai,podi uthappam, jigarthanda.they got many outlets in Chennai all the shops are run by a single owner . The one only problem about this shop is their pricing for a single idli they charge 17₹ and podi idli 30₹ and podi uthappam almost 100₹ 😂 if you are ready to spend then no problem. The food is great no ambiance .

Review №78

Food is good and tasty except for the coconut chutney. It tasted funky. The service is good and keep refilling the banana leaf with chutney even if you dont want. As a foreign like me check before what you would like to order and the quantity if not they will put a lot on the table and of course you will have to pay for it. Also check your printed bill before you pay just in case. Other that that good place to eat local food. I highly recommend the onion uttappam and medhu vadai (in the picture) . Have a nice meal!

Review №84

One of best Idli and sweet Pongal I have had in recent times. We arrived here on a Sunday morning and it was crowded, however we got a table in a few mins. Nobody reaches out to you to get you a table , a old fashioned hotel on many counts.The chutney and powder were awesome!! But the sweet Pongal made with ghee and jaggery takes the cake. Customer service is quick. No dedicated parking so you need to find parking in the by lanesI have added a pic of the menu for price reference.Overall , if you are an ardent fan of Idlis and Tamil breakfast this a must visit!!

If I am in Chennai I make sure I go here atleast once. This place gives an authentic experience of the South Indian cuisine specially in idli, wada and dosa. They will serve 3-4 different types of chutneys and sambhar. Its always crowded and if you go on a weekend be ready to wait and at times depending on how many of you are there, you probably might end up sharing the table as well. Its not very cheap, dont have any expectation of a fine dine. There is a possibility that the staff might not understand English but will be able to communicate with you. The one serving us always had a smile on him. You dont get plate but a banana leaf as is the traditional way. Do try their podi idli and podi onion uttappa.
