Matsya - Egmore Review
One of the best Udipi restaurant. With a seating capacity of 120 people, this Matsya in Egmore is sure to grab your attention, if you walk past the Police Commissioners office. Dont get carried away by the name. The name have come from the first avatar of Maha Vishnu, Machavatar - Matsya. The hotel though is advertised as Udipi hotel, it is a multicuisine Veg restaurant.
With no parking space, you are forced to park your vehicle just in the side roads. But you will find the ambience simply great and appealing once you step inside the restaurant. Go there at any time between 7.30am to 12 midnight, you will be treated to the chillness of Airconditioner always. Yes it is an AC restaurant.
What you get to eat here is something simply unbeleivable for the price you give. The rasa vadas are great starters. Soft vadas soaked in mint and coriander rasam. You can have the small balls of kuli appam and Manglore bondas before you start off with your full meal. These starters are the first course of the four course meal of the special Udipi thali served here. Then comes the thayir appam or the Manglore appam.
The second course is the two different kinds of dosas (you get that days special).
The third course is Bisibela bath, one of the mixed rice (either tamrind rice, or coconut rice or lemon rice) and curd rice. All these comes with choice of vegetable side dishes.
Then comes the deserts: fruits and nuts soaked in honey and Neer Dosa served with coconut and jaggery mix.
You will feel absolutely full and there is nothing more to compare than this. You also get north Indian and chinese food. But if you want Udipi meals then it is better to go for the Udipi special thali served here.
