best place for idlis

well when it comes to ratna i will rate higher in any south indian restaurant..well v easily located in heart of tnagar jus next to temple tirupathi. lively enviroment fresh air and amaizng idlis..i prefer ratnas any day above murgan whic was always crowded....
well ratnas are such an old place but it never lost its shade.
they keep renovated and updated in keeping with modern amenities.

really ratna is 1 best place to stop over when 1 has to go 4 idlis sambhar
n ya its hot coffee is also very famous. guys.

Old is gold!

Guys the old Rathna which was known for its sambar is not what you actually get today! After the brand was bought over few years back they have been focusing on expansion and there are even branches abroad now. The typical 'Triplicane Rathna Cafe' has its brand name only and not the taste but if you are still satisfied with the taste may be you are just getting carried away by the stories told to you :)

Good Old Place.. But New prices..

Ratna Café, Triplicane has been around for the last 3 to 4 generations. My mom’s generation used to find the place to be a nice food point.. But currently its not the same Ratna Café..

It was said to be very famous for the way they serve sambar for 2 idlis.. They serve sambar in a big Jug for 2 idlis.. And the taste also used to be very good..
Still the taste of food esp (idli+sambar) is phenomenal. “Overall Quality” to an extent is intact here..

But since it is famous and now that there is a lot of IT Crowd with hefty wallets, these guys have taken advantage and conveniently changed the price structure catering to this crowd..

Ambience, if you are looking for ambience, this is not the place to look for.. Always crowded, cramped chairs are a feature of this place.. Cleanliness is fair..

The staff are not very friendly & professional, but they are able to manage the crowd..

Best place for idly/sambar

Best place for Idly and Sambar. The traffic and parking spaces leaves a lot to be desired.

Ideally park somewhere else and take a walk to this place, otherwise you will really curse yourself.

Otherwise, a good place.
