The only problem with the Rangoli Thali is that u just cant finish it. Beware, readers u need to starve yourself for abt a day to be ready for this colorful meal.. Everything in the thali is UNLIMITED, for only rs 180/- per head. U start of with the Jaljeera and khaman dhokla, which u simply cant resist!!.A whole lot of starters are yet to follow. Next comes chappatis and puris and khichdi(only for dinner)buttermilk,salad, custard,rice 2-3 varieties of dhal,3 varieties of curry, curd, papad,
A La carte is also available.
So go ahead and give it a try !

I am a North Indian and had to stay in Chennai for a month on official visit. Was very worried and fellow colleagues had been making fun of me saying "get ready for 56 type of sambhars".
I read the reviews on this site and thought of trying this outlet. It is in the Pondy Market area.
I ordered thali which costs 170 bucks. In their menu, it was referred to as "Monday Thali" so I am guessing they might be having different thali items on each day. I liked most items in the thali. It's very refreshing for a North Indian like me. Today, I ordered food in my room and have decided not to order again. Would visit Rangoli again tomorrow.

I definitely want to start this review quoting that this is by far the best food i have had in the city of chennai. Well no wonder it is from THE Saravana Bhavan, but surprisingly it aint authentic south indian food but tis authentic rajasthani/gujarati food!
Precaution: DO NOT EAT the entire day or if possible the day b4 too, so u have enough space to eat the entire thali. It is unbelievable that sucha high quality tasty fine dining experience at sucha restaurant is available at 150 bucks per thali which is UNLIMITED!
Coming to the food, dont hog on the starters. Beware! There is hella lota stuff comin from the kitchen served hot and yummy by the waiter with so much care as you would treat a guest at a wedding. But yes the starters are the yummiest of all especially the Veg roll and the Dhokla (irresisable)! The jal jeera with boondi is gr8 too.
The Thali has chapathi, poli, some 4 to 5 variety of side dishes like paneer butter masala, mixed dal gravy, a special sweet rajasthani gravy(which is too good). kesari, srikand, pickles(not the usual boring ones), and a lot more i cant remember now! Then comes hot hot puris, the dal kichdi and biriyani. After all this the waiter asks you if you need white rice for your curd (btw curd is too good dont miss it). Finally you get a pan too. But trust me, it is too hard to stop eating.
Nobody can not be stuffed with this meal not just because of the quantity but also the quality. Man! I can keep on writing let me stop here!

Hungry as hell n wanna eat for like 150 a person? Head out to Rangoli.
I do not know the names of more than half the things on the thali, but I sure do know that all of them taste great!
And there's loads of it! You end up feeling like an overstuffed Turkey on Thanksgiving. That too American for you? Hmmm... like an overstuffed Brinjal at Sanjeev Kapoor's show. Now, dont argue about the nuances.. read on.
The buttermilk they serve is thick enough and tastes delicious.
The food with its subtle sweet n tangy flavor. The light bites, the fluffy pooris, the dal rice and the dessert -just about everything tastes great.
Must try!
