Almost always busy with locals, this venerable, fan-cooled, 40-year-old institution is a great place for breakfast or lunch. Egg, toast and fabulously affordable filter coffee (₹31) share a menu of South Indian favourites such as idli (spongy, fermented rice cake), vada (doughnut-shaped, deep-fried lentil savoury) and dosa (paper-thin lentil-flour pancake), all served up by waiters wearing hallmark fantailed hats.
