Suriya Chaat Corner @ Adyar

When it comes to the best chaat in Chennai, there are very very few places to rival Gangotree. But for those of you who aren’t too fussy about the authentic north Indian taste, Suriya Chaat Corner is an ideal destination.

The choice of items that you get here are quite staggering, considering the size of the chaat shop.

For starters (in a chaat shop! Really?) the choice is from French Fries, Potato Wedges, Veg Nuggets and Smileys (Rs 24 each). You can also choose from among 4 salad varieties (each Rs 16).

You get the regular selections of pizzas (Yes! Even Gangotree doesn’t offer these!) – From Margherita (Rs 30) to Paneer Temptation (Rs 40) to Spicy Potato Pizzas (Rs 50). To be honest i think some of these taste far better than what you get at Domino’s! Sigh! If only someone else could perfect their garlic breadsticks with cheese-jalapeno dip

Sandwiches and burgers include everything from the Plain Coleslow Sandwich (Rs 15) to the impossible-to-eat-without-spoiling-your-shirt Double layer burger (Rs 45).

Coffee addicts can choose from among the Capuchillo (Rs 25), Mocochillo (Rs 30), Frappe (Rs 30), Himalayan Heights (Coffee+Vanilla+Honey!!!, Rs 30) and Almond Frappe (Rs 35).

You even get veg hotdogs (??) – The paneer hot dog (Rs 35) is quite delectable. The remaining options leave a lot to be desired.

Now the CHAT items- you get the whole lot. From Pani Puri (Rs 17) to Samosa Chenna (Rs 18) to Dahi Poori (Rs 20) to Pav Masala (Rs 26). All the stuff you get here is fresh. Even the Dahi.

There’s even a nice range of sweets, ice creams and fresh juices to choose from. You get the softest gulab jamun in all of chennai here, i kid you not!

All in all, this is THE place to go if you are short on cash and have that craving for quality chaat but can’t go all the way to Gopalapuram!

And lest i forget, the BIGGEST plus point here – The parking. You can drive a Semi here and still have enough place to park. Err…well.. another semi… and another!
