    This is my father favorite lunch place when he was in (Nelcast private limeted)
    Unlimited chappthi with dishes. So taste and people come with kulka chapati hot and serving any qty. Also rice dall available with curd.
    Two type of mixture quantity they served.
    Most of the time he started from office to Leyland by 1pm and straight away go there with hungry mood. Do he take lots of chappthi with dishes in full stomach.
    Cost also not much.
    I thought of one day I will go by train .and he recommended many people's from leyland he brought here .now my father age is 75 what a great memorise he shared with me I msgd here now also he is active person 🤩💐

    Rakesh, you stirred our childhood memories of visiting Parry’s Corner with the elders and
    yearned for those very special Sohan Halwa, Crisp, yet melted in our mouths with that aromatic ghee taste !
    Not to forget that this sweet was unheard in Chennai until this shop came up !
    Happy to watch the video showing us how the son is keeping the flag flying high !!

    @kanakasabhainatarajan7192 Před 2 lety +12

    It’s an old place where I have taken food in the past. Now it costs Rs.290 and another 20 extra ghee for Bhati. If you are a normal eater taking 2-3 chapatis, 1-2 small Bhati with small cups of veggies,dal,curd it is expensive and difficult to reach as car parking is impossible even in NSC Bose Road. Gujarati Bhavan in the same area is a better choice. One can visit for nostalgia as this food is now available in every area of Chennai w/o Bhati of course. In Rajasthan Bhati is made from coal fired Tandoor but here it is made on gas fire. Thanks for posting.

    Marwadi basa food-great. During my work life in various parts of India , I would search out the best veg food joint-Basa & enjoy the very wholesome food.
    I got the first taste of this food during my hostel days in Engg. College in North & loved it.
    During my visit to mount Abu in oct.18- tasted first time dal-bati choorma. Lovely, nutritious & hygenic, great taste plus the way the server guided me how to eat.👌👍
