Old vegetarian restaurant founded in 1964, Thanjavur's most reviewed South Indian eatery.
Located on South Rampart Street next to the old bus stand, it opened in 1964 and is one of the town's best-known vegetarian institutions, with another branch near the railway station. Breakfast includes idli, pongal and fried puri; lunch is a banana-leaf thali, and North Indian dishes are also available. It is busy at mealtimes but turns tables quickly, and no reservations are needed. About 200–400 rupees per person. It is an easy walk to the Thanjavur Palace and about 1.5 km from the Brihadeeswarar Temple.
