Worth a try
You will not believe how crowded this place is, u will have to wait atleast 15 minutes for a table. The few tables in front of vasanth super market might make you think that its just a fast food in front of the shop where ppl grab a bite wen they visit. But no! this place seems to be a centre for bachelors and northies in the area who miss dhaba food. Vasanth seems too south indian a name to be named for a dhaba tho, i guess its jus cos its in Vasanth apts!
The gr8 smell that grabs you into the place, even if u have to wait and the fast service by the few waiters there make it all worth, sitting in the open-air eating food from dirty tables. Now even dhabba express has dirty tables and plates/spoons, so i guess it has to be there to bring in the authentic dhaba atmosphere! The food is good and the starters viz chilli gobi, paneer pakoda, etc. are typical and tasty. The aloo parata is good too, lassi was not anything unique. The roti chawal plate is not worth it since its not the best place to eat rice. Try just the roti plate with 5 soft rotis, one dal and one aloo gravy, really filling. They also have fruit juices and chaat items.
The price is ok, cheap as expected. The service is good for such crowd, cud be faster with more wait staff. Its worth visiting if u dont want to go beyond velachery and don wanna spend on 'The Dhaba' either!
Ambiance - 2/5
Service - 3.5/5
Food - 3.5/5
Price - 150 bucks max a couple for a complete tummy fill
Will i ever go back? - Mayb wen m that side on work, and the smell makes me hungry!

Bosottos Bros - Nungambakkam
3-in-1 fun ...
If u just have a few minutes to grab lunch or not as hungry to go to a restaurant or jus in the mood for some quick bites.. this is the place to b in nungambakkam. Its best when ur all alone n not comfy to go sit in a restaurant n look at blank faces staring at u.
There are three things bout the place. One: the bakery which used to be better before, i am not really sure wen it was moved to the basement. I remember eating one of the best egg puffs in the city in here years ago. I guess now its majorly for cake orders, somehow its not very inviting to go to the half-empty lookin bakery in the basement. The road-stall juice shop has stolen the show now, tho u've to sit on stools in the pavement, it is always crowded mostly with college kids. They have a good variety of juices broght to you nice and chill in a min, they also serve sandwiches, soups and filter coffee. I like the soup here a lot.
The best part is the chaatwala next door. Since he doesnt have an address, he is famous as the chaat stall next to bosotto bros and mostly ppl eat here n have a drink in the juice shop. The pani puri here is gr8 i wudnt rate it as the best in chennai tho.
The prices are exactly what u can expect in a bakery and juice shop unlike 'cakes and bakes' located a few buildings away, worse in ambiance n food n price than this simple road-side place. So we have a very clear choice here, as we can see...
Ambiance - 3/5 ... Seriously not bad for a road side stall, wudve given 4 if not for the bakery at the basement now!
Food - 3.75/5 m gettin miser by the day eh!
Service - 4/5 for Instant service! Don expect 4 star treatment :P
Price - 100 to 150 for a couple... more if you wanna hog on a lota chaat
Will i ever go back? - the juices are my regular but the chaat... no i don think i ll do that part again!

Balaji Sandwich Stall - Egmore
Egg n cheese go good together
well if u did ur schooling or college in chennai, m sure u kno this place that sells the best sandwich in the city. I would go to the extent of saying that alsa mall gains crowd jus cos ppl come to to this road side stall that now has a big menu with increased prices.. hmm who doesnt fall for fame.. n yea y not? CCD inside alsa mall shud stop sellin those namesake sandwiches atleast in this outlet.
The ambiance is ofcourse roadside, maybe in your bike/car. So make urself comfortable. The price is obviously cheap, though its increased now still its the saviour of college kids and teenagers. There is complementary cucumber with chaat masala which is sooo yummy u wud long to get somemore. The sandwiches are the tastiest in town, literally makes ur mouth water and the green chutney is the culprit i think. My fav is the egg and cheese with the chutney, but also like masala sandwich, veg and cheese, boiled egg sandwich, egg and cheese again without the chutney.
Ambiance - You talkin to me?
Food - 5/5
Service - 4/5
Price - Less than 50 bucks for a couple :D if u dare to stop there!
Will i go back there? - Well i do all the time...
