दुकानें और बाज़ार
Nalli SilksChennai (T. Nagar)से 1928
Kanchipuram silk sarees
Founded by a weaver's family and now the anchor of a shopping district that empties the city's traffic into four streets every wedding season.
Ratna CafeChennai (Triplicane)से 1948
Idli flooded with sambar
The sambar is the order; the idli is the vehicle, and the refill is expected rather than requested.
Rayar's MessChennai (Mylapore)
Idli, pongal, kara bath and coffee, in a room the size of a corridor
Opens for a few hours in the morning and again in the evening, sells out, and closes. No menu on the wall and no interest in acquiring one.
Karpagambal MessChennai (Mylapore)
Filter coffee and a fixed South Indian tiffin list
On the Mada street beside the Kapaleeshwarar temple, and the standard stop before or after a visit to it.
The Kanchipuram weavers' cooperative societiesKancheepuram
Korvai silk sarees bought closer to the loom
Worth using because the price difference between a cooperative and a retail chain is large and goes to a different place. Ask to see the border join before buying anything sold as korvai.
Burma Bazaar's atho stallsChennai (George Town)
Atho and other Burmese street dishes
Run by families repatriated from Rangoon in the 1960s. The market itself sells imported goods; the food is the part worth going for.
The Puducherry bakeriesPuducherry
Baguette-style bread, croissants and macaroons
Several long-running family bakeries in the Tamil quarter supply the town's bread, and the habit of buying a loaf in the morning is the most everyday French survival in India.
