Visakhapatnam Restaurant Guide> Sai Ram Parlour

Text by: Tanya Munshi

Sai Ram Parlour, Visakhapatnam
Okay, I’m a total dosa and idli fan and more so the garlic chutney and the delicious aromatic sambar served alongside. Where can you get it? On lazy weekends, my husband and I head straight to Sai Ram Parlour at Diamond Park.

Don’t go by their ambience when you reach their ground floor. It’s a place where you have to stand and have these snacks or tiffin meals as it is known in South India. You also have an option to go to the first floor and eat in the air-conditioned and the non air-conditioned restaurants. Don’t be surprised if you’re asked to share a table with other diners, it’s a perfectly done thing here considering it’s such a busy and packed restaurant. But for the food and the coffee, I don’t mind it at all. Also, don't expect any five-star treatment just because you opted for the air-conditioned restaurant, its just that you can enjoy the meals in a cooler environment.

But seriously, Sai Ram Parlour's dosas and idlis are simply out of the world and we really don't mind standing in the summer heat to enjoy it. A meal for two is within Rs. 200/-.
