A day's drive out of Chennai saw us alight at Hotel Saravana Bhavan at Karai on the Chennai Bangalore highway, near Kanchipuram. It was a little late in the morning for breakfast. The idlis arrived super soft and steaming, medu vadai was crispy. The ghee roast dosai and poori bhaji were good. On the downside, located on a highway and the day being a weekend holiday, they had run out of most items - coconut chutney (arrived after we finished our tiffin), filter coffee took a long time to arrive and was just about passable. Though the seating was comfortable, the ambience desparately needs a makeover. The pricing was apt. We left reminiscing their good old times.
