Enjoy Mylapore by default, the clients' recommendation is to come to this restaurant as well. The wonderful flavours of the Chinese cuisine attract a lot of customers. Nicely cooked chicken biryani, fried chicken and tandoori chicken can make a profound impression on you. It might be nice to try great tea, coffee or juice.
The positive aspect of Hotel Select is that the staff is courteous. Cool service is something visitors like here. If you visit this place, have no doubt, you are to love the surrounding charming atmosphere. But this spot is not highly appreciated by Google users who assigned it a below average rating.

So, my friends from Mylapore had always talked about this small, 25+ year old ‘hotel’ they would frequent for late night dinners. Eventually, after a couple of drinks in the area, we ended up at this, Hotel Select. It’s your regular, nostalgia-inducing eatery with the retro non-a/c section and a/c room. A few tables were occupied in both the sections. It was around 22:30 on a Friday. They’re generally open till 1 A.M.
Order:-
Appam (₹20) was Passable. Quality of batter was so-so. Idiyappam (₹10) tasted okay but was served cold. The Butter Naan (₹40) was good.
Mutton Pepper Paya (₹235) - The gravy tasted like any Malabar version of the dish would. Tomato and pepper flavours fighting to overpower. The two hooves were humongous and tasted okay.
Summed it up with a couple plates of Half-boil/Bull’s Eye (₹40) two a plate.
No major complaints with air conditioning and seating. Service staff was friendly and service was rather quick. Menu was extensive. Couldn’t try much else though (considering our stomachs were half full). Having said that, I had an uneasy, digestion trouble throughout the next day. Would I go back again after my first experience? Maybe, but I’d stick to recommended dishes next time.
