The filter coffee is what fuels the city. There are early risers who grab their tumbler before sunrise at Sarvana Bhavan and coffee lovers who prefer their strong evening filter coffees from Mami Mess and Karpagamabal Mess. Almost all corners of the city boast high-quality coffee.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3044\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rentomojo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_525900652.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Chennai food guide\" width=\"700\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rentomojo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_525900652.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.rentomojo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_525900652-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rentomojo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_525900652-450x289.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.rentomojo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_525900652-225x145.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.rentomojo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_525900652-20x13.jpg 20w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Mulligatawny_Soup\"><\/span><b>2.

You can find an authentic version at clubs like Gymkhana and Madras Club.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Sundal\"><\/span><b>3. Sundal:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the world\u2019s longest beaches, the Marina Beach, is also a part of Chennai\u2019s identity. Interestingly, it also happens to be the best place to indulge in some delicious Sundal. It is boiled chickpeas tossed with mustard seeds, grated coconut, raw mango, and curry leaves. Being a traditional snack and one of the best veg street food in Chennai, Sundal is served during the ten days of Dushherra and is equally popular as a bar snack.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3045\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rentomojo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_1248086797.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Chennai food guide\" width=\"700\" height=\"457\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rentomojo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_1248086797.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.rentomojo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_1248086797-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rentomojo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_1248086797-450x294.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.rentomojo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_1248086797-225x147.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.rentomojo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_1248086797-20x13.jpg 20w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Nethili_Fry\"><\/span><b>4. Nethili Fry:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the fishermen community being one of Chennai\u2019s earliest inhabitants, the city is rich in seafood. The fresh catch of the day becomes easily available at homes as well as all kinds of eateries. Nethi fry is one of the best non-veg street food in Chennai when you are looking for delectable seafood dishes. It\u2019s a crunchy and scrumptious dish consisting of fried fish tossed in a spicy masala.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Mysore_Pak\"><\/span><b>5. Mysore Pak:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is the one thing most people will ask you to carry back from Chennai, considering Chennai sells more Mysore Pak than Mysore. This melt-in-your-mouth sweet is crafted with just three ingredients- sugar, ghee and Bengal gram. There are two types of Mysore Pak available in Chennai \u2013 the softer \u2018Mysurpa\u2019 version made popular by Sri Krishna Sweets and the slightly coarse yet crumbly Mysore Pak that tastes best at Grand Sweets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3046\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rentomojo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_1218814711.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Chennai food guide\" width=\"700\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rentomojo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_1218814711.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.rentomojo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_1218814711-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rentomojo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_1218814711-450x289.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.rentomojo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_1218814711-225x145.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.rentomojo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_1218814711-20x13.jpg 20w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Murukku_Sandwich\"><\/span><b>6. Murukku Sandwich:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Home to Chennai\u2019s Marwari community for decades, the Sowcarpet area has developed its own food culture. It is both, the best neighbourhood in the city for chaats, and home to the most innovative street-food dishes. The Murukku Sandwich is essentially a Bombay-style sandwich compressed into a bite-sized dish. The bread slices make way for murukkus (chaklis) and it is deliciously crunchy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Full_Meals\"><\/span><b>7.

There\u2019s the all-vegetarian version of the meal that one could try at restaurants at National Lodge or Dakshin. The meat lovers could head to one of the city\u2019s military hotels or restaurants like Junior Kupanna.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3047\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rentomojo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_403555270.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Chennai food guide\" width=\"700\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rentomojo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_403555270.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.rentomojo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_403555270-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rentomojo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_403555270-450x289.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.rentomojo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_403555270-225x145.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.rentomojo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_403555270-20x13.jpg 20w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Atho\"><\/span><b>8. Atho:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chennai has a strong Burmese connect, which is most evident in North Chennai where quite a few restaurants serve exquisitely delicious Burmese street food. This includes the Atho \u2013 fried noodles tossed with cabbage, onion, and tamarind juice. This tops the list of must-try Chennai street dishes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Boli\"><\/span><b>9.

The aroma of the hot Boli will not fail to draw you to the nearby stall. It is a sweet refined flour paratha stuffed with toor daal, jaggery, cardamom, nuts and raisins. It is a must-have for all those with a sweet tooth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3048\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rentomojo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_791651722.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Chennai food guide\" width=\"700\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rentomojo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_791651722.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.rentomojo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_791651722-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rentomojo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_791651722-450x289.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.rentomojo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_791651722-225x145.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.rentomojo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_791651722-20x13.jpg 20w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Mysore_Masala_Dosa\"><\/span><b>10.
