Tawa 9 - No Frills but Good Food!

Tawa 9 is quite a no frills place. It isn't like the perfect spot for a fine dining experience but nevertheless serves some pretty good food. If you're looking for a quick evening snack, this outlet is ideal to knock your door. They also have good enough options for lunch and dinner.

The ambiance is pretty simple. It's enlarged by large spaces of orange and the seating arrangements comprise of just plastic chairs. There is one big poster depicting the best of Chennai. Don't look too much in the ambiance space. This is more of a place which serves decently good food at reasonable prices.

We ordered for a corn cheese canope which was quite well made with lots of cheese, mayo and corn stuffing topped with podi. The cocktail idli was the best of the lot. It took a reddish avatar and was really crispy. It was lovely eating this dipped with the coconut chutney. The chilli cheese dosa was again quite good. The dosa's inside was infused with a paste of cheese and chilli and though not spectacular in taste, it did serve the intended purpose. The last of the items we had was a panneer pudina paratha which again they got right with the pasty mix consisting of flaky pieces of panneer doing the trick.

Overall, it was quite a pleasant meal. It's a little known outlet serving quite an extensive fare of vegetarian food viz of the North Indian, South Indian and Chaat variety. Don't expect too much in terms of fine dining experience and all but if you're looking for a quick bite of tasty food without flinching your pockets, Tawa 9 is a handy bet.

P. S: They have revamped the place and it's now well spread out and it portrays a far brighter picture. They've also added plenty of stuff on their menu and it's no more just a short eats snack place.

The crispy fried idli as usual were sensational. They lord over the corn canopes. Tawa has been added to their forte and they have brought in plenty of items made on a Tawa. Their Tawa dosa was very good and so was the fried rice. Options on shakes and desserts have also gone up the ladder. Would now recommend it as a good vegetarian restaurant down the alley which caters to a full on spread as well as possessing a fine spread of short eats and starters.
