Murugan Idli Shop

South Indian Vegetarian

Famous for its impossibly soft idlis served with an array of chutneys and rich sambar. Murugan Idli Shop started in Madurai and became a Chennai sensation almost overnight. The secret lies in the batter preparation and the stone-ground technique that gives the idlis their distinctive fluffy texture. Their ghee pongal, topped with a generous helping of cashews and pepper, is equally celebrated. A visit here during the morning rush is a quintessential Chennai experience.
