With bustling cafés and restaurants dishing out eggs, pancakes, South Indian breakfast platters, and more, Adyar offers plenty of tempting morning meal options. From quick sandwiches to sit-down spreads, here are 6 of the top-rated Breakfast restaurants in Adyar. I sampled the offerings at each spot so you can start your day right at the best places in the neighborhood.
Sangeetha
Beloved for South Indian vegetarian food, Sangeetha draws big crowds for breakfast. Join the line and make your way through arrays of piping hot dishes served on banana leaves for an authentic experience. Fluffy idlis, crispy vadas, flowery uthappams, and spice-laced coconut chutneys make choosing difficult. Wash it down with fresh filter coffee served in the customary tumbler and dabarah. Quick service and tasty traditional fare make Sangeetha a local legend.
Ram Ki Bandi
Specializing in fluffy dosas made from aromatic ghee roasted batter, Ram Ki Bandi began as a modest street cart that gained permanent popularity. Their vast dosa varieties include set dosa which looks almost flakey like a croissant, mysore masala dosa stuffed with spiced potato, and the unusually hued red dosa colored with beetroot mix. They also serve up hot omelets and vadas as well as cool shakes. Enjoy these crispy treats inside or order for takeaway. Ram Ki Bandi’s dosas win hearts and stuffed stomachs.
Adyar Ananda Bhavan
An iconic chain known just as A2B, this pure vegetarian restaurant offers South Indian comfort food. You can pile your plate high at their signature breakfast buffet and unlimited meals. Highlights include fluffy idlis soaked in sambar, crunchy medu vadas, velvety kesari bhath sweet semolina, and an extensive list of dosa varieties from ghee to set to mysore. Filter coffee served in silver tumblers adds traditional flavor. A2B’s value and variety make it a go-to choice for South Indian cuisine.
Double Roti
For hearty North Indian fare, Double Roti delivers with options like aloo paranthas stuffed with spiced potato, piping hot chana masala gravy, beetroot keema omelets, and more. The Parsi style kheema pav features spicy minced meat tucked into burger buns while the bread pakora provides crispy battered slices ideal for dunking into creamy dahi. Double Roti’s portions are generous and prices reasonable. Spice up your morning with their specialties.
The Waffle Co.
Inspired by Brussels, this cute corner café goes all in on – you guessed it – waffles! Both savoury and sweet options are prepared fresh when you order. The Brussels Classic tops crispy golden waffles with powdered sugar but we also loved the Chicken Tikka Masala waffle marrying shredded spicy chicken in curried yogurt over the waffle base. Molten Nutella and Banana options satisfy sweet cravings along with milkshakes and coffee. The Waffle Co. offers a novel way to breakfast in Adyar.
Nosh
Housed within ITC Grand Chola, Nosh reimagines breakfast with artisanal preparations and global influences. The modernist space awash in sunlight seamlessly transitions from restaurant to café to bar throughout the day. For breakfast, highlights include eggs benedict on English muffins, giant pancakes with berries and syrup, or Indian options like appam with vegetable stew or paneer bhurji scrambled with spices and tomatoes served with hot parathas. With lounge seating and warm service, Nosh provides an upscale laidback weekend brunch experience.
