Sangeetha, Adyar

The comments quoted below are a sample of the full tally across 24 threads.
What people say, in short
A widely recommended vegetarian chain in Chennai, with a few calling it a reliable choice and the Adyar and R A Puram branches singled out, the latter for veg breakfast and evening tiffin. Diners name dishes like the cone ghee roast, masala dosa and veg biryani, and two fans rate it above Saravana Bhavan. The pushback is real though: a couple of commenters call it overrated, one finds the food bland, another says you won't get authentic, flavourful food there, and two consider it pricey for a vegetarian menu. One commenter also wonders aloud what has happened to the chain after its rapid expansion.
