Recommended to every food lover . "We often think that South India is only about Idly, Wada, and Dosa, and fail to admire the rich culinary traditions of the south. I am always in the lookout for ethnic food from the south. I was happy to get a call from the old friend Shiva Nair that South India Mess is now serving Puttu and Idiyappam. Puttu, a Kerala dish is made of steamed cylinders of ground rice layered with coconut. Idiyappam is made of rice-flour pressed into sevai or noodles. Both were served with kadala curry, Kerala style curry made out of kala chana. Both dishes were out of the world. Those of you don't know South India Mess, it is located at Dharampeth (Behind the building which was once coffee house) Shiva Nair, his father and his wife personally supervise everything. I have been visiting the place for 35 years!! Shiva told me that Puttu and Idiyappam are now being served daily after 9 am. Do try, and gulp it down with a cuppa filter coffee, and square it off with hot Sheera ( Halva)"

I have been planning for this place since many years but went today at last i ate Iddiyappam
Pittu, upma , iddli , sheera made in pure ghee, and filter coffee (kapi ) i love to say it all dishes truly try worth do visit this place 😋

This is an Authentic South Indian Restaurant in Gokulpeth area....spread in a relatively small place...Idli Vada and Dosa are readily available here,,,you will not find lunch over here,..They also serve great filter coffee.....

Restaurant with decades of experience that serves fresh South Indian dishes. Freshly made everyday. Even at 7:30 in the morning. Great Sambar! The ambiance is old worldly, but who cares when you are having great strong filter coffee.

The best Uthappam, Masala Dosa and filter coffee served here. Established in mid 1960’s, this hotel serves the most authentic South Indian dishes.

Must Try item on menu : Sheera ( Halwa)
BestSeller item : Sambar Wada.

Less Gimmick and more taste.

Utterly disappointed. I'd read some good reviews about this place on Maps, but they turned out to be opposite for me.

Ambiance - Seems like a genuine historical place, you get the feel after entering. Even the Menu Board is just too cool.

Food - I'd ordered a Masala Dosa, cost me 80 bucks. And trust me it was just oil n oil everywhere. The Dosa was soft, sambar war bitter in taste and the coconut chutney tasted like stale. The first bite made me say - not anymore.
But yes, the owner is very friendly and a genuine person. From serving to leaving, you'd experience his heartful warmth.

Nice food, the place is run by the owner himself who is always welcoming. Visit it once, you would like visiting again.
