Idli King
Satyaniketan, New Delhi
I had heard about Idli King from a friend of mine. To be honest I do not really love South Indian food, but I definitely wanted to try the place out simply because I had heard so much about it.
This place is located bang opposite Venkateshwara college building, in Satyaniketan, popularly known as South Campus.
The place is made up in two floors, with only one floor that offers a seating arrangement.
We ordered a Nimbu Pani each, a lemon rice, a mysore plain dosa and a masala idli.
The first thing I loved about the place was that they keep De Pauls packaged Cold Coffee and Nimbu Pani, which really dont need an introduction for any Delhite.
The Mysore plain dosa was nice and crisp, very thin and cooked to perfection.Served with deliciously spiced sambar, coconut chutney and tomato chutney.
Their tomato chutney was slightly different and had a creamy touch to it, but was yummy no doubt.
The coconut chutney was also good, however for me, the mysore part of the dosa was the star!
The dosa had an inner layering of mysore masala, which is basically very spiced up coconut chutney spread evenly on the inner layer of the dosa. The chutney was so nicely spread and spiced that I just did not need any other accompaniment.
The Masala Idli was also very scrumptious. It was a normal idli sprinkled with a powdered masala made out of south Indian spices and gun powder. The Idli when dipped in the hot sambar, was just heavenly.
The lemon rice was very nice, by which I mean that the quality of rice used was up to the mark, their was sufficient sourness to it and when I mixed the tomato chutney into it, it felt as if I am walking in the streets of Southern India.
I would also want to mention that this place is very clean and hygienic, which a place so easy on the pocket generally is not.
The lamps on top of each table are in the shape of Idli holders and the ceiling is covered with the traditional Indian "chik"
All this over here costed us Rs 250 only.
I was very happy to eat good food at such a decently priced place.
Kudos Guys.
