Hotel Arul Jyothi Restaurant

The Arul Jyothi Restaurant at Menaka has been serving traditional vegetarian dishes for the past three decades, consistently using their unique recipes. It is one of the best vegetarian restaurants in the area, known for fresh dosas, pooris, idlis, and thali meals. During my recent visit, I enjoyed crispy vada with chutney and ghee roast, both of which were delicious. The service is good, but the only drawback is the parking situation - guests must park at the "pay & park" lot at Marine Drive and walk across a busy road to reach the restaurant.

The Thali at this restaurant is amazing. It includes a variety of delicious South Indian dishes. The quality of the food was excellent and the flavors were fantastic.

I recommend trying this restaurant if you are in the area and looking for a reasonably priced, authentic local lunch experience. Located on a busy street behind a crowded bus stop, it can be quite noisy. We tried the Kerala lunch consisting of rice and vegetable curries, which were of decent quality and portion size. If possible, I suggest checking out Ashok Bhavan instead. Be sure to read my review of that restaurant as well.

We can enjoy the taste of the real southern dishes exclusively Tamil. the foods are making in original ghee and it is very tasty also

Value for money. good food, decent place. Nice location on MG road. Only vegetarian food available. Sumptuous lunch, good quarlity. Nice coffee.
