This was the first time I took out my girl to her childhood memory .. the filter coffee and the crisp ghee dosa was such a delight. The servers were super friendly and courteous. Food was joint hot and the chutneys .. I love them .. this is heritage food place .. when my wife took our kids for an evening snack .. they loved it as well .. idlis were fluffy and Puris were fried to perfection .. thank you so much for a lovely 30 mins at your place
I have been here so many times. This place is warm and cosy and has remained same and unchanged from past 15-20 years. Yes it's a old restaurant and i have been coming here from the time i was toddler.
The best dishes here are
1. Idli
2. Mysore masala dosa
3. South Indian meals
4. Chana bhatura
5. Basundi.
Don't try any other stuff here as they are just average.
These are the best and must have items.
Food is not spicy at all and is palatable for most of the people. Someone looking for spicy stay away as food is not all spicy and is on a sweeter side.
Overall ratings:-
1. Taste: 4/5
2. Ambience: 4/5
3. Quantity: 4/5
4. Hygiene: 3/5
5. Price: 4/5
Overall a good place, but certainly need to improve hygiene as the toilets are dirty and smelly and waiters many times dip their hands in the glasses and serve them us to drink otherwise a nice experience every time i go..
Has the charm of old Madras. Food is fantastic here. Their pongal and sambar vadai are the best in town. One star less for their so so lunch. Yet, my favourite vegetarian restaurant in Chennai. Nothing comes close to this.
Ratings based only on Taste..
Krishna Restaurant located in mylapore is a part of the woodlands hotel in Cathedral Road is quite a legendary place in chennai..Operational for decades it has a separate following in itself and i am one of them..Been my favorite since my childhood...
Restaurants looks mirror any restaurants from the 90's but have with good maintenance it looks quite good..The cooling from the A/C is perfect..But the environment as such is busy and chaotic thanks to the busy servers..
On my recent visit ordered their famous Masala Dosai priced at 110 including taxes..The Dosa is quite crispy served with an yummy potato masala..The Chutney and sambar served along were too good and overall it worked very well..
one of the best in chennai for sure..Also had a takeaway of meals recently which was quite good actually with everything being fresh and taste really good..
Must try restaurant for sure..
Consistency is a hall mark or Krishna. They keep their menu simple and deliver quality products to their customers.. its a tradition that one should try in Chennai
One of my favorite breakfast place in Chennai, use to stay just behind this restaurant for 4 years and whenever I have craving for good idly sambar this was the place. The prices are a bit steep but considering the location and quality it's worth it. Quick service and good food.

A vegetarian restaurant in the new woodlands hotel worth trying.
Came here for an evening coffee after shopping with my Amma and twin sister.
What I ordered :
1) Bhajji
2) Filter coffee
Three types of Bhajji were served - Potato, Onion and Raw banana (one each) with chutney and sambar as an accompaniment. They were really good. It was freshly made and hence hot when it was brought to us. Usually when I have Bhajji in any of the restaurants, I would notice excess oil on the plate and as I take a bite, the oil would land on my fingers......making the whole experience uncomfortable. In this restaurant, the oil was drained really well with none of it on the plate and my fingers. To add.......the bhajji batter tasted amazing!!
The filter coffee was nice. Since I’m a fan of strong coffee, I enjoyed drinking it. For those who do not enjoy strong coffee this is not the right choice. But at the end I felt a bitter taste after drinking it which made the experience a little uncomfortable.
A good place to enjoy a late evening tiffin and beverages.
Been here a week ago after visiting my brother who admitted in the hospital...went with my husband and brother's son....since it was on sunday evening the place was tightly packed and after great difficulty we parked the car....it was too crowded inside the restaurant and we waited for more than half an hour for our table...ambience is good and hygienic....coming to food we ordered idly, masala dosa and mysore masala dosa....all tasted good and homely...they provided me hot water after realising that I have got cold...thanks to the service person....service was commendable...
Price is nominal....on the ambient good place to visit with family and friends......
yesterday been to this place after visiting my brother in hospital.....coming to this place too crowded....parking space was tightly packed aftwr some difficulty we parked the car....coming to this particular restaurant of woodland hotel its too crowded and we waited for half an hour to get the table....ambience is good....coming to food we ordered idly,masala dosa and mysore masala dosa....all tasted good and felt homely...staffs were also friendly....price is moderate and good place to visit....
This place exudes an old world charm. For the ambience, I found the place a tad costly. An unknown brand of bottled water is about 50 bucks. However the fact that it is crowded all the time speaks of the quality. All the dosa options here are very good. The South Indian lunch spread was so good. Absolutely love the vatta kuzhambu here. The lunch is rounded off with a sweet, ice cream and beeda. Would vote for this place any day for its taste, hygiene and slice of yesteryear Chennai.
A Restaurant with nostalgic feeling and positive vibes. Without doubt the Best South Indian Food restaurant which has maintained quality, taste , serving , presentation and quantity over so many years (since 1991 we know) . Must Try these items for your palete appeasement:
1. Idly
2. Masala Dosa
3. Filter Coffee
4. Vada
5. Plain Rava Dosa
6. Pongal
All items items are served hot with sumptuous accomplimemts Sambar and 2 types of Coconut chutney's.
For Lunch their South Indian Thali is a must try.
One of the oldest restaurants. Heard the fake news that the Woodlands is closing and decided to come here one more time. Glad to hear that it is the fake news. As vrindavan was crowded, we had lunch at krishna. This place has authentic south indian food. The best option if you are visiting here is to choose the veg meals. The other options are not that great. Half our family had meals and were very satisfied. The other half chose north Indian food. The wait time for these was very long and the naan and the side dish was not that great. We chose punjabi paneer. A good choice if you are super hungry and are looking for a proper south Indian lunch
One of the iconic Udupi Hotels in the erstwhile Madras city . A restaurant , as we now call it , it's still maintained very well with no compromise on quality and service . It's been more than 70years since inception , and I've been a regular since my childhood . Furniture reminds us of the 60s and 70s . There are serving staff who have been here for decades , but still are courteous , quick and helpful . With the changing times , the menu card has gotten bigger with more items .
But Idli /Sambar , Masala Dosa , Mysore Bonda , Khichdi , are still the most sought after .
Worth the price ! Can be tried once in a while. Mysore Masala dosa was really good and you can try it out if you like spicy food ! Ambience was good 👍 esp the air condition (runs in 18) 🥶
This is one of the best restaurants for vegetarian meals.
We used to go regularly and the food quality was up to the mark as always.
But nowadays it has lost its charm and its taste has been below average. It would be great if they were back with the same taste.
Oh! Wow, what do I mention. An amazing food joint . I have been a customer for the past 32 years. Consistency in quality of food. Efficient service. Amazing consistency in that department too. What bothers me a bit is the consistency in decor too. That is monotony which needs avoidance. A constant regular upgrade of furniture and decor, leading to enhanced ambience would make the place attractive and a crowd puller to the generation that is after me.
Best South Indian breakfast! Crispy dosai, decadent pongal and poori! The list goes on! There is nothing more satisfying than ending the meal with a steaming hot filter coffee!
I believe this is one of the oldest hotel in chennai. If you want to taste karnataka style tiffin then you must try this place. Their mysore masala dosa(available from morning til night) was too tasty and after 3:00p.m you can get mangalore bonda which is so fluffy like a sponge. The food was satisfactory and if you are visiting near to Citi center/ Light house then you can try this place
Been to this restaurant many many times and look forward to going there many more times. We get typical South India vegetarian items always tastes good on the mouth, gentle on the stomach and easy on the wallet.
Food comes quickly and they staff expect you to eat quickly and vacate the table as they are in a hurry attend to the next set of customers. We were almost "pushed out" by the staff vacate the table and get of the restaurant.
Top class tasty food, tailored to customer sensibilities and great customer service. Housed in traditional architectural building.
However, the table management can be better in the front desk area, especially during peak visit times. The noise and hurry-burry in waiting area diminishes the dining experience.
