Review Rotiwala - Chennai (Madras)

This shop is best for phulkas , stuffed parathas and there budget friendly combo, Don't expect rich taste of gravy, because price is very low here, so it will be typical of moderate taste and quality.

It's a roadside dhaba. Tables are not available, only chairs are provided with stool. Economical especially for bachelors who can get homely food. For Rs 45 you get 5 phulkas and a cup of dhaal and a subzi. Other delicacies likes jalebi, dahi puri, alu paratha, panner paratha, laasi are to be tried out. It's open till 11 PM. You can also order through delivery apps like swiggy, zomato, uber.

Lovely chat corner with delicious food.. I tried their aloo paratha and sattu paratha.. yummm it was. Will surely whenever I am in their vicinity.

Place is so good, more chairs arranged in front of the shop, more items in the shop. Paninpori is good, aloo paratha also available, mostly all individuals items look in a moderate rate, while I suggest other to go for the combo which is good and cost effective. More online orders are running in this shop. Nearly five to six persons are working here

A decent place for lunch and to get chaat items. This is run by Punjabis and sells samosas, cutlets, all types of chaat items, jilebis, naans, phulkas, and the like. Not too spicy and fairly economical.

Hygienic place with good chat range and good combos

Small shack that provides home cooked, fresh, north Indian cuisine. Price is also very reasonable. Food served here is worth each penny that we pay. Their paranthas and jalebi are mouth watering. So yummy.

Decent food for a decent price. You could probably have dinner here for like 2-3 days a week to cut some of your costs.A plate of 5 phulkas +dal+ sabji costs only 45 rupees. Jalebis are also good

Food is decent and the pricing is less as compared to other places . If you spend 100rs then you can have your stomach full. It is a small joint few chairs kept for sitting . I love the chaat it's yummy. Must try . And also the lassi.

I used to have my dinner daily. Awesome place to have North Indian food.

It is a small shop run by north indians. Roti ,sukka and butter roti are very nice. Parotta varieties avilable with a choice of good side dishes.Jelabi available in the evening. Combo meals available during lunch. Parcel service is there. They supply quality stuff.

Good taste, variety options and economical. Don't expect ambience but good food. Crowded place very less option of sit out.

They are showing so many things in fulka combo but they only giving daal nothing was there.

There is not a single piece of Dal found in this dal tadka, and in the combo they mentioned salad not a single peace of onion or chilli i found this. Then why you guys are marked this as a Combo pack.?

Ordered expecting good north indian food but food was at most average. The paneer butter masala only tasted of tomatoes and was lacking any other flavour. Samosas were decent, the chutney however tasted very pungent. The only thing good was the Aloo Parantha. Quite a sub-par experience.

Never visit this place for chaat. Ordered online and I think wasted my money.<br/>Never ate such a worst chaat. Ordered aloo puri chaat and got only aloo and puri ad ordered without any masala or anything else.

The food was awful to say the least! I never give bad reviews that easily! But this was really downright bad! Never ever order here! Dal was spoilt! Paneer was just a few pieces in a tomato sauce kind of gravy! Jalebi was very bad too! Parantha and pulka was burnt! I rest my case!

I ordered food from them today and trust me what a yummy food that they served. They made it obligatory by their super yummy taste to write a review. Though packing could have been better. But the taste was simply amazing. It felt like eating typical north Indian food in a dhaba some where in Punjab. The delivery person was also polite and hence making my overall food experience of the day perfect. Best wishes☺️

This is a typical ordinary roti joint run by a bunch of younger people. The place looks a bit worn out but that's of no concern if the food is good and well-made. Writing this after my first visit which was good. I decided to eat from there since I was getting hungry and didn't want to spend too much to quench my hunger. They have combos with rotis, butter rotis, stuffed parathas and vegetarian gravies that have to be bought separately. I would stick to the rotis and their respective combos here since that's what they are good at.<br/><br/>The dining in menu is about 20 rs cheaper for all items compared to the online uploaded menu. 5rs additional charges for packing its printed. I've attached the menu with this review. <br/><br/>Decided to just try the Butter Pulka set that comes with 5 pulkas, Sabji, dal and "salad" which is just some cut onions. This costs 50 bucks if you're eating there or picking up. It was served soon. There are just plastic chairs and stools that you can use as a table to eat. There's place to park your bikes right outside. <br/><br/>Taste<br/><br/>The butter pulkas/rotis were done well with some butter melted. Medium sized. The Sabzi was good and the dal was light and little spicy. They served additional helpings of the gravies as we need. Had a few more rotis since I liked it. If the Sabzi was excellent would have given them 5 stars. <br/><br/>Noticed some fresh jalebis stacked on the counter so I got a plate of it. (30 rs) About 5 jalebis which weren't too sweet and light how I like it. <br/><br/>If you're catching an interstate bus from this location (there's a popular pickup point called lucky travels here) then this is a great place to have a healthy bite from or pack dinner before catching the bus.

My go to place for Chaat and Parathas. Must try the Bhel Puri and Dahi puri. Not a fan of vada pav and Pav bhaji I must say but the Jalebis are hot and yummy!!

This place's combo for chapatis is really really bad.... Not even edible. If somebody loves to have chapatis in lunch/dinner ...just forget this place. Even the sabzis were so badddd. You pay so much for this thali and you get chapatis wrapped in newspapers.<br/>One star only for the Sev Puri chat I ordered which was average too but edible atleast.

Very very very worst hotel don't order any one<br/>Not clean kitchen. Rotting ketta varattiya kudukkuranuga. Very poor maintenance one time visit next order this hotel

The food was spoiled... I want a refund for the spoiled food. We ordered a combo roti in which dal was salty the roti was not cooked well the gravy was not good and pav bhaji in which bhaji was spoiled and u could smell the old food smell and the taste too. We couldn't eat d food in short... We would like to request a refund for this food

A rustic "Go To" place for us. Never disappoints with food, timing and taste. Paani poori, roti & subji and namak ka lassi are our favorites.

My order was simple. One butter phulka combo and 1 portion of ‘hot jalebi’ Before even reading the review please refer to the images attached. I got overburnt stale jalebis and the Rotis were not cooked. Just some butter was smeared. Watery coloured fluids in the name of Sabzi and Dal. Would never ever try this place. 🙏🏻

Would I visit this place again? YES! By far the best paratha I’ve eaten in Chennai yet. <br/>The paratha was nice a toasty, and generously buttered. The filling was even better, the a tinch of spice and the paneer was balanced out so well. <br/>I would give it a 100% for taste.<br/><br/>Ambience, it’s a road side shop, you really can’t expect much. But the food does enough justice. Even the aloo paratha was good. A must try paratha place, and the prices are super economical. Perfect for people on the go. You get 2 full size paratha starting from Rs 50. They do have varieties and the prices vary. <br/><br/>Taste - 5/5<br/>Ambience - 2/5<br/>VFM - 5/5<br/>Quantity - 4.5/5<br/>

Food taste is very bad...Also they didn't provide what they suppose to give..Publish something on their menu..And provide something else..Overall worst experience<br/>

Love the food taste very much. Usually I order from zomato on time food preparation and delivery. Even it is pocket friendly. Jalebi is must try item

It tastes like spoiled food<br/>I don't know whether the taste is like that but I have tried pav bhaji in other shops but this is the worst of it.

not as specified

ordered butter roti but only normal roti came

Hot saabji was packed in low grade plastic cover

Must try mix veg paratha. Its super tasty. Jalebi should be more juicy. over all it's nice and pocket friendly too. It was a good experince.

worst delivery boy ..

The paranthas delivered were too salty and packing was also poor. Could not even eat a single piece out of the 3 plates ordered. Would never visit this place and not recommend also.

Sometime I used to order my lunch from here. Homely taste with using of nominal oil and masala . Overall it is good ,rate is also ok with it's fixed menu price. A perfect platter standing on South India for North Indians.<br/><br/>Thank you Rotiwala

The food was pathetic,combo was butter roti they sent normal horrible rotis,combo had jalebi they did not send ,butter paneer masala was smelling inspite of me being polite the owner response was very rude blaming app for everything but what about the food 👎🏿

Worst food order butter phulka combo, they gave uncooked phulka without butter. Paneer butter masala was horrible.Jalebi was worst and daal was spoiled.<br/>

worst packing... food not at all worth for the money... dishes mentioned in the menu are not present in the package . worst packing I have never seen before

The side dish had sour taste. some other paratha was delivered insde of the one i ordered for.

worst hotel I had ever eat. please don't order food here. panner butter masala had a bad smell. dal is like water and had a burnt smell. everything was worst and like a old masalas

Lassi not delivered in combo

Very worst experience in ordering kadai paneer.. the dish was already old stock unable to give even one star also.. please dont eat in rotiwala your stomach will be spoiled..very bad and worst

the taste definitely need to improve. I have eaten good tasty food at cheap price also. so I can say taste has to be improve a lot. I ordered pawbhaji and 2parantha combo. they didn't provide the salad as mentioned also no onions with pawbhaji.

Harsh Saraogi ordered Paneer Butter Masala and Chanaa Masala from here. First of all the packaging was the worst, Chanaa Masala was spilled all over in the polythene and Paneer Butter Masala, I don't have words to say (what a waste). I called the restaurant to ask about packaging, that guy (very rudely) said its not our mistake talk to Zomato about this and hung up the phone. There is no option to give 0 star and 1 is too much to give.

The peas in Matar paneer were raw. Overall taste was bad. Rotis were uncooked.

Roti Wala was an Average one. Rotis were soft and Good. We ordered Matar Paneer, Dhal and Bhindi Aloo Gravy. Matar was a Very Average one, Bhindi Aloo Gravy was Good and Dhal had a bad smell. The place seems to be very small.

Worst ever food 🤮. U people don't know the taste of paneer butter masala.. Worst taste ever.. Liquid dhal sabji.. Zelabi was sour in taste..😣<br/><br/>Packing was worst.. Phulka was hard.. Don't waste ur money on order from this.. 🙏

stuffing was not good

Finally..! Got something that I can actually call northern..! Almost northern taste with nominal prices..! Would definitely order frequently in the future. Go for it 🙏

pulka side dish very average..

No spoon were given and also packing was not up the mark.papdi chat was not good.<br/>

Worst Food one could ever have. Totally moved by the ratings provided by zomato which wasn't fair. The Shop did not provide enough Sabjis for the Phulkas ordered and also missed the Salads as ordered. First ever in my lifetime to see a Sabji without Vegetables except for Oil stagnation. Prolonging with this food is surely going to give me disastrous health issues. Personal opinion, Don't go for Rotiwala if you wanted a Quality, Hygienic and Delicious Food!

Food spilled out...photos are there as proof

no salad poor packing

allu paratha taste was not good

I ordered for aloo tikki and got plain channa instead.

Very bad packing and taste. The food was very very strong and the bread was not good

packaging and not all the items and taste is also not good

wow

bad quality<br/>

food was not tasty missed items as mentioned

Panneer Butter Masala looked and tasted below average. Packing was sub standard

Channa masala was delivered instead of bhel puri. Worst packaging everything was messed up.

very good

Good but need to improve the taste

very bad service

Packing was not fine. Food also not up to the mark

good

Who is the chef prepared food. Dont he know how to cook paratha.paratha was fully roasted.dont you know what to be give as gravy. Its just turmeric water. Even how can you give water dall. All the order itself went to dustbin itstead of our mouth. Dont purchase here. Two times same experience.

the food was spoiled. worst experience....

Kinda yucky actually. Had a raw taste to it. Definitely not ordering this again. The phulkas were the only saving grace. If I wasn't hungry, I would've dumped all of it.

worst

Worst packaging food was spoiled because of packaging

Please don't order food here. The packing was really worst that it got opened, before it gets delivered. <br/>They packed roti's in a newspaper. <br/>PLEASE DONT ORDER HERE

Not good quality food

dal should be more spicy

quantity is very less and taste is also ok only

very bad quality

Food is decent and the pricing is less as compared to other places . If you spend 100rs then you can have your stomach full.<br/>It is a small joint few chairs kept for sitting . I love the chaat it's yummy. Must try . And also the lassi.<br/>I ordered .<br/>Paneer paratha, sweet lassi, samosa chaat, pulka with sabzi.<br/>#rotiwala #adyar #chennai #zomatoreview #zomatoreviewer #chennaizomato #chaat #pulka #paratha

worst samosa and lassi anyone can ever have. masala had only boiled potatoes and red chilli powder. ordered second time for here and it was the last time. avoid ordering food from here.

nice

packaging should be done properly

not bad

it was like shit no onion and Lemon in pav bhaji and no sweet sauce in dahi poori , refund my money !

Chat items are bad.

it was not as expected

No salad in meal

worst

no sabji, aloo paratha was so bad

Worst food.. Totally unhygienic..Ordered food online and found the packing material is of very low quality ..i.e polybag used for packing hot dal and sabzi and rotis wrapped in a newpaper.. DON'T ORDER ....FIND ALTERNATIVE IF YOU WANT HEALTHY FOOD..!!

Order: butter phulka and aloo gobi masala 😍😍Tasted was on point 😋😋 at very reasonable pricing.! 😊 Money was worth the quantity and quality. A must visit. 👍👌🤘

Please guys don't ever go to this shop and please don't send children there !! This guy stole 500 RS from my brother with the help of the nearby ppl only we found that he was a fraud guys don't go to this shop !!!!<br/>

So if you are pure north indian food lover with pocket friendly food you want with fastest service then this place is perfect for you all. I have been to this place a lot they always have lots of paratha option and specially the sattu paratha, chinni or sugar partha, mixed paratha with some of paneer dish are awesome here and guys most importantly do not go with the space and the way this restaurant looks just order food, Make it parcel otherwise and have it in home otherwise dining here and sweating out i don't think people like with that small outer space with fan in this chennai weather. Lassi, Pani puri, Jalebi, Samosa must try menu here😎.

Pocket friendly, good taste, portion size commensurate with price and quick home delivery make this place a 4 for me. <br/><br/>Ordered samosa, phulka, paneer butter masala, mixed vegetable curry and jalebi. The order was delivered in 40 mins and super hot. <br/><br/>If you’re in a rush and want value for money go for this outlet’s home delivery service.

In case you are craving for the north Indian style food and your pocket doesn't permit you to visit fancy restaurant, Rotiwala is the place for you. They have various stuffed parathas and chaats. We managed to order dinner for less than Rs. 100 per person - 2 Ali paratha dal combo is priced at Rs.70 and we also tried jalebi at Rs.20. The stuffing is little less and jalebis were cold so not sure how fresh they were. preferably go for take away or online delivery as there is hardly any place to sit and also don't go looking for high degree of hygiene maintenance. It's kind of street style tasty food at affordable price.

Beware,they don't have menu shown on apps available.You will be ending up wasting your time.Ordered pavbhaji, restaurant called and asked they will deliver samosa as it's only available menu.

I really liked the food here. If u r searching for some real Indian chaats this is the place u should visit ..food is really tasty and priced at its best

Good food. Ordered one plate butter phulkas and mix veg curry. They gave 5 phulkas with a bowl full of side dish. If yu dont order side dish separately they give you 2 dhalls along with pickle at a very reasonable rate. Taste wise it is good. They have huge varieties for stuffed parathas and they have less options for side dish. Value for money 4.5/5.

Good place for North Indian Chat. You must try Papdi Chat and Dahi Batasha. I tried Paneer Butter Masala, and that is the speciality of Rotiwala Chat.

We went there around 11:20 PM and were really really hungry since it was too late we thought that it was getting closed suddenly the person over there told us that they can serve us and prepared whatever we ordered really quick. The food here is very very tasty for such an affordable price. There is no place to sit and eat there but it’s worth each and every penny.

This place is more of a take away, but their aloo parathas and Gobi parathas are really tasty with their sabzi. Their Phulkas and chappathis are not all that great though. Their lassis are also really good. Do stop by and try the parathas, if you happen to pass this small shop

Absolute VFM <br/>nothing more or nothing less <br/>Fast delivery <br/>Short eats <br/>Liked everything about them <br/><br/><br/>Skip if you dislike roadside eateries / very specific about hygiene / lactose &gluten issues

This place happened on one of those evenings when you just crave home-food.<br/>The place showcases some pretty great deals on the combos. It was a delivery through Swiggy, here is what arrived,<br/><br/>🔲 Full Roti Thank (HP3) - This consists of 5 Philkas, Dal and Sabji with Salad. The phulkas are amazing. Extremely soft and made from whole-wheat. This was the only good part of the thali. The Sabji was a soyabean one, it did not taste well. The dal was okayish. And hey there was NO SALAD!!!<br/><br/>🔲A small combo priced at INR 13. Yes you heard it, 13 bucks! Just for the sake of knowing how this deal turns out we got it!! The menu said it had 1 phulka with dal and Sabji. But hey, again surprise, no dal and Sabji was delivered! Just an extra phulka with the previous order.<br/><br/>🔲Pav Bhaji - This was a decent dish. Nothing great.<br/><br/>🔲Aloo paratha - Two parathas for INR 70. This was not a good paratha, the filling was almost negligible​.<br/><br/>🔲Jalebi - This was decent dessert, adequately sweet. But doubt it's freshness!<br/><br/>The packaging was terrible and the missing items made it worse. The only points are for the nice phulkas and the Jalebi. <br/><br/>Service - 1/5<br/>Vfm - 3/5<br/>Taste - 2/5<br/><br/>

<br/>This was my second visit to Rotiwala.<br/><br/>Food: Phulka Subji combo and a sweet Lassi <br/><br/>Phulka combo - 5 pieces of Phulka and two Subji's served. Phulka was soft and hot and Subji's tasted very well 👍 I'd suggest them to serve pickles in this combo. <br/><br/>Sweet Lassi - not freshly prepared, it was served from refrigerator. However it tasted very good 👍<br/><br/>Service - it was self service, my order was served very fast <br/><br/>Seating arrangements was not very comfortable to have food 👎<br/><br/>I had delicious Jalebi's here on my last visit. Wanted to try again this time but it was not available and they said their Jalebi's available only after 4.30 PM<br/><br/>Price - I paid 75 rupees (45 for the combo, 30 for the Lassi)<br/><br/>Pocket friendly and quality food 👍<br/>

Very decent food at cheap prices. Mainly paratha<br/>s and rotis as the name suggests, and waiting time was next to nothing. Would definitely go there again if nearby.
