South Indian Mess & Restaurant

Rustic but Authentic just like they used to be back in the glory days. One of the last remaining genuinely good South Indian places in the city. Nair Anna is a gem of a person to talk to💯

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)"

Iconic, unpretentious South Indian restaurant of Nagpur. Opens early in the morning for all day South Indian breakfast. Traditional rice thalis available for lunch. Affordable prices and quick service.

It's one of my childhood memorable places with my father 🤗 Great human's own great place!

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.

Excellent Filter Coffee. The place has a warm feeling, it feels like stepping into the history. The owner is genuinely nice and the overall experience has an old world charm to it, thanks to his hospitality. Compare that with the indifferent useless guy who sits at the counter of Gokul Vrindavan next door and you will realize how rare it is get a good service in this part of the world.

Authentic South Indian taste. I have been visiting this place since my childhood. Sambar is awesome!!
Dosa and idly are equally good. Friendly staff and nice service.
You will love the filter coffee.

Old south Indian snaks center.What a taste of sambar and chutney.Traditional taste by Nair family.

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

Down to earth, excellent taste sumptuous portions. My favourite south indian restaurant for authentic Kerala veg food

Excellent and Authentic south indian snacks.
Best in Nagpur . Value for money

Problem with this place is inconsistent taste. Some days you feel it can beat all other restaurants hands down while some other days you can't even finish one katori of sambar. Don't ask which days of the week are better 😁
