Atchayam Foodbox, Koyambedu

​Though I’ve read about Atchayam foodbox a  few times(Courtesy: Foodie groups like Chennai Food Guide, United By Food etc. in Facebook), I didn’t have the time to go here. ​ ​Today, while returning home, the heavy traffic near Koyambedu pushed me closer to this place. Being the foodie I’m, I decided to try this place out and made the turn. ​ It really is automated as the sources claim. Except for a lady who takes care of the hygiene and another person who provides assistance to people who needs it, there was no one else. 3 counters with a touch screen and card reader in each. ​ ​Touch the screen, choose the food, swipe the card, sign on the screen, print the slip, your food will be in your hands within a minute. The heat lasted for the next 30 minutes which was the time taken by me to reach home, refresh and finish it up. It was a Veggie Paratha Combo, which had Veg Kothu Parotta, a small piece of Plaintainpith Vada, Cooked veggies and a gravy. ​They had also given a cup of onion raita

Veg Punjabee Bites, Anna Nagar

I’ve been to Veg Punjabee Bites few times. And this place was impressive every single time. First time I went, I had the Punjabi Thali. Priced at Rs. 175, it had these: Butter naan, Tandoori roti, 3 gravies, 1 rice, raita, salad, pickle, papad and sweet. The quantity was more than worth the price we pay for it and taste was pretty decent. The waiters were polite and attentive. Second time I was there, I had Stuffed Mushroom Tikka and Cheese Garlic Paratha Combo. To put in one word how this experience was: Divine ! Recently, I went here with my mom for dinner. It was a bit crowded at that time and we had to wait for like 5 minutes before we got a table. We had a Paneer Paratha, Stuffed Kulcha and Butter naan, with Dal Maharani to go with it. Hara Bhara Kebab was tried for starters and Fresh Lime Soda, Rabadi for the dessert. The portions were quite filling and the taste was, yet again, divine. All in all, I’ve been impressed everytime I’ve been here. Overall: Quantity: 4.5/5 Taste: 4/5
