When it comes to a quintessential Chennai breakfast and tiffin ‘side’ dish, the vadacurry is certainly a crowd favourite, And those in the know say 64-year-old Mari Hotel in Saidapet is the place to go to get your fix of this dish that may look rather humble but is rich in the depth of flavours and textures it conveys to one’s palate. I venture out to this busy eatery to watch the making of the vadacurry and also taste some with an idli and set dosai, and return a vadacurry convert! Hope you enjoy this episode too. Take care, stay safe and strong; happy eating!

@@vipraymond7484 overhyped?? I didn't even know there was a dish like this, and I would thank Kripal for providing exposure not only to the outlet but to people like me who are not even aware of such awesome dishes.
Thank a ton for visiting our hotel and giving a positive review on our main dish. Hope you visit Mari hotel again. With love from Mari hotel 🖤
Hii.. if u mari hotel folk.. my thanks for running this business with high quality..
I m fan of ur vadacurry n kuruma..
During food lovers tv visit.. could hav recommend him the kuruma too..
As a customer to ur shop - pls try to be little more friendly..
Flexible with menu..
@@rangabashyamr sure I will sort all the issues soon.
Tell the address of the hotel
@@rameshhumar146 check description. Address is there..
@@rangabashyamr when I visit Chennai I'll definitely visit Mari Hotel, what a wonderful place, I imagine you are very proud of your parents, your heritage and the delicious food.
The fact that you had 2 servings of the vadacurry for just 1 idli and 1 set dosai itself is a testament to how awesome that vadacurry is.
Mr Natraj is the best Brand Ambassador! A perfect example of consumer loyalty which speaks volume of the quality of food!
The vada curry started in a supporting role and ended up as a hero 🙂
Started as Rajnikant and now ended up as Super star 👍
@@lokeshwaran.03same what I thought
Thanks for the feature. It brought back memories of my dad who is no more now. He grew up in Saidapet and was very fond of Mari hotel and it's vadacurry. This eatery is definitely in my bucket list when I visit India next time!
Mari hotel is a very humble outlet which dishes out the best vada curry in Chennai. But, how on earth did you manage to drive in this narrow Saidapet street?
I am from chennai I have tried many times here best vadacurry for decades🤙❣️
‘Bach pan me aata hai , khaata hai jaata hai’.. that’s the moment went Kripal sir could not contain the laughter .. 😊😊
Just another proof that Tamils don't hate Hindi, but only when it is forcibly thrust on u, or imposed on u.
Saidapettai Vadacurrey is part of Chennai folklore... There are old movie songs which have Saidapettai Vadacurrey as part of its lyrics
The romance you have with food and your poetry about each dish will make anyone fall in love with the hotel when they go
Love to watch ur videos...welcome to Chennai
Great that you have tasted it in the right place and my fav is the set dosa with vadacurry. We used to have it with my dad. you won't see any fancy welcome or advertisement but it serves the purpose of healthy food.
I'm your fan....and I'm so happy to see you in Chennai....keep rocking....💐💐💐
Is there a double like button here..., Kripal you are amazing going all the way to small but famous eateries in South India is a great initiative. Let me know if you will be interested to visit Coimbatore. Thank you.
🙏 hope to visit Coimbatore someday too.
@@FoodLoversTV madurai also sir
@@FoodLoversTVplease visit Sree Annaporna hotelAnandas and Aryas in Coimbatore.
Vada Curry !!! Must try in Chennai !! Looks awesome
Certainly a must try, Chandan.
Kripal you are awesome. The way you described the vadacurry was remarkable. Keep it up
Vadacurry on my list now 🥰. Thanks for sharing
You almost cooked the vadacurry by your elaborate explanation. Well done. I shall visit one day. Been in chennai and didn't know about this place.
Mr Natraj was a great personality. Pachaas saal se atha hai katha hai jatha hai 😎👍
Being a resident of Chennai for 4 decades and being ardent fan of vadacurry, it's shameful that I did not know this place. Thanks Sir for enlightening me.
Enjoyed this vlog. The traditional food looks Delicious
Thoroughly enjoyed this episode kripal sir
@Kripal sir finally the wait to watch you savour Vada curry is over thoroughly enjoyed it especially the place being small has high quality especially the Vada curry was perfect for dosa... waiting for next one
Wt ever speak only kannada
@@VijayKumar-nd9ee abhe sale
Surely you brought back memories of my college days. I used to visit this place at least twice or thrice a month as pocket money was tight those days. I shall definitely visit this place during my next trip to Chennai.
Good Review about Mari Hotel vadacurry
🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇
Also it's not just onion... It's shallots / Small onion... Which also a key ingredients to make best ever Vadacurry
Super , Thanks
Thanks for covering this place. This Place is famous for Vadacurry. The preparation is different. They crush the vadas with ural stone or grinding stone, which is unique. Likely this is an alternative vegetarian side dish for breakfast, especially in non veg hotels. Of course this is a signature breakfast dish consumed a lot in Chennai.
Oh my y favourite side dish Vada curry....going to taste it soon. Thank you very much sir
Sir,I live in west mambalam ,adjacent area of saidapet.i am 56 years old,but a gentleman from Karnataka shows the best item available there.good tutor of great gourmet.kripal Anna rocks. 👍

Kripal Sir thanks to you for this video for showing one of the best dish which is specifically related to Chennai...actually Mari hotel vadacurry is one of the best flavour you can get in other eateries!!
Uncle Ji happy to see another food review in Chennai.Mari Hotel vada curry is so famous in our place.
This was such a joy to watch, such a humble vada curry devoured for so many years! I'd love to eat here, I'd be so happy and content. Yes, Chennai is my next stop when I return to India.
Wow vadacurry looks indeed yummy it is a unique dish nice to know its famous in Chennai thanks for this Kripal Sir 👍🏻😊
Your message is very interesting. Wish to visit Mari hotel to taste Vada kari
Im residing in this locality for past 28 years and At least once in a month we will get vadacurry from here. One of the best. Highly recommended! 🤤
These outlets are very straightforward in sharing their recipe secrets. They are simple, humble and clean hearted. The look of the dish shows it has quality. Kripal Ji. Thanks for showcasing this place. I will definitely go there during my next Chennai visit.
Thanks for presenting this video dedicated to Madras own pride, Mari hotel vadakari
This particular Vadacurry has a big part in my childhood days. Technically grew up with it. Back in early 2000's, my mother used to packs me only idlies or dosas and nothing else fo twice a week. My grandpa is one who takes me and my brother to school and we'll stop here midway and the hotel will be covered by people like housefly over the parcel counter jus for this Legendary Vadacurry. Every weekends, returning from a trip, and basically every trip began with the Dosa and Vadacurry as a breakfast from here. The hotel used to run outta Vadacurry in the morning sooner than you think. and you can't buy it on Monday cuz of the hotel holiday. For many people in Saidapet and around it, this Vadacurry plays a huge role in their life unknowingly. The taste got slightly altered as the years go by but the people's love n craze over this dish is as same as ever. I think for the comical phrase in tamizh, " Uttalakkadi giri giri, saidapetta vadacurry " originated here....
Love for this Vadacurry is a never ending story...

If you were here pre-covid, you could have visited another hotel named " Gowri Nivas " which is at the end of the street from where Mari is located. They shut it down for some reasons and you would have had one of best crispyfied dosa ever.
Today morning only I had vadacurry nd now this video,,,,!!!!!!!!
Great 👌👌👌
Authentic vadacurry ❤️❤️❤️
ನಿಮ್ಮ ಪ್ರತಿ ವಿಡಿಯೋದಲ್ಲಿ ಏನಾದರೂ ಸ್ಪೆಷಲ್ ಇದ್ದೆ ಇರುತ್ತೆ ಕೃಪಾಲ್ ಸರ್ 😊 ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ನೀವು ಸ್ಪೆಷಲ್ ಕೃಪಾಲ್ ಸರ್🤝

Chennai special.....
நாங்கள் சிறிது காலம் சைதாப்பேட்டையில் வசித்தோம்.... மாரி ஓட்டல் வடகறி 👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿😋😋😋😋
Dear Mr kripal your expression on savouring vadacurry was exemplary than explanation. Keep up the good work 🙂
Dear Kripal Ammana Sir..I really get that vadacurry smell in where I'm staying in Oman...ure expression on 🥝 food really enjoyable....pls mention this comment on next video...
Vadacurry taste is really good...
As you taste the curry there in Chennai
My month waters here in Bengaluru 🤤
From my childhood i know this hotel and tasted
Ardent admirer of your shows, love your euphemistic style of narration when you talk about dishes that are not the best! Looking forward to your next post and the next and the next... If I may let you know- Pattani paruppu is matar ki dal - not fried gram. It is freely available in Tamil Nadu but not in Karnataka!
Ammannaji u visited the best vadacurry hotel in saidapet Chennai n u made useful n lovely food review way to go
Vadacurry originally prepared using left over Vada and left over vegetables in hotel. Hotels prepare this on the evening using the vada and vegetables left overs from breakfast and lunch. Eventually now it has become a dish of its own .
Looking for more videos in Chennai ❤️
I hope to return in the near future, Rakesh, and explore more.
It's my favourite joint for Dosa Vadacari of Mari Hotel
Thanks Kripal sir for visiting this place, one of the most iconic restaurants in Chennai, extremely addicting vadacurry at Mari Hotel, now am pretty sure every time u visit Chennai, this dish at this hotel will be in the top of your list ;)
As they say, have one plate of set dosa and vadacurry at Mari hotel, and you will have a very satisfying sound sleep ;)
You have made my day kripal
Simply excellent
Happy to learn, Mithun.
Hello Sir never thought that you will visit places like saidapet etc. This is where I born and brought up. Happy eating
Love u bro...just bcos u kept saying Dose n not Dosa...lots of love bro
For a simple vadacurry I have not expected this much poetic explanation for nearly 10 minutes. Kripal bro...again you made a great magic with your cordial words.
Shatappa
Nice video
Hello Kripal!! I am so so happy for the divine experience that you had at hotel Mari. I was very sad after your okayish experiences at Sundari akka kadai and Trouser kadai. Those foods failed to bring out the enthusiastic Kripal in you. Glad this Vadacurry did that😊😊 I am happy because you are happy after eating food at Enga Madras!! Keep eating...and so us❤
Much as I enjoyed the vadacurry, I also relished some interesting finds at the other two places too.
@kripal sir, I am also an foodie of chennai and visited sundari akka and trouser kadai.but was disappointed, hence let us not deceive people by the hype of these 2..
@@arunkumar-pc6ng No he did not gave any hype. Like I said, I felt the disappointment in him while he visited those shops. Glad that Mari hotel compensated way more than expected!
👌 southern Tamil Nadu ...many people doesn't know what vadakari is ...GREAT EFFORT TO BRING THIS FORGOTTEN OLD DISH
