45 years ago, a young lad found himself at a difficult crossroad.He was interested in photography and cinema, but the financial situation at home compelled him to give up his education and take up a job in a restaurant. Working 18 hours a day, life was tough, he spent many nights with no roof over his head. Things got better, when he and his family set up two restaurants in Chennai. Unfortunately, the restaurants failed and they had to begin all over again. This is hardly the kind of backstory one would expect to hear of Chennai’s iconic Sangeetha vegetarian chain of restaurants. But these are exactly the kind of challenges Mr. Suresh and his family endured to build 50 restaurants over the years. I caught up with him at their flagship Adyar restaurant, where I relished a delightful Tamil Nadu meal which in addition to highlighting the cuisine of the land is also accommodative enough to encompass flavours beyond the borders of the state.
I hope you enjoy my last saapad from this Gourmet On The Road, Chennai tour. Take care; stay safe and strong. Happy eating!

The episode ending line “ I think I will have some more payasam “ was 😁👌!!Epic, only Kripal can !!

But this guy won't talk Kannada
I am from Bangalore and currently live in the US but have visited Sangeeta a couple times during my previous visits to Chennai. Very good and hygenic food and atmosphere. Kudos to the owner's perseverance. It is because of such hard work that some of us are able to easily walk in and order up and enjoy and leave. Kudos to kripal and team for this behind the scenes stories of struggles!!
Suresh Anna, Nice to hear Kannada in Chennai Love from Karnataka
Kannadigas always welcomed in chennai
@@karthiknetworking2415in entire Tamilnadu infact
We have many kannadigas in tamilnadu and Chennai
The owner speaks Kannada so fluent 🙌
Restaurant owner is so humble
The green tomato Kootu reminded me of my late grandmother. She was from Kumbakonam in Tamil Nadu and this dish was her specialty.
What a wonderful memory, thank you for sharing.🙏
Wow love to hear his Kannada 🥰😍
Nice to hear you are in Chennai. Am from Bangalore but living in Chennai.
Thanks for showing Sangeeta restaurant.❤
It's 12:18 am in the US and I'm watching this video. Kripal sir, please consider my current situation. 😭😭😭.
Watching 400kms from International space station…but I’m like everybody else..nothing special abt me
@@Akshaycatch22 Oh, you are doing a poor job.
What’s the big deal watching it from US ? Loser …
Great ❤❤
Anyone stopping you to come back India and enjoy the food every day? 🤣🤣🤣
Kripalji,
Nice to see you swtchover to Vegetarian for this episode. Always enjoyed food at Sangeetha whenever I visit Chennai. thanks you
Sir, pls start ur sangeetha hotel at Bangalore too....I have tasted idiyapam at ur sangeetha when I visited Chennai.....I loved it sooo much.....pls start one at Bangalore too pls....
Particularly in Basavanagudi❤❤❤
May not be feasible in Bangalore as lot of Veg hotels/ carts are there. Also fir Mr.Suresh won't be possible considering logistic aspects
Don't corrupt him. Let he be safe in Chennai.
Now the trend in Bangalore city is Ambur Briyani, Talapa Briyani, Hyderabadi Briyani, Dhonne Biriyani, Hoskote Briyani ( people queue up from 5 in the morning), Ajmeer Briyani, etc.
He cannot compete and survive.😊😊
The rava dose that they prepare here with pepper corns , cashew, chilly , ginger 😋 is so tasty and crunchy ....one of the best 👌 veg restaurant chain in thamizhnadu
One great thing about Suresh is that he continues to learn and evolve and that's the reason for his success.
ತಮಿಳುನಾಡಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಕನ್ನಡ ಕೇಳಕ್ಕೆ ತುಂಬಾ ಸಂತೋಷವಾಗಿದೆ ಹಿತವಾಗಿದೆ
ಹೌದು
I pray that Seeman should not see this. Otherwise he will close this restaurant.
@@vijayvignesh7193 😂 That is not Karnataka! That is Tamilnadu. So don't worry!
@@samwienska1703 I'm from Tamil Nadu. Worrying for his business.
@@vijayvignesh7193 so, then you may go to the hotel owner & ask for a security job! So that you can protect his business and have some peace of mind. That will be a great service for both Tamil people & Kannada people. You will be cherished in the hearts of all Indians.
Amazing vlog sir. Love from Canada
Its actually wonderful
Kripal what makes your vlogs so interesting is you figure out the past history, owner's interest in day to day operations and they are immersed with passion. This is what keeps you unique and amazing stories have be curated by you that is now a great way to spend time. It adds value, ethics and moral. What is more interesting in this was trying out the cuisine at different places along with core team to bring back the taste and serve customers. Amazing thank you for detailing 🙂
Thank you, Sunny. Glad you enjoy our work. Appreciate your kind words. 🙏
Good Morning sir.
Watched your video sir.iam also pure vegetarian foodee.So iam regularly watching your videos.
Thankyou sir for posting video.
Many of us feel,
That chennai veg restaurants are expensive,
It is because of quality of ingredients and ambience,
And labour ofcourse,
Awesome journey of Sangeeta restaurant, it's a best place to eat during my visit to Chennai. My humble suggestion, please maintain the video duration between 12 to 15 minutes
Mouth watering receiped❤
Fantastic ❤such a lovely episode 💗
When was this? I live close by. I have missed a selfie of a legend, whose channel, I never miss. Phew!
Omg love the tiffin items here at Sangeetha
Next time i visit Chennai must have their Tamil Nadu meals
Kripal, again visiting ONE MORE Udupi origine oldest Hotel in TN, my favorite, always ensures quality, hygen, taste, variety
It is very nice to see your video after a long time.
I have eaten food from most of the Sangeetha branches at Chennai whether it is at Mylapore Adayar Kovilampakkam Ponnamallee Or at R A Puram I enjoyed the very tasty food. Thanks to the owners Rajagopal and Suresh. Never miss visiting the restaurants whenever at Chennai.❤
Their thakali kootu is an iconic dish. We used to have it in their Alwarpet branch 25 years back.
So weirdly coincidental that this episode popped up today ..My friend just informed me that there is this very good South Indian place that has opened up in Parsippany NJ,USA. So I was planning to go there and it’s Sangeetha😁
That’s a happy coincidence. Hope you enjoy your meal in NJ.
Super ❤😊
Super ❤
Great 👌 Chennai has many great places serving unlimited banana leaf meals ofcourse u would have to shortlist to few 👍😊
Very nicely capture, by the way kripal ji papad also there in menu, but not tasted.
Sangeetha restaurants one of best in gulf. Clean hygienic and serves best.
This food looks yummy...❤
Very pleased to see the gentleman conversing in Kannada ❤
Udupi roots, clearly heard it in his kannada👌
We have one in Toronto now. Meals my favorite. Not many restaurants serve on banana leaf here
Happy for Visiting Chennai love from Mysuru 🌹🌹🙏🙏♥️♥️💯
Hi Suresh we are proud to see you.All the best.
Awesome
സൂപ്പർ 😍🤘
Nice video 👍
Sangeetha outlet is v good ....ambience,food,service all r excellent. I am also from B'lore...settled in Chennai. Medavakkam outlet is also good.
been there last year Kripal. really nice food.
Chennai and especially old localities like Adyar, Triplicane and Mylapore have so many Udupi restaurants. Was in Chennai for 2 years and didnt miss Bangalore food. Only thing I missed was Bangalore weather
Pl try the Akshaya restaurant at Velachery. It is simply superb for lunch and the taste is the best. Positively better than what has been described in this video
Super Food Sir 🥘🥘🥘
You have to explore more dear...
Good mouth watering items.
Urad Dhal Bonda/ mixed Bajiya with a mini coffee my staple evenings between Haddows Road & town for many years during my Chennai Days
mouth watering mate
He learnt it from Saravana bhavan, Saravana bhavan is the legend to made this hotel business global.
He learnt from their mistakes and needless to say Sangeetha today is on top of the charts , be it quality , service and consistency .. o Saravananbhavan outlet is my next door but I travel 6kms to Sangeetha ..
❤❤
My favourite and heart touching foods taste and food quality this restaurant
My first job was in Chennai with office in Haddows Road. I have had lunch a thousand times in Sangeetha as it was walkable from my office and had one of the best food in the area. Never knew it was run by Kannadigas then, but really enjoyed the food and honest service. Had a lot of Tamil friends there who were absolutely amazing to me. Almost all of them are very successful today but still so down to earth. Love the culture. This was almost 25 years ago but love the fond memories.
Wonderful memories! Thank you for sharing them here.
Super 👌 👍
Sangeetha is absolutely excellent.
I wonder if good restaurants like Sangeetha in Chennai are really too expensive. A comparative quality restaurant chain like Chutneys in Hyderabad charges ₹₹200 for a masala dosa/rava dosa/poori, ₹140 for a plate of vada and ₹90 for a cup of coffee.
Being a native of Guntur, I am delighted to find our great delicacy of Gongoora Pacchadi being served here at Sangeetha.
A great video, Mr Kripal. Your conversation with Mr Suresh is as delightful as your lunch is delicious.
Truly traditional food. Just a little concerned about food wastage....kripal any thoughts on how to minimise it for traditional thali meals?
Soul food 🔥🤤
nice video
Nice
Oh last month i went to this sangeetha restaurant a very good hotel to have a nice food. I missed meeting kripal sir
I have eaten my meals and now saw this ... Now I'm feeling like I haven't taken meals, want to have this meal
Met Mr.Suresh in 1996 in his lone Mylapore outlet for a get together feast. He organised it so well - North Indian food and told us that he wouldnt charge for some extra people. We had 20 plus extra and he did not charge any extra amount. Sangeetha has come a long way, an identity of Chennai.
Adyar outlet is a/c and charges high. But there are evening combos reasonably priced and very good. I live in Adyar area but due to crowd, small portions and poor service dont visit for lunch. All the best to him.
Surprisingly the outlets that Sangeetha pulled out due to some issues are much better than Sangeetha today. Be it fóod, ambience, service or price.
Kindly visit Thinniri hotel in belagavi...opened 4yrs back ....top hotel for breakfast....very passionate people for giving good quality food...
Seasame seed rice a.k.a. ellu saadham on saturdays to his customers as a bonus,,
The owner has Shani adipathyam in his horoscope and his jothisha has asked him to do this i guess. Easiest pariharam for his continued success in his business ❤❤
Ellu daanam😂
Please visit Kasi Vinayaga mess in Triplicane, Chennai. That's the best place to have meals in Chennai, hands down.
👌
Proud Tuluva
Yes kripaal sir .as you said ..the sangeetha restaurant has influence of kerala, karnataka, and thamizhnadu ....which is very unique to taste 👌 all the 3 state flavourful cuisine.
Andhra as well.. paruppu podi is found in Andhra meals.
Being 25 years I live in Chennai …Sangeetha has very well overcome from their competitors and today they are the no 1 in Chennai.
I find Chennai is very expensive when it comes to food🥲
Very true..Sangeetha,Saravana Bhavan and A2B these are the big chains but cost is sky high
Yes,if you to other cities,chennai is too expensive,no relation with quality of food and price they charge for food,just exobirent.
They are big chains spread all over the world so cost will be high.
Yes..too much
Yes
Sangeetha is always one of the eateries for comfort food for chennaites. A2b as well.
hi gud morning sir maximum veg foods na explore madi
ಸುರೇಶ ಅವರಿಗೆ ನಮಸ್ಕಾರ. ನೀವು ಒಂದಸಲ ಗುಲ್ಬರ್ಗದ ರೊಟ್ಟಿ ಊಟ ಪ್ರಯತ್ನಿಸಿ.
Welcome to Chennai city kripal sir, how are you sir?
My humble request please visit Anna nagar area Hotel Bhavyam veg restaurant, and Shri Gowri Krishna veg restaurant, and alwarpet area C P Ramaswamy road, hotel Eating circle veg restaurant, excellent superb fantastic, please consider sir.have a nice day.all the very best for your future career 🙏.
Bangalore is no way better. The only consolation is most of the good restaurent in Chennai serve good tasty food which is far lagging in Bangalore city, of late. Seeing the left overs in the plates by customers.😊😊
Please Open Kerala also 👍❤️🥰🙏
Actually in chennai the food cost is less price compare to other cities
👍
Please pay a visit to Astoria Veg located at OMR Thoraipakkam, Chennai and try their veg meals which was highly recommended to me by the localites. I'm from Bangalore, I stayed in Chennai due to work for 2 years and used to visit this restaurant for lunch everyday. My mouth is watering just by remembering the place🤤🤤❤❤
I love Sangeeta restaurant
kripalji, Sangeetha at Parrys corner, you should visit. It is like a mess, which caters to the advocates and all the bank officials over there; without that mess, one could not have lunch daily; it is very cheap and more customers over there.
Sangeetha Restaurant in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia offers delicious food too but personally I find the prices are high
You have to taste aviyal with sambharrive and curd rice
Sur Appalam missing
I frequently visit this hotel with my family as it is close to my place and not one time has this restaurant disappointed us. Adyar Sangeetha is must visit place for those who like good food. Sad that I missed meeting Kripal Amana again.
Adyar Sangeetha serves amazing masala dosha and chilli idli as well
Request you to visit raithula Ruchi ramagondanahalli white field Bangalore
Why you don't start in pune?
They have opened in London also
Good afternoon dear Kripal - Wow it’s vlog on Sangeeta restaurant. It’s one of my family’s go-to place for dining whenever we are in Chennai . Hello to the owner Mr Suresh 👋 Kitchen tour was , as always, brilliant. The kitchen is also very hygienic. Time to savour the Tamil Nadu meals ; So we have the following dishes; Pal Payasam ( in Adapradhaman style ) Veg Dum Biryani , Ellu Saadham , Avial , Mix Veg curry ; Green tomatoes Kai Kootu , Manathakkali Vathal K Kuzhambu , Keerai Poriyal , Panchamritam . Mix Veg Poriyal . Time to savour the delicacies Staring of with the Chappathi along with the side dishes . Truly inspirational story of Mr Suresh 🙏Time to introduce the Soodu Saadham with Paruppu Podi , Nei & Gonkura chutney . This is a comfort food for me and I can happily savour this dish . The tartness and spicy GC made you , initially squirm a bit before going for the second bite 😀 VK rice is one of my favourites . Ha ha time to cool down the heat by having a glass of Neer More 👍 I am curious to know why you didn’t have an Appalam either with the mixed rice or with the Payasam . Is it because it’s deep fried ? Avial is my Dad’s favourite ( will share the vlog with him ) . The Chinna Vengayam Paruppu Thogaiyal with rice is a super fab combo . It’s Rasam rice and it’s the most comfort food and yet super flavourful . The Pal Payasam is similar to the Ada Pradhanam . You polished off the Panchamirham . I love Mr Suresh’s passion to ensure that they always maintain high standards in terms of quality , price & service 💯💯💯 Thoroughly enjoyed this vlog as it brought back some wonderful memories that I had with my family & friends . Thanks for dishing out such a special vlog to us 🙏 Take care , God bless 😇 & Happy weekend 👍 Loads of love & respect 🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️ Tomorrow could we watch a moto vlog on KA channel ?
Hi Rajesh, nice to learn this is your family's go-to veg place for dining in Chennai. Sangeetha Adyar certainly enjoys a stellar reputation for its vegetarian fare, that is prepared with a great deal of attention as I could see during my kitchen tours here. This Tamil Nadu meal was delicious to say the least. We should have a vlog on the Kripal Amanna Vlogs channel tomorrow, not a motovlog though and a bit different from the usual content. 🙂Hope you enjoy it.
@@FoodLoversTV Thanks so much dear Kripal . Love your Sunday KA vlogs . It’s so different & informative 👌👌 Haw a wonderful weekend and my regards to your “Boss” ❤️❤️🙏🙏
அருமை 🎉 கிரிப்பல்
Kripal's veg food episode 23 mins and non veg episode 46 mins❤😊
Please do visit us and have a lunch with us in our home during next visit to Mysore.
This outlet in Adyar is not as good as the one in R A. Puram. In adyar, the items are spicy. The place lacks cleanliness in and around wash basin and kitchen. Tastewise, there's a room for lot of improvement.
They are riding on past glory.
Any reason why sangeetha owners full name is not mentioned?
I recommend kripal to wear seat belts whilst travelling in cars
