Hotel Aaryas & Manoj Bhavan are the places which are often visited by people who are leaving or entering Chennai, as it is located in Tindivanam and it can be a good spot for refreshing up and both of these places have a stunning & gorgeous ambience. Both of these restaurants have two outlets one on each side (towards Chennai & leaving Chennai).
These Restaurants are located Exactly 99 km from Koyambedu Bus Stand in Tindivanam, often searched as โ99 km hotelโ and people who are leaving Chennai to other Places like Pondicherry, Madurai, Salem, etc will definitely stop in any of the two places for sure. Yes there are places like Madurai Idly kadai, Vasantha bhavan and many more restaurants but these places are affordable and budget friendly and thatโs why people visit here often.
So Today we will be comparing both the places based on few criteria and will let you know which place is the best ! Also is the quality of food good here ? And do they have proper car parking ? Are their wash rooms clean ? Letโs check it out
The Entire Comparison will be based on 3 Things and I will mention it accordingly ๐
- Restaurant Ambience & Parking Facilities ๐
- Ambiance Inside the Restaurant ๐ก
- Food ๐ฑ๐
Hotel Aaryas vs Manoj Bhavan
1. Restaurant Ambiance & Parking facilities
Hotel Aaryas โย This Place has a Decent Ambience but the parking here is not entirely enclosed within the building ๐ (Not a Closed Layout just a Normal Parking outside the Restaurant) meaning that you can just pull over your vehicle to the left from the Main road and Boom parking is Done.ย They Also have Decent Restrooms as most people stop here just to use the Restrooms. So Overall a Decent Place ๐ก
Manoj Bhavan โย When you See this building you would go โWow Oh My Godโ because the Architecture work put on this is Marvellous and clearly you will get the feel of a Luxurious Hotel and about the Kids Play Area it is quite big compared to Aaryas and has a Small Playground and the Restrooms are twice as Big as Aaryas also this place has Closed Parking Facilities
Conclusion โ Manoj Bhavan is Clearly the Winner here with Gorgeous & Stunning Architecture & Closed Parking Facilities ๐ฅ
2. Ambianceย Inside the Restaurant
Hotel Aaryas โ Feels Like Normal Restaurant both Non- A/C & A/C are Available but itโllโ always be Crowded so you have to wait for a while ๐ค
Manoj Bhavan โ Great Ambience Feels like a Multi cuisine Restaurant same as Aaryaโs this is also Crowded a Bit๐ค
Conclusion โย Itโs basically a Draw between these Two Places in Ambiance Inside the Restaurant ๐ถ๐
3. Food
So This is why we visit the Restaurants in the first place so if the Food is not God Screw the Ambiance & Hospitality. First Iโll be writing about Hotel Aaryas & then Manoj Bhavan.๐ฝ
Food in Hotel Aaryas
When I First Visited this Place I thought itโs just a normal Restaurant ๐ฒ but when we sat there and Ordered food we were quite surprised on the very first impression especially due to their โUnlimited Refills of Chutney ๐ฑ & Sambarโ yes you heard it right and some might think โWe Always get Free Chutney & Sambarโ yes, but they would keep 3 Cups of Chutney & 2 Cups of Chilli Powder (Normal & Garlic Powder) in your table and even if you Order just 2 Idly you can have as much as Chutney you want ๐๐
As you can see this will always be Refilled as per Customerโs Request now moving on to the Dishes ๐ฎ
Idly โ โน17.50 Rupees/ Piece, Vadai โ โน23 Rupees & Poori โ โน57 Rupees (AC Rates)
Idly was Piping Hot as well as Vadai and Chutney was refilled for new customers and all three were good but I loved the Red Chilli Chutney ๐ถ๐ which was Delicious and got hooked to the Garlic Chili Powder ๐ which was out of the world โTHE BESTโ we even got a Pack of those Garlic Chilli Powder parcel as they make their own Chili powder and it is kinda a Secret Recipe. Plus Poori was kinda Big like Chola Bhature and it was good, but I am a Morning Idly Person so technically Idly Turns me On xD ๐ค๐๐๐ฏ
Coffee โ โน29 Rupees & Badam Milk Hot โ โน38 Rupees
Ending the Meal with Hot Coffee & Badam Milk and also you must try their Badam Milk this is the best Iโve ever had and canโt find any Badam Milk in Chennai with this Quality yet ๐
So Thatโs it for Hotel Aaryas Lets Move on to Manoj Bhavan ๐๐
Food in Manoj Bhavan
Iโve always wanted to try food from here as I was so Attracted by the Ambience thus we visited this place when we were returning to Chennai and it was way below our expectations and that was my last visit to the place
Idly & Vadacurry โ โน70 rupees
I Ordered Idly & Vadacurry it was Fresh & Hot and the Chutneyโs provided was so good especially fell in love with their coconut chutney and Tomato Chutney but still the quantity provided was way less that is not even enough for half the idly and even they do know that customers will ask for refills so Why canโt they place the chutneyโs in table like Hotel Aaryas ???ย it might be a small issue here but I donโt want to call the waiter every single time for a cup of chutney also imagine a family of 10 or 12 visiting this restaurant and the amount of pressure on the waiters to refill sambar & Chutney
And to be frank no middle class people might visit here because on my first visit 70% of the car were luxurious, and they might not feel the difference if they have been the regular customers of the place.
That Brings us to the End of the Review for Manoj Bhavan so Letโs Conclude it ๐
Hotel Aaryas โ The Food serves here is delicious and service is the best they always refill the chutney & sambar. A/C rates are reasonable and Iโd visit this place just to have their food with garlic chilli powder xD
