Ghee Pongal

Start your day with a Chennai classic. The Ghee Pongal at Sangeetha is soft, buttery, and flavored with pepper, ginger, cumin, and a touch of ghee. Served with sambar and fresh chutneys, it’s the perfect way to enjoy a warm, wholesome South Indian breakfast.


Sambar Vada

For something crispy yet soaked in flavor, Sambar Vada is a must-try. Crisp medu vadas are immersed in hot, tangy sambar and garnished with fresh coriander and onions. The contrast of textures and deep flavor makes this dish a local favorite for both breakfast and evening tiffin.


Filter Coffee

No breakfast in Chennai is complete without a tumbler of frothy, aromatic Filter Coffee. Brewed to perfection and served in traditional steel, it’s the city's caffeine ritual—and a must for every first-time visitor.


South Indian Thali (Weekday Special)

For lunch, locals love the South Indian Thali, a wholesome spread of steamed rice, sambar, rasam, kootu, poriyal, appalam, curd, and pickle, rounded off with a sweet. Served traditionally on a banana leaf, it reflects everything Chennai stands for—balance, taste, and authenticity.


Special Juice:  Mark’s Favourite 

Prefer something light and refreshing? Try Mark’s Favourite Juice, a vibrant mix of Strawberry, Orange, and Sweet Lime juices that delivers the right balance of sweetness and tang. It’s fresh, colorful, and perfect alongside a hearty breakfast.


Special Juice: Magic Boy 

Want something bold and energizing? Go for the Magic Boy Juice, a power-packed fusion of Sweet Lime, Orange, Apple, Pineapple, and Grape, with a zesty kick of Ginger Lemon. It’s a burst of freshness and flavor in every sip—perfect for those who like to start their mornings with a twist.


Schezwan Fried Rice & Gobi Manchurian


Craving something spicy and fusion-style? The Schezwan Fried Rice delivers just the right punch, and when paired with crispy Gobi Manchurian, it becomes a perfect Indo-Chinese meal to end the day with a flavorful twist.


Phulka with Paneer Butter Masala


For a lighter yet indulgent dinner, locals often go for soft phulkas served with rich, creamy Paneer Butter Masala. Mildly spiced and deeply satisfying, it’s a dish that brings together comfort and celebration in every bite.


Badam Halwa


Rich, warm, and indulgent, the Badam Halwa is made from pure ground almonds and slow-cooked in ghee and sugar. Topped with roasted cashews and a hint of cardamom, it’s the dessert locals choose when they want to end the meal on a high note.


Rose Milk


Cool, nostalgic, and beautifully pink, Rose Milk is a signature drink that’s both refreshing and comforting. Its mild sweetness makes it ideal after a spicy meal or as a sweet treat on its own.


And there’s always something new—just ask us in the evening for the special snack of the day!
