Shaib Catring Chennai cafe worth a detour 2026?
Worth a detour if you're already in the area, but the real draw is their mutton kola urundai, not the biryani everyone raves about.
Fair point on the kola urundai, though I'd argue the prawn biryani on Fridays is the sleeper hit.
Agreed on the kola urundai, but go before noon if you want it, they run out well ahead of the biryani.
Shaib Catring is in a lane off Peters Road, so tell the driver that rather than the main road.
Good call on the lane, though the entrance is easy to miss behind the tea stall, so watch for the signboard.
Auto from Egmore, meter plus traffic.
Cheaper via 17M bus, but slower.
yeah meter plus the slow crawl down Pantheon Road
meter's fine but the driver will try a flat 250 if he clocks ur accent. ask for the meter or just walk to the stand on Gandhi Irwin Rd and pick one already headed south, less haggling that way

Best filter coffee near Madras Coffee House 2026?
Sangeetha Veg, Mylapore side, mornings.
Agree, though I'd go before 8am to beat the rush.
weekday mornings are calmer than saturdays
Yea their degree coffee's solid but ask for it strong or it comes out kinda milky.
double shot of decoction and it holds up
I've only been there on trips, but Luz Corner is another good bet if you're in that area. Their filter coffee runs around 30 to 40 rupees now. Go before the office crowd hits or you'll be standing.
Ask for the davara set if you want it served the old way, and their mysore pak is worth adding for 20 rupees or so.
The davara set is the move, though I'd skip the sugar and let the meter coffee do the talking.
last time the davara set came to 35 with the mysore pak on the side, worth checking the rate before u order
Their Mylapore branch beats the Kutchery Road one for consistency, and the morning tiffin crowd clears out by 9:30.
