6. Jyoti Vihar
This is my ultimate favourite when it comes to South Indian food and though quite close in taste to Bhupendra Mansion, Jyoti Vihar is what the locals absolutely swear by and since times even before they can recall! Very basic interiors and that typical smell of sambar that is sufficient to fill you with pangs of hunger, head here for the ghee butter dosa, dooba hua idli (idli dumped in sambar), special chutney and the filter coffee!
