You're after genuine South Indian flavours without the faffing about? Head down to Wote Street where Chennai Express has been quietly doing the business for years now. Walking in, you'll feel the warmth of a place that's genuinely busy most nights—families, couples, groups of mates all tucking in properly. The dosas are the real deal: crispy, impossibly thin, with fillings that taste like someone actually knows what they're doing. The sambar's got depth, the chutneys aren't an afterthought, and they're not afraid to do things the right way rather than the easy way.
