Eden  (add. below - Besant Nagar is south? of Thiruvanmayur)

Enter a place where the food served is delicious and sumptuous and where continental and south Indian cuisines happen to be the fares of the day. The name is definitely bound to bowl you over. The place, like the legendary Garden of Eden, is one you won’t want to miss. In spite of numerous eateries and restaurants mushrooming around Besant Nagar the compact restaurant has managed to survive and is still noted for serving mouth watering creations. The comfortable and soothing atmosphere inside the restaurant also add to its charm.

The creators of this popular eatery, Aparna, Venkatesh and Subhadra, were former students of the Institute of Hotel Management, Chennai. They decided to start a restaurant when they passed out of college. Moreover as all of them as felt mutually passionate about food the idea of setting up a restaurant was welcomed. Thus Eden was born 11 years ago. Eden is one of the oldest restaurants in Besant Nagar. It serves continental, Indian and South Indian food, with continental being its main specialty. Continental food includes Italian, French, English and the Mediterranean cuisine.

Eden is also a reasonably priced restaurant with prices ranging from Rs 250 for a meal for two (lunch). The main purpose behind the creation of the restaurant was to bring pure vegetarian continental food within the reach of the common man. The 100 per cent vegetarian tag the restaurant provides and the rapport the restaurant has with all its customers is what keeps the visitors coming back to Eden. “There is more of personal management than hotel management at Eden,” says Venkatesh the owner. This creates customer loyalty and also helps maintain our revenues, he adds.

This small 48-seater restaurant also takes catering orders for weddings and various other occasions. Advance booking of two weeks in usually needed for taking the orders. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner. Restaurant timings are: 12.30 p.m. to 3.00 p.m. for lunch and 7.00 p.m. to 11.00 p.m. for dinner. The restaurant can be visited at:

E 37- II Avenue, Besant Nagar,

Chennai, 600090

Answer 6

murugan's idli shop, sarvana bhavans, madurai appu, ponnuswamy, miliatary hotels.

otherwise hire a cook if you want homely. find out from your friends, neighbors or family. there male and female cooks available. almost everyone in india has cooks and servants.

check the newspaper for people who make meals at home and deliver to people.

they sell readymade food nowadays in grocery markets.

another option is to learn few simple items to cook by yourself at home. when my friend got sick from outside food a couple of times, she made food for herself. also be careful when you drink water too. boil and then cool the water before you drink it or buy bottle water that agrees with you. also before careful of fresh juices because they either add water or ice. sometimes improperly stored ice cream and milk can make one sick. don't eat food sold on the street because of the flies and the dirt and etc.
