Back in November of 2018, I took an incredible, 3-week trip through seven cities in India. The fifth city I visited was Chennai, which is located in the state of Tamil Nadu. The food in Chennai is so flavorful and spicy, and I wanted to share with you my favorite dishes there. These are the top 10 Indian street foods in Chennai!
1. Beef Liver at Sukkubhai Biryani
I didnāt know you could get beef in India until my friend Deepak took me to this restaurant. I love beef liver, and the one thatās served at Sukkhubai Biryani is outstanding. Itās served in a dark, rich sauce and is rich, flavorful, tender, and perfectly spiced!
2. Beef Brains at at Sukkubhai Biryani
Iām always down to try exotic dishes when I travel, and you canāt get more exotic than the beef brains at Sukkubhai Biryani! Theyāre full of flavor and have an irresistible, gelatinous texture that I couldnāt get enough of!
3. Beef Biryani at Sukkhubai Biryani
Biryani is one of my favorite dishes in India and the beef kind I had in Chennai is one of the best Iāve ever had! The rice was perfectly cooked and full of delicious spices and tender chunks of flavorful beef. I loved it!
4. Filtered Coffee on Marina Beach
The filtered Chennai coffee I had on Marina Beach was a little different from the Karnataka filtered coffee I tried in Bengaluru earlier in my trip. It was super strong and aromatic and reminded me of a Cuban cortadito!
5. Mud Coffee at Mud Koffee
Hands down, the most unique coffee Iāve ever had is the mud coffee at Mud Koffee in Chennai. Itās made using the Turkish brewing technique and traditional filtered coffee. It comes out thick, milky, and frothy, and tastes like hot chocolate!
6. Fried Mutton Brain at Thambi Vilas Restaurant
Like the beef brains earlier, the fried mutton brain at Thambi Vilas Restaurant is gelatin-like, but full of sensational flavors that made my mouth water. Itās covered in a sensational masala and curry leaves and is my favorite food in Chennai!
7. Mutton Intestines at Thambi Vilas Restaurant
In India, they know how to do organ meat right. The mutton intestines at Thambi Vilas Restaurant are a little gelatinous and are bathed in a delicious, spicy masala with curry leaves. The cooks knocked this dish out of the park!
8. Sambar Vada at Eating Circles Restaurant
What do you get when you cross a crispy, fried vada with delicious sambar? You get the Sambar Vada at Eating Circles Restaurant. The vada soaks up the rich, sweet, tomato-based broth and becomes a flavor bomb in your mouth! Itās so tasty and juicy!
9. Neer Dosa at Eating Circles Restaurant
Unlike most other dosas in India, the Neer Dosa at Eating Circles Restaurant is a moist, gooey, gelatinous pancake thatās served with delicious, fresh coconut flakes and mint and tomato chutneys. Itās super gooey and is fantastic with the thick, flavorful coconut flakes. Itās one of my favorite dosas in India!
10. Fried Squid on Marina Beach
Seafood is a huge part of Tamil cuisine and the fried squid I tried on Marina Beach takes the prize for the best seafood in all of Chennai! Itās not rubbery at all and has a nice crunch from the frying process. The delicious curry made this succulent dish even better. Iāve eaten squid in lots of different countries, but this fried squid is my favorite squid dish in the world!
