Taaza Kitchen

3.5
A decent tiffin stop where the soft idly and pulpy grape juice stand out.
20 February 2025
I visited Taaza Kitchen in Madhapur to try some of their popular tiffin items.
The Ghee Podi Masala Dosa turned out to be slightly disappointing. It was over roasted, making it extremely crispy, almost like a papad, and the masala filling had a slightly strange tangy taste that didn’t work well for me.
The Idly was a pleasant surprise. It was super soft and fluffy, and when paired with the blue chutney, it created a unique flavor combination that stood out.
Next, I tried the Ghee Khara Bath, which was rich in ghee and quite enjoyable. The occasional crunch from cashews added a nice texture, making the dish satisfying.
One interesting thing about this place is that they don’t serve peanut chutney or sambar. Instead, they provide a coriander coconut chutney, which has its own distinctive taste. However, during this visit, the chutney flavor felt slightly compromised compared to what I expected.
Another item worth mentioning is the pulpy grape juice, which was very refreshing and definitely a must try if you visit. Just make sure to save some space for it after your meal.
The tea was decent, though it didn’t stand out in any particular way.
One positive aspect of the restaurant is that the kitchen is visible from the dining area, and it appeared clean and hygienic, which is always reassuring.
