When one thinks about Krishna Sweets, ghee-filled rich and pure Mysore Pak’s pop’s up in our mind. Krishna Sweets who tried their maiden venture into starting a restaurant way back in 2004 at Purusawalkam named Rasam have now started it in Mylapore too! Says M.Murali, Managing Director of Krishna Sweets says, “What started as a small shop by my father N.K.Mahadeva Iyer in Coimbatore has now rose to bigger heights. As my father was then into the basic restaurants format only, it was my wish to start Rasam at Purusawalkam. Now we have chosen Mylapore as it’s a centre part and a convenient area for all.”

With specialization into the Kongunadu belt, a lot of research has gone into deciding the menu itself. Chef Jacob and his team have discovered some of the ancient items and some of the rarest cuisines which many of us wouldn’t have even heard have found a place here. Cuisines of Coimbatore, Salem, Erode, Tiruppur, Palani, and Pollachi have all been included. Rasam also has the u

sual Naan types, the dessert types and Jain food sans Onion. They also claim their meals- Special Kongunadu Thali, Regular Thali for lunch and Kongu Kathambam and North Indian Thali for dinner priced at Rs.200 each to be mild and comfortable. “We have used mild masala’s only not to make it too heavy. This is our main attraction.”

So what are the rarest items here at Rasam? Arisi Paruppu Sadham, Ilaneer Halwa, Tulsi Vada, Pallipalayam Biriyani, Vetrillai Poondu Sadham, Paruthipaal Halwa and Karupatti Payasam with Coconut milk are our exclusive ones. Not to forget, their special Mysore Pak is also there!

Rasam can totally accommodate 60-65 people and their timings are Breakfast- 8am to 11am, Lunch- 12pm to 4pm, and Dinner- 7pm to 11pm. Rasam will soon be opened at Anna Nagar too by this month end.
