Lunch at Nalas, Chrompet!

Last week, had a chance to taste the Nala's feast twice as being part of the project lunches.. Though am not a good eater, I just wanted to enjoy the lunch trying out with a different Appam, as Nala's Appa Kadai is famous for those delicious appams... I had ordered for a Butter Panneer Appam and to mild away the heavyiness, a plain naan to myself; the team had ordered for a variety of veg side dishes and the dry items like lady's finger fry and vegetable fries. ( I meant this for the veg people only who are part of the team; the non-veg guys are very choosy about biriyani as they had ordered Egg Biriyani and went for chicken and mutton gravies to go with them.)

Second time, when I went there on friday for another project lunch, I went for Veg Biriyani and the appam with usual veg gravies ordered and shared with the team.

Location:
Nala's Appa Kadai at Chromepet in the groundfloor of Naidu Hall shop, opposite to the Chromepet Railway Station.

Taste:
The B.P.Appam was nice and cooked with grated panner spread over the appam; All the gravies (Gobi Manchurian, Paneer Butter Masala, Uruli (tastes similar to the Vatha Kuzhambu with lots of small onions) and dry items also were nice and without any taste issues. I heard from non-veg friends that they also tasted well.

Speciality:
The Appam podum kitchen stall is visible to the guests,to show the gala of cooks revolving appam kadai's (utensil) with appa mavu. After the lunch, first time, I ordered for Straw berry Milk Shake and the second time, went for Pista Milk Shake with icecream; Both were tasted very nice and delicious.

Negatives:
Inspite of 15 stoves and 3 cooks at appam stall, I got the B.P.Appam after more than once reminder to the server. Second time, the soup was not been served to me but the Veg Biriyani was given before that; hence I had to cancel by Sweet Corn soup.

It appears to me, the people who took orders are less experienced and hence had the delays in serving. The highlight was, they took orders in their palm tops and sent the orders straightaway to the kitchen; May be the delays can be termed as TECHNICAL ERRs :) as we used to tell to our clients.
