Скачать или смотреть Full Day of Eating in Chennai for Just ₹1000!

How much delicious food can you get in Chennai for just ₹1000? I took up the challenge in the home of the Super Kings, and what followed was a day full of iconic eats, unexpected detours, and budget wins (and losses 😅).

Started my day at the legendary Ratna Cafe, where soft idlis met piping hot sambar, a crispy ghee roast stole the show, and filter coffee gave the perfect kick. From there, Chennai’s heat hit me like a truck, so I jumped into a hot-o-rickshaw and escaped to EA Mall—found some chill AC, a fresh and flavourful chicken salad bowl, and even bumped into some college students studying at IVB, a unique one-year undergrad program on entrepreneurship.

In true DCT style, I ended up buying ice cream for them… which totally dented my budget. But worth it for the laughs and those accidental ice cream facials. 😄

Later in the evening, I met an old friend, chilled at Besant Nagar Beach, skipped the corn and shot some balloons instead (negotiated, of course). Between beach chaos and calm waves, I completed 10,000 steps and earned my dinner.
Ended the day with a solid plate of mutton biryani and kalaki at Ponnuswamy, and a surprise pineapple kesari that brought it all together.

Food, fun, friends, and full bellies—all under ₹1000. Chennai, you beauty!
