Tried the Friday lunch buffet today. Really fresh and great food spread and live counter serving piping hot aapam & kuzhi paniyaram & idiyappam. Very humble and friendly staff. Definitely recommend Thanjai mess for all food lovers who would like to try South Indian cuisine. Will definitely go back.
