Kirpal, welcome to chennai, please visit rathna cafe in triplicane & try the sambhar idlies there, the sambhar there is decades old recepie with a story, finish with some lovely hot kaelbi.

[@villuran1977]

There used to be an open air restaurant in Taj Connemara. Rain Tree. I used to take my family very often in the 90s. A lavish spread of vegetarian buffet. Amazing food with about 25+ desserts. Moderately priced at Rs 400 per head.

[@rajarajanjayapaul5505]

Im a Chennaite but never knew Connemera hotel has so much history behind it. Wonderfully shot vlog.. beautifully presented . The hotel looks like an oasis in the middle of a desert !

[@jaytalati]

You're the reason I've fallen in love with South India,and Dravidian Languages Sir! Namaskara🙏

[@satishnithyanandam]

I was born in Chennai but residing in Bangalore. Connemara hotel was actually the residence of the proprietor of Binny mills. It became a hotel later. The name of the road where the hotel now is located is also named after Binny.

One thing that I like the most ... are the conversations on food between u & sree ji.. mam is so graceful & unpretentious.. aap logo ke interactions are so very spontaneous !!

[@vasanthkumarjayaraman6753]

Oh the newly renovated Connemara looks great! Ages since I had their lunch buffet. Thanks for waking me up Kripal & The Boss

I am a big fan of you dear Kripal, made for each other Sree (Boss) & Kripal. Intelligent Kripal knows how to manage the home minister by calling her BOSS. Very good marital Harmony. God bless both of you. Dr Sepuri Krishna Mohan, Endocrinologist, Kurnool, AP

[@pandurangakamath2838]

Chennai is popular for breakfast reminds me of my schooling days you get the best Sambar and chutney and ofcource filter coffee at its best thanks Kripalji for reminding me of my Chennai days as usual excellent presentation

[@sanjaypanicker835]

Try something different, ma'am says,but as you said whether it is ordinary or five star,there's no leaving the murugankai,what makes the stomach and mind happy is always one's comfort food.So I think.Sir,beneath all that exterior elegance I feel you're an elegant simpleton at heart.💖

[@ashishphilip]

Kripal Sir getting chided by madam is similar to me getting scolded by my mom on wanting Dosa everyday for breakfast 😅

[@ssnayar994]

An original Spencer hotel. Old world charm. First went there in the sixties. Probably the only high class hotel in Chennai then. Thanks for bringing nostalgia back.

[@lakv77]

Though not much of fan moments from your breakfast at "The Verandah" except for the liking of Sambar which TN never fails to impress, the property walkthrough Taj Connemara instigates me to visit one of the oasis of my home town Chennai. A vlog well describing the history of colonial influenced hotel not taking away rich interiors with cultural artifacts, wooden carvings from Mahabalipuram acending to the first floor, maze like structure etc. Definitely a must visit in my checklist during one of the upcoming visits.. Thanks for entertaining us from my home town Chennai. Do make a visit to Annalakshmi Restaurant in Spurtank Road and share your reviews!!

[@ganesansukumar9551]

Anna Lakshmi , Pattiveedu are just humbug . They are not the morsels of madras flavour . Just like department stores . No character except show .

[@cvijay88]

You should visit Mylapore when you are in Chennai. Best places to have breakfast are Rayar mess and Karpagambal mess. Also visit Kalathi rose milk shop.

[@ganesansukumar9551]

Please come out of the Rayar mess hangover . Four dishes endless wait 15 covers . Please don’t repeat the same old world charm funda

[@trivikram1988]

Rayar mess sambar is the worst I ever had in my life , but I like their other tiffin items

[@suryaprakasaraobollepalli3936]

Thank you, Mr Kripal, for covering this iconic place in Chennai. Hotel Connemara is a landmark of Chennai and a heritage like site, similar to the Chepauk cricket grounds or the Connemara Library. During our student days (1966-68) we used to appreciate and admire this place mostly from outside and venturing inside only very rarely, mostly soon after getting a money Order from home.

[@binzanecdotes5080]

I like the way Sree mam guides sir to right healthy way ...to certain food , beautifully complimenting each other for the show and of course for each other as well !! Love from Kerala ❤️

[@alijuddy5362]

Pure nostalgia! Spent three wonderful years during the 70's working and getting trained by my uncle who had a travel agency in the hotel. The office was right near the entrance on the left side. We could actually feel the pulse of the hotel. Watching your video I feel the soul of the hotel is gone since the Taj group took over from the Spencer group. It looks more modern, even the older part but thank goodness that we still have this hotel with a pretty long history.

[@abhiseksarkhel5961]

Kripal Amanna sir's choice of food should be praised 🙏

[@vimalaraju5370]

Boss is controling u. Its beautiful to watch." Enough for dosa and vada,"😀😍. Nice Taj. Amazing. We r in Chennai. We see Taj through ur cameras

[@pams578]

Hi Sir you have just awakened my memories of college days when in ethiraj college all we friends would be at Connemara many a times. Thank you for this video

[@vc.navaneethannavaneeth198]

Very nice, not many of us in Madras would have gone inside Connemara to all parts of the hotel.A very nice blog

[@MrSirius420]

Must say in Madam's presence, Kripal sir's expression change but in a very positive sense. God bless

[@veynz1]

Now that you're in Chennai, hope you visit the much-talked-about THAMBI VILAS and let us all know whether it lives up to its reputation. Happy eating and exploring!

Still remember the place where my colleagues had our farewell dinner after 1972 MBBS final exam. It brought back memories.

[@balajichandrasekaran8988]

Always loved your episodes! This was different in the sense that the grandeur of the hotel was unique! Nice to see the Old Connemara hotel and its traditional etiquette! Many people might have told you already ...let me also add to that list, Rayar mess is a must visit in mylapore. please note it in your diary!

[@abilash28]

Hi sir, Your videos all are something different and unique and you also exploring heritage of foods & place. That's only uniqueness for yours. Thankyou

[@worldofcars5975]

Sir you have done a commendable job in this walk through .Its so refreshing to see this beyond the usual food reviews .We have so many of these wonderful places drenched in history and that has been through so much of historical events, but sad that we dont pause to get to know or cherish these treasures. Sir I must say you should not confine yourself to food reviews but also do many more of these.kudos.Chennai is a wonderful cosmopolitan city yet so steeped in its traditions. Hope you explore more of chennai.

Hi Sir, got a chance to stay here for 2 weeks and like you said sambar was excellent. I remember savouring just idli and sambar as daily breakfast ritual 😊

[@Virupaksha1503]

Real words of wisdom sir, we need to understand history to learn lessons from it

[@pugaligeetha498]

There are many places u can explore in Chennai Sir some street foods,kebabs etc.. Stay safe👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@HarshadContractor]

Hello Kripal, I have lived at Taj Connemara and many other such 5 star hotels. Their Idly, vada or any South Indian dishes including at Leela Kempinski Mumba, Taj Man Sing are crappy. In Chennai, you should try Murugan Idly stall or Saravana Bhavan and Ratana Cafe. These are the true Chennai hotels. Normally all such Hotels give free breakfast to Gold members, but I never eat in these hotels whenever I have stayed before the pandemic.

[@nethrasiva7706]

Sir, my sincere request please start English learning class for us. Please sir, I am stunned from your speech, I feel to touch your feet, sir you are my guru.

[@shashidharnaik2080]

One more beautiful shot video . Lovely property . Though the breakfast which Kripal and ma’am was not so great . But you can explore more eateries in Chennai which is different from regular idli and vadai.. thanks for putting all the efforts to make these videos .. kudos

[@ume264]

Enjoyed your vdo sir..you have explored to an extent where we chennaites wouldn’t have otherwise. Good to see a mix of food n culture…keep going sir !!!

[@adikesavanadikesavan9523]

Kripal, Thank God You Haven't Put Out The Prices Of The Items - Ala Carte & Table d'hote ! Your Sensitivity & Sensibility In Such Matters Is Amazing ! It Would Have Then Been Like Holding A Brief For The Gentry, Thereby Clearly Alienating The Hoi Polloi That Forms A Major Chunk Of Your Viewers ! Very Well Done ! God Bless You & Your Family Abundantly ! Stay Like This And Encomiums Will Come Your Way, Always !

[@maanyaart8032]

There is a saying in kannada, sahukarana mane nota chanda, badavana mane oota chanda... It means that the view of a rich man's house is nice and the food of a poor man's house is nice. Kripal comfortably enjoys food in popular hotels with the iconic aah... which was not found here.
