"Sifting through Sangam Chettinad’s massive menu of soups, appetizers, and entrees feels like reading a textbook of classic South Indian dishes. If you know what you want, congratulations on being decisive. For everyone else, show up on the weekend and get one of the thali combos that comes with a massive assortment of curries, dhals, yogurts, pickles, and rice. It can feel chaotic on the weekends, with a crowd of people waiting in the entryway for a table and the phone constantly ringing for takeout and delivery orders. Just show up during the week or spend that extra time poring over the long menu." - nicolai mccrary
