Local Eateries: Royapettah Part 1

I live in an area flooded with road side eateries like fast foods, tiffin centres, mess and biryani places. I have been hogging the foods since i was a kid. I am trying to post some of my favorite places that sell IMO good food. 

Muttai Kothu Parotta
Most of the messes or tiffin centres sell Parottas as a permanent dish in their menu apart from the regulars like Idli, Dosa. Not all of these places make kothu parotta mainly because its time consuming, however there are those eateries that do make these. I have tried Kothu parota in a number of such eateries  and this place dishes out lipsmacking kothu's. Priced at 45 Rs for a plate, it would certainly fill one's appetite. I was salivating  while the master was preparing the kothu. A "Serva" (gravy) is provided for sides and goes well with it.
Its located on Dr.Besant Road opposite to Royal Saloon, coming from Royapettah Hospital, its about 200 meters past the Charminar  biryani stall  on the right side.
Enter these co-ordinates on google map for a rough indicator of the shop 13.053275,80.270439

Chicken Fried Rice and Chilli Beef at Star Fastfoods
Further down the road is a fast food centre dishing out noodles, fried rice. One can custom make the fried rice like extra spicy or less spicy. I have been having there food since 2006 and they do tend to recognise me. Chilli beef is made by frying the beef with corn flour coating and then sauteed with onions, chillies and tomatoes. I prefer the noodles more than rice anytime, however this time i ordered chicken rice mainly because my mom was having it. The portions are quite huge and if you have a good appetite then one can finish  both the rice and beef. Best to share it and not waste it. Chicken rice is priced at 45 Rs and Chilli Beef at Rs 35.
This place is located on Dr.Besant Road about 100-200 meters before the Ice House Police station, from Royapettah  hospital it will be on your right. Enter these co-ordinates on the Google Map 13.05299,80.272544

Food  8/10

Would I Recommend?  Yes. 
Disclaimer: Do not expect the surroundings to be extremely clean, and if your very conscious about hygenic conditions around the shop, best to avoid. One has to understand we are taking about road side eateries and the obvious surroundings that come with it.
