I am from Tamil Nadu..never in my life have i seen anyone eat kothu parotta with parotta!!!!

Definitely 130rs for idly in south india is not cheap. Any Tamilian would agree

My wife’s family is from Tamil Nadu, and we went to India last year. Didn’t get much time in Chennai, only a few hours with cousin. The rest of the state and into Kerala were amazing places to visit. The scenery and food were amazing. Being a white guy in rural southern India I got a lot of stares, points, and even a literal double take from a guy on the back of a motorcycle. The food was amazing. Three to four of us could eat a huge meal at a restaurant for about $6 usd. I can’t wait to go back.

For any foreigners thats watching this video i recommend getting these dishes in a more sit down upscale place. Like others have said outside of the podi idly, the other places are way too unhygenic for non-locals. Chances of getting sick is almost definite, not certain but i wouldnt risk it if youre just visiting. this is coming from a dude in LA thats been going to chennai bi-annualy 1-2 months at a time for 10 years for businesss trips.

Kothu Parotta makes International Debut :) Other shows have had it, but this is the biggest show and world will see my favourite food!

I have to say, the quality of presentation in this channel is improving day by day. Be it the interludes of Sunny reacting to things or eye catching transition graphics, they make it seem that Sonny is actually at the location to review the food items.

I love the people selling food on streets. The owners are not focused on huge profits, they rather want to have a small profit but to help the community. You won’t see that in the most developed countries. Greetings from România!🇷🇴🇪🇺

Welcome to Chennai, anyways there is a huge list on places and foods to try in Chennai. Each area has its unique dishes like, sowcarpet for all you sweets, ritchie street for samosas and all types of parotta at kalpakkam. The list has about 100-150 places to visit and eat the area's specialty. Do search the web for more info.

Now everyone understands why food is not just for survival, but it is for the EMOTION.

feel bad for the Grandma in the beginning...May God find a way for all Tamils to live proper lives!

If you go to North India, you won't find good food that makes you wander to breakfast in the morning, but in Tamil Nadu, you can get good Idly with chutny and good coffee even at 6am in the morning🤷👌

Seeing Sonny actually taste the food and then give a review has always made the show feel real and authentic... This segment makes me feel cheated it feels a bit fake😮😢 Sonny must taste and review not just do voice overs y'all are killing my vibe..love India thou

*TLDR: Why Sonny doesn’t appear in these videos* Quite a few ppl asking this or complaining about him not making an appearance. Have some common sense ppl…. And plz add a sense of decency while you’re at it! *And Think About This* He already travels like 10 months out of the year making content for his other two channels. Then spends the rest of the year putting the videos together with his team. But he has a lot of fans who wanted to see more of India. Remember, we are all able to watch this for free. No subscriptions, no streaming fees, no cable bills…. And there are ppl in this comment section acting so entitled it makes me sick. The poor guy works his ass off to bring us excellent content. He travels more than he gets to rest. He’s ended up with food poisoning more than once, being harassed by the police in Egypt and a lot of other uncomfortable situations. And all for our entertainment. We know he loves his job, but that doesn’t mean he has to work himself to death because you all want him to somehow stay in India full time for these videos all while still traveling everywhere else to make the vids for his other two channels. This is still made by his company, by his team and he still has eaten these foods, but couldn’t share them all at the time. So he does everything else he does for his other channels, except appear in the videos. Allow the man to expand his horizons and try new ventures without pushing your expectations on him. And If you Don’t like this type of video, or don’t want to watch anything that he isn’t actually shown in…then don’t watch this channel. It’s as simple as that. I personally love the fact that on top of everything else he’s doing he still takes the time to come up with this concept so he can make his fans happy & still produce quality content. He even decided to do the voice overs for this channel…. With an already harsh schedule. If you’d watched the very first video on Best Food India you would see that he didn’t do the voice work and ppl were disappointed. So, to make the fans happy he decided to still contribute even more and added voicing these videos to his already hectic schedule. So…. From me to Sonny… thanks for all you do to bring the fans quality content, excellent entertainment, joy in learning about new foods & culture and for working so hard to give us what we want. ✌🏻🥰😊

Awesome! I'm, so jealous. All the food in this episode look amazing. I, wish I had smell- a- vision. My favorite is kothu parotta but I would love to try all. Mmmmmmmmmm! Looks so good. Thank you for sharing. Respect and blesses.

I’m going to have to ask my wife to make the ghee podi idli. She makes Sambar that tastes exactly like when we were in India, and I like idli a lot, more than she does. She prefers dosa, which is also awesome. But I think she will like this idli more than regular.

Why is sonny never in these videos?

Liked this video. Unique dishes shown and it's always a heaven for South Indian food. Nat Geo was indeed correct❤

If u want to taste the authentic South Indian foods, Madurai is one of the places to visit. There you can eat different flavours of foods that are way different to Chennai because in India flavour differs for every 350 to 500 km😅. In my opinion Madurai is food capital of Tamil Nadu❤

In Chennai you get what ever food you want like South Indian, North indian , Asian , Continental❤ Here We Have Lower to Upper High Class Life Style 😊😊

3:24 u missed translation here he also said. "Everyone should get food even beggers should get food thats why we make it cheap. Thats out profit"

Did I seriously just see the editor's slide in a fast and furious nitrous sequence clip when you were talking about steaming the mini pancakes?! LMAO 😂

I guess the team took the single plate everywhere for presentation😂

The fact that we get free videos from SONNY on KZfaq is priceless; keeping the knowledge and entertainment alive. 🙏👍

5:36 That throw was some amazing stuff 😂🔥

I visited Chennai a long time ago. People are nice and well behaved but the only thing i can eat is pongal. Everything's sweet and sour during my stay there. As a northeast girl, my taste bud is different.

Kudos to whoever choose music for you... Lovely as usual 😍❤️

my vote would probably go for the Chicken Roll , it is the simplest dish in the whole lot! the rest is too complex to even recognise

This reminds me Of Uncle Grandpas channel back in the day. (MIX WELL!) I miss him & his channel. I am happy Sonny and the B.E.F crew added this!

Thank you for exploring our dear Chennai ❤

he also giving so much knowledge about food and our country this is really better than 90% food vloggers of India

Sonny, you did my city good. You're awesome bud!

Super video man...u explore Chennai very well...

i liked the first one and the last one... both looked appetizing.

I love the Indian interviews!!! Very enchanting!!!

I'm a permanent resident of Chennai welcome to Chennai it is really wonderful to have you here🙏🙏

The chicken roll isn’t really a Tamil dish The best one out of these is either the atlapam for a breakfast or the keema dosa which is perfect after a late night drinking / clubbing. It’s even better with mutton keema inside

Why are you not showing the taste test Sonny. Love it when you try food and give us your criticism

Sonny, saying Parotta Bread is like saying Chai Tea. Parotta is a type of bread. Chai is a type of tea. For those wondering, I am from Chennai.

Hey bro your video presentation really good 👍 keep it up ❤️

I am from Chennai, and as a local resident, I didn't even know we had 12 million people living in the city.

Obviously some else is shooting these videos and sonny is doing the voice over , regardless i love sonny. Let's just enjoy the challenge and send him and his team lots of love. Man u is the best sonny boy.

I like those raisins with wings that added themselves in that pancake

Atlappam is similar to our food here in the Philippines called bibingka.

0:53 yes its definitely is a pancake 😂😂

You have to visit Dhashamakkan, North chennai which is a food Street exclusively for beef and is more than 70 yeats old

lethil rice idli is the best.. it is so affordable and clean

Everything looks awesome

Hope you cover the chennai classic set dosa and vada curry

Except the podi idly, all the other dishes were prepared in highly unhygienic environment. Risk your health for the saving bucks

Podi idli and sambar idli with gee is my favorite

south india, especially chennai has the best food, the variety is great and the flavours are popping, i am a north indian and i say all we have as streetfood is sloppy garbage

Sonny doesn't even visit these places...He just sends his crew and then they do voice overs...sad😢

Food and Medical facilities are the best in Chennai. Still if you go to other parts of tamilnadu you get even more different tasting food and sometimes at surprising low price. We ate a superb set of hot bajjis with tea for rs 25. ( 30 cents) at a road side stall near dindigal.

It would be gud if u add the locations. Even though i m n mannady chennai, unable to find the bismi hotel that u mentioned

There's a lot more of foods you need to explore at Chennai

Please also visit my state, Raipur Chhattisgarh..in India.... and here favourite dish is angakar roti with spicy chill paste,,

Nice video thanks

Triplicane is full of hidden treasures. And you can the most amazing Kebabs, Briyanis out there

Best Video Clips❤

Thanks for showing about chennai sonny, you should do a video in Tamil Nadu again.

I can see your team did a good research. Love from NZ. I miss my place now and made me hungry 😅 Hope you managed to try all these by yourself!

Chennai is an emotion❤

Ultimate South Indian Parotta and kothu parotta

I am from Kasimedu... Vatlappam is a must try..

❤❤❤🤤🤤🤤my favorite was that dosa

Can u make goghavari food review from South IND pure veg

thanks for visit tamil nadu

Bro you will try elaneer payasam very tasty sweet drink

Do visit kerala too

Awesome 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Awesome 🎉

If you're not in the video Don't be in the thumbnail Sonny. That's called false advertising

Mud pot food gives great taste and healthy mud pot water naturally purified and gives good chillness

I am from Chennai and we have more hygienic places with delicious food

6:07 Wheat dough ❌ Maida dough ✅ 8:40 Black lentils ❌ White lentils ✅

I am from Chennai. What you have seen and experienced is about 0.5% of what Chennai is in terms of food alone!! Welcome!

Idly and dosa are the main breakfast dishes in Tamilnadu 😋

Pls visit Madurai, we've got excellent food as well. I can guarantee that you wont be disappointed!!

that chicken keema looked nice

Try street food for maduri a place in tamil Nadu southern parts of India they are some many varieties one year will not be enafe

Sonny is missing and the video is incomplete without his smile and expression

try beef in Alexander street

Being Indian I don't know whether to laugh or get angry at how he explains each dish. His videos are enjoyable anyways

I stay in next street to the chicken roll outlet ..

which is approx 450 inr ... which is more than enough for full day

You should try these parota and kothu parota food at Madurai local Street food stalls, and the Appam, Idly with botty curry. The taste ull be drowned in it. Its extremely flavour full and it sticks to ur tongue for a long time, tha aroma of the food man how come it be said mouth watering. To taste in Chennai you should have tried some atho, the Burma food one best in chennai

$5 is over Rs.400. In South India, that's more than enough for street food.. It's more than enough anywhere in India for street food..

As person lives in Chennai i agree with you

Please visit Kerala as well

batter literally has flies in it :)

When "White Castle" isn't even an afterthought..

Come to Khurja you can eat all day in this budget and full meals no snacks or so..

welcome to the legendary city of spices. hey i didn't get an update that you were here. im also from chennai. wish i had taken a selfie with you bro.

Finally...south india..😂

how do you taste it without being there

Eat what you want ❤❤❤

Most middle class Indians don't eat from such places. Most Chennai people eat at places like sangeetha, murugan idly, thalapakkati, anjappar etc.. Idk why Americans end up going to the cheapest and dirtiest places & then complain about stomach upsets lol.

Please go to Madurai, Tamil Nadu

Damn !!! Am so Hungry now

You should start another channel for tamil nadu alone
