Our take: Chettinad King, tucked away in the Hougang/Serangoon area, consistently earns high marks for its authentic South Indian fare.
Reviewers frequently highlight the crispy prata, noting its unique and flavourful daal, which one patron described as having a 'hint of spiciness.' The Ghee Thosai is a standout, praised for its crispiness and fragrance, while the idli is generally well-received for its taste, even if its fluffiness can vary.
We note the $5 meal mentioned by one reviewer, which included a vadai and prata, suggesting good value.
While the staff are commended for their politeness and willingness to guide new customers, be aware that the eatery can get crowded, with long queues forming during lunchtime.
We think this spot is a reliable choice for authentic, affordable South Indian food, particularly if you can visit during off-peak hours.

Solid place for South Indian food. Authentic, affordable and yummy. Good service too despite it getting busy at times.👍🏼
Really authentic Indian food, only tried the prata this time around. The prata was crispy, though the curry provided differs from the usual stalls. But nice and flavourful in its own way
I think it is a place to get yummy, authentic, South Indian food. I'm a newbie so the staff are kind to explain to me what is normally available and eaten for breakfast and lunch. Highly recommended…
