Check Out These Cheap And Best Restaurants in Chennai For Delicious Pocket-Friendly Food

on

Whether it’s the beginning of the month or the end of the month, spending money on food is something we all do. It’s just the way we work. We love our food and that means that we’re going to find any way possible to keep eating all the good stuff we can get our hands on.

Right now, with the demonetisation happening and everyone running around like headless chickens, it’s obviously a lot harder to find places that you can eat at for under Rs. 500. With the new notes still taking time to land in our hands, we’re struggling to fill our bellies! So we’ve put together a list of places where you can find really good food for under Rs. 500 so you don’t have to worry about anything, but feeding yourself.
