Amsavalli is a good place to begin your day if you are looking for a heavy breakfast. Started 75 years ago, the restaurant on East Veli Street has an old-world charm: think marble-topped tables and a hand-painted nameboard. They are best known for their mutton offal dishes such as liver curry, brain fry, and kidney curry, paired with uthappams and parottas. The mutton nenju chops, a semi-dry curry, and the fiery mutton chukka go well with their flaky parottas. Round-off breakfast with a chilled glass of their famous apple milk, that consists of tiny pieces of apple served with thick, sweet milk. Open for breakfast from 9.30am to 11am.
