Venkatachalapathy Hotel

Down in Villupuram, you will find Venkatachalapathy Hotel right on the N H Road in Tirunallur. We are located in the Madapattu area, very close to the main bus stand. Being on the national highway means we see a lot of travelers passing through. The dust from the road and the sound of truck horns are just part of the atmosphere here. It is a very practical place. We have rows of tables and benches where people can sit down after a long drive. The heat in Villupuram can be quite something, so we try to keep the place as cool as possible with fans, though it is still warm near the kitchen. We serve people who are getting off the buses or drivers who need a break from the road. Our kitchen starts working very early to make sure food is ready for the early morning travelers. It is a lot of repetitive work, cooking big batches of food and washing up constantly. We don't have a printed menu that changes; it is usually just the same familiar things every day. The staff is mostly local people who know the area well. We don't spend money on fancy lights or decorations because people just want a place to sit and have a meal. It is a busy, noisy, and hot place to work, but it is what we do here in Tirunallur every day of the week.
