Nellai Sakthi Parotta Kadai (Kolathur)
- Open
- From about 10am, closing hour disputed
- Where
- Jambulingam Main Road, Avvai Nagar, Kolathur, Chennai 600082
A vegetarian kadai, so it is kothu parotta and salna and nothing with meat in it. Listings quarrel over the closing hour and one still shows it shut, so go early rather than late.

- Open
- About 7am to 6pm, rush from noon
- Where
- 26, Rajiv Gandhi Salai, Ramalinga Nagar, Kottivakkam, Chennai 600041
Chicken kothu parotta, priced low enough that the portion surprises people. It shuts by early evening instead of running late, and from noon you will stand about waiting for a seat.

- Open
- Opens 10am, closing time unreliable
- Where
- Old 43/2, New 52/2, 11th Avenue, Ashok Nagar, Chennai 600083
Chicken kothu parotta, hand shredded, with a slow cooked curry worked through it. Accounts of the closing time contradict each other, so treat this as a morning stop and not a late one.
