  1. Number 1.Kalathi Rose Milk Shop (Kalathi Newspaper Mart), East Mada Street

    Mylapore Mylapore & Alwarpet

    Open
    Daily, dawn to dusk; cash only
    Where
    No. 27, East Mada Street, Mylapore, Chennai 600004 (south end of the street, near Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan)

    Ask for the chilled rose milk, now poured into plastic bottles rather than glasses. Carry cash, because the shop refuses every payment app, and expect a pavement queue with nowhere at all to sit.

    Mylapore Mylapore & Alwarpet

    The rose milk comes frothed to order, not too sweet, and the samosa is the thing to eat with it. Crowds build hard between four and eight, so time your visit earlier.

  3. Number 3.Village Milk, Grace International Food Court (Ashok Nagar)

    Ashok Nagar Vadapalani & Porur

    Open
    Evenings until late; a night spot, not a day one
    Where
    Grace International Food Court, Unit 9, 15th Avenue, Ashok Nagar, Chennai 600083 (beside Udhayam theatre and Ashok Nagar metro station)

    This counter sits at the far end of the food court, and the rose milk is made with fresh cow milk. It only makes sense after dark, and weekend queues run two dozen deep.

  4. Geetha Cafe, Pondy Bazaar

    T Nagar T Nagar & Nungambakkam

    Open
    About 7am to 9.30pm daily
    Where
    88, Pondy Bazaar, Sir Thyagaraya Road, T. Nagar, Chennai 600017

    A tiffin room rather than a drinks counter, so take the rose milk after a ghee roast or rava idli. Come outside lunch, when regulars crowd in with carriers for take-home meals.

  5. Rani Juice Corner (formerly Rani Cool Bar)

    Mylapore Mylapore & Alwarpet

    Open
    Opens 10am, closing time not confirmed
    Where
    Nattu Subbarayan Street, Mylapore, Chennai 600004

    Rose milk comes as a fruit mix, though the paal sarbath, chilled milk with nannari and sabja, is the drink it is known for. Summer afternoons are crowded, and the closing hour is not posted, so go before dark.
