Nagapattinam (nākappaṭṭinam, previously spelt Nagapatnam or Negapatam) is a town in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu and the administrative headquarters of Nagapattinam District. The town came to prominence during the period of Medieval Cholas (9th–12th century CE) and served as their important port for commerce and east-bound naval expeditions. The Chudamani Vihara in Nagapattinam constructed by the Srivijayan king Sri Mara Vijayattungavarman of the Sailendra dynasty with the help of Rajaraja Chola I was an important Buddhist structure in those times. Nagapattinam was settled by the Portuguese and, later, the Dutch under whom it served as the capital of Dutch Coromandel from 1660 to 1781. In November 1781, the town was conquered by the British East India Company. It served as the capital of Tanjore district from 1799 to 1845 under Madras Presidency of the British. It continued to be a part of Thanjavur district in Independent India. In 1991, it was made the headquarters of the newly created Nagapattinam District. Nagapattinam is administered by a Selection-grade municipality covering an area of 17.92 km (6.92 sq mi) and had a population of 102,905 as of 2011.

One of the best south indian restaurants in Velankanni - value for money. Good food.
Place is mostly crowded with people all the time because of the food they serve. Good is very much delicious, fresh and very much local. One will have to wait to get seat during peak hours.sup Breakfast and lunch time mostly crowded. Quantity of food served is good which the locals like and also plenty of extra toppings one guy well keep on giving till you tell him to stop.

This restraint at busy Bazzar st at Nagai, is famous for veg only resto. This is a small place, with bit decent appeal.Their parottas and special Dosas on evening are their signature items. Their Idly sambar and kotthu parottas with side kuruma and masala milk at night are welcome combo by many in Nagapattinam. We had our dinner there on Dec 11th 2017 and as usual our women folks slurped up parotta combo and Rava dosa with masala milk.
I had idly sambar and special Masala Dosai ( combination of potato,tomato, green peas,etc)-it was bit spicy compared to their regular tastes. Prices are medium range,as always. GST did not affect their prices.
Main problem here, no parking possible, since the bazar road itself is very narrow and almost all shop owners spread their ware , making the road still narrow.

A cozy and family dining restaurant serving Multi cuisine specialized in Kebabs and grills. Specialized in outdoor catering. Situated with a spacious car park facilities. Surrounded with kids play zone and entertainments.
There are two entries for this one restaurant. We three brits looked up TA for a restaurant close to our hotel Nandha. Luckily we changed our minds and went to the unlisted Grand a few doors north. The perils of walking in the street. The next evening we definitely decided to try it. My friend was convinced he had seen the centre just north of the hotel so contradicting the TA map. We asked the security man and he pointed us north! We went, we found the centre and entered. Everything was closed. The security Nan confirmed the restaurant was upstairs but it was closed. I could not understand everything he said. Maybe closed at 6? It was 8pm. Confused we left and went south finding the Hotel Moujahir restaurant Vandana Grand. Good food so far! Using hotel's wifi.

We got food home delivered.This place has a good location and ok ambience. Pizza is very poor taste but tastes more like bun with veggies and meat on top. Unless u think you are eating pizza it doesn't give taste . Excessive cheese. Chicken burger was a real relief it had very good taste but totally let down by a very bad fried rice. People dare to order only in desperate times as he does prompt service by home Delivery . My strong advice eat burger rest avoid.

The hotel is located right on the spot- on the most happening place in Velankanni. Good stay with basic facilities. The basilica is just a stone-throw away. But the problem is the parking. You've to use the church parking which is mostly full in nearby location and during the rush-times it's impractical to move out at your will because you may not be able to get back at all. But if you are a large group and are going with a professional driver in a mini-van kind of vehicle I would recommend you to stay here.
