This is said to be the best shop for kotthu-parotta in Anna Nagar.
Grand Fast Food on the 7th Main Road is 30 years old - it was founded in 1985 by Meenatchi Sundaram and now, his son Kannan and his brother take care of the shop. 
This shop has been featured in The Times of India for the best shop for kotthu parotta.
So what's special in the kotthu parotta?  "Those are all secret recipes," says Kannan.
Grand has a menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner but the parottas are the hot sellers.
Pazhani, an autorickshaw driver is a regular at the shop. He says, " I come here for the kotthu- parotta 4 times a week." He has been coming here for the past 20 years.  " It's the best in the world and also the fried rice. There's nothing like good food at the end of the day after a day's hard work," he says.

The parotta-maker Sundaran says he's been working here since Grand's inception. Muthu Arasan is the man in charge of making the kotthu parotta. " have worked here for 5 years and it has given me everything," he says.
