Murugan Idli Shop (MIS) was established with the mission of crafting exquisite, vegetarian South Indian cuisine in 1960’s. Born out of a deep passion for food, MIS has become the exclusive destination for relishing authentic South Indian tiffin delicacies. With a focus on simplicity, tradition, and nutrition, MIS brings the rich culinary heritage of South India to life in every dish. Our offerings delight not only food enthusiasts but anyone seeking wholesome, flavourful meals. By merging tradition and innovation, MIS provides a complete and balanced menu at affordable prices, ensuring a satisfying experience for all.
Mr. S. Manoharan, the visionary leader behind Murugan Idli Shop, brings over 30 years of expertise in restaurant management, business development, and customer relations. A strategic planner and innovator, Mr. Manoharan spearheaded the creation of 20+ thriving restaurants across India and beyond. His journey began with a strong academic foundation in Commerce, Law, and Peace Science, complemented by international exposure in the UK, where he gained insights into modern restaurant practices. His passion for blending traditional South Indian cuisine with contemporary dining experiences has driven MIS to become a trusted name in the culinary world.
Established over six decades ago, Murugan Idli Shop is renowned for its commitment to authentic South Indian vegetarian cuisine. The name itself highlights its specialization in serving soft, mouth-watering idlis, complemented by a wide array of chutneys, podis, and side dishes. MIS offers an extensive menu catering to every meal of the day—Breakfast, Lunch, Evening Snacks, and Dinner. A must-try is our specialty drink, ‘Jigarthanda,’ a refreshing and iconic South Indian beverage. With a growing presence, MIS currently operates 26 restaurants in India, along with one restaurant each in Singapore and the UK. By the end of 2026, we aim to expand to 50 locations, bringing healthy, delicious, and fresh South Indian delicacies to food lovers worldwide.
Sixty-four years ago, the roots of MIS were planted with Murugan Coffee Nilayam in Madurai, India. Founded by Mr. Manoharan’s parents, this humble establishment initially served coffee and snacks. The turning point came when his mother introduced idlis, which became an instant hit. In 1991, Mr. Manoharan took over the business and began expanding the menu with beloved South Indian staples such as sambar, ghee Pongal, Sarkkarai Pongal, vada, and jigarthanda. Responding to customer demand, MIS launched its first Chennai outlet in 2003, which introduced the city to the brand’s signature flavors. Interestingly, the name ‘Murugan Idli Shop’, despite its simplicity, has become synonymous with authentic and high-quality South Indian cuisine.
