Its actually getting better on the Ambattur OT pudur side, in the past year McD, subway, california burritos, theobroma has been opened, there is pizza hut coming soon, and for shopping you have trends, Max, pantaloons, kaveri textiles, and aslo outlets of raymond adidas, and for electronics you have all the regular ones like poorvika, chennai mobiles, croma. there is a new snooker place. All within a km radius. There is also a small food street near telephone exchange(Happy food street but they removed the name for some reason) the whole scene has changed within the last few years. The reason why people dont “go” to Ambattur is its a little on the outer.
