Hai,
Chennai is teeming with silk saree shops. The main area is T.Nagar.
Shops are Kumaran Silks, Nalli (Panagal Park), Sree Kumaran Stores, Pothys, Chennai Silks, RmKV etc. on the Usman Road. These two roads are just near only. Almost all varieties are available in all these shops. Quality also same. But I prefer Kumaran Silks and Nalli-they are old shops and I believe that there are no upping the p rice and then reducing. Crowd will also be less.
Small jewllery- you can try GRT, same area only. They have many collections. Saravana is also there, but I am not sure about the quality.
Wait a little for inputs from others also.

If you would like some really good sarees ... ( I dont know what price range you would expect) I can ask the man from whom we buy the sarees. He can come and show you the sarees or you could visit him. I will PM you his contact number by tomorrow and you can contact him.

NAC jewellery in Mylapore ( the new silver shop) has absolutely gorgeous silver jewellery

You could try that too for jewellery

Happy shopping

Bhooma

Hi Suvarna,

I think Nalli and Sundari Silks (in T nagar)is good for sarees. I have personally visited sundari silks, it is opposite to Muragan iddily shop. Just have a look , i guess u will like it.

Regards
Sri

Hi Suvarna,
You can go to Loom World in Anna Nagar and also the Co-optex on Egmore , there is a huge complex next door to the showroom, where you can get sarees at discount rate. The Loom world inside that complex has good collection.There are other shops too inside, its a co-op kind of place.
Like all have suggested Pothys' Nalli, Nalli 100 , RMKV are best bets.
Happy shopping!!!
