Coorg (Kodagu) में अभी
सिग्नेचरPandi curry (Coorg pork) with kadambuttu
It is small (about 50 seats), worn-in and can have a 10-15 minute wait at lunch — go before 1pm. Pork and bamboo-shoot dishes are the strengths; finish with the bella coffee. Pocket-friendly portions. Cash and UPI.
सिग्नेचरChicken biryani and Coorg-style meat dishes
It is a licensed bar-restaurant, so a drink with dinner is easy here. They no longer carry full pandi curry — order the pandi ghee roast instead. Ample parking; reasonably priced. Cash, UPI and cards.
सिग्नेचरAppam with stew
Come for the setting as much as the food — the bungalow and grounds are the draw. Appam-and-stew and the payasam are the standouts; the Kodava dishes are a smaller part of the menu. Cash, UPI and cards.
सिग्नेचरAuthentic pandi curry with neer dosa
With only five tables you will likely wait — go early for lunch and accept some items may sell out. Authentic over polished: it is about the food, not the room. Homemade desserts are worth saving room for. Cash and UPI.
