कहाँ खाएँ
Sree Annapoorna Sree Gowrishankar
लीजेंडरीRS Puram, Coimbatore · ₹₹सिग्नेचरKeera vadai with piping-hot filter coffee
The keera vadai (spinach vada) and filter coffee combo is the founding dish — order it even if you came for a thali. The RS Puram branch is the original; mornings are best for fresh tiffin. Pure-veg throughout.
Sri Angannan Biriyani Hotel
लीजेंडरीVariety Hall Road, Town Hall, Coimbatore · ₹₹सिग्नेचरKongunadu-style vella (white) biryani
