Coorg Cuisine

Located close to the Madikeri Fort, this one is the locals favourite. It is a quite simple restaurant with no fancy interiors. A pure experience of authentic Coorgi food, they have been serving top quality food for years now. Rich, aromatic, spicy, and irresistible would be some of the adjectives people use to describe the curries served here. Their Pandi Curry is legendary and is a must-try here. For the vegetarians, the bamboo shoot curry is a must try. Finish up with their jaggery coffee which tastes equally good. The prices are easy on the pocket and since its always crowded during the peak hours, you might have to wait a while to get a table.
