BON APPETIT! Indian, Chinese, Mexican, Continental, Italian..

Foodies in Coimbatore are known to travel long distances, if only to sample the best rasam-rice or biriyani in town. Adding to their sense of adventure is that they don’t have to leave the city to sample the world’s kitchens, be it Mexican, Thai, Chinese, Italian, American or Pan-Asian. But the best food in Kovai is typical south

Indian: idlis, dosas, utthappam, rice, sambar, rasam and yoghurt either served on a sparkling stainless steel plate or a banana leaf. And not to forget, Madras

Filter Coffee. There is a lot more... payasam, kootu, koozh, puttu... go out there and discover. The joy is also in the find!
