A GASTRONOME’S DELIGHT

Indian, Pan-Asian, Mexican, Continental, Italian, Fusion…

Foodies in Coimbatore are known to travel long distances, if only to sample the best rasamrice or biryani 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 the local finger-licking good South Indian fare: idlis, dosas, utthappam, rice, sambar, rasam and yoghurt either served on a sparkling stainless-steel plate or a banana leaf. And the must-have Madras Filter Coffee which is the best concoction to fill you with vigour and vivre! There is lots more of typical dishes to be savoured... payasam, kootu, koozh, puttu... go on this culinary journey of joy!
