Family run by a husband and wife team, the restaurant is open for breakfast until dinner. Small tables both inside and in the small garden provide about 20 seats and the decor is full of film prints, old cameras and radios etc, giving it an eclectic vibe. The menu is varied although not huge and chilled beer is also available. Our choices were the Ginger chicken with lemon rice and a spicy curry with rice and naan bread, both of which were superb. The husband does the cooking with his wife serving, and on this occasion also helped by their young daughter. Prices were very reasonable too. Whilst not luxurious, we felt we were getting a genuine family run Indian experience and if we are in Thekkady again we would not hesitate to return.

The roof top sitting area is an itself a scenic beauty which will make you sit for long and sip a delicious MASALA tea one after another. For me the service was pretty good and I just loved the whole internal environment of different lights, hanging pots and the greenery. Visit once at least.
