Parking: Open parking outside the restaurant. There are parking assitants to help you park properly. Washrooms: Saw a couple of toilets only, not like the big facilities that most big highway eateries have. Cleanliness is ok. Food and service: The restaurant is known for its kerala-style non-vegetarian fare, however, you have vegetarian options also. Service is quite good with very helpful and polite staff. Ambience: The seating is rather open and you can see and hear everyone else in the restaurant. It can get quite noisy during peak hours. Overall: Recommended, especially if you are looking for non-vegetarian food.

The Restairant is located in the Highway which makes it easily accessible. People who are on a long drive can stop here and have some nice time. The ambience is great with greenery outside and aesthetics inside. Everyone gets a watermelon juice as a welcome drink which i felt as a warm welcome. I had Aripathiri and Malabar Chicken curry which was a descent meal. They have other heavy meal options like Pastas, Alfahm, Chattichor etc. In desserts they have caramel, planter pudding and so on. I found the staff behaviour as polite. Overall a good experience.

Quality food with reasonable price. We tried chicken biriyani and fish curry meals, that was good. Service also good.

Tasty food and chill vibes The food was super tasty and served hot. Nice place to grab a bite and relax for a bit. Worth a stop Kunafa and soup are pathetic. Rest was good.

The veg/vegan (default) food options were quite limited, and the ones we tried were just okay — not really up to my expectations. But the service and atmosphere were really good! The staff were super thoughtful — they even offered a wooden crib for my newborn, which was such a nice touch and let us enjoy our dinner in peace. Prices felt reasonable for what we ordered, though a few dishes did seem a bit pricey. Overall, a pleasant experience — great service and vibes, but the food could’ve been better.

We were traveling from Bangalore to Kerala by road and reached Salem around 11:30 AM. Chetan had visited this restaurant earlier and had a great experience, so we decided to dine at the same place. Being the first customers of the day, the meals weren’t ready yet. However, we were informed that the biryani was almost prepared. After a short wait of 10–15 minutes, the biryani was served. Chetan opted for chicken fried rice instead. The food was delicious, the service was exceptionally friendly, and the atmosphere was beautiful—making it a perfect spot for a pit stop. We’ll definitely visit again on our next trip!
