Everything is cooked on firewood in a traditional way and therefore the food tastes yummy. The fuming sambar and rasam with the touch of coconut oil tadka will just bigger your platters unknowingly. Definitely would not stop for one serve. The couple sees to it that all kind of vegetables are prepared and served to the customers as per the season and availability. Even some of the rare delicacies of South Canara such as patrode, sambrani sambar and others are also served on occasions.

The owner said that they do not compromise on quality and in fact they also eat the same food. Each and every member who cooks keep hygiene in mind and will see to it that the food is offered before God first, for that day’s good serving.
