Authentic kannadiga cuisine.The estate is very pretty lots of places to see nearby . Super place to stay and enjoy the serene beauty of the malanad region.

I am not sure how many times we have come here. We were here a month ago and things seem to be getting better. The food is awesome as usual. Rachan and Arpita always treat everyone as a special guest. Two new rooms have been added which is well designed and comfortable. May return again after few months!!
