Really nice place for food in Yercaud. Karthik, 177/2, METTU Street-7 MARIAMMAN Dadagapatti Salem -636006,Tamil Nadu India. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Meal type: Lunch Price per person: ₹400–600
We were a family of five, looking for a place to have some food and this place caught our attention due the good reviews, so decided to give it a go. We walked in and sat at the table. A gentleman approached us and humbly informed us that it was not a walk-in restaurant, one had to prebook a day in advance. He also apologised for not being able to serve food to walk-in customers and encouraged us to stop by that evening to order food for the next day. Anyone in our place would have taken offence and walked away, but we decided to return that evening to book our lunch for the next day - just for three, as parents are pure vegeterian. The gentleman introduced himself as Dr. Vishu and said that he runs the place, serves only non-vegetarian food, does not entertain foreigners and people who drive a merc/bmw/etc. He doesn’t store food in the fridge to just heat and serve, he prefers to buy fresh everyday and serve fresh for his guests. There was a lot of sarcasm in the our conversation, in a way that was funny, and we enjoyed every bit of it. So we returned that evening and placed our order. He shared his visiting card and offered us to contact him in case we needed any help in Yercaud, only this time he was serious and not sarcastic! So, the next day, we turned up at lunch time, as decided, and got seated. There was rush and it seemed like the customers were enjoying their freshly made meals. We had ordered for Pan fried fish, Chicken curry, Jaffna mutton curry, Sri Lankan fried rice, and Parotta. The fish fry was lovely - he said it was salmon or something in local language that sounded like Chonok. I’ve had Chonok multiple times in coastal regions and loved it, and this was no different. The curries were delicious, with the flavours of meat nicely complementing the flavours from the spices. The rice and parotta were also good. All served piping hot, which added to the good experience. After this, we wanted to taste a bit more, so requested him if he could spare a half plate of mutton sukkha, to which he said he could only serve a full plate, not half. Since we were already full, we politely declined to have the a full plate, with some disappointment evident on our faces. He returned after some and said that he couldn’t let us leave without feeding us with the mutton sukkha, so offered a half plate and boy - it was so good, cooked so well that the meat almost fell off of the bone, so delicious and flavourful! Vishu is an absolute gem, a sweet rascal in every right sense, who puts in efforts to offer a truly elevated experience to his guests. Apparently, he also provides accommodation. Now that we know this, we hope to return for the stay + food! Good on you, Vishu, and all the best!

Not up to the mark, taste average, my maid is cooking better than this, no cleanliness, tables are very dirty and stinky smell from kitchen. If you give negative comments, that owner, replied back with worst comments using unprofessionalism, he always prefer his pets comfort than customer.
