One of the many pleasures of Coimbatore has to be the food- I have written several blogs raving about South Indian cuisine and I think it's hard to beat the food here. The area surrounding C-tore is very fertile, so I think all of the ingredients (mainly fruits, vegetables, beans and rice) come only a short distance before they make it onto your plate. Most South Indian restaurants are strictly vegetarian, and I thought it would be fun to write a little bit about my for favorite spots to eat here. Anyone passing through town should definitely give one or more a try!
One of the most interesting places to have lunch in Coimbatore is at the mess hall of Shanthi Social Services, a non-profit serving the people of Coimbatore. Shanthi is basically a successful component manufacturer that decided to give back to the city, rich and poor, by offering incredibly cheap, incredibly delicious all-you-can-eat "Meals" for 25 rupees, (about 50 cents). The food is superb and you are guaranteed to leave full and happy, and see a cross section of the city in the process.
Anandhaas is probably my favorite chain of vegetarian restaurants in the city. The meals here are also fantastic, and this chain has probably my favorite masala dosa in all of Tamil Nadu. I've been going here since '09 and I put the blame squarely on Annandhass's shoulders for spoiling me to the point where I cannot find a masala dosa Stateside that compares. Also, the Annandhass by the airport has some of the nicest waiters/servers around- one of my favorite parts of eating here is I get to say to about 20 of the people that work here. The service is great and the people are so sweet!
Finally, Selva Bhavan has been another go-to at lunchtime at work, as it's only a 5 minute walk from the office. Again, great veg food, an awesome staff, and probably some of the best prices I've seen in the city. It's going to be hard to go back to the States, I'm used to paying 40 cents for lunch here! Also, I love how most restaurants in TN call themselves "high class vegetarian"... I've been very scared if you see one that call themselves "decent veg"... I don't want to know that means!
