Waterfalls
The Bear Shola Waterfalls is a beautiful and photogenic waterfall in Kodaikanal that witnesses heavy visitation from tourists on a daily basis during the rainy season. The waterfall derives its name from the bears that used to come here to drink water, as well as from the lush forest that surrounds it. The surrounding greenery makes this place look even more alluring.
Beautiful water fall, however it's officially closed, with proper locks on main gate. However people go inside at their own risk, since it's closed the path to go inside is covered by bushes, and the paths are not clean and full of mud.

Overall, Bear Shola Falls is a beautiful waterfall that is worth visiting. If you are planning a trip to Kodaikanal, be sure to add Bear Shola Falls to your itinerary. The falls themselves are not very large, but they are very beautiful. The water cascades down a rocky cliff, and the surrounding forest is lush and green. The best time to visit Bear Shola Falls is during the monsoon season, from September to December. However, the falls are also beautiful during the other seasons.

Located at a mere distance of 2 kilometres from the Kodaikanal Lake, the Bear Shola Falls is a popular tourist spot in the region. This cascade is a seasonal attraction which comes to life in its fullest during the monsoons, when the water flows down from the hilltop making its way through the verdant greenery of the region. An interesting legend behind the unique name of this place is that it was a favourite haunt of a bear who used to frequent this water body to drink water, hence imparting it the name Bear Shola Falls. The quiet and peaceful atmosphere of this destination is a true haven for those who want to escape from concrete forest parks. A visit to this area will bring one up close and personal with many common and rare species of animals and plants.

Kodaikanal, a popular tourist spots is one of the best places to spend few relaxed days of your lives. The hill station has varied kinds of options to keep its tourist engaged. One of the best examples of the same is Bear Shola Falls. Located at a distance of 2 km from the Kodaikanal Lake, the falls are 3 kilometers away from the bus-stand. Located in the Reserve forest, Bear Shola Falls is a perfect picnic spot offering a setting to just relax with your loved ones amidst lush greenery. The Bear Shola Falls derived its name from the fact that bears used to come to this fall for drinking water. The best time to visit the falls is during the rainy season when the water level is at its fullest and thus most beautiful. During non-monsoon season, there is not much water in the falls. If interested, one can also go for trekking here. It has a beautiful climbing path which is almost 1 km long inside the forest. Along with Bear Shola Falls, there are many other waterfalls as well in Kodaikanal such as Thalaiyar falls, Pambar Falls which is also called as “Grand cascade” and Silver cascade. Unfortunately this falls is closed for public view now due to some security reasons adopted by forest department.

This waterfall is officially closed by the forest department. The water has also stopped, maybe because the stream has changed its direction. The roads leading to the waterfall have been completely covered by mud, bushes and wild grass and also obstructed by wooden logs. I would recommend not to go as it has lost its beauty.

Located at 2 kilometers from Kodai Lake, the cascading waterfalls of the Bear Shola Falls come alive during the monsoons and act as one of the major attractions in Kodaikanal. This place will take you away from the crowd of the city and allow you to relax amongst the chirping of birds, and some of the rarest of the species of flora and fauna. The forested area just next to the falls also acts as a biodiversity hotspot for the wilderness and is a perfect sighting location for animal lovers. However, you need to beware of the mischievous monkeys and other animals residing there.

Not a very beautiful tourist spot, but OK kind. No water in summer, but flourishes during the rains. No guards found nearby or on the way. Due to this the place has become filthy with food waste, plastic waste and even human waste. No proper parking space. Once you park your car, you have to go reverse for about 200 meters as other cars also will be parked on the same roadside.
Kris Br — Google review
Visiting this place would be really a good experience, walking through nature's beauty and enjoying the birds singings. Water fall is almost 15 min walk away from road, can park your vehicle on the side and walk into. Nice view, good water, walk way can be maintained well. Take care while walk over the rock, might be slipping. Lot of trees, soothing wind, little adventurous. The authorities can pay little more attention to such nice places and attract more tourists to these kind of places.

Kurinji Andavar Temple is devoted to Sri Subramnyam Swami also called as Sri Murugan Swami in Tamil Nadu and Sri Kartikeya in North India. The temple is calm and peaceful. The main deity here is Lord Murugan Swami, along with Murugan Swami it also has a small vigraha of Lord Ganesha and Navagraha. This is an ancient and powerful temple. One should certainly visit this temple. Palani hill view is just behind the temple where you can have a view of Palani hills.

A small but beautiful murugan temple - well maintained, neat and clean.We went early in the morning at opening time and witnessed abhishekam for Murugan possibly by a devotee family. It's a bit far off from the town. It was calm and peaceful at least at that time. There is a path around with a railing like a view point from which you can supposedly see Palani. At that time however we couldn't see it due to fog though it was quite sunny even that early in the morning - in fact blinding if you were facing east. Although we couldn't see Palani hill, the view of the landscape was beautiful.

This temple is very clean and cool. Excellent dharsan of lord Murugaa. This temple connects the backstory of kurinji flower which blossoms 12 years once. We can feel the chillness in this place as it is located over the valley. The rest rooms are not functioning so please plan accordingly. Drinking water installed inside of the premises.

Beautiful temple, Lord Murugun is called as Kurinji Andavar here. less crowded and lot of shops available outside of the temple. This temple is not just any other abode of worship, it has a rich historical past. It was constructed in 1936 by Lady Leelavathi Ramanathan, an Australian who married the Solicitor General of Ceylon called PonnambalamRamanatham. Hindu scriptures inspired her so much that she converted into a Hindu, and after her husband died, she built this temple commemorating his memory.

The star shaped artificial lake created in the 19th century is one of the top tourist attractions of Kodaikanal. It offers a boathouse with rowboats and pedal boats, as well as horses and bicycles for tourists. The environment around the lake is serene and visitors can enjoy a peaceful ride on pedal boats or rowboats while gazing at the surroundings.
Wonderful place for boating, cycling, walking. The main thing here is the climate it's amazing that makes us not to go away from the place. After getting tickets we can go for boating. The place is amazing and we can able to see small ducks in the water and almost each and every corner there will be some eye pleasing view. The lake is bordered by the road and it makes a good view.

Kodaikanal Lake is breathtakingly beautiful, surrounded by lush greenery and hills. Its serene waters reflect the sky and the verdant landscape, creating a picturesque scene that's truly mesmerizing. The misty mornings and tranquil evenings add to its charm, making it a perfect spot for relaxation and contemplation amidst nature's splendor. The lake is a man-made lake of circumference 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) Walk around the lake to experience its beauty. Walk - I would advise you to visit early in the morning for a walk around the lake.

Just splendid. The lake is simply stunning. They have boating facility also. You can also find bicycles to rent to go around the lake. Trust me one of the best thing to do is to rent a bicycle and go around the lake. You will get scenic views of the lake all around. Also you will find beautiful homes around the lake. But beware of the cars and bikes that also use this road. Else you can merrily wander around the lake road. It will span around 2 kms iirc. Allot around 1hour for this. You will also find shacks selling chocolates and sweaters. The chocolates are damn good for the price paid. Few shops also ship the chocolates to your place if you order through phone.

It is a good place to go with friends and family. There is a nice climate and ambiance around the lake. You should prefer morning or late evening to visit kodaikanal Lake and should try to walk around the lake rather than cycling. Because while walking you could talk and enjoy the moments with your loved ones. There are so many activities attached to the lake, like boating and balloon shooting. Moreover you could try various street foods while walking.

The view from every corner is different and mesmerizing. The sunset here is especially mesmerizing, you can enjoy the sunset either sitting on benches near the lake or you can do boating in the lake. Also, there are bicycle rental options available to cycle around the lake and there are fun activities like shooting balloons game, horse riding and a game zone.

The moment I set eyes on its shimmering expanse, I knew it was going to be a highlight of my trip. My adventure began with a gentle paddle boat ride. The water was mirror-smooth, reflecting the cotton candy clouds above. Every stroke was rewarded with breathtaking views of the surrounding hills, painted in shades of emerald and sapphire. As I glided across the lake, the crisp mountain air invigorated my senses. After my aquatic escapade, I explored the lakeside promenade. Lively stalls adorned with colorful trinkets tempted me with locally-made chocolates and handcrafted souvenirs. For some quiet contemplation, I wandered along the walking path that skirts the lake. Towering eucalyptus trees formed a verdant canopy overhead, filtering the sunlight into dappled patterns. This peaceful haven was the perfect place to soak in the serenity of nature. Kodaikanal Lake is the beating heart of this hill town. It's a stage for families picnicking on the grassy banks, couples stealing romantic glances, and photographers capturing the fleeting beauty of the sunset. Whether you're seeking adventure, relaxation, or simply a slice of mountain magic, Kodaikanal Lake delivers.

You have to walk through a market like street to reach the view point. The view point has a deep green valley. The view is mostly not visible in winter time as it is covered with mist and clouds.

This place was previously called as suicide point as it was a place were many people would suicide, now it has been renamed to green valley.

Formerly known as Suicide point, the Green Valley View offers a breathtaking view of the plains, deep valleys and hills. The mesmerizing view of the Vaigai Dam is an unforgettable experience. It used to be known as suicide point because of the dangerous valley which is dense and deep; below the point of more than 5000 feet drop. Located at a distance of 5.5 km from the Kodaikanal Lake, the Green Valley View not just offers a gorgeous view, but is also surrounded by a lot of monkeys. On the way to the point, there are several shops which offer homemade chocolates, ornaments and a wide range of flowers. The best time to visit the Valley View is between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM as the valley gets covered by mist as the day advances making it difficult to have a clear view. One can use the local public transport like autorickshaw, taxi or bus to reach the Green Valley view. It is just 5.5 km from the Kodaikanal bus stand.

Green Valley View Point is an absolute gem of a natural wonder. The moment you arrive, you're greeted by a breathtaking panorama of vibrant greenery. The valley stretches as far as the eye can see, with mist-kissed mountains in the distance. The view is especially mesmerizing during sunrise and sunset, when the sky transforms into a canvas of colors. Green Valley View Point is also a photographer's dream. The play of light and shadow, along with the ever-changing weather, creates a myriad of photographic opportunities. Whether you're an amateur or a professional, you'll leave with stunning shots to cherish. A word of caution, though: the road leading to the viewpoint can be quite narrow and winding, so be prepared for a slightly challenging drive. Additionally, during peak tourist seasons, it can get crowded, so plan your visit accordingly. In conclusion, Green Valley View Point is a slice of paradise for those seeking serenity and natural beauty. It's an ideal destination to unwind, reconnect with nature, and capture unforgettable moments. Don't forget to bring your camera and a sense of wonder when you visit this hidden gem.

However, it can get crowded during peak hours. Unfortunately, weather conditions can impact visibility. We didn't get that stunning view. It might be helpful to check weather forecasts or visit during clearer times for a better chance to enjoy the stunning views.

Green valley view point of Suicide point is a gem. You can see the entire valley from the point. There are lots of monkeys there, so be aware of them. There are various shops of ice creams, chocolates, ornaments, souvenirs, eatables, etc along the way.

Beautiful view point, mesmerising views. Car parking is available right up front, along with the Kodaikanal golf club, and other miscellaneous shops. This place was famous as 'suicide point' but not all the edges have been heavily guarded and secured.

Good to see that suicide point is renamed as green valley view point. Since we arrived at 7:30 pm all the shops were closed. The view point will be awesome if you visit during the day. The slope will be very deep and narrow down but protected with a fence for public safety. Be careful as there will be more monkeys who will be waiting to snatch your food in the hand.

Green valley view also called suicide point in kodai is Surrounded by full of hungry monkeys. There are shops like ice creams, clothes, chocos, ornaments etc which you can find on the way. One of the deep valleys with mesmorizing view of 5000 feet depth. Dont ever take any eatable items if you are going to this place. It will pull you and snatch whatever you show outside. See one of my attached video, it pulled my icecream and started enjoying the taste :-)

The green valley point has its Best serene view. You can view completely only when the sky is clear. You have to park the vehicle at the entrance. Lot of eatery items available outside. Get them and have it outside before you enter as there are lot of mischievous monkeys are there. On the walk pavement, lot of keychain shops, spices and chocolates shops are available.

With an outdoor seating area, the pizzeria is perfect for any occasion - from quick lunch spots to romantic dinner destinations.

This is one of the best pizza places in Kodaikanal. The food was amazing but even better was the service and hospitality. I would highly recommend this place if you’re looking to hangout and relax. The owner was really sweet to us too.

This cafe was strongly recommended and it more than lived up to the expectations. Great food, great ambience. Perfect for an outing with family, or a quiet curl up with your favourite book. Bonus points for view on a market day; the balcony offers a beautiful view of the weekly farmers market abuzz with activity. Definite must visit! Do try their Shakshouka and Mongolian beef

We had our breakfast at cloud Street. They have a pretty big seating area decorated nicely. We ordered a chicken sandwich and scrambled eggs with Bread. The quality of food was great, but only one thing, the portion sizes could have been better. Specially when you consider the price.

This is a cute cafe in kodai! Though the prices are quite high - for the obvious reasons mentioned on the menu, the quality of food can be improved! We had pizza , cold bru mocha and a creamy mushroom soup. Mocha and pizza could have been better - pizza lacked the wow factor and Mocha was a little too watery! We would just go back for the ambience and relax with a hot beverage!

I really liked the atmosphere of the restaurant. The fire place in the corner was nice to sit next to after being out in the chilly November weather. I ordered potato soup, pizza and a brownie. The brownie came out first which I thought was strange since that’s a dessert item and meant to be eaten after the meal but it tasted great! The “potato” soup came out next. The taste was pretty good but it had no potato in it at all. It seemed like just a simple soup made with milk, flour, salt and pepper. Sorry to say the pizza was not good. If I’m in the area again, I wouldn’t mind coming back to just have a coffee and a brownie just so I can enjoy the fireplace again.

Lovely ambiance, food place to sit and work. Food is really worth every bite, bit pricey but when you are in a group don’t feel it. Hot chocolate was disappointing. Rest pie , super thin crust pizza, spinach lasagna everything was delicious.

Nice homely and pet friendly place which you can enjoy with your family. Located on the first floor this nice family owned place is a delightful stopover during your city visit. We ordered a wood fired pizza which was delicious. The coffee was also yummy. As a really nice and sweet gesture, The establishment offered us complimentary fudge brownies which were to die for. Soft, melt in your mouth types, these heavenly goodness were just amazing. A must order item on the menu and a surety for us the next time we visit the city. Highly recommended

It's a nice spot for wood-fired pizza. The apartment is well-kept, and there is a fire pit in the corner, which I assume will be lit during the evening hours. The pizza was delicious, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

Bakery
Ice cream shop
The Daily Bread Pastry Corner is a popular bakery in Kodaikanal that specializes in pastries and cakes. The bakery also serves hot coffee, which makes it a perfect spot to enjoy a cold cold morning or afternoon. The bakery often sells out of its food so be sure to visit during peak hours.
A week after visiting their place even now I crave for their tarts, brownies, dates cake and cream bun. Especially the cinnamon roll god mouth watering! Every item made at their godown are fresh and sold out on the same day. so yeah be there at sharp 10 am to taste these, as nearly by 12pm most of them are sold out. Best part is this place is budget friendly with yummy food 😅
Anu — Google review
I heard a lot about this place regarding their fresh and tasty bakery items. So, I stopped at this place just before leaving Kodaikanal.The time I visited the place, they had just some cakes left. Most of their stuff gets finished pretty soon. I really loved their cakes though as they were quite soft and fluffy. The slice of a cake cost some 20 bucks.

The best fresh cream bun ever tasted. The pastry they made, was so fresh and even the sandwich was awesome 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 For people who are going to visit for the 1st time, please be available at 10 because the shop opens by 10.30 and within 15 to 30 mins, the items get lowered because they make in low quantity which is the secret of the awesome quality. Must try - Fresh Cream bun Coffee Sandwich ( any type )
nithish kumar — Google review
One of the famous bakeries in Kodaikanal. They serve different types of pasteries, cakes, muffins, cookies etc. They are really fresh and delicious. They open at 10:30am in the morning and gets crowded right from that time. They also serve fresh yummy ice cream. It's a must try. Localities suggested us to try cream bun and it was really good.
Manasa M — Google review
The most interesting cafe I've ever been to in my life. In two days I tried everything on their menu. In thr heart of Kodaikanal is this beautiful cafe serving the best coffee you'll have in the city. Their pear cake, the masala croissant and the veg sandwich are a must try. Also you must get there in time as it's always packed and bustling and they run out soon. But it's worth every second of your time and every penny from your pocket.

Wonderful place for quick snacks, the quality is superb. Quick service and good food at reasonable price. Though mostly crowded because of the fast service waiting time is less. Must try the chocolate pastry.

Had coffee here and it was good. They serve only limited quantities in a particular time. I personally feel that this place is simply overrated and people queue up just for a cup of coffee and some bread. Highly crowded during peak hours.

We tried vanilla and chocolate pastries, pizza, and sweet bread. In terms of taste, they were very different, and personally, I liked the vanilla pastries the most, while the others were just good.
A C — Google review
This place provides limited but tastiest baked goodies. It's crowded all the time it's open. The opening time is between 10am to 12pm and again from 4pm to 6pm. Fresh baked cupcake, brownies, sweet bun, pizza , plum cake is must have. I liked their brownies and pizza the most. Cupcakes and brownies will stay fresh for upto 3 days but everything else needs to be eaten on the same day.
Namratha K S Gowda — Google review
The taste is truly incredible and tantalizing. Unfortunately, we couldn't sample many items as we visited one day before Christmas, and most things were sold out. We'll definitely try a variety of items in the future.

I visited this pastry shop last week and I was very impressed by their quality and variety of pastries. They serve fresh items daily, so you can always expect a delicious and satisfying treat. They have different types of pastries, such as croissants, muffins, cakes, pies, and more. They also have some vegan and gluten-free options for those who have dietary restrictions. The pastry shop has certain timings for opening and closing, which are convenient for customers. They open at 10.30 am and close at 1.00 pm and again open at 3.00pm to 5.00pm. I tried all things that was available in the morning shedule.. To be honest someofthem i didnt liked... But cakes was sooper... When i asked local citizens they told like 3.00 is the best time to have thier pastry's The staff are friendly and helpful, and they always greet you with a smile. The prices are reasonable and the portions are generous. The pastry shop is clean and well-maintained, and they follow all the safety protocols. I highly recommend this pastry shop to anyone who loves pastries or wants to try SOMETHING NEW. They have something for everyone, and you will not be disappointed. MAINLY they serve fresh natural ice creams... There wont be anyone who haven't eaten their icecreams in kodaikanal.. They are sooperb... With fresh fruits and all... Really like their ice cream.. Its a must try Budget Friendly.. 🍧

The best bakery ever. The opening time is around 10:30a.m. and it gets crowded the moment the shop is opened. They have different varieties of pastries. The butter bun is a must try!! The taste is just aweeee😍. Other than that, the cakes are good. Pizza was okay. Muffins were good. The price is fair and it is worth the price.

Location : this small pastry shop is in main road just opposite to Bryant park road. Place : I was very much fascinated to go for this pastry shop as this was must in list of must eat in kodaikanal. The shops opens at 10am but services start from 10:30 , but one big problem is you should stand in crowd for 1/2-1hr fighting with all people to get your chance . This was very difficult, disappointing for me as I had to struggle a lot to get my order they can atleast have token or que system else it will be damn difficult. So next is I tried almost all the products of pastry corner like cream buns , pastry cakes , pizza slice , cookies , sadly it’s just hype people created made me eat this else it’s just normal regular backery and I liked cream bun alone rest all where ok ok . The prices were affordable and quantity was good enough as per price. If your in kodaikanal or planning to visit i suggest this place only if you have time you can try once else it’s ok no harm , avoid going week ends because trust me i stood from 9:30am to 10:30am and got my ordering chance somewhere around 11:15am because people just simple barge in and damn difficult to keep shouting to place order. The shop will serve from 10:30am to 1pm and evening 4pm -6pm. You may have trouble with parking as we should park our vehicles in main road and the road is always busy. Overall 3/5 experience and average 100-200 per person is enough.
shyamala sree — Google review
Really good pastry, but Over hyped. Don’t go with too much expectations and be there by 10am or 2.30Pm on weekends. Else you can go half an hour late. Note: The pastry's are high on egg content, atleast on weekends.
SanthoshKumar CR — Google review
While influencers may hype up this place, the reality falls short. The pastry items are mediocre at best, failing to impress with taste or uniqueness. Despite the crowds, the food items don't live up to expectations. The ice cream is overly sweet, lacking natural flavors, the brownies are disappointing, and the mini pizza is average at best. It's an okay spot to try once, but don't expect the hyperbolic praise of social media to translate into a remarkable culinary experience.

North Indian restaurant
Tava Vegetarian Restaurant is a great place to get vegetarian meals in Kodaikanal. From an extensive menu, you can find dishes that cater to the North Indian flavors. There are snacks, quick bites, full portion meals and desserts - so there is something for everyone at Tava Vegetarian Restaurant.
Went to this hotel by seeing Google reviews. Good authentic North Indian style quick eat restaurant. Somewhat cramped seating and no relaxed dine-in offered. The prices they offer and list is humongous considering the quantity they serve. It's just for one time visit preferred.
S K 's — Google review
Best place to have authentic North Indian food in KodaiKanal. They have small shop but it is very neat and clean. It can accommodate 25 to 30 people easily. We went 12 people and each one of us ordered different items. All the items are delicious and finger licking test. I would recommend every nother indian people going to KodaiKanal visit this restaurant and try its food once and decide. Adding few click I captured in restaurant. Sorry for half chapati 😅 food was looking so good that we can't forgot to capture pics and directly started eating it.

During our 3-day Kodaikanal trip, when we were craving some North Indian cuisines, we searched on Google, found out about Tava Veg Restaurant and went there to have our dinner. What We Ordered: Daal Makhni GheeRoti/Ghee Chapati Paneer Masala Veg Fried Rice Staff Behavior: Really good. The uncle, who attended the tables and the chap, who was running the place, were cool and helpful. Everyone was coordinating with each other to serve the customers at their best capacity, which I liked. There was a huge queue there when we arrived, but they made sure we get our table when our turn came, pretty fast. Food, Taste & Pricing: Food was good, freshly made and served hot! Being from Bengal where we have Dhaba food from Sher-e-Punjab, the taste was good. Compared to the quantity, for some items, the prices may seem a bit on the higher side. (But isn't everything pricey at tourist places?) Do I suggest this place? Yes, I do, if you are tired of tasting South Indian dishes and visiting the over-priced cafes there, then Tava Veg Restaurant is where you need to head to! When touring South India, especially a Dosa-Idly-Biriyani-focused tourist place like Kodaikanal, this place can be a real charm to taste some North Indian dishes.

The best restaurant for North Indian food in the whole of Kodaikanal! 😎The food in this humble looking restaurant is so much tastier than what you get in some of the restaurants in Bangalore even! No kidding! 😉 The parathas are in a league of their own, the Pav Bhaji is delicious and the everything else was simply incredible! 😋 10/10! 😎

It's a very small outlet but great place for north indian food. Whatever we tried is really amazing especially the gobi parantha. We tried gobhi parantha, aloo parantha, chocolate milkshake, pav bhaji , mutter paneer . Mutter Paneer was good but ginger was very perdominent but other than that everything was really good. Must try whenever you are in kodaikanal

This restaurant in Kodaikanal offers incredible, freshly made North Indian dishes like Dal Tadka, Paneer Makhani, Tawa Pulav, Gobi Parota, and Phulka. They operate on a first-come, first-served basis due to limited seating. While placing an order might take some time, once ordered, the service is quick and efficient. Despite being a small eatery, the preparation for other orders is impressive. I opted for Pulav and Aaloo Paratha with curd due to a tight bus schedule, but the overall experience was delightful. It is strongly recommended for those craving North Indian cuisine. Make sure to verify the closing time; some arrived after 8:45 pm and missed dinner. Highly recommended.

One of the best vegetarian food place in Kodaikanal that will give you a home-like feeling. The food is extremely tasty and the price is also reasonable.

Visited here almost everyday whilst we stayed in Kodai. Delicious, fresh food and lovely staff. I can't recommend it enough! Been open since 1988 and is run by the same family. Palak paneer and paneer makhani were delicious, as well as aloo paratha. Definitely should stop by when you are in the area!

This is one of the oldest restaurants in Kodaikanal that serves amazing vegetarian food. I've visited this place since I was a child. The good quality and service is just the samem Very friendly staff and service is prompt once you get a table. Their shrikhand is fabulous, boondi raita is yumm and parathas are piping hot and tasty, not on the menu but ask for the aloo paneer paratha, it's sooo good. Pav bhaji is delicious and so light on the stomach. We tried their hot chocolate too and probably one of the best we have had in Kodaikanal. I would definitely recommend this place.

Tasty Food , freshly made and served piping hot in Kodaikanal Weather. As limited seats are available it takes time to place the order but once order is placed service is quick and proper. One best arrangement must be written about the management of this restaurant is that they serve you on first come first basis only. Small eatery but best of North Indian dishes they serve like Dal Tadka , Paneer Makhani, Tawa Pulav, Gobi Parota and Phulka.

I would say, choosing Tava Vegetarian for our Dinner at Kodaikanal was one of the finest decisions that we had made during our Stay at this Hill Top City. The Taste was good, Hospitality and Time management was the best. Daal Tadka & Bhindi Fry, Peas pulao were the highlights of the food we ordered. I would highly recommend visiting this place if you are looking for Vegetarian food in Kodai.

If you're looking for a delicious and authentic Tibetan meal, look no further than The Royal Tibet in Kodaikanal. This small take-away joint is known for its delicious beef dishes, which are especially tender and succulent. They also serve soup and momos, as well as other Chinese-language dishes. If you're looking for a cozy atmosphere with friendly service, then this is the perfect place for you!

Restaurant is good and in nice ambience of Tibet. Rates are costly compared to other restaurants. The dishes are good but not so excellent. We can get better Momos for cheaper rate even in some other restaurants. So definitely this is not the best shop for Momos. Just a decent one to give a try. Service is good. Friendly persons. Varieties are good but costly. Can try once. Soup was really good and Chicken Noodles tastes too good.

Had high hopes for this place after looking at all the reviews, but didn't enjoy the food at all. Ordered Veg Steamed momos, veg noodles and lime juice. 1. There was no salt inside the momos. I didn't like the taste at all. 2. Noodles were okayish. 3. Lime juice was good. There's another Tibetan restaurant just before this, on the ground floor. Seems like a decent place, planning to try that next.

I visited this place during my Kodaikanal Trip and had some fried veg cheese momos. 8 pieces were served on a plate with a couple of chutneys. I loved the momos with traditional momo chutney. There was a considerable amount of cheese inside it and they were made very well. The service was pretty fast and quick. The ambiance is very average though - nothing special about it.
