Rain Tree only if you get over Coorgi food


If your in Coorg and staying in Madekeri or nearby areas of Siddapur, Dubare and not feasting on Coorgi food. Then I pity you if you really find this place and not tasting the awesome food the warrior clan (Kodavas). Be it Chicken, Pork (they can have it in all of their meals), then as an alternative a better one than those available, step into, Rain Tree.
Seriously why would you want to eat at a hotel, when you should be eating at Coffee Estates of Coorgi's in their ceramic plate and bowls, surrounded by coffee plantation sitting in gazebos with kingfisher and mainas picking on the flowers surrounding the plants nearby.
Anyways this is an alternative to those souls, who are missing on a heavenly experience. Rain tree is situated in Madekeri town, near the town hall. The two year old place has a very limited menu it boast of catering to all taste buds. Be it Chinese Indian and Manglorean dishes, both for the vegans and non.
I was recommended to this place by a Kodaval because we were going to be in the town area, away from his hospitality. So we started with a hot and sour soup, as the weather demanded it. Continuous rains, and little bit of foggy made us have a one by two. Then it was time for a veg starter Corn Kebabs, a delicacy i came to like very much.

The main course had to be Manglorean Chicken curry and Kerala Parotha. The hotel which is open for lunch and dinner with no alcohol served is house inside an old bungalow. It has four areas, the porch, two rooms for large groups, one inside and a coffee house. The staff is courteous and welcoming, though they do ask for you to order all at once but don't mind it, go ahead and do it as food is served late.
An overall a good experience but i still pity you to be there and not savoring the Coorgi food.
