We stopped to have lunch at The Bangala never dreaming of the culinary delight that awaited us.
The setting was lovely, the food (Indian only) was utterly delicious and the service was exceptional.
There were rooms attached to the restaurant and we were sorry we didn't have time to stay a few days. Fabulous place. Thoroughly recommended by our whole group.

Dined here with my family on a late afternoon, when rest of restaurants were closed for lunch as it was way past lunch time. The decor was normal but definitely cleaner and hygienic than those restaurants I've visited in the town. They offer vegetarian Thali meals and dishes like fried rice, vegetable briyani, gobi and mushroom manchurian for lunch. I tried their fried rice and it was pleasing. The serving was huge. The gobi manchurian was not bad too but the mushroom masala was a let down. The mushrooms didn't taste fresh and they didn't use button mushrooms. Service was prompt and the food was reasonably priced. Overall, it's a decent vegetarian restaurant that serves non-chettinad cuisine food for a reasonable price.

Average facility..but, location is just great..100' road, ample parking, nearby bus stand (new) and very close by for wedding halls and this hotel also has one..that's about it. OK for overnight stay for wedding attendance..not comfy for tourists to this area. Good hall for functions.

Ads in theatre bring one to this non-veg food place..locational advantage, right behind new bus stand..standard non-veg Food presented better in airconditioned environment. Limited parking. Service is poor as after taking order, many items are reported as already over. Country chicken (believed to be Nattukkozhi) is good. Fruit juices also available for a change in non-veg hotel..

The rooms are clean, but small. The bathroom is also very small and had a strange smell. When we asked about it ,they immediately cleaned it.
But I think the smell was from the thatched roof!
The staff is very small but very good. The food was always excellent and they made whatever we asked for. But we have to give them time to make it at each meal.
We noticed a lot of tourist groups drop in for lunch.
