Rangerwood Restaurant

There are a lot of things to be liked about this fine dining spot in Thekkady. Located in the premises of a resort, not only do they serve multi-cuisine fare, they run a separate kitchen for vegetarians and maintain strict hygiene standards for the comfort of guests. They regularly serve white boiled rice with side curries like thoran, kalan, pachadi, olen or avial; and major curries as sambar or moru. A crispy, crunchy paapadam comes with every meal and everything is served on tender green banana leaves. Go for the spice route by ordering pulao, biryani or pilaff with additional curries. The puttu, which is white rice flour dough steamed in a bamboo stalk served with kadala or peas curry is deliciously comforting for breakfast, as are the regular favourites, idli and dosa. They also serve Kerala's much-coveted kappa' (tapioca) with spicy red-chilly fish or mutton curry. Dining area is set up well and the menu is constantly changing and customised as per the needs of the diners. As a bonus, for those who would like to taste varieties of dishes available, buffet options for lunch and dinner are provided.
