Bluff
A short flight of stone steps take you directly to the little hill in the middle of the city. Very good views from the top. There is a garden on the right side. Very photogenic place.
The only reliable vegetarian outlet in the city. Crowded and noisy but food is clean. Meals are served only for short duration. Fried rice and dosa items are available all the time. Prices are average.
Fine food. Small and silent hall inside. Tea is not served in the restaurant, you have to walk out and go for the open tea stall.
Big rooms with toilet. Old TV with unreliable electric connection.
