After a 6.5 hour long journey, my wife and I reached Tamara Kodai in Kodaikanal. As soon as we reached the hotel, we were welcomed with a warm drink made of ginger, jaggery and Indian spices which helped us clear the throat in such cold weather. As we entered our Luxurious Suite at the resort we were so tired that we wanted to crash on the bed but we were starving so we dragged ourselves to the La Providence restaurant where the dinner buffet was served. With the bitter experience from the Ooty hotel still alive in our memory, we kept our expectations low while we entered the restaurant. We were pleasantly welcomed by one of the stewards who directed us towards the live counter. At the live counter we first tried the Pani Puri and we liked it. My wife who hardly ate pani puri in her entire life ate three in a row. At the next counter we were served Appam and coconut milk which we liked. We slowly started to expect more from the buffet. We eagerly started checking the items served in the buffet. To our pleasant surprise there was a wide spread of vegetarian dishes carefully separated from Non-Vegetarian dishes. As vegetarians, this kind of arrangement made us feel comfortable. The good thing of this buffet is it has many options from both North and South Indian cuisines. To our surprise, we found that every dish was placed on induction hobs to make sure that the food was fresh and hot. Every single dish was plated so elegantly that we were hesitant to disturb the plating. Special mention to Chef Selva who cooked Vengaya kara Kuzhambu, a tomato gravy curry with small onions and Karuveppilai thokku, made with Curry leaves and a blend of aromatic spices, were finger licking good. The hotly served Rasam was cooked to perfection and it was soo good that I had it as a soup at the end. Vegetable Handi, Dum Aloo, Mattar Paneer, and Dal Tadka paired with the soft pulkas and rotis were lip smacking. The vegetable biryani cooked by Chef Prem was one of the best Biryanis we ever had. It was bursting with flavours which was unbelievable. All the chefs put more effort in cooking non veg biryanis and a veg biryani is always neglected. This was one of the best veg biryanis that scored an A+. By the time we reached to desserts, the Malai Chamcham was over. Shoutout to Sohail, the steward and chef Pushpendu, who made sure the sweet was cooked for us again and served fresh. And the Malai Chamcham was scrumptious and we indulged it. We also loved all the other succulent desserts that were served in the buffet. By the end of our dinner, both our hearts were filled with joy and we were wondering how can every dish taste so good. So we decided to meet the staff and the chefs and thank them personally. After talking to these people we understood that every single person loves his job, so passionate about what they do. We certainly have to mention the name of the Restaurant Manager, Mr.Dinesh, the person behind this incredible team that defines hospitality. We ce

The amenities, food, services, views, etc, all were inexplicably good. Housekeeping staff was very nice and friendly, especially a guy named MESEMTI, gave us honest and true suggestions about the place. Ambience was cozy and comfy. Resort had many types of different activities and games.
