The everyday dosa-and-filter-coffee stop locals actually eat at, not a tourist version of one.

A multi-cuisine cafe on the estate roads outside town — pizzas and burgers rather than filter coffee.

An old-name coffee works with its own estates behind it — filter coffee done the way the town has always taken it.

Part cafe, part small museum of brewing equipment from one of the town’s oldest coffee traders.

A well-known pure-veg chain outlet, and easily the most reviewed restaurant in town — reliable rather than a hidden gem.

Not the same place as Grand Maharaja on Taluk Office Road — a separate restaurant a few streets over.

The highest-rated restaurant in town on Google, by a real margin — worth the detour if biryani is the point of the trip.
