Maiyam Past Food Restaurant Near Auroville — Restaurant in Tamil Nadu

I am definitely...

I got into an accident right outside the restaurant. It was quite bad.

Kiran, the owner, helped both of us. The other person was nursed some by the staff and then left.

After I went to the health center and returned, Kiran helped me with my bike, got me some food, and was incredibly supportive.

Of course, I love the food for how fresh and healthy it is, and so the staff provided me with an evening meal given in a tiffin. I can recover in peace without having to cook tonight.

Really thankful for Kiran, the staff, and the...
