Annam Iyarkai Unavakam — Restaurant in West Zone

First restaurant visit in coimbatore. The very next day of coming to coimbatore (first time) I visited here. I had no idea of food culture here and good restaurants. Came along with my brother and family. The ambience had some positive vibes which was so calming. We came for dinner and ordered below items:

Tomato onion sevai Ghee roast masala dosa Onion utthapam, Masala dosa without ghee Sandwich Millet kulli paniyaram karam 6 pieces

Nannari juice - so soothing

I was so lost in having taste of every item that I missed to take pictures of each item. Only I can say my first visit in coimbatore restaurant i.e. Annam was so blessed that each dish proved to be benchmark in itself. You can literally feel the difference and quality in taste. Even keeping the rates so nominal each item was made in an organic manner. Even the milk, ghee and other dairy products are from A2 Gir Cow. Organic honey and fruits are also available along with cold pressed oils. Different Organic spices are also available. The purity in taste can definitely makes its presence here. I recommend everyone to try the food over here if you love to explore the South Indian traditional food.

Yet to try their banana leaf meal, and surely will do it soon. 100% recommended even if you don't prefer outside food. Owner is very health conscious so no need to worry. Just come and enjoy the delicacies you like to have. Clean and neat place

Had A Chance TO Enjoy there banana leaf meal. And it super duper tasty, you can ask for any item you want.

The sweetness of payasam and buttermilk will give tremendous satisfaction to your taste buds.

Meal was light and healthy, I guess much healthier than home food.

Complimentary paan was...

I came across this hotel accidentally. The lighting & the green ambience grabbed my attention. Moreover on the reading the board that it's organic & millet based food outlet, i decided to have my dinner though not very hungry. Appam was given with Coconut milk, kadalai curry & Kurma. Appam was light, glossy & slightly crispy because they had added sugar for the glossy effect i guess. I expected it to be spongy / fluffy & sour. Coconut milk would have been much better with little bit of extra Jaggery & Cardamon. Other 2 side dishes were good & enough for 1 Appam. 3 chutneys & sambar were common for every table so each main dish can be enjoyed with multiple side dishes + unlimited. Then i jumped into Multi Millet based (In - house) bread - Veg grilled sandwich. Though the bread size was small, good amount of potato Masala & fresh cucumber + tomato stuffing was made & served with green chutney & in-house tomato sauce. I enjoyed that. Bread was really soft & almost got blended with Masala. Finished my mini dinner with sukku coffee which was mild. Could have been bit flavourful with apt sweetness. Overall i liked the homely + Greenery set up, quick service, organic + millet based food concept & taste. They open only for lunch and dinner. Lots of Veg + millet options to choose. 👌 If we pre order, they will prepare inhouse multi- grain bread for us too. We have to go & pick it up next day. 👍

One request regarding the cleanliness. The seats are metals ones and i could find many particles of eatables in the gaps of the metal seat design. Kindly make sure those get cleaned often. I felt uneasy to sit on such chairs....

In 3 words - ambitious, aspirational and astounding. Detailed review below. In fact one can re- read food quality as Annam quality, Annam variety, Annam price etc…..they have truly set a new benchmark. Here is my not so humble but heartfelt review to give them a shoutout…. Food quality- absolutely lives up to their claims of organic and healthy. Food variety- the south indian thali was better than so many commercially overpriced affairs Food pricing- i was amazed to know it is cheaper than annapoorna for the thali Food service - i believe this is where they score compared to every other organic restaurant. Absolutely alive and active service. They keep serving until one says enough, there is no holding back in terms of quantity which still blows my mind. When they mean unlimited, they mean it and live by it. Atmosphere- they are pioneers in the field but it is commendable that they were able to tweak the atmosphere from fine dine type to frugal yet fulfilling south indian aesthetic.

Overall my belly felt good, heart felt full and mind felt blown…..this is a rarity given the kind of five star overpriced organic restaurants that serve frozen food. Moreover , a big shout out to their impeccable discipline and standardization( not easy to do it for an organic concept). It truly is a gamechanger in terms of the concept of “restaurant” itself. Here is wishing them the best to keep up the same spirit, price and quality! Food is...
