Ebony's Café
എബണീസ് കഫേ
A rooftop café on the second floor of the owner's home, where pancakes and light Indian and Western meals are popular with backpackers.
Located on the road from Kumily to Thekkady, the restaurant occupies the rooftop of the owner's home on the second floor. The relaxed setting makes it a backpacker favorite. The menu mixes Indian and Western light meals. Popular choices include chocolate banana pancakes, mushroom omelette, cheese pancakes, masala vada and white-sauce pasta, and beer is also served. Reviews say the portions are small, service is slow, mosquitoes are a problem in the evening, and parking at the entrance is inconvenient. Good value, and suitable for breakfast or a relaxed afternoon.
