Serving up American style BBQ, they have a very simple menu with some burgers, brisket and Ribs. The waiter who took my order wasn’t the friendliest and looked least interested in being there. I…

“Tiger Tiger” came highly recommended on @googlemaps as one of the top restaurants in Madikeri serving authentic “Kodava” cuisine. A bit tricky to spot from the main road, we had to wait till 1pm for the opening (Google Maps says 12.30). We were greeted by the friendly host and we chose to sit outdoors to…
