Punjabi Tadka

Punjabi Tadka

Small family run roadside eatery in Kodaikanal known for authentic Punjabi vegetarian food.

Punjabi Tadka is a tiny, no frills stall near Kodai Lake run by a father and son duo. It serves pure vegetarian North Indian food, with parathas, chole bhature, paneer momos, and lassi drawing the most praise from regulars. The setup is very small with limited seating, so it can feel cramped during peak dinner hours. Staff are known for being warm and hospitable, and the food is freshly prepared rather than mass cooked.
