Welcome to Amirtham

Home-style cooking,
the way it should taste.

Every day our kitchen lays out a full counter of curries — chicken, fish, mutton, dhal and fresh vegetables — alongside red rice, devilled dishes and fried fish. Behind it, the griddle is busy with kottu, and the pans are full of briyani and fried rice cooked to order.

Stop in for breakfast, a working lunch, or a family meal. Eat in our dining hall, or take it with you.
