When it comes to food, “word of mouth” has never let me down. Suggested by a dear friend, Hotel Sri Annapoorneshwari in Hariharapura, a vtown near Koppa was our breakfast stop during the Malnad Ride and it turned out to be good one.
Run by Mr. Sudhkar Gowda, Hotel Sri Annapoorneshwari is an extension of Mr. Sudhakar’s house with a mini-shop selling provisions and a home-kitchen, where the food is prepared for the patrons. The porch & garage area of the house is converted into the dining area which overlooks the State Highway (SH 65) connecting Hariharapura and Begar.
