  • 2. I:ba Café

    $$ | Shivala

    At this unexpected oasis away from the chaos of the ghats, you can find good Japanese food and great cold coffee, perfect after a hot walk.

A Japanese and Indian husband-wife team run the operation, serving varied cuisines from around the world.

    $$

    This charming, two-story restaurant just across the road from the Western Temples (there are stunning views from the terrace) serves a mix of Indian and continental fare. It has a distinctly European aesthetic, with an open courtyard, where marble-top tables are shaded by an enormous neem tree and overhanging branches of bougainvillea, and a small indoor section that is air-conditioned (the summer heat can be quite punishing).

    $

  • 11. Haifa

    $$

    Situated at the lobby level of Hotel Haifa, this restaurant's specialty is Middle Eastern food.
