In detail
Why eating on site matters in Puri
Puri has serious street food and a genuine restaurant culture, and any hotel guide that told you to skip both would be misleading. But there is a practical argument for a hotel that feeds you well, and it is not convenience for its own sake.
The evening problem
After a day at the temple in season, or after swimming and walking back from the far end of the beach, the last thing most people want is to negotiate an auto back into town. The multi-cuisine restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner in the main building, and room service runs 24 hours for anyone who would rather not cross the property at all.
The terrace is the real find
The Sundowner Cafe is on the terrace level and faces the sea. It does snacks, beverages and casual refreshments rather than full service, which makes it the natural place to be as the light goes. On this coast the sun sets over the water, and having somewhere to sit and watch it without arranging anything is most of the value.
What the food is like
The restaurant is multi-cuisine, intended to cover a range of tastes rather than to be a single Odia specialty house. That is a deliberate choice in a town where the local food is excellent: guests who came for Puri's own dishes find them a short ride away, and guests who want the familiar get it here.
Dining reservations. The restaurant takes reservations on +91 76 8109 0103. In season, and around Rath Yatra, a table for dinner is worth booking rather than hoping for.
