Every hidden gem in search of local eats closes the booking among the or seven musts when it comes to Talamali in Koraput. Located in the hills of Koraput, Odisha, this cafe is neither just a small place to eat food nor simply another eatery; it celebrates the traditional food of Koraput and its tribal culture. 

The Talamali Cafe presents to you the age-old recipes of the tribes from Koraput. According to the famous food researcher, Dr. Sudarshan Panda, the cafe's kitchen uses ingredients that are organic, local, and indigenous-intermingled with daily life in tribes yet unknown to city folks.

What Is On The Plate?

The menu is quite simple and yet very special. You get to eat:

Dishes from millets (ragi, foxtail millet) - nutrient-dense.

Bamboo shoot curry - a little tangy yet rich in flavor.

Kandul Dal (arhar dal) - slow-cooked with local herbs.

Sana Tarkari (paneer from cow milk) with forest vegetables.

Mandia Peetha - steamed millet cake served with chutney. 

Herbal teas from wild forest leaves.

Each dish represents the dirt and pure lifestyle that is truly sustainable by the tribes of Koraput.
