I often visit Earl's Secret and have not had a bad meal yet. It is lovely to sit outside in the garden or in the greenhouse area and enjoy the surroundings. The food is reasonable and tasty and it is a peaceful place to relax with a friend. The steak is good and the choice of Indian dishes is excellent.

My wife and I had a fantastic lunch, surrounded by nature's beauty at its best in a setting that was reminiscent of the British Raj, again at its best. This lovely restaurant is located in Kings Cliff Hotel, a beautifully restored old british bungalow with a great view of Ooty Town. The garlic bread was very good and so was... More

It is what the name of the restaurant says, a secret so well hidden within the hills of Ooty that getting there is a mite difficult without a GPS, specially at night. They had a nice fireplace going when we entered along with a 1 piece live band who was playing some nice classics (strictly english thankfully). The meal selection... More

We had chinese soup, french fries with... More

This is the best food in Ooty by far- we have been here a few times. Amazingly extensive menu and always done well. BYO.

King's Cliff is an absolute gem in Ooty! Arguably the best restaurant there! Its set in a lovely area of Ooty,a short drive from the City Center and in a much more quieter area. It is not the highest resort on the hillside(like the name suggests) and in fact the property on the top of the hill is none other... More

Stepping into the Restaurant in the King's Cliff feels like stepping into a old English home. The Restaurant is called 'The Earl's Secret' and has a story about why it is named that. The food is truly delicious, and well worth the wait. When you enter there, you must realize that time stands still! The soups are not great, but... More

This hotel brings all the memories of the yesteryear's. Old traditional wooden floors, with a fire lit in every room. It has a warm welcoming feeling, except when its full and they seat you in the enclosed verandah. The food is excellent, both, the Indian as well as the continental. I had the Dal Makani, which was delicious. The stuffed... More
