Café Nirvana: More Than a Meal, A Movement
Perched on a stunning ridge just 14 km from Kodai Lake, Café Nirvana overlooks the valleys of Kodaikanal. Here, the air is fresh, the food is grown right where it’s served, and each table tells a story.
This isn’t just a café — it’s a sanctuary of slow food, soil-grown ingredients, and soulful connections.
Guests can:
Dine on fresh, seasonal food made from our farm
Participate in permaculture tours and seed-saving workshops
Interact with the women and students helping shape this model
Whether you’re visiting Kodai or looking for something meaningful — we welcome you to stop by, sip a ginger lemon tea, and experience how farms can flourish with love and support.

Nestled in the lush hills of Pallangi, our organic farm at Kodai Café Nirvana is already brimming with nature’s finest — ripe avocados, sweet oranges, juicy plums, fragrant plantains, mountain-grown coffee, and native cardamom.
Each harvest is nurtured by Amma’s hands and the rhythms of the land she has tended for nearly six decades.
As we grow, we’re expanding the farm to supply the café’s fresh menu — including heirloom tomatoes, basil, spinach, zucchini, mushrooms, rocket, arugula, and other seasonal vegetables and herbs.
Every ingredient tells a story of sustainability, care, and a deep-rooted connection to the earth.
