What should I order at MISTY MOUNTAIN PLANTATION RESORT?

It is especially known for its chicken biriyani, which reviewers describe as flavorful and served in a traditional clay vessel wrapped with banana leaf. The plantation setting, tea trail walks, and jeep safari through the 2000-acre property are also major highlights.

Reviewers repeatedly recommend chicken biriyani, appam with egg roast, and Kerala breakfast items like ghee roast and parotta. The food is described as tasty, authentic, and well prepared, with the biriyani getting extra praise for its presentation.

The vibe is calm, quiet, and scenic, with birdsong, mist, tea plantations, and mountain views shaping the experience. It suits couples, families, and solo travelers who want a peaceful stay with nature walks and outdoor activities rather than a busy city-style restaurant setting.

The listed price is $126, and reviews suggest the experience can feel expensive during peak times like Christmas weekend. Guests still say the stay, breakfast, service, and plantation activities make it worthwhile, though some mention the food is pricey and the restaurant can get crowded.

One common review theme is that the restaurant can be crowded, with at least a 30-minute wait after ordering during busy periods. Visiting outside holiday peaks is likely better if you want a quieter meal and faster service.
