In the heart of a bustling goat market that springs to life only once a week, lies a tiny eatery that’s open exclusively on market days. Places like this are rare finds, and for a true food lover, they're nothing short of gems.
My journey to Kannivadi, near Dharapuram in Tamil Nadu's Tirupur district, began on a Thursday afternoon. The market runs from around 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., though times can shift, so it’s wise to call ahead and confirm the eatery's hours. As I arrived, the marketplace was already brimming with activity—traders and buyers flocking to haggle, goats bleating amid the festive Diwali rush, and eager patrons streaming into this modest eatery.
Amid the hustle, I managed to find a spot. But with dishes flying off the stove, I soon realized I was late to the feast. Most of the offerings were gone; what remained was piping hot rice, rich mutton curry, and a bold combination of mutton head and intestines. The mutton curry alone was worth the trip—a delicious, tender indulgence that tasted like heaven, even if the portion felt small for its 100-rupee price tag. The head-and-intestine mix was an acquired taste; compared to the mutton curry, it was no contest.
Chatting with the owner, who’s been running the place with his family for over 30 years, he shared news of the market’s relocation to a new site nearby, where they’d also be moving. Next time, I’ll arrive earlier to avoid the crowds and savor every dish before it disappears. And if you’re planning a family outing, remember that this place may not be the most family-friendly destination. But if you're up for adventure and rustic flavors, you won't want to miss this hidden gem at the goat market. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
