Good lunch spots on the way to Wayanad from Kozhikode?

Me and my friends are on a trip to Kerala. We spent our early morning at Kozhikode Beach and are now heading towards Wayanad.

We’re about to reach Koduvally and looking for a good place to stop for lunch.

Could you guys suggest some good restaurants or local food spots on the way to Wayanad?
We’re open to Kerala-style meals, biryani, or any must-try local food. Looking for something tasty and worth stopping for! 😋

Any recommendations around Koduvally, Thamarassery, or further along the route to Wayanad?

Thanks in advance!
