Soon the main event begins and the arrival of the evening’s first skewer brings as much joy as the birth of a new child. The signature dish is beef sirloin, crisp on the outside, with a rich, chewy center. Most of the meat is at its best when served rare or medium rare, but each skewer can be carved at different points according to how well done the diner prefers their food.

The craggy peaks of the western Ghats, the rolling plains and immaculately laid-out tea plantations are all around. Top Station in fact straddles southeastern Kerala and the neighboring state of Tamil Nadu. The border bisects the village. I never got a chance to find out at which point, though, because as well as being greeted by the views I was met by a horde of local...
