What a find. We were on our way to a town nearby and happened to pass this location. The meals were so so so tasty. Everything from the curries to the pickles were excellent. We ordered some fried tiger prawns along with it which was lip smacking as well. The place screams simplicity and would recommend it to all.

This was one of the worst food experience in my entire lifetime. Believe me I am not exaggerating even a bit. Due to its long ago goodness we had visited this pathetic restaurant and unfortunately ordered a chicken biryani and pothichor. I have attached the photo of biryani which is suspected to be made from very low quality rice and it was over cooked nevertheless looks like a biryani rice nor the normal rice. Along with this was some tasteless chicken curry poured underneath which only had chilli and turmeric. We wouldn’t even serve this grade food to the dogs we raise. It also had a fly in it and flew as I opened it.
Pothichor had no enough curries, but what ever was in it was not even worth a taste. Had to leave the entire food and walk off. The person whom we complained about this said he has no idea about it as he only looks after juices. The fish fry from the glass storage tasted as if it was cooked a week ago. The pullisery with the pothichor ws merely some yellow water. There was nothing i could say is eatable. i wonder how ppl are still walkimg in to this filthy place. Cleanliness is not evwn to be questioned as there is nothing as such there. I pitty the food vloggers who still hype about this dung place. once visited will never go in again.

We got a recommendation for this place, its just by the main highway opposite to lulu mall . They serve a wide variety of sea food and other items but we went there especially for the sea food. The rates are economical and decent. They have a big dining area. The prawn masala and fish fry we got was yummy but nothing extraordinary. Its was full of spices but still not too spicy. We got a chattichoru which comes in an earthen pot consisting of rice, fish, chicken, veg etc but it was tasteless and was a waste of money.

Hi all,
We went there after hearing some good reviews from food bloggers in some online platform, but got immediate regret about it. We went there on 25th February 'Aattukal Pongala' day to eat a good "Sadhya" (meals). The food was good, but the service was very unsatisfactory. There were four of us, and we had to wait for some time to get a seat. When we entered, the staff immediately asked whether we wanted biriyani or sadhya. They mentioned that if we chose biriyani, we had to sit in a different area, and if we preferred sadhya, we could sit elsewhere. It seemed inconvenient for a family that wanted to enjoy different dishes together. The cost of the Sadhya is quite high, with a price of 240 rupees for one sadhya. It doesn't seem to be worth the expense.

Adding to the inconvenience, we were required to pay the bill upfront. Eventually, we were seated at the far end of the hut like structure. It was uncomfortable due to the harsh sunlight and there were no shades, and to make matters worse, despite our requests, the staff did not turn on the fan.

I believe some of the staff here are thinking that we are only here to enjoy the sadhya for free, as their attitude was quite poor. I am not referring to all of them, but there were instances where the service was not up to par.

We experienced delays in receiving all the dishes. Initially, they served half of the side dishes, and then there was a wait for the remaining items. Additionally, there was a person, presumably the owner, wearing three-fourths and a t-shirt who was yelling loudly. His behavior appeared extremely rude, even towards the staff.

My recent visit to this hotel was an absolute disaster. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with an unhygienic atmosphere that left me feeling disgusted and appalled. The lack of cleanliness and overall poor dining experience made this the worst restaurant I have ever been to.

First and foremost, the restaurant’s cleanliness was severely lacking. The floors were dirty and sticky, and the tables were covered in crumbs and stains. It was evident that the staff had not properly cleaned the dining area in quite some time. The unappealing sight immediately set a negative tone for the entire meal.

The food itself was equally disappointing. The menu promised a variety of delectable dishes, but what arrived at our table was far from appetizing. The presentation was sloppy, and the taste was underwhelming. The dishes lacked flavor and were served lukewarm. The fish was not fresh .

This is my second visit to the newly renovated Kerala Hotel, and it did not disappoint! The food remains as delicious as ever, with a great variety of authentic dishes. The service, led by Manojettan and his team, is top-notch. They are always attentive and ensure you have a great dining experience. The combination of amazing food and excellent service makes this place a must-visit. I just love it here!
