We recently ordered the dumporotta for Eid and boy, were we surprised! The flavours were incredible, the meat was so well cooked and the portions are massive! The spice level was just right. Everyone one in my family absolutely loved it and we are looking forward to ordering again ! I would highly recommend this restaurant!

True to its name, this place serves authentic Kerala cuisine food. Located opposite to HSR BDA Layout, the place is easily accessible. Parking maybe a problem though.
We visited on a Sunday noon and ordered the Mini Sadhya. It consisted of boiled rice served with Rasam, Sambhar, Morru Curry along with three other accompaniments, papad, pickle and banana chips served on a banana leaf. Also served was two types of payasam.
The staff are very courteous and friendly. We didn't have to wait long for our food and also saw orders were served relatively quickly for other tables. The prices are worth for the quality and quantity. Definitely a must visit place to try authentic Kerala cuisine.

We didn't know about this place until we visited Chennai earlier this month. We were looking for a cozy place to have lunch and found this restaurant in Chennai. We loved the simple veg thali there. My wife insisted on trying the whole menu here and we decided to try a couple of dishes every Sunday. So it's our first Sunday of the kumarakom Sunday marathon. The food is great. Chairs are comfy. The ambience is wonderful, the air smells of spices and there is a light fragrance of shallow fried fish. The food is presented well, I just hoped for more space on the tablešŸ˜. The payasam made out of jaggery was awesome. I'm going to enjoy December and January šŸ˜

I became a big fan of kerela food after my trip to kerela. All I was tempting for kerela food I got to hear about this place from one of my friend. I thought O should try. So I ordered kerela paratha, curry curry and crab roast. Crab was spicy but it was good. The interior gives you a vibe of kerela homes. Would definitely visit once again. Thanks for the food.

I was feeling very hungry on a Sunday and wanted to have very good meals. Everything I search in zomato would give me a north Indian restaurant. Mannnn...I was feeling what's Bangalore turning into and that's when I came across this restaurant. I have had fish curry meals before so I was having a good feeling abt it and also my fiance told that she had been to this restaurant in chennai and it was great.

So we went in and and the ambience was typical malabar style. Roof painted maroon to give a antique look and soft malayalam music reminds me of my granny! Dish wise, I had to try karimeen pollichatu. It came as a signature dish and with a personal recommendation :P. Also ordered leg soup, fish curry meals. She ordered Kerala parota and chicken curry.

The preparation and presentation of karimeen was superb. Honestly, if u like Kerala cuisine, u will like this. The masala and the fish was delicious. The spices wrapped in the banana leaf and those tender meat was something special. V both had one each and loved it. The boiled rice with fish curry was good. They had provided varieties of curries and I could not hold myself back and had another round :D. Apparently, parota and chicken curry was average. By the time I finished 2 rounds of meals, she was still struggling to finish her quota!

Food 4.5/5
Ambience 4.5/5
Service 4/5

Overall, I liked what I had. Maybe this is my appetite talking. But if u truly like Kerala cuisine, u should definitely try this restaurant.

The Nadan Vibe with the authentic nadan food just hit me like a storm when I visited Kumarakom. I personally am not a fan of veg food but the dishes on the Onam Sadhya called out to me and I canā€™t believe I ate all those vegetables at once. A beautiful place to spend time with family and friends. This restaurant is among my Top 3 Go to places.

Went on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. They have a wide variety of dishes on the menu.. but when asked, only tuna was available for the day apart from prawns.

So we ordered a special veg meals with prawn ularthiyadu, beef fry and beef pepper roast. Everything tasted really good. The beef was a bit hard for me but it was good to have a proper oonu after a long time.

When we think of Kerala sadya, it's Kumarakam restaurant is what comes to our mind, beautiful ambience, good service, reasonable price ( for veg šŸ˜).They have recently started 'Pothichoru'...which is like really popular now, you will have to preorder it, if you want to try it..

This was my first visit to Kumarakom and I am certain by now that it will certainly not be the last.. Was craving for some traditional Kerala meal and luckily found this place..Had ordered a Fish Meal... I must say this was one of the best Kerala meals I had in recent times .. the Sambar was outstanding and had a more than generous quantity of vegetable like Unpeeled Raw Banana, Fat Drumsticks, Gourd and Pumpkin.. just the way I like ... the tuna fish curry was good too.. Overall a place to visit again & again..

Food was fresh, aappam were prepared In open kitchen, mutton ghee roast, Kadla curry were uptothe mark. Kids loved the chicken fry and their veg meals(sides were too good) Kerala paratha with Nandan kozhi curry was awesome. Overall a decent priced authentic restaurant.

Restaurant located near BDA, HSR. It serves Kerala cuisine. Refreshing taste. Serene ambiance. Good service. Went for weekend afternoon lunch, crowd was overwhelming. We ordered veg meal (unlimited). Ingredients and taste had sense of freshness in it. Good visit. Fine dine-in. Pricing is reasonable. Wide menu for both veg and non-veg options.

Wondering why I did not visit this place till now.
Visited on a holiday afternoon with family.
Ambience was amazing with old Malayalam music in the background..loved it ..:-)
We ordered sadya ,netholi fry ,Kerala style pepper chicken and chicken biriyani ..
Loved all of it . Biriyani wasn't the best malabar biriyani we get in Bangalore, but it had the right flavours.
The service was also quick .
Would definitely recommend this place if you love Kerala cuisine.

A great place for kerala food. We had meat roast, chicken roast and kerala parathas.
The food tasted great and we had no complaints.
Reminded us of authentic kerala food.
The only minor complaint was that they messed up the Sulaimani Tea we asked for but that was a minor hitch when you look at the grand scheme of things.
Worth a visit.

A great place to experience authentic Kerala food and vibe while in Bangalore. The place with its low wooden ceilings and Malayalam music in the background offers a great way to soak in the Kerala culture.Ā 

We ordered Karimeen Pollichathu, which is marinated fish wrapped in banana leaves. It was easily one of the best fish dishes I have eaten in my life. The spices used created the perfect taste and I could have easily eaten 2 servings of this dish. For main course we ordered Appam and Chicken Ghee Roast. The masala used in this curry is simply mind-blowing.Ā 

Their buttermilk as a beverage is good too.

Definitely going there for more of their Kerala delicacies.

Nice place to have Authentic Kerala Food in a decorated, luxury style ambience. The restaurantā€™s interiors r designed to resemble that of a naalukett... It is a bit dark, situated in the first floor.
The foodā€™s tasty. Had Porotta, Chicken Varattu arachad and Beef Fry. Chicken Varattu arachad was nice. Beef fry quantity was less while Porotta was fine. But not the best though. Lime soda was a let off as the soda had very lil gas.
The pricing is reasonable, more to the expensive side though.
Service is ok. Neither tooo bad or tooo goood.
Parking is a headache as the main road is a no parking zone.

Good place to go if you're craving a Sadhya. They have this special lunch sadhya on the weekends, which is very tasty.
It's light, easy on the spices and tastes like home-cooked food, sometimes.
I enjoy eating their karimeen and matti, although I've been served weird fish once. Last few times the experience has been good.

Craving for some authentic kerala cuisines? This os one of the easy options available in the locality. Ordered a Fish Moilee with Kerala Parotta. Must say, the dish made my day. Might not be the dish for someone who doesnā€™t like the taste of coconut milk. Ghee Roast Chicken tasted decent. Could have been a little less spicy. Would visit the place again to try the other dishes.

Good authentic Kerala food. Amazing non veg and veg options. Personally recommend their Kerala meals,appams, porottas, and biriyanis. Their sea food is delightfully too. Ambiance is very different, dim lights and calm music. Love going there. The place is clean but the only and main problem I have found going there for the last few years was that their cook seems to change in certain days and so does the taste of the dishes which is sad. And they used to have a policy where they were not open on Sundays which is another bummer glad to see that had changed. But I'll recommend this place for Kerala food any day. Best option in Hsr.

Pretty good Kerala Restaurent.

Must try :
1) Coconut Beef fry. This is generally there as their today special item. This goes very well with Kerala parota or meals.
2) Netholi fry
3) Kerala parota with Chicken roast. Nice combo


Normal veg Meals is good enough and you can order some non veg curry with it.

Non-veg meals is ok.

I have the same rotation of food every time I go here and Iā€™ve loved them every time . The place loses a star because it has a damp smell ( maybe all that wood?) and itā€™s quite dark during the day time.

Must haves:
Kozi Varutharacha with Kerala Parota
Chicken stew with Appam
Chicken lollipop ( a strange choice for a Kerala restaurant but I love it!)

This is the place to be to ensure ur Malayali taste buds have a feast!! The meal is great! The beef roast is my pick on the menu! The service is a tad bit slow..but the food and experience makes up for it!! The ambience is very authentic Kerala! Would be great to see a few chef specials which would be different weekly just to get an extra kick of the spices and delicacies!

Authentic Kerala restaurant. Especially good for Kerala style food including fish and chicken. Their appam and chicken stew or roast is my favorite. Try different varieties of fish like karimeen pollichathu, Ayala fry etc. Lighting can be improved, it's dark inside and it makes it difficult while eating fish. The ambience is good and you feel that you are inside traditional Kerala nalukettu

I found this restaurant on Swiggy and was happy to know that itā€™s authentic Kerala restaurant and I went ahead and ordered Kerala meals and egg curry and parathas! Trust me it was really really good and tasted to perfect on a Monday afternoon! Am sad to see that this restaurant has so much negative reviews! I would surely re order the food from this place again since it is close to my house in HSR and I really loved the food you guys served me though it was a delivery it tasted fresh and good!

On a friday afternoon, our office gang decided to visit this place. To start with, I ordered the conventional cuisine of Kerala 'the appams' and accompanied them with veg stew. Though the place is meant for sea-food, I couldn't take the chance being an eggatarian. I think, those were the best appams I had in a while winning over my last Kochi experience.

The appams were extremely soft & light, provoking to order more. Tried their egg appams too. They turned to be delicious. Then, followed with unlimited veg meal alongside an omelette for munching. I should say 'Yummy' and a happy tummy to start the weekend.

For the said Menu, weekday can be a best visit for better service and to be light on pocket. My experience was pleasant during weekday visits as I was paid enough attention.Otherwise, it gets crowded and offerings do get limited/change during weekend.

My friends tried some sea food delicacies and they enjoyed their meal too.

Only flaw and a turn-off was their air conditioning, not up to the mark. Inspite of informing them, the nature around us that day was no mood to cooperate since the staff could do nothing than accepting that it was not functioning properly!

Ambience - 3/5
