Had one our sumptuous lunch there at Karavalli. It was always on my to-do list.
Preparation wise, it was okay, I would say.
I had good coastal food elsewhere as well.
Ambience and service gets 5 star - rating.
Karavalli is a high-end restaurant serving cuisine from the West coast of India in a refined setting. Seafood plays a major role in the cooking along the coast, and we tried the Kane Kaidina (whole lady fish) and the Malvani Surmai (seer fish steak), both of which were covered in a red spice paste and shallow-fried. I also got the Mangalorean Fish Curry, which came with sliced white pomfret fish in a spiced coconut curry, which went nicely with the thin neer dosa and fluffy appam we ordered on the side. On the table came more accompaniments including rasam, tomato and coconut chutneys, papad, crunchy rings, and pickle, and everything was presented beautifully and served on a banana leaf. What a delicious seafood meal!
A totally wonderful experience middle of the city. Great outdoor seating and wonderful service.
Seafood is a bit too watered down for more expensive taste buds so do not go looking for a spice kick
