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
Food is so great. Mostly of Malabar and Mangalore style.
But when it comes to cost, this restaurant is not for middle class people. The cost is too high. For 2 people it costs around 4k.
Apart from cost, the atmosphere and food is great.
For an authentic seafood experience. Ambience is good as well. The setup and the attention from the waiters is great. Food takes a little while to be served. We went on a work-day night which meant lesser occupied tables which meant better service.
Must try the sea food. Reminded me of good dining experiences in Kerela.
The food at Karavalli has been the most authentic coastal cuisine you can taste in Bengaluru. There is outdoor seating arrangement here. We had tried attirachy ularthi, neychoru, appam and meen pollichathu. All the dishes were really tasty.
You'd be hard pressed to find a better South Indian fine dining experience in India let alone Bangalore. What I enjoyed most about the food at Karavalli is the authenticity. They didn't back away from the spices and the depth of flavour that's required to create this kind of cuisine. We had a variety of dishes and each one of them was wonderful as were all the accompaniments.
Special mention needs to go to the service at Karavalli which is really great. We had Uday as our host and he was extremely knowledgable about the menu and gave great recommendations and was excellent throughout.
Karavalli is a must visit and deserves its legendary status.
I had mixed feeling before going for this place. But I was happy to choose this place for my special occasion dinner. The ambience is good, you have open as well as closed dinning area. I went there on weekday so there was not much rush, but if you are going on weekends then a reservation is a must here.
The servers here will help you with the order and portions. we tried Prawns ghee roast in the starters, which was the show stopper for us. Only thing which worried me was the price for the given portion of prawns. If you dont like/eat prawns, then you can go for Attirachy Ularthu which is a lamb dish. It was cooked very beautifully. The lamb pieces were melting in the mouth.

Karavalli is a culinary gem. The restaurant's authentic coastal Indian cuisine is a delightful journey for the palate. From succulent seafood dishes to aromatic curries, each bite is a celebration of flavors. The ambiance is inviting, reflecting the region's warmth. Attentive service and a diverse menu showcasing traditional recipes make Karavalli a standout dining experience. The attention to detail, including the use of fresh ingredients and spice blends, creates a symphony of tastes that transport you to the southern coast. A true haven for food enthusiasts seeking an unforgettable taste of India's coastal culinary heritage.
Best place to try sea food, although I dint try but they have many options, the quality, quantity and the taste is really good. They have very nice service and the price is budget friendly. Best to visit with family and friends.
Have eaten here few times and it’s consistently delicious 😋 excellent ambiance as it’s hidden away from the hustle bustle of the city. All the items I tried was unbeatable. They have a sampling menu and one can choose to their needs. Indulge yourself 😋
Awesome ambience, excellent service and delicious food. I have been there many times. Their Neer dose, Appam and Vegetable stew is wow! They correctly guide as to how much you have to order for. The stewards are very courteous and professional. This is my 4th visit. Best place to try Tulunadu/Karavalli food.
Delicious Indian seafood restaurant. Service is superb and friendly. Highly recommend. Thanks.
A very cosy place for a lovely evening with your loved ones.
Completely coastal cuisine the have kerala and mangalore style food.
The cost is on the pricy side and everything is above 1000rs. The quantity is also small.
But this place is a go to for a luxurious evening with the right amount of light.
They have an outdoor and indoor seating. So its better to reserve the seat if u want to dine outdoors.
Visited Karavalli housed at the back of Taj Vivanta on Residency rd after a long time.
The ambience is rustic indoors n has a few tables for outdoor seating as well.
All the dishes we ordered including the prawn ghee roast, pomfret fry, Kerala fish curry n appams were amazing. Our highlight was the Dodol with Ice cream to end our meal.

Thoroughly satisfied with this place. Absolutely outstanding. Everything was top-notch. The food, ambience, service, everything was absolutely fantastic.
The place has got an indoor as well as outdoor seating area, we made ourselves comfortable outdoors. the seating is in a garden which has a stream running and has a lot of greenery around. Brilliant setting it is
For food we first ordered a crab Milangu fry, Tiger Prawns roast and coorg chicken fry. All these dishes tasted out of the world and were fantastic. The crab is cooked in a south Indian spicy pepper masala which gives it a scintillating taste. Tiger prawns roast has big pieces of tiger prawns roasted in traditional spices, While coorg chicken fry has chunks of boneless chicken cooked in a spicy masala and tastes incredible.
We further ordered a few more starters like camaro con cilantro, kane bezule and chicken ghee roast.
Camaro con cilantro is basically spicy prawns which tastes scrumptious. Kane bezule is whole lady fish pan cooked in mangalorean spices. tastes delightful. While chicken ghee roast has big chunks of boneless chicken cooked in ghee and spices. You get a strong flavour of ghee and tastes delectable.
For desert we ordered a bebinca and dodol.
Both these dishes were unique and I had them for the first time ever.
Bebinca has a scoop of ice cream served with jaggery based payasam and a goan style pudding. Tastes heavenly.
Dodol also has a scoop of ice cream served with a chocolate and jaggery based rice cake. MOUTHWATERING.
Service also was top-notch and we were taken extremely good care of by a team comprising of Vinoth, Sunder and Kiran. Thanks to these guys for making our evening a memorable one.
Chef Ramachandran + Anthony: Amazing combo for a once on the lifetime experience in culinary journey through the coastal cusine extravaganza. Every dish, and recommandation were spot-on. The taste exquisite. Highly recommended.
