My picks - Parotta with Beef Curry, Kerala style Chicken, Malabar Biryani and Payasam.
A quiet outlet, easy to miss now with a cluster of hoardings around it but been here for ages. I love the spread here along with the quiet ambience. I prefer dinner as the crowd is lighter. I always liked this place for the fantastic kerala dishes they serve. The fish and beef are the highlights along with their famous Malabar Parotta. The Naan is another highlight. Food in general is very tasty with affordable pricing. Service in the noon sometimes takes a tad too long but the food more than makes up for it.
A very nice restaurant in the vicinity of dlf it park. Best place to have your lunch.
This place offers 63rs meals. And it's a very good deal considering that it's an ac restaurant and has a good ambience. Both kerala rice and tamilnadu rice are available along with sambar, rasam, mor kulambu, kootu, poriyal, appalam, thuvayal.
The mor kulambu is the best in taste followed by sambar and tasteless rasam.
You can get extra appalam at rs3
Not many people in dlf know about this cheap and tasty meals option. But beware other items are priced little steeply. Eg. One omelette costs 50rs.
Better check the menu before ordering
The place servers some awesome food!! Beef there is one of the best in town!! So tender with great flavour!! I love their parota and prawn fry. Malabar briyani is a must try here. They maintain the old charm look!! However the fragrance inside the restaurant can be improved!!
Thani naadan style food!
Food will be loved by any Kottayam/Alappuzha kaaran/kaari.
They could definitely improve the ambience and maybe make their outlet more noticeable...
This place can easily pull in a lot of foodies!
Food : paratha & beef dishes are too good,for fish lovers try kari meen (Kerala style). Biriyani and fried rises are normal.
Ambiance : fine
Parking is tough

One of the most visited restaurant in Chennai.Always here for kerala food especially MEALS.Best quality for all the dishes included for meals.The main side is Beef Ularthiyathu.It's taste like home made food.Without any thinking you can go for meals here.The price is compared to other hotels nearby is comparatively less
VFM:4/5
Very few kerala restaurants, here in chennai provide real taste of kerala food... kumarakom is one of those. Located just opposite to the DLF IT park,above axis bank, the restaurant provides good ambience,and delicious kerala food menu..
Kumarakom teleport me directly to Kerala, coz these guys are so damn good for their parattas and curries, this is my regular place for a casual dinner when I was working in DLF IT park. This place is special for its Kerala's authenticity.
Food varieties, taste are good with reasonable price..The thing need to improve is interiors made this hotel a valuable restaurant and more the customers will come.
One of the few places which serve authentic Keralian food. I had ordered for a home delivery and the delivery was on time with good packaging.
Masala Fish Fry and Keralian Biryani are a must try !
Kumarakom is on first floor (above Axis bank , a few meters opposite of DLF).
Ambience - Now this place is very dimly lit but very spacious. Lots of tables.
Service - Was good. The place wasnt crowded when we landed.
Food - Ordered for veg meals, egg burji and Gobi 65.
Now the meals is priced at 60 rs which is even cheaper than egg burji at Rs. 65.
Meals had option of kerala rice or normal rice. Dishes included pappadam, chutney, rasam, moru kolambu, sambar, poriyal and one another gravy. It tasted decent nothing extraordinary. Rice qty was also sufficient. No butter milk or curd and you can get curd separately for Rs.45
Egg Burji was too oily. Gobi 65 was good
I ve visited this outlet multiple times. One of my another fav spot. This place is for one, who is carving for kerla cushines. My personal fav is Kerla Mutton Biryani, Kari meen and Beef fry. I ve heard meals is also too good. Price is okay on comparing to its class restaurants. Ambience and service need to improve. Normal biryani was not upto the mark. Taste (3.8/10), Service(2.5/5), Ambience(2.5/5)
Overall (3.5/5)
Kerala cuisine always draws attention.Thiss place is hidden in second floor of a complex.Place is dimly lit with separate lamps hanging above.Its one the very few places where u get to choose between kerala rice and nrmal rice.They serve the best puttu in town.We ordered a kerala thaali meal and puttu and Chicken Gravy.Mocktails are neatly done and service is good.
Been here several times. An authentic Kerala style restaurant. I had meals.(Not Kerala rice). It was really 'Good'. All the items tastes well. Once I had Kerala Traditional dish 'Kola Puttu' with 'Kadala Kari'. And I loved it. Overall i will rate this restaurant as 'Very good'.

We a gang of 31 attacked Kumarakom with the only goal of filling our tummies with good food. Thanks to our colleague who had sponsored for the mass meal.
Blocked several tables and started ordering for the first 15 minutes starting with Hot & Sour Chicken Soup to appetizers made of fish, chicken, mutton, beef, veggies to main dish.
Some guys were little disappointed as there was no tandoori or afghani chicken available for lunch...was surprised as I told them about this visit even before 2 days. Such a careless attitude must be avoided whilst running a restaurant.
Service was toooooo slow...it took more than 2 hours for us to complete the meal after cancelling few items as they take long time.
Here are my feedback on the soup/appetizer/main course that I had tasted.
Hot & Sour Soup - had one by two which was a decent quantity, little spicy.
Karimeen Polichathu - Top-notch starter, bit pricey. A must try dish over here.
Paneer Tikka - Paneer pieces were little hard. Just don't go for it.
Nettili Fish Fry - I am not an ardent fan of nettili fish. Just had a single piece which was crispy as expected.
Kerala Parotha - Soft and large in diameter. Only concern is it was made of maida. Would be nice its a wheat parotha.
Steam Rice - boiled Basmathi rice. rice grains were lengthy.
Kerala Rice - As they took more than 20 mins, we have cancelled it for our table. But other guys in the next table got it.
Ayila Fish Gravy - Bit liquid, but a very good combination with steam rice and fish fry
Prawn Masala - Regular gravy with some pieces of tiny prawns. Quantity was good enough for 3 people to have along with rice or parotta.
Chilli Beef, Beef Fry & Beef Ularthiyadhu - I don't eat beef. But my friends were happy with all 3 varieties.
Chicken Fried Rice - Both the quantity and the taste was nice. Can be easily shared by 2 people.
Ada Pradhaman - It was a delicious payasam made with vellam. All were happy to end their meal with this desert.
Arabian Pulpy Grape Juice - Never expected such a divine grape juice. Tasted little like a vine with lot of grape pulps on it. A Must to have drink over here.
Masala Papad - Bit salty. Otherwise just ok.
Veg Meal - Decent veg meal with kerala rice, sambar, moor kulambu, appalam, veggies,..
Fruit Salad with Strawberry/Vanilla/Butter Scotch Ice cream - Had cut fruits like apple, pine apple, white & black grapes, pomegranate with a single scoop of ice cream. No complaints on this.
Overall bill was 19,885 Rs. But we negotiated to have 2000rs discount.
If you go as 2 or 4, its fine to have food within an hour. But when you go in a larger group make sure some one goes early and order the items as they take 20-30 mins for several dishes. If not, just go to places like Sea Shell or Zaitoon for a better & faster service.
Kumarakom - one of the authentic kerala cuisines in chennai. I visit here with my friends, mostly for dinners.
Must try - karimeen, egg appam and beef fry
Good one to try if you want to have some change in food taste. A different kind of biriyani where it doesn't even tastes like a usual biriyani but somehow you will like the taste of it. Its Kerala rice prepared dishes. Can give it a try once.

Kerala cuisine always intrigue us specially because of their fish preparations. They make awesome fish starters.
This place is no diff, nice fish varieties and above all very reasonable and budgeted kerala meals.
This place being very close to the DLF IT park, lot of people come here for eating meals.
Nice place for tasting authentic kerala food...
Stayed in Chennai for two nights this week. Had a busy, fun time all on my own. Went to Kumarakom looking for a meal that would be fairly light, vegetarian, and affordable. Got all three. Service was perfect. And I wasn't expecting this; as when I arrived in to the Restaurant it was so quiet,
I wasn't even sure if it was open. I am from New York, and therefore hard to please. I grew up in the Restaurant biz myself so I can be a triple threat as a customer. I can wholeheartedly recommend this spot. I even went back on my second night, as the food and service were that good. And again, the price was right!
The staff was excellent, the food was great and the location was nice.
I went during February and during the week which was probably a slow time and was seated without any wait. I recommend this restaurant to travelers. The menu has a wide variety of choices of different cuisines, especially Kerala (naadan). All are reasonably priced which is always a pleasure for who want to have a good dining experience.
What sets the Kumarakom apart from most other restaurants is that they offer a number of dishes that you don't often see on the menu. They do a lot of naadan dishes, so plenty to choose from . The service was excellent. The food was good quality and very tasty. My only minor gripe would be that my gobi 65 was a little oily for my liking, but the meal was very enjoyable nonetheless. Recommended.
If you like Kerala food, this restaurant is for you, we visited this restaurant in January 2016 - 4 adults on a trip to Chennai, we were very happy with the service and the food, one of the best Kerala restaurants we visited and we have been to lots, you wont be disappointed, we will return.
Nice work.You people really deserve a great appreciation.
We had a meal in this restaurant last year and so we were looking forward to returning for a second try. We had an kappa biriyani and it was very enjoyable. I like spicy food and they did not disappoint me. Although it was quiet when we arrived a few more people arrived and the restaurant then felt warmer. We will be back
We've been in the Kumarakom for dinner and I could honesty say that that dinner was absolutely amazing. The portions were big and looked very creative. Staff is friendly, service is fast. We left full and happy.
The only thing I would advice to the management is to check plates the food is served in. It's not very enjoyable to get a plate with fingerprints and water stains on it.
From the moment we entered until the moment we left, the service was outstanding. Great professional and warm welcome upon arrival, the table service continued in the same manner, everything smooth, well explained and very attentive. We went for the seven course food, no single dish disappointed - quality and taste were always excellent. refreshments are also to be recommended, same for the desserts you can order at the end of the meal.
In a recent visit to Chennai, my friends and I went out to this restaurant on the recommendation of a friend who is a chef in Bangalore. It was honestly, probably one of the best meals I have ever had. My friends had the schewan chicken noodles which fell off the bone. I never eat noodles and I tried theirs, it was absolutely delicious. I had the prawns fry which was to die for. I didn't think it could get any better, then dessert, wow! Wrap this all up with the most charming staff, made for a memorable evening for three boys from Mangalore. If you are visiting Chennai, don't miss it.
Another superb meal at Kumarakom! Food cooked to perfection, extensive menu list, and attentive service, all combine to make a perfect evening. Each dish was innovative with farm fresh ingredients. The payasam was possibly the best end to a meal I have ever experienced. The atmosphere of the restaurant provides a wonderful backdrop -- an understated elegance throughout the rooms. Booking is essential and plan well in advance to dine in this special place. Chennai is a fabulous destination in so many ways and Kumarakom may just top the list!
My fiance and I just got engaged some hours before, and I had booked a dinner here. Note: they book 2-3 months in advance. We were treated very well. Waitstaff was the most knowledgeable, friendly, and charming that I ever had. They made an announcement about our engagement and we didn't even ask! All 4 courses were awesome - all-together it is a good portion size.
Excellent - one of my top 5 restaurants in the world (at the time of this review)
A party of six on a Saturday night . Good welcome, shown straight to table. Excellent food, very well presented. Choose from menu list, the waiter was most helpful and provided good background information and advice. Service was highly efficient,not intrusive and most friendly. A very good night.
I was there along with my brother.We had Malai chicken tikka, tandoori chicken, beef masala and payasam as dessert. My brother loves to eat good food and he mostly restaurants unsatisfied. But to my surprise, the portions were large enough and he was full. The payasam was too good. I think I should have visited this place long before.
Overall you get 5 courses of food for 1000 INR which is magnificent by any capital cities standard.
Our only gripe would be the slightly large portion sizes ,the chicken roast in particular was a wonderful example of the season cooked to perfection but you feel guilty not being able to finish it all.
The staff are wonderful,knowledgeable and the ambiance is great even on a cold December night.
Overall exceptional........
Nice place. Broad tables and dim light. Quite a relaxing ambience after looking constantly at the computer screens during office hours. Three of us (one vegetarian friend) went there for lunch. The friends took veg meals (one with plain rice and the other with Kerala rice) and I had two Kerala parathas. We also ordered Paneer Tikka Masala which had less quantity of paneer and large diced cubes of capsicum and tomato. Didn't like it that much. Amongst the two non - vegetarians, we shared one fried Aila fish and one Karimeen Pollichattu. Both were really nice.
The overall bill came to 680/- which I feel was good.

This place is the cheap and best when it comes to Kerala food,eventhough the place looks too old. I was alone at home and suddenly had cravings for Kerala food ,so went to Kumarakom. This place serves the best beef gravies. The beef is just tender and fresh. I ordered Pal Appam ,Puttu ,Parota and Beef Varatharachu Curry. The Appam was bit small but it's was sweet and tasty,the Puttu was hot and soft,they have the best parota's. The parota's are soft , crispy and flakey ,to say it's just perfect. The gravy was very good . The food here reminds of the food I had in Kerala. Do try their Beef Ularthiyathu and Malabar Chicken Curry.
Ambience 2.5/5, Food 4.5/5, Quantity 4/5.
I read reviews and took a walk from the hotel where I lived in Bangalore for breakfast and it was really nice. Food is good and the decor is really classy. The food was freshly made. Staff were not very interactive at all which was a pity.
But the place is recommendable to some friends.
The is a gem of a restaurant with the ethos of serving interesting local food in a intimate setting. There are a large choices of starter, mains and dessert. This place dont make you feel disappointed, as the food is delicious and very attractively presented. We were pleasantly full after the smaller selection. The tables are not packed in and there is a spacious yet intimate feel with nearly all tables .Highly recommended for a fine dining experience.
I had visited this restaurant last month. It was really busy. But I was not at all disappointed as one of the staff arranged a table for us. We were a group of four. The menu was surprising with a great variety of dishes at affordable price. The dishes came without much delay. They presented well. The food was really a treat.
The service was also excellent.Highly recommend this place.
We had been one of the regulars to this restaurant. The menu is wonderful. The dishes are also wonderful with beautifully presented.
The mutton roast and prawns fry are my favorite and for my sister it is the butter chicken. The staff are very friendly and professional. They offer us a good quality of service. I recommend this to everyone in search of a good restaurant.
Back yesterday, 20th May '16 with friends. We all had beautiful lunch and 'Wow' have the owners taken note of my previous comments.
They now give generous portion sizes of their wonderful selection of dishes & desserts. The butter chicken is delicious to say. My friends were really impressed with the food and warm friendly atmosphere. All of the staff are really helpful and friendly.
This is a business that has someone obviously reading customer reviews and reporting back to management, it's a great indication of a really well run business. Because they took on board the negative comments and made the changes which consequently improves customer satisfaction.
And that's what makes the difference "Customer satisfaction". Keep up the great work......!
Thank you for never ceasing to surprise me. This is a regular spot for me to take time out in, let it be with family, friends or my work mates. Thank you for your efforts in making my every visit special, you always go the extra mile.
The food is so good. And also the variety of dishes also makes it a great spot for people who love to have great dining experience. Highly recommend this place.
On our recent trip we were once again greeted and seated by the fantastic staff who are very friendly and helpful. I chose the fish cutlet which was cooked perfectly! After we had a fantastic sulaimani tea and also tried the chicken spring roll which is also so so good.
I will be going back for more again soon.
You need not worry that the food is overlooked. It's not. We went for a dragon chicken and mutton korma with passion fruit juice. I loved everything. There was slight food envy when I realized I should have ordered the kadai chicken, but once I stuck my fork into the dragon chicken, I knew I was in for a treat. It might have been the best dragon chicken I've ever had.
We didn't have lunch but I can safely say, the lunch food going to other tables looked incredible and next time I visit, I'll make sure I'm hungry enough for lunch.
Great place to meet friends. really nice atmosphere. the food was excellent and plentiful. look no further!
I love going here for lunch. I've had the chicken tikka more times than any other dish on the menu as I absolutely love it. I've always come in with my sister or mother or both and they've always been very happy with whatever dish they ordered. The service is very good also.
Nothing can be more attractive than a Malabar dish when you are super hungry. They indeed have the balance in ingredients to put off hunger.
Grabbed a takeaway from this restaurant. The food preparation time was around 20mins, which is reasonable.
Ordered meals, Kerala paratha and kadala curry. The Lunch meals had kerala matta rice with sambar, rasam, mor kozhambu, poriyal and avial. Except for the sambar, everything tasted good. The Kerala parotta should be eaten with the delicious kadala curry poured on top.
Total bill came around 280Rs + taxes which was economical. But the person taking orders had difficulty in understanding the order.
We arrived a little late to spend the time we could of here. It was fun. Staff were friendly, karimeen pollichathu was delicious. It is their special dish also. They have a nice ambiance and we can enjoy the food there.
I liked the wash hand basin in the loo. Even the seemingly out of the way situation was fun to get to.
I can honestly say that my search for the perfect restaurant has ended just a stone's throw from where I live. Many restaurants have strived unsuccessfully to achieve the ambiance that is so natural in the Kumarakom. From the greeting at the door to the friendly and efficient table service, customer care is just one of many winning aspects of this unique restaurant. The pride that the owners take in their venture is evident at just one glance of their impressive menu. It's refreshing to discover that 'service with a smile' that is more synonymous with times past, is well and truly alive in the Kumarakom. I have been a regular customer for a while and never tire of sampling the goodies on offer.
I look forward to my weekly visits for many years to come :)
From the second you walk in the door you are greeted by the beautiful decor! I could spend all day there enjoying the food. The furniture is good and classy. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly. They are willing to go above and beyond to make sure each customer enjoys their time in the restaurant. I had the soup special for lunch, it was delicious. The food is always tasty with fresh and interesting ingredients. Perfect for anyone who wants to try something different in a relaxed friendly environment.
I will be coming back again; I love sharing this hidden gem with new people.
My husband and I recently had a late lunch at Kumarakom. It is a place I had been meaning to eat for quite a while. It’s a very attractive spot, the excellent mix of furnishings give it a great ambiance. The menu is vivid and everything looked very tasty and home-made. The server we had was very pleasant and helpful, but overall I would say the service was very slow. I ordered a prawn’s biriyani and my husband just had vegetable noodles. The noodles had arrived ages before the biriyani, so my husband had to wait for a long time. We had a baby with us so it was a bit of a challenge keeping her entertained while we waited. It was quite busy but not excessively.
The Kumarakom restaurant is a hidden gem. The decor is so inviting and it's lovely to have a browse of the atmosphere after you've eaten. My friends loved the place. They also loved the desserts. This is a wonderful spot for a lunch or dinner. The menu is superb. We sampled a number of desserts and one was nicer than the next. Also the staff were just lovely - helpful and very friendly. Highly recommend a visit here.
This is a nice restaurant to enjoy kerala food. They maintain good standards and they have good service for customers. They have a wide variety of food and all taste good. Should try this restaurant to enjoy the Keralite food.
I have eaten here twice and both times were nothing less than perfect. The food is so fresh you don't feel so bad for having a treat! The service is also very good all staff are extremely friendly and helpful. We had not booked a table and although they were super busy, the staff still managed to squeeze us in! I cant get over how reasonably priced everything is as the portions are pretty big! Love this place.
Everything was cooked fresh, Great selection on menu,staff very helpful.It is very busy at lunch time and tables are a bit too close together.
We had a fantastic meal for a reasonable price in this restaurant. Fast and very friendly service and the freshness of the ingredients was reflected in the tasteful food. Nothing fancy about it, just top quality dishes
I have dined in this restaurant on numerous occasions. As I regularly indulge in South Indian cuisine, I would highly recommend this place. The food is served in large portions yet still light and satisfying. The nadan kozhi curry and haryali kebab would be my favorite dishes. The service is quite good and very apologetic if any problems occur. I will continue to dine here in a regular basis.
Excellent food, fresh ingredients, lovely staff and fast service. It's a busy bustling small restaurant with excellent service. The Malabar chicken biriyani was so tasty but really hot!! had to get some fresh cucumber on the side, staff had no problem.They were really friendly and helpful.Was always with us, ready to render us top class service.Great place for quick bite to eat! Great prices too.

I have been to this restaurant two three times. Had tried Meals, Karimeen Pollichathu, Kerala Parotta and Beef varattiyathu from here. The food here is of good taste and quality. As this is a kerala restaurant, all kerala dishes are of good standard here.
The place is good, doesn't have a big board outside. Food was really good enjoyed the gravy and chicken.
Only complaint is that the service was very poor. They took a lot of time to serve.
The restaurant is situated on the first floor above the Axis Bank ATM which is somewhat bothersome to find. The interiors can be improved much more. More like a mess telling it gives. For afternoon lunch.. the kerala meals is very good. All the gravy items in the non veg category are made in pure Kerala style. Fish fry is very good there... Should definitely eat the puttu and kadala curry there.. The place overall is quite and nice and the staff is also very friendly. Overall very good price for money..
As a malayalee I always prefer and search for Kerala food .. In Chennai this is one of the best place we can feel and have Kerala food .. I have been here multiple times and Kerala meals with beef roast and beef curry.. I love beef roast and nadan chicken curry with appam. Karimeen fry is awesome here , but as usual costly.. All together good ambience in the restaurant.. As it is opposite to DLF it is easy to find the place and have yummy feast .. Only once I had a problem here.. We have ordered food and waited for 45 minutes... So I can't say the service is good here.. :)
This was our fourth visit to Kumarakom, Chennai and once again it was a memorable experience. There were six in our party this time and we availed of Kumarakom two course lunch for 9.95. Both the starter and main course were excellent and between the six of us we sampled the range of choices on the menu and nothing disappointed.Seasonal dishes and perfectly cooked meats make dinner a treat. Restaurant was very busy but as always the service was very prompt, unhurried professional and friendly. We will definitely be back.
Been to this restaurant a countless number of times. My friends and I used to visit this place often for lunch. Parking too is not a difficult issue here, you may always find one. The waiters know us pretty well as we are a regular. We always order mostly one thing here which is our favorite, 2 big parottas with any choice of chicken, we can choose from naadan poricha kozhi, tandoori chicken or grill chicken, all served with a chicken gravy.
Naadan poricha kozhi is a Kerala style fry which is more like a home made fried chicken, tandoori chicken is very good and so is the grilled. The affordability and their amazing taste made us visit the place frequently.
Awesome Kerala flavoured foods. The taste of the food would linger for a while. Loved the meal with palappam. The curries were all real good. The karimeen molie, naadan poricha kozhi and the egg roast were all superb. The payasam was class. If you are a fan of kerela food and other coastal cuisines. This is the place to go to. The prices of food items in kumarakom definitely seem a bit high but are worth for more than one time experience.
Kumarakom is a haven for all those malayalees, craving for a taste of the food they remember being served by their grandmother, once upon a happier time. The minute you enter, you know you have entered a mini version of Kerala.
A hot working day accompanied by a true blue mallu, how could we resist the temptation this place offered. The place is a must visit for all lovers of Kerala food. We tried their malabar styled chicken biryani and a plate of their wonderful prawn fry. The food brings out the authentic taste of ente keralam, as advertised.
Definitely worth a try!
I have been to Kumarakom restaurant on a number of occasions now and most recently 22nd March 2015 for my friends birthday.
If there is a formula for the perfect restaurant, it would undoubtedly involve plush leather upholstery, soft velvet seating, linen tablecloths, pristine tableware and soft lighting.
On arrival we were greeted very politely and courteously asked if we would like to sit, relax and have a drink before we ate.
Really a worthfull experience.
I had a meal hear with my boyfriend and it was an amazing experience from start to finish.
First thing to note is the decor. Such an elegant, warm and classy layout. We were then greeted by our server who couldn't have done more to make us welcome and comfortable.
The food was fabulous.
It was so good that I couldn't leave without booking a table for a friend as a birthday present.
I can't wait to go back.
This restaurant was a great surprise find. The waiter was so attentive, we had a great table and the menu was great. We were given complimentary sample starter, which was delicious. My fish was cooked perfectly. the mutton stew was perfect. The lunch was light and tasty. We had deserts and they were fabulous. I can not wait to go back in the evening for a romantic meal.
All I can say is, go, relax, enjoy the food and be amazed at how the hours slip past without even noticing.
The food is excellent, but for me the service is what makes this restaurant stand out. One of the most enjoyable evenings I can remember having anywhere.Its so fabulous that you cannot explain it with words.Its something that you have to experience.
Have gone there 3 times with office colleagues...for treats....basically since its very near to office....
ambieance is ok but something very good...a decent one...
service is good
good is good in taste.....pricing is ok.....
a good place for keralite food.....
This is my first ever review, but I feel credit where credit due. This place is unique and impeccably decorated; the thoughtfulness that the owner has put into this unique experience is fantastic. The food is also beautiful but I think the place is so special because of the staff! Such a lovely staff and I loved the way they described in detail everything you were about to taste, they created a lovely buzz and excitement and I think the success/experience of this restaurant is down to the wonderful staff first and foremost, the originality of the food, the beautiful decor. An unbelievable experience!
Saw all the excellent reviews and I was intrigued. But I came away feeling that all hype was well deserved. This is much more than a meal out; it is a whole dining experience. Food and service, all were excellent. We were spoilt from start to finish. We will not hesitate to come back to this restaurant.
We were there last weekend for a couple night out and was thrilled with our choice of place to eat! We had a lovely menu for two, two courses.There was loads of choices and I was delighted with mine! We also had Naan which was delish!! The staff there were great.
We got a takeaway and it was very tasty. We got a free drink which was much appreciated too :). The chicken tikka was amazing, I've never had anything like that but it was absolutely delicious. The only thing I have not really liked was the soup. It is much nicer than some places.
Love for Kerala food never ends. And this restaurant does is a must visit. Tasty food, good presentation, quick service and good quantity of food. What more you need ? Ambience is good but there is not much of parking space here. Its quite crowded in the weekend . Worth the money.
This was a delightful evening from start to finish. It began with a warm welcome from the staff who shook our hands, and the service continued equally friendly and attentive throughout. There is no choice here, just the tasting menu, billed as 7 courses but if anything you get more rather than less, and nothing whatever to dislike. Every course was delicious.The service offered by the staff was really excellent, friendly but also knowledgeable and professional. I must say I was skeptical going here but I came away pretty much converted – to say it is the best restaurant in Chennai is definitely going too far, but at the discounted price it is to be strongly recommended.
I went there with my brother and some friends.
We went in last monthr and when you walk in its a fantastically decorated little restaurant. The staff are just brilliant and went through every course as it came out.
The owner came out at the end of our meal and checked that everything was good and what we liked the most.
We love Kerala food and decided to try this restaurant. The staff was so incredibly attentive.The dishes and condiments were much sweeter and less spicy than we expected.The dishes were a little expensive but it is worth the money.
We were here for a friend's birthday and enjoyed lovely meals and the friendliest and attentive service! Had a complimentary starter to taste and they came out with a slice of cake and songs for the birthday girl! Had a great night and will defiantly be back!...
For kerala meals good place. Fish is a must try here but the cost is bit higher. Overall the ambience is very good.
The food was of good quality and ambiance is also nice, a great place to have Kerala food in Chennai

Best place to get a perfect tasty Kerala foods. Large variety of vegetarian food is also available
Nice place. Broad tables and dim light. Quite a relaxing ambience after looking constantly at the computer screens during office hours. Three of us (one vegetarian friend) went there for lunch. The friends took veg meals (one with plain rice and the other with Kerala rice) and I had two Kerala parathas. We also ordered Paneer Tikka Masala which had less quantity of paneer and large diced cubes of capsicum and tomato. Didn't like it that much. Amongst the two non - vegetarians, we shared one fried Aila fish and one Karimeen Pollichattu. Both were really nice.
Environment is good, good to have meals for the 55 rupees. Really a good meals for this price. But always they will service very late. Environment also good. Side dish will be bit costlier.
The hot and sour soup was really really spicy... You might want to mention when you give the order to make it less spicy. Also, the malabar fish curry ('ayala') could have been cooker better. But the kappa/puttu combo with fish curry was just good :)
Good food.. Service not up to the mark.. Authentic Kerala Meals. Go early for lunch because the Kerala rice gets over quickly.
Mutton fry 👎, biryani 👍,paisam👌
Good place if you want to eat Kerala food. A good Kerala menu with even some local dishes of Kerala. Keralites will love the food.
Good place, moderate crowd usually, Good quality Kerala food at cheap rate compare to other kumarakam restaurant.
Good place to have Kerala style dishes. This restaurant is residing opposite to DLF IT park Ramapuran.
Very good food. Nice ambience. Meals not unlimited but still worth the price tag.
