One of the oldest restaurants in Ernakulam city... The Chinese menu is good and comes in a comparatively good quantity when compared to its price... The beef preparations are also great to taste...
One of the oldest outlets along with chiyang to serve Chinese or oriental ,we tried out egg fried rice ,chicken noodles and their signature chilli chicken .Well it was lovely .The whole food experience with the gush of indo Chinese flavours. .so perfect that u want to come back soon to this place
The chariot runs a coffee shop from 4 pm and 7 pm.I have heard people speaking highly of the place. Many times when I reached the place by 6.45 almost everything was empty and have ended up craving to task the food here. So I went today and had tea , coffee , banana fry (pazham Pori) and Egg Bonda.
The banana fry was simply fantastic. So was the tea and coffee.
Egg Bonda was another story. It was nothing to tell anyone about. The egg Bonda was served with chutney which was tasty. The Bonda was kind off not that great
If your looking for some good food at reasonable price chariot is the place to be.we ordered cream of tomato soup ,veg noodles ,chivken noodles,crispy chicken and pork noodles and chilly chicken.The soup was creamy hot and just perfect.Among the noodles the crispy chicken and pork noodles was my favourite.The chilly chicken lacked flavour and was bland.But overall good food
Chariot resaturent was around my school days but started exploring it when in college and continuing after two decades... .The ubiquitous Kerala fish curry meals is authentic and tasty here even today.Do not expect fine dining experience with old furniture without any comfort of sitting, but the fish curry with fresh fish is sumptous with a rice meal. I know office goers who is having lunch everyday.Warm and pleasant service replenishing accompaniments whnever its needed is one good aspect I noticed.Their fish fry is also nice .All items are reasonably priced.I havent tried the chinese varieties though good rating among foodies.
This place was there from the date I can think of
Known for its Chinese dishes and Kerala meals for lunch. Still same waiter was serving to us when I gone there for the first time.(which was way back in early nineties )We had old favourite sweet corn soup ,mixed fried rice and chilly chicken. Food is ok and service is super quick and prices re reasonable.Food served nothing extra ordinary but was tasty for me.
Forgot to mention about ambiance which was also same (1990's)

Chariot was one of the very first Chinese restaurants in the city back in day.
Whether it's breakfast , lunch or dinner this restaurant delivers. During lunch its a full house . The meals here is average so don't go for that .
The fried rice with a side dish of beef , chicken or even pork is good .
Just outside the restaurant there a tea shop which servers THE BEST LIME TEA and short eats .
Affordable - Hell Yes
Parking - lots of space
Ambience - old school Chinese décor
Food - main course is decent - short eats with lime time is amazing .
One of the oldest players serving good food with hygiene. Consistent in their products and service. The best thing is their evening snacks which is a blessing for people working in and around M G Road.
Chariot has been around for ages and has now seen the world around it change drastically. Yes - it looks a lil shady and the insides too old school. But the food they serve are fabulous. My Appa just can't skip on a chance to have fish curry meals from Chariot. Fried rice and chilli chicken tops my favorites though (Now you notice the generation gap here, don't you?). And their Chai and snacks (Spring rolls to be specific) are the best in town - Hands down. This is the best of Old Cochin (Way before Metro construction decided to plunge MG road into darkness) and they have stayed that way.
The good old chariot! A trustable place for lunch even with a lean pocket.Even though I have visited the place a lot ,back my entrance coaching days ( which made me foodie) I never knew their old hit fishcurry meals.I always chose Chinese here ,which was quite good.And recently my achan took me to this place and we had fish curry meals, during lunch he kept on explaining his good old memories about the restaurant.Probably something that Trivandrum walas will feel abt th Famous Indian coffeehouse thambanoor or wot i will feel about Abad food court -bpm or cocoa tree mg road on later days! Food is so much attached to memories
Went here with family a month back. My dad used to say this place was one of the best back in the old. This place is located near the Shenoy's theater. The look and feel of this place is average , and also its one of the oldest hotels in kochi.
I have heard like the fish curry meals over here is really good but unfortunately we were too late and the fish curry got over, we only got the curry with out the fish; it tasted good.
We ordered veg meals for everyone and fish fry for each. The food was really good and the fish fry tasted superb. This was one of the last veg meal i had before shifting to Ireland. Recommended to all...
This is a very good place to have lunch they have good lunch. By night they turn into Chinese restaurant with good soups. They have been in kochi and is one of the first restaurants in Cochin to offer cheese foods.
The chariot takes you back to the late eighties and early nineties. When Kochi was Ernakulam. The decor and ambience are exactly how they used to be when they opened, yet clean and cozy.
Chariot is a nostalgic restaurant for anyone who's lived in Kochi. The food is a mixture of keralan and Chinese(mallu version).
Chariot is popular for their fish curry meals, which are simple yet great.
If you are around shenoys or Padma and crave for place that serves fish curry meals, has parking and a nostalgic past, this is the place to be.

Chariot is one of the oldest restaurants in Kochi. But their food makes people flock this place. Located very cloe to Shenoy's theater this place has simple ambiance with both A/c and non A/c seating. chariot is a great place to have food and if you are a fan of non veg this is a must try place.
The countless time I have come here, its been for their chilly beef. This is one of the best chilly beef you would find in town. Mixed fried rice with chilly beef is a kick ass combo. Chilly chicken is definitely not bad, but not the best. They also have porota, butter chicken which is pretty good. The portion sizes are very good. One of the other must try dish is their sweet corn chicken soup. You will surely not regret having it. During lunch hours, I have seen many people go for the meals option. I haven't tried it yet though
A grand meal at this place would cost you about 500 bucks (for 2). Service can be a little slow if you go during peak hours. But great food is guaranteed. This is my 2nd favorite place for Chinese in cochin.
A very old place serving Chinese & Fish Curry meals. There is a snacks & tea counter adjacent to the restaurant which is quite popular. Had fish curry meals today which was quite good. If you are a fan of indo chinese cuisine, do try their Cantonese Chicken. Service is good but ambience is not great.
Good to have fresh and hot snacks.Available Tea,Cofee,Black Tea,Black Cofee,Lime Tea.
Snacks: Bonda,Mulaku Bhajji,Ela Ada,Egg Bhajji,Parippu Vada,Undampori
Served along with Cocunut chutney; may be with rava mix.
Dining area is in old style.
A good restaurant in the heart of cochin city with both Veg and non veg menu. Fish curry Meals,Fried rice and chilly chicken are famous, they have special counter for tea and snacks out side the restaurant.
Food is good, especially like the fish curry and meals...
One of the oldest restaurants in the city
Serving quality food. The fish curry meals are quite popular and the Chinese food is also a must try.
A better tea shop with self service. Had been a spot for over many years.
I used to go.for evening team and snaks only. There rolls pazhampori and kesari is good. Other than this every snaks are average. Have tea coffee leamon tea and lime juice
Good quality food at economical prices.
Good place to have a lunch with fish curry meals. Good atmosphere to dine with your family. Ambience is bit old fashioned. Not maintaining properly. Better to avoid: Fried rice & chilly chicken. House keeping needs to be improved.
Lunch is good, like homley food. Fish curry meals is priced at 200, which i felt is on slightly higher side. The waiters keep on saying that fish curry is a default inclusion so that you will order fish curry meals
It's a very old restaurant i have been to here since 2000. Their main menu is Chinese but the fish curry meals they serve for lunch is cheap and best on MG road. Have good parking space also for around 10 cars.i last visited in Dec 2020. May be it's time for them to renovate the interiors. But the food still is good .
Will share 3 experiences.
No.1: We wanted to have Fish curry meals and we got one of the best here, home style. Though it was an old lookin Hotel , they were very good at their service part. The food was delicious and righly priced. We felt heartful.
No.2 : The food was the same. But we reached there really late on a Sunday.... The attitude of the staff was like you would want to walk away but for the home made feel food, I decided not to respond in the same tone.
No:3: There was lot of rush there and the staff were totally preoccupied. They somehow decided to serve tables of people who came later, beats me why... The cleanliness also , I felt to be poorer this time around.
In total, the feeling is like... Food is tasty, fish is tasty, Chinese food is good.... But it's like the don't care if we have from there or not... Nothing like customer satisfaction or delight concept there.
