"Kadavu Special Fish Curry – It’s usually made with freshly caught fish, simmered in a tangy tamarind or kokum base, with coconut and roasted spices giving it that authentic Kerala touch. Best enjoyed with steaming hot rice or Kerala parotta. And chicken sukka we had. Life is at the fullest here. Thanks to mr Nidhin he served food with love and care. We are blessed"

"A well hidden gem! I rarely write a review but I felt this restaurant really deserved justice. We had a really great dinner - good food and a superb service by Vijesh! The beef ribs were the best I ever had, and Vijesh was kind to let us know that it was a huge portion good for sharing and hence we did not over order. Very impressed by how friendly he was. Highly recommended this reasonably priced restaurant!!!"
