    After first time bad experience with one chicken gravy visited again. This time food was good. Enjoyed. Tried only vegetarian foods. Pepper Mushroom, kadai panner, veg. kuruma, Appam and Parotta. Nice Ambience and good service too. Restaurant has been added to my good book list in Fahaheel area.

  • 5/5 Jubin E. 5 years ago on Google
    Nice Kerala restaurant with a unique concept. The seating is setup just like the inside of an Indian railways compartment (replete with an engine in front) with televisions placed showing the scenes from a train window making it looks like you are traveling on a train in Kerala. (Add your own vacillation for full effect :)) Both Kerala style traditional meals and biryani was very good and tasty. Service was good. The price very reasonable.

  • 4/5 Nibin M. 5 years ago on Google
    Good to visit for groups and family. Food is also delicious. Almost all Kerala style dishes are available. Food is expensive and quantity is less. The fish curry we brought was not tasteful. Beef roast and Dragon chicken was good. Customer service and services are also well mannered.

    Pros: Ambience of sitting inside a typical Indian train. Cons: Food is hardly average. Most of the menu listed items are unavailable. Hygiene is 6 / 10.

    Good food. But very costly. Will not recommend

  • 4/5 Sharatchandra R. 5 years ago on Google
    A Kerala (Travancore) Cuisine Restaurant located on the 1st Floor of the Olive Super Market Building (Next to Green Tower) in Fahaheel. The theme is of a Indian Railways train coach at a typical station. The tables inside the train coach have lcd screens where the windows are supposed to be and these play videos of train journeys through Kerala. The seats, luggage racks and the fans match a typical Indian Railways Sitting Coach and give the feeling of dining in a train. Good, tasty food, reasonable prices and quick service. Afternoon Menu is limited to Thali and Biryani only. The complete menu is only available during the evenings. Do Check it out!

  • 1/5 Jelak C. 2 years ago on Google
    Ordered Dum biriyani and Paneer kadai with Kerala Porota during dine-in at their restaurant today. Ambiance was good and for the food felt that even though its pricy, it tasted ok and they have good quantity. Could only have like 1/4 th of the serving of it. Hence asked the waiter to pack the rest of it for takeaway. Paid the waiter 10% tip as well. After returning back home, when we opened the rest of the expected dum biriyani from the takeaway pack, there was only very Less quantity in it. Almost all of the biryani which was left to the guy to pack as takeaway was missing. What a cut throat! how could the restaurant take out a hefty portion from already eaten servings of a customer? I would definitely avoid the place in future because I paid for the biriyani and it was served in the table but lost in the takeaway parcel. What a cheating!

    Very good and tasty food. Ambience was very cool and nice behaving staffs. We went for a small birthday party at night after closing branch so the time was nearly closing time still they served us happily, good food and beautiful food presentation as it was remarkable. They made us happy with all the possible supports. It is really cool place for small parties and gatherings. We had both veg and non vegetarian food. They served also all kind of Kerala style and traditional food.

    Kerala Express offers a delectable journey through Kerala's flavors. With authentic dishes like porotta and beef fry, it delivers a taste of South India. The cozy ambiance and friendly service add to the dining experience, making it a must-visit for those craving Kerala cuisine in Kuwait."

  • 4/5 Rupa R. 3 years ago on Google
    As fas the ambience is concerned Train like feel is the good idea which they ve adopted. There is both normal restaurant and train like setup but mostly I prefer train setup because my kid enjoys to sit there. Food is good but I cant say that taste is very consistent. Sometimes it is very tasty and sometimes it is ok. I think it depends on the chef who prepares it🤔

  • 3/5 amal K s. 2 years ago on Google
    Can't say that it's a great Indian food option in faheel. Actually am an average taste and quality of food nothing more than that. Ambience is actually something totally different but after few minutes you feels likes getting bored about it. Really need to improve in food taste., But not bad that's it.

  • 4/5 Joshua M. 2 years ago on Google
    Tasty food & Service. Kizi porotta was Delicious but it was very spicy. Overall Good.

  • 1/5 Ms C. 2 years ago on Google
    First experience - since it was New Years, they have their Sadhya(special meal) Fish Sadhya. The food was okay. What was bothering that they served it cold. They menu consisted only of the sadhya and some biryanis. It’s a one time go for me. Apart from the food, the ambiance itself is also okay.

  • 3/5 Sanju J. 11 months ago on Google
    Well Maintained. Neat and Clean. Nice Ambience of a Railway Station. Creative idea of Train Coaches for Seating, TVs as windows with videos to give a feeling of moving train. Visited during Lunch Time which is always peak hours especially on weekends. Service was bit delaying. Food was good. Meals itself is more enough even without any extra side dishes. QR Scan code for the Menu given in the table paper was not working.

  • 5/5 Mathai 10 months ago on Google
    Very nice creatively built railway station with train coaches for seating and videos which gives feeling of moving train. We use to visit for dinner. It is usually bit busy place but its worth if you have to wait even to get table. Inside the coach is good atmosphere for having food with family. All kids loves that. Good service and very delicious food. I have given a bulk order for Biriyani and they have done a excellent job. They made it very delicious, everyone loved it. If someone ask in one word about this place, I will say " it's just Awesome ".

  • 1/5 AQUIF L. 9 months ago on Google
    I ordered one Chicken dum biriyani and one Beef Biriyani. It was total 3.600 KD. The Beef biriyani was average, but the chicken biriyani was the worst biriyani I ever had in Kuwait. They told us that this is a special dum biriyani but it didn't. It was just a mixture of onion and tomato masala with 2 chicken pieces, some rice and one egg. This is not at all worth for the money which I paid. The masala in the chicken biryani was heavy and there was floating oil in the packet, too much of oil in the chicken biryani. I never recommend this restaurant ever.

  • 4/5 yank v. 4 months ago on Google
