    Very Good veg Restaurant in Kochi. Hygienic food and taste is good with Better value for money. Along with variety of South Indian dishes, there is option of north Indian and Chinese foods also. Whoever visit Kochi can enjoy food.

    I really loved the food here. It is a saviour for those who prefer pure vegetarian places. We asked them not to put oil in masala dosa and they did not put. It’s a great place

    A great place to have vegetarian food (similar to the darshinis in Bangalore). I was around Subash park in Marine Drive and happened to stop at this place for breakfast (Never seen this place being promoted by the hyped food influencers around Kochi, so the first visit was purely incidental). Been there at least thrice since. Will have to admit that we have had nothing but Dosas so far, but they were great.. always.. along with the chutneys and sambar. Tea was good too. Editing the review to add an item. Had podi idli- great too.

    We had their mini north indian thali which was an ideal meal for lunch served with soft rotis, a cup of jeera rice along with palak paneer, dal fry generously made with ghee, yoghurt, and kesari baath. It was a very filling and tasty meal. Highly recommended and the for the price it was perfect.

    Had Maharaja Thali from Upahaara today - it’s really a “Maharaja”- sumptuous …difficult for one person to finish it fully. Good taste - Pulav, Jeera rice, Gobi Manchurian,Channa Masala, Dal….all were delicious…Nice ambience, neat & clean and courteous staff.

    A must visit for people looking to get some real lip smacking vegetarian food quickly. The best dal I have ever had in all of Kerala. Come over the weekend as the place gets busy during the week.

Mark my word, this new kid on the block is going to make waves soon - if not already !!

    Ducking away from Kochi rain, I had the good fortune of encountering Upahaara. Modern seating, open kitchen, clean handwash area and moderately priced fresh food- couldn't have asked for more! Chutneys were fresh and oh so flavorful. Warning- pooris are big!

    Great place very near to the Ernakulam boat jetty on the cannon shed road. Very clean, honest to goodness pure vegetarian food without any artificial flavors with the udupi heritage. The color scheme and the ambience of the place simply add energy in addition to the very tasty food. The quantity is simply amazing, and one should be very careful in ordering. The staff is very helpful and courteous as well. Overall, it was a very good experience and a pleasant surprise.

    Food: very average, curd rice is very plain without a taste, bed fried rice was decent Atmosphere: check weather before you go, it's the same inside, very open to road, hot and dusty tbh Price: heavily overpriced

    Upahaara is a vegetarian restaurant located near the Ernakulam boat jetty on Cannon Shed Road. It is a small and unassuming restaurant, but the food is excellent. We tried the Mysore masala dosa, idli set, and sambar vada. Each dish was delicious and well-prepared. The dosa was crispy and flavorful, the idlis were soft and fluffy, and the sambar vada was perfectly balanced. The proprietor of the restaurant was very helpful and friendly. made sure that we were happy with our meal. There is limited parking available at the restaurant, but there is also parking available on the roadside. I am not sure if there is a toilet facility at the restaurant. Overall, I had a great experience at Upahaara. The food was excellent, the service was friendly, and the prices were reasonable. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious vegetarian meal in Ernakulam.

    Such a wonderful place this is. Started around 7 months ago, serving superb quality food. With Pooja managing the place so efficiently, callouts to chotuuu and master show their team work. They are like one happy family. Eat here for a quick yet satisfying tiffin.

    Upahaara provides a revitalizing haven for vegetarians in the bustling heart of business activity, Broadway Arena. It boasts a delightful ambiance and serves outstanding snacks and fast food. The seating arrangements and presentation are both aesthetically pleasing. Wishing them continued success!

    Dosas at its best! Tried Kutty dosas and Ghee roast, comes with 3 chutneys and tasty sambhar. Excellent Paneer tikka, served with pickled carrots and beetroot is a must try. Butter naan with paneer Butter masala too was really good. Good service.

    My 3 day trip to kochi for the marathon was made pleasant because of healthy & tasty food at upahaara. Well,I ate 5 times here,that should give a fair idea of why I returned each time. Affordable price, lovely hospitality and a small hole in the wall kinda place with about 6 tables! Does get busy,since the locals frequent it for the north Indian food and bfast. Can't recommend this enough! Cheers🙂

  • 5/5 Raja R. 11 months ago on Google
    We had breakfast at Upahaara today. Great food, and excellent service. We had poori masala, sambar idli, masala dosa and curd Vada. Sambar idli and curd Vada tasted amazing. The restaurant is maintained well. Would definitely recommend Upahaara if you're looking for scrumptious South Indian food in Ernakulam
