Interesting
elements
of
décor,
fabulous
food
and
service
with
a
personal
touch.
The
path
leading
to
the
restaurant
was
filled
with
numerous
interesting
elements
such
as
swathes
of
fabric
in
lovely
traditional
patterns,
replica
of
a
wooden
houseboat,
statue
of
a
Kathakali
dancer,
an
ornate
bicycle,
etc.
The
restaurant
had
an
ethnic
and
cozy
feel
with
wooden
furniture,
lanterns,
instruments
of
Indian
classical
music,
etc.
For
our
meal,
we'd
ordered
bhuna
ghost,
home
style
vegetable
curry,
spicy
tangy
prawns,
rice
and
appams.
The
food
was
splendid.
The
bhuna
ghost
was
cooked
to
perfection
with
the
mutton
well
done
in
a
thick
and
delicious
gravy.
The
home
style
vegetable
curry
(naadan
curry)
was
creamy
and
subtly
flavoured.
The
fresh,
soft
appams
were
made
at
a
live
counter
which
the
staff
set
up
right
next
to
our
table
so
we
could
have
them
hot
off
the
counter.
We
ended
our
meal
with
filter
coffee,
which
was
milky
and
yet
had
a
robust
flavour
without
being
bitter.
The
food
was
served
on
banana
leaves
cut
to
size
and
placed
in
each
plate,
which
isn't
a
common
sight.
The
staff
encouraged
to
use
our
fingers
and
eat
in
the
traditional
Indian
way.
They
even
brought
a
bowl
full
of
warm
water
to
the
table
to
help
us
wash
our
hands
just
before
the
meal
even
though
they
had
given
us
sanitiser
when
we'd
entered.
The
staff
was
friendly
and
attentive
without
being
overbearing
or
intrusive
in
any
way.
Bachan,
the
restaurant
incharge,
was
constantly
around
to
make
sure
everything
was
in
place
and
that
we
had
a
good
time.
Chef
Bala
graciously
came
over
to
our
table
to
answer
questions
we
had
about
options
in
the
menu,
help
us
with
recommendations
and
understand
any
requests
for
customisation.
From
getting
beverages
on
the
table
within
minutes
of
being
seated
to
bringing
a
washing
bowl
over
to
the
table
and
always
being
around
to
serve
helpings,
Rahul
(the
staff
member
serving
us)
managed
everything
so
promptly
and
efficiently
that
we
never
had
to
ask
him
for
anything
Taking
plenty
of
photographs,
relishing
the
food
and
being
pampered
by
the
staff,
we
truly
enjoyed
ourselves.
The
food
was
fantastic
and
the
staff
made
our
experience
even
better
with
their
attention
to
detail
as
well
as
their
warm
behaviour.
