    The food was really awesome. A lot of sea food varieties. The atmosphere was extremely good and staffs were super friendly. We had ordered king fish fry, red snapper pollichodu and lemon butter garlic fish. It is also not overly priced. A must visit for the food and the beach.

    Located opposite the beach, this is a place serving fresh seafood. You can choose the seafood item- prawns/squid’s/fish and they will cook it as per your liking The waiting time, though, was too high. You may have to wait up to 40 min. For other non seafood items, the service is quicker Ordered the pomfret cooked in Kerala spices. Was quite flavourful. The dal is also good

    Absolute heaven ❀️ I must say.. being born and brought in Goa, I really loved the Goan vibe I got here..πŸ₯Ί Beautiful beach, and this restaurant is amazing. So, it was me and my husband and we wanted to have seafood, so we ordered a seafood platter, which cost 2k. There was a portion of rice, around 6 big prawns, one crab, a piece of fish with garlic cream sauce(I guess) and squid fry. We also ordered two extra chapati, thinking this might not be enough. But believe me, we never expected this to be so so huge and tasty. It was so so yummy, we being a great foody, this absolutely made our tummy full. We also had a beer, but I'd always suggest you to have wine instead when you have this kind of food. Once again, The Crow's Nest Cafe is an awesome place. Also, the service given is amazing, they know how to treat their customers well.. would definitely visit again, and might try other items.

    One of the best restaurant on the Kovalam beach. We had 'fish pollichathu' from a fresh spotted grouper and the dish was one of the best dish I have tried with in Kerala. They have fresh seafood stocks to choose from and service, taste, ambience is amazing. It's right on the beach front.so a must try experience.

    Don't go if you are an Indian. Totally no local taste.. They made it full European style and food is yuck.. Squid is surely a never try. They will suggest some costly fish of 1000 rs KG and it's totally waste

    Great food. Extraordinary Vibe. Only Under Ground cafe I know of around this area. Really difficult to locate, but worth it. Ask the house looking building near the location pin and they will lead you to the underground tunnel door.

    A place which you would be tempted to try and you wont be disappointed either. We went there during the day at around 3/4 pm but it was closed, which is actually the case with many restaurants along side the beach. So we visited during the night and tried Mac and Cheese. Neither the food disappoint us nor the service. They have online ordering system, you scan the QR and place the order, but one you place the order do check with staff. They had masala corn in that menu, and we were about to add it, but we wanted to check how is it made and to our surprise it was not in stock but was there in the online menu to order. One thing which is a disappointment across all restaurants here is their preference for foreigners (especially during peak time). Front row beach view seats are generally reserved for them and they get preference over you in all scenarios.

    Crows Nest Cafe - the best cafe in Kovalam!!! Here you can try the real Italian coffee, very delicious cakes, tasty breakfasts! If you want, you can even make cake by your own recipe with Vipin - the owner of this cafe!!! Here is very good and modern music and of course the atmosphere and energy!!! In this place every customer become the real friend of Vipin's. You should try ice coffee take away and chocolate cake!!!! And in the evenings you can dance here))

    I'm in disbelief how this restaurant has a 4.7 rating . The fish dish dishes that we ordered seemed like masala was just prinkeled on a pre broiled fish. They also took over 40 mins to cook. So we were pretty disappointed. The fishes weren't even de scaled well . Service wise. It seemed that the waiters were giving first preference to the lighter skinned Europeans over the people who arrived first. One of our servers just paused and hurried to serve a European as they walked in... in the middle of taking our order. It's quite shameful. I'll never come back here again. The atmosphere is probably the only positive they have with a blue lit picture of the water spirit. Message to the owner : get a better cook, and stop employing racist servers... that's so behind the times.

    The food was amazing. We had fish and it was enough for the two of us. The fish was fresh and the preparation was equally good. The service was prompt and polite. The view was amazing. Only issue we faced was reaching this place. Confusing since you need to park the car somewhere and then walk towards this place.

    Nice place to have food and enjoy the waves/sea view. We tried veg food and liked it. We were informed veg dishes are prepared separately vs non veg. Staff was friendly and helpful. Overall stay at unwind and food at CNC was good combination
