    Authentic kerala food. AC and non AC seating available. A great place to try sea food items as well as other non veg dishes. Having said that, their veg thali, served on banana leaf is simply awesome with lots of different dishes including sweets. There is a special thali especially on sundays. The taste is very homely with the right amount of spices. Definitely recommended especially if u want to try some South indian food.

    This place is good to have one time experience of Kerala food. I am not pretty sure, what you expect from this place. The food quantity is average, food quality is good. We tried Sunday special lunch. It's delicious. Service is ok. You can ask them to recommend today's special or restaurant special dish.

    Recommend! If you are looking for a good kerela food in South Mumbai this is the best place where you can visit. It’s situated in fort area and they serve authentic kerela food. You have many options here from veg to fish you can get all. The quality was great and the quantity was decent. This place is very crowded so check your schedule. Money is also decent not very expensive. Do try it and for more such content follow me on Instagram @thefoodienomad

    Taste of food items are good. We tried pofret fish and chicken kerala they served fried chicken & fish and gravy separately which I found unique. Services are good and quick. Prices are economical and overall really good experience. For videos please subscribe my youtube channel- Jordan the wanderer. Follow me on Instagram- Saurabh_mehandroo.

With its commitment to authentic flavors and warm hospitality, Taste of Kerala provides a taste of the culinary delights that Kerala has to offer. We had: -Kerala special veg thali (Sadhya) 🔹Kerala special veg thali (Sadhya)🔹 Sadhya thali is a traditional and elaborate meal from Kerala, South India, that is typically served during festive occasions and special celebrations. It is a vegetarian feast that consists of a variety of dishes served on a banana leaf, showcasing the rich culinary heritage of Kerala. The rice is typically accompanied by parippu (dal), sambar (a lentil and vegetable stew), rasam (a tangy soup), and a variety of vegetable curries. The thali also includes several side dishes such as avial (a mixed vegetable preparation cooked in coconut gravy), olan (a white gourd and coconut stew), thoran (stir-fried vegetables with coconut), and pachadi (a yogurt-based dish with vegetables or fruits), Parotha or rotis. HIghlight was the Mango based curry which had a hint or rawness and sweetness to it. Whether you are a vegetarian or simply appreciate the flavors and diversity of Indian cuisine, experiencing a sadhya thali is a must when visiting Taste of Kerala 🌼Recommendation🌼 Kerala special veg thali (Sadhya) Mango special curry 🌼Overall🌼 Service 4/5 Food 4/5 Price 4/5

    Really liked the food but loved the prices even more! In Rs 210, two of us ate a satisfying and wholesome meal. The food is authentic ( Mallu approved). The place isn't fancy, in fact, it's very small but the tables are big enough even if you're going with a big gang.

    Its ok . Been here many time. To be frank kerala sadya which is their flag ship dish , the tase of which does not go near or closer to kerala. I had this sadya about six years back and still now taste has not improved. Well keep trying. But you see other preparations are awesome, kappa, chicken sukka, roast, porotta etc are all awesome. Biriyani is delicious. Fish fry are great and lots of variety and is rightly priced . They have one or two parking space, but you need to be an expert in parking and navigating through small roads. Doubt case drivers can opt for taxi or two wheeler is best. Easy to find if asked for lalit refreshments.

    Tucked into the by-lanes on the roads from CSMT toi Flora Fountain, it is a small restaurant serving delicious Kerala food The dinner on the banana leaf was quite authentic, with the Avial, Sambar, Erisheri, Stew etc tasting as good as any similar preparation in Kerala. The cost is of course higher, keeping in mind the city and the location. Good dining and worth a second visit.

    Fish fry is must. Being maharashtrian I can not say wheather it is authentic Keralite food but definitely it is tasty, not overpriced and fresh fish. 5 star for the service as well.

    They are not even deserve for a single star review. Absolutely cheating and high rate. I ordered for kerala parota and they have given chappathy. Ordered for pothu curry and it was missing in kit. No good customer relation. They are thinking that we are begging for a food and will not pay for that. Food is not fresh and I got upset stomach once I tasted. Not at all recommended . I spend 1830 rs for parota, 2 meals, and one plate of pothu curry. In that one item was missing. Avoid this place and go for better option nearby. I never go back to this worst place again.

    The service is a mess and the ambience is kind of non existent , but the Kerala food will compensate for everything . Had surmai fry and crab roast here. While the surmai fry was decent , the crab roast along with appam s were quite extraordinary. The food will take its own sweet time to come. For me it's a sign that , your food is getting freshly prepared . I would recommend to have some time in hand , when going there. Also avoid this place, if you are freaky about hygiene. The plates and the spoons may not be all that squeaky clean . P.S: The large serving of mean looking crab roast didn't give me a heartburn ( acidity ) afterwards.

    This place is amazing for Fish & Prawns. This was my first time visiting this place, so I was definitely clueless on what to order. They serve authentic Kerala food. Had ordered Prawns Chilly dry, it was not like Chinese it was Kerala style gravy. The served Tiger prawns and quantity was good for two. We also ordered Plain rice, a bit of sambhar, Banana Fry (I thought it would be some kind of chips, but it was Banana dipped in some batter and fried) which was quite new for me. Overall it was a great experience. I will definitely be visiting again for Prawns. The complete cost of the Meal Prawns Chilly Dry, Plain Rice, Sambhar, Banana Fry, 3 Malabari Paratha was 675 Rs, which I found extremely reasonable. Also they have 4 types of pickle to taste, I liked the Sweet mangi pickle. Definitely looking forward to more Kerala food. Amazing Food, friendly staff, plus they gave us a complementary desert Kheer, which was also different and the taste was amazing. Being a foodie, this place has got me hooked.

  • 4/5 Ammar J. 10 months ago on Google
    Both types of seating are available in AC & Non AC. The service is fast and the servers are friendly. It was our first time trying the Kerala food so as a first timer we enjoyed the food, the food was good in taste, didn't find any major difference in the taste when compared to other restaurants. Since it was our first time trying the Kerala food we need to taste more Kerala food to give a perfect review on the food taste. The dishes we tried were Chicken Chettinand,Chicken Kerala roast with Paratha , Iddiyappam and appam. They serve the food on Banana leaf & have Pink hot water for general serving which is popular in Kerala. Overall we had a good time must visit once.

    If you are a fan of Kerala food or if you’d like to try authentic Kerala food, this is the place. We tried Kizhi parota, and it was finger licking good. The ones serving were also very friendly. Parking during peak times is a tough job here.

  • 5/5 Zainab c. 1 year ago on Google
    Frankly, I was looking for a place where I can get authentic Kerala delicacies, and finally found one ! We had SADHYA. Sadhya is a vegetarian feast consisting of a minimum 27- 30 items and served mainly during onam or vishu. Onam!!  A harvest festival of god's own country "Kerala". Onam is celebrated for 10 days, it starts as Atham, Chitira, Chodi, Vishakham, Anizham, Thirketa, Moolam, Pooradam, Uthradom and last but not the least is Thiruonam. Back to sadhya,Trust me!! It was bloody delicious, each dish consisted of delicate spices infused with coconut milk and coconut oil. For me, the most interesting part is the serving process, each serving starts from the tip of a banana leaf. The main dish of sadhya is "Avial" mixed vegetables cooked in coconut milk, Matta rice i.e, Red rice, Shakkara Varatti - Fried Banana coated with jaggery served mainly in snacks, Kalan- a thick gravy  and finally payasam also known as 'Ada Pradaman' while writing this i am seriously tempting for this i have never tasted such payasam before. While there are a lot of other dishes served too like pineapple pachadi, varieties of sambar, olan, erissery, sweet and tangy pickles, pappadam, chips and much more. Accompanied by Duck Biryani, Idiyappam and Bangda fry. All three were finger licking. If you are looking for a good value place in Mumbai, then this Mallu restaurant is one of them.
