“ It feels like I was back to Calicut itself, very tasty, interesting and quality place!!! Special Thanks to the waitor Anandy ! He was very helpful! Definetely you have to try here! The prices also are very good ”
“ Youd never know it existed if not for Google maps, and of course, know some of the Keralite diaspora who frequent the restaurant.The place is large, well lit, and welcoming. The staff are attentive, neatly dressed, and very professional.I ordered a kerala style spiced thick seafood broththats what it was, though its called something else.First impression Quantity was large, almost a meal in itself if accompanied by bread. It smelt delicious with bits of seafood floating besides curry leaves.The taste was even better, and it had ample quantities of shrimp, fish, squid, and crab if Im not mistaken. Well done to the Chef!I next ordered a mutton dish, cooked in roasted onion sorry, the name is bit of a tongue twister for me. This, too, was delicious.I wouldve liked to have tried the deserts, but I was too full, though I left back a portion of the gravy and mutton cooked with the bone, so you might need a fork and knife, though the way to eat it is to digin with your hands.Will I return? Surely, if Im passing by. ”
