The food was amazing ! After such a long time my family and I got to taste authentic Kerala food. Perfect level of spices and portions. We tried the prawns, beef ularthiyath, chicken and mutton biriyani and meen pollichath with porotta. It was all incredible !! We all enjoyed it thoroughly!
PROs - Kerala cuisine in south NJ, good food , fantastic service CONs - only open on weekends. ?? Well , there are very few Kerala restaurants in central / south NJ and hence finding this place was the best thing for us . Just 15 mins drive and fantastic location in East Windsor. Good parking facilities and there are so many other restaurants near by. We used to drive 45 mins for Kerala food and now it’s near . Great service . Always smiling and very courteous service . Ambience inside was ok , but I wish they make it better to make an essence of Kerala with some good Malayalam music and decors . We ordered a long list of food . Of course we came here for The fish polichatu.. a special dish famous in this restaurant. It was about 28$ though… my friend loved it . Nicely done but we thought it could have more spice and masala . Kerala chicken fry was really good. . Decent quantity . Kerala parota was authentic . I hope it was hand made and not frozen. Tasted good . KOZHI / chicken curry was too good . Perfect taste and spice . Veg Kurma was good . 👍 appam / coconut milk was good too.. Mutton biryani was one of its kind .. oh my god . Really good didn’t taste like biryani but the aroma was really good . Idiyappam was average . Because it was dense it was a rough tough to eat . Wish it was more soft .. sakkarai pongal sweet pongal was average too. Ada pradhaman was really good . Overall it was a good experience.. wanted to give 4 stars but gave it a 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Phenomenal food! We had the opportunity to eat during the veg sadhya meal - the variety was amazing, and each dish was out of the world - I couldn’t pick a favorite if I tried. The quantities are more than generous. We ate so much it was hard to breathe lol Chef Mathew is the humblest, sweetest person and he’s right there talking with you. Geeta is so sweet and friendly too. You’ll feel like you’ve come over to a friend’s place to eat. Can’t wait to be back!
This place has the best chicken tikka masala I’ve ever had, and their lime soda was incredibly refreshing. Even my toddler, who’s a very picky eater, loves their food! The owner’s wife was our server. She was so sweet and attentive, which made our experience even better. Just a heads-up: this isn’t fast food. Everything is made to order with fresh ingredients, so be patient. It’s absolutely worth the wait. Perfection takes time!
The culinary experience was truly exceptional! We savored every bite of the delectable Kerala cuisine. The Chef graciously accommodated our preferences, crafting off-menu dishes that delighted our taste buds. Impeccable customer service complemented the exquisite flavors. Each dish was a testament to freshness and skillful preparation. We eagerly look forward to our next visit!
Amazing food. Excellent taste. Most authentic Kerala food I have ever had. Must try it.
This place deserves 5 star for sure. Small cozy place to try some of the best kerala style food. This is my second time, and the taste and service are still the same. We ordered fish in leaf with goat varathachatharu, chicken kochi special, and one chef recommended mutton made with green Chili paste. In bread, we ordered Malabar paratha and uppam they both were good as well. It's definitely worth visiting if you are around the area
