One good restaurant to have kerala cuisines.The taste was awesome and mouthwatering.I especially liked the parotta and chicken curry.You could find varieties of beef,chicken and fish here.Price was also not too high it is average.You will find it difficult to find the way to the restaurant since it is in the first floor and the stairway is narrow and is hindered by the nearby shops.

Food is avarage. You will get kerala food from here. Price is expensive as comparing with the facilities which they provided. You have to go through kitchen for handwash. I have tried chicken soup, porotta and beef curry and beef fry. Everything tastes avarage.

My usual order from Kerala restaurants are their parotta, beef roast or egg roast.... Never ordered from this restaurant so decided to tryMenu is very simple... Had many options to choose... They also have good combos... Their pricing is comparitively lower than other Kerala restaurants.... Ordered Kerala parrota and egg roast... This review is only based on these 2 dishes....Food arrived on time and the packing was good. The food was still hot which is very rare especially when you order food at home...Kerala parrota was soft and tender... It went extremely well with egg roast... I had ordered a wheat parrota also... It was okay.. became little chewy and hard...Will recommend this place if you want to have a decent meal and not spend a lot

Kalpaka is one of if not the best restaurants in India. Food was better than normal, and already is always perfect. Thank you for the wonderful experience and effort you put in your food. Not many restaurants savor the overall experience anymore, this is one of the classics.

The food tastes awesome.. Quality is excellent. You can try this restaurant which is cheap and best with quality and quantity as well. I liked dragon chicken especially. Give a try... Its worth to go. The only thing I didnt like is sometimes they delay the food rest is all good.

Place is clean but customer walking is less in the restaurant and also food preparation is making delay by staffs and to serve by inviting customers walking.. Need to improve lots more @ restaurant place.

Just okay type food. But very high pricing. For just one veg meal+fish fry bill amount was 250. But the food is not worth that amount. I could have lunch from a premium restaurant at this price.Food - 3 starPrice - 1 starService - 4 starOverall 2.7 star only.

One of my friend suggested that this place serves the best beef dish. So we headed straight to this place to try it. Its a quite restaurant can seat to a maximum of 20. Beef was fantastic, as my friend said. It was a dry dish. I was absolutely amazed to see the tenderness and infusion spices in the meat. I myself finished the entire portion, it was that good.

This ones a favourite for more than 10 years for many who love third Parotta and beef curry. Be sure to try third authentic kerala food and meals. Its a small and average place with no parking. Youll feel lucky to find a spot on the road at times. Taste is really good and is worth your pocket . Dont miss this place if you have not tried so far.

Got beef fry and fish fry. Beef was great. Fish is stale. Maybe not preserved properly or fish is that old. For RS 120 for Ayila asking for a fresh fish is not a big ask. Hope they fix it soon.

It is a place located in the main area of the Chennai. It is a small place with good ambience. Here you can get typical Kerala dishes cooked in Kerala style. The signature dish here is the fish. Also parotta is also awesome and biriyani too. Definitely you can come here with friends and family for a nice lunch and dinner.

My usual order from any Kerala restaurant will be beef curry and seafoods . I tried this kalpaka restaurant this time ... I ordered parotta with beef curry and a propmrhet fish fry . It was delicious and price worthy . They had lot of combos on the menu . Service was also good with well maintained interiors and clean atmosphere. Comparing to other Kerala restaurants this one comes under must try category for its low pricing and delicious foods with Lott of combo options .
