Good was great! Veg Meals was good and it was not expensive too. And prices were really nominal. Worth for the money. Place was clean and neat too.

Stale food. I ordered beef dish through Swiggy and they sent me stale smelly food. I called the restaurant and they were like food here is good. Quite possible,may be the left over food from yesterday got over with my delivery. This has happened before too. Not cool at all.

I have ordered their onam sadhya after seeing all the hypes on the internet , but it is a waste of money.. They gave spoiled rice in the package. and no action has been taken care by them till now even after complaining to their branch Manager Mr Vinoth and its very surprising to see that he is irresponsible and least bothered to pay attentionSuch a nasty experience ever on the auspicious day . Their employees look so shabby and pathetic cleanliness maintained. So be alert and do not waste your money ,adding photos for your reference.

Nothing to be mentioned here when you all might already know Kumarakom is one of the best we have in Chennai for Kerala food..Their fish and beef items are out marked by any restaurant in Chennai. Karimeen tawa fry, kappa with fish curry, beef roast are their must try items ..

It is located in Kodambakkam High road in the Nungambakkam area. Opposite to KFC and brside the Cake shop. They have parking in the front space of the restaurant. A very quiet, decent place with good interior. Wooden table and chairs, dim lights, souvenir, tried to give a Kerela touch as the name of the restaurant suggests. The only drawback is the Restroom. It can be much better with proper doors and hygiene protocols. Disappointed.Lets come to food part. Serves Kerelian cuisine. So if u love food cooked in kerelian style then do visit this place. They have many options in the menu card,I chose to have 1. Puttu with chicken curry. It was so tasty food served. Puttu was so fresh and hot. Even the chicken gravy was yummy. Recommend to try this combo.2. Fish Tawa Fry. They have a size cart along with prices. Fish was fresh and juicy. It was prepared perfectly with good amount of spices.Very reasonable price with good food quality and quantity. I enjoyed the place.

Malabar biriyani was like chicken kurma rice. Could have been like biriyani. Taste and qty was good. Too much cost. Chicken lollypop was good but salt wasnt properly mixed.

No many varaities available... Kerala foods are good.

Food was okay,I ordered ghee rice, but got it like a pulao/North Indian style with long rice,The fish curry had a bit more of tamarind and it had a bitter after-taste.Most importantly, the restaurant was warm inside(no air-conditioning) and couldnt enjoy my meal as expected. May be my expectation was high or wrong.

We had the traditional meal, tasted good. Not sure if it is due to the Covid restrictions, service was slow and poor communication.Karimeen polichathu was inconsistent. Somehow did not taste the way it used to regularly taste.Still rating them better as I believe this was just a one off experience

Review №13

Ambience is good.. Courtegeous staffs..Clean tables..Then whats wrong...Wait..Wait..The dish ..Really pathetic almost on all items that we have ordered... Kili paratta is worst and even one can get a good quality in a roadside shop itself...The appam that they served is worst of its kind and the batter was outdated and not fit to eat...The chicken pieces are exact replacement of rubber... Overall worst experience...Never visit this place if you want to taste quality food...

Meals is limited. even if extra rice ordered(rs 70), they dont provide poriyal or the curries. The curries are also limited, not enough.Beef is like rubber.. not worth the price

Traditional Kerala restaurant...Its One of the best Kerala restaurant in Chennai.Food menu are very unique style and u can find the authenticity of Kerala.Its included kids menus also.Restaurant have very good ambiance and the seating arrangement also good.Dining hall is very even but in peak hours and weekend u need to wait for sometime to dine there.Price of food are affordable and its worth the quality and the quantity of the food.For big group dining its a very good place.Service also very good and i enjoy it.

Review №28

Guys dont get cheated here. They dont serve authentic kerala taste. Ordered meals. Just got some kerala rice with basic 2.. 3 curries and was limited. Fish fry i ordered was instantly fried and the masala was raw. Never order chicken pepper fry which will look like a chinese dish and much lesser quantity. It was one of the worst kerala restaurant i ever visited. I even doubt that whether they have a kerala cook.

If you are into authentic kerala cuisine, then this is a must place. The nonveg dishes here tastes really good and even the prices are reasonable except for some of them.

Kumarakom used to be a good Kerala restaurant before lock down but sadly now, the food quality is not worth for the money.

Review №31

Paratto with Beef Fry should be the good combination. Fish is not good. Price vs Product positioned too costly because of name. Reducing prize may attract more consumers.

Review №32

The restaurant is worst in terms of customer service , I didnt want any spicy dishes so I had asked for coconut milk or any other less spicy alternative which I was denied in a very rude, they claim to be a Kerala restaurant but they do not have any idea of what their favorite ingredients are or their warmth in terms of handling customers. Will never order from here again, will not recommend this restaurant even for my worst enemy.

Review №33

Ordered food through swiggy, Karimeen Pollichathu, literally the fish they provided for the cost they charged werent matching, for such a small fish, which was spice-less, salt-less, they charged 500/-.I am still wondering whether they sent the proper item. Basically, its expensive and cost they provide is way too much.

Ordered parotta with chicken curry. They delivered parotta with Kadala curry. Not worth for money... taste is not so good. Over prized for less quantity. Stingy behaviour..We may have to ask three to four times to get anything delivered while dinning in.

Good place for Kerala cuisine... The irachi items deserve special mention.The Kerala-meals experience is a bit inconsistent with side dishes changing on rotational basis and lunch only items get over in a hurry...Ambience is good. But a bit more in the field of fly control would be good say a few more of those zappers... Not that its a deal breaker....
