This one offers an amazing view with your meal. This restaurant is built on a pier with crows taking food from your plates if you are not attentive. Alligator fish swims through the waters besides your table. Food is fresh, although youll have to wait your wait as the food is prepared after youve ordered it. Seafood is very fresh as its caught locally and daily! Good experience.

One of the best Restaurant for Food and as well as sea view. Chicken noodles and Chilly Chicken were delicious.Overall ambience is nice. Good to visit with family and friends. Ample parking place so parking issues. They take approx 30-40 minutes to serve your order but its worth waiting till then and watching the sea. Must visit for food lovers when in Fort Kochi.

It was good in the spring of 2021. Bad now. We visited 26.09.2021. No beer, no cheese naan, no tiger prawns. Animals are also not allowed.

Quiet place for a dining out. Had a Kerala styled prawns dish with coconut and curry leaves wanting for more. Watch the ships and boats go past as you sip on yr favourite drink. Fast service and polite staff. Pocket friendly, cash and card both accepted.

Been here before and thr ambience is still good. The food cant be praised a lot though. However its location add to the charm of the place.Veg: Porotta and dal were good. However the chilly Gobi was not very good. It was mostly gravy and manchurian preparation.Non veg: Prawns and rice tried by friends were good according to themDrinks: The drinks are moderately prices and good

Good food, good ambience, when ordered food for 7, four got food after 45 minutes which was ok as we were warned about the delay, but the others had to wait till the first four finished having food, which as anyone can imagine threw off our party mood. But no concern of the staff

Great place and what a location for a perfect get out with family and friends. Choices of fishes available for purchase with made to order options. Nice beautiful scenery in the backdrop of sea. Simply amazing place to be. Great view can be enjoyed while having the food. Just one word to sum up everything B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L.

Entry from Hotel Seagull, recommended by friendly tuktuk driver who did not receive commissions for this particular recommendation (if you know, you know).Great waterfront views.Very tasty Keralan food - we had an absolute feast crab/prawns/squid. Delicious.Reasonable price for the food and service.Slower service comparably to other places in area, but hey were on holiday and were not in a rush.Definitely recommend checking this one out - its on the higher end of prices - we went all out for 2 and paid 1640 - 2 mains, 2 breads, 1 entree, 2 drinks, 1 rice, 1 dessert.

Fresh seafood and other local dishes. Hardly any vegetarian dishes available. Staff are friendly but very keen to get you out of the restaurant before they actually close. Lights were switched off and tables cleared before 11pm and the kitchen closed an hour before other competing restaurants.

This is the best restaurant in Fort Kochi. It overlooks the river. We ordered vegetable kurma, khozi chicken,vegetable rice pulavo and chappathi. All were delicious. The service was good and fast. We noted that the menue prices for the section that overlooks the water was slightly higher than the one for the other section  of the restaurant.  If you go in the weekend make sure to reserve as the place is packed. Amazing ambience with great service and good prices.

Very good ambience...lake front....best time to be there is after 5:30 evening....they serve only beer...we ordered for beef fry and chicken 65... but both was not up to the expectation ..... they are specialised in seafood....u can sit there and relax ... can see the sun set ...beautiful sceneries all over.....

Review №37

Great ambience by the sea I agree, but let me tell you a couple of things many people have not noticed.1. Did you know you have to pay 15% more to be seated near the sea side? For the same taste, service, tables and chair you have to pay a premium 15% extra. Why this double standards? I wouldnt have minded if they had the same pricing for the entire place even if it was 15% extra. But this is one of the weirdest rule I have ever seen in a restaurant.2. The food quality is below par, there is no absolute taste infact there is no absolute effort to make this better, this place attracts people only because they serve alcohol by the sea.

Excellent location, great beer and authentic preparations of kerala. Ate squid kerala Fry which was prepared in mouth-watering kerala red masala, a good quantity for two as a starter. Main course was tiger prawn chetty curry.. Slurrrrp my mouth is watering as I am typing!! They served this exquisite dish in a clay pot and the quantity is actually good for 3 if u have eaten 2 starters already. And the beer was fresh stock and perfectly chilled, what else does one want in life :)

Review №47

Horrible Experience...they could not even serve cold beer in a 35°C temperature....warm beer, no soft drinks, place is full of mosquitoes. Ordered Grilled Jumbo prawns (5 pieces) out of which 3 were medium size and 2 were normal small size. Chicken 65 was absolutely dry, rubbery and over cooked. This restaurant is just overhyped with no substance. Not recommended at all....go at your own risk.

Poor service and the food wasnt amazing either. But the ambiance is great and the view is amazing. The waiters were rude as they know theyll get other customers. So they gave us the pier side table at noon, in the hot sun, and charged us an extra 15% for it. Sad experience.

Decent meal- great for seafood and fish lovers but not for vegans nor vegetarians. Not too many options that are meat/fish/seafood-free. They have a huge beer list though and nice seaside views. You don’t really need fans bc the nighttime breeze is so lovely. This place is moderately priced too.

Review №71

The worst service I have seen in my life. I have been waiting here for the past 2 hours. And when I try to ask the staff here they dont even care. Wont even look back even when go directly and poke them. They have no idea of what is courtesy. Dont go here if you are hungry. If you want lunch then you have to reach here by morning and beg them that they take your order. And if you are really really lucky you might be able to see the worst food you have ever tasted, when you get ready to leave after you have exhausted you patience.

Getting more crowded, but still have the beautiful blackwater ambience. And most of the people are asking for premium brands such as Budweiser etc. But have only very low number of stocks of those.

One of the only bars we could find in Fort Kochi (its a restaurant serving alcohol but there is no pressure to buy food).

Review №84

Too hyped place. Food is not all that great. Only upside is the sunset deck, but you cannot view the sunset and one thing I discovered just after I paid the bill is that you have to pay 15% extra for beer if you sit on the sundeck (which is not mentioned anywhere and I doubt no one knows it). Fish is too expensive. Market price for seabass or baramundi is 600 per kilo but here it is 2400 (after preparation). Same applies to all other fishes. And Quantity is too little for the price we pay. But hospitality of staffs are way better than any other bar.

Food is not that great. Compared to other restaurants. View from the lake side parlour is worth for money.. Little overpriced as it is in fort kochi side. Toilets not good. Seagull has it name for many years, so people come to seagull, but service need to be improved. Not that great.. Photos are the view from seagull.. Only attraction is the lake side view, but after noon time it is really hot and humid

The location is nice. The service is just about ok. They messed up our order even when there only 2 tables occupied at that time. There are no alcoholic beverages served here except beer. That too, at 300+ for a 650ml bottle. It is a little too expensive because the only thing that draws you to the place is the location. The food is also equally expensive, but have to say that it was tasty. I understand their target clients are not the locals, but mostly travellers. So its ok. Not a good place to frequent for locals. Once in a while is ok.

It is a water side resto bar and has really nice ambiance ... good place to make conversation and catch up with old buddys.Cons would be that the rates are different if you want to sit at the seats on the pier (30% extra tax)... the rates are already on the expensive side. But it is kinda worth considering the view.

Visit Seegull for the fantastic view from the restaurant other than that, nothing much good about seagull. Over priced food and drinks, Below average food quality and the behaviour of staffs towards the customer is bad too.
