Its an amazing place to have some unique flavours of Kerala. We visited this place and had their Mutton Olathede with paratha which was just mind-blowing. You must try their other foods also. The interior is nice. Staffs are good.

Undoubtedly it is one of the best restaurants in Kolkata to serve South-Indian cuisine. The decoration and ambience is very good. We liked the way they served the food, earthen pots and banana-leaves made it even better. The quality of the food was good but not the quantity. Surely recommended.

Located at 22/1C, Deshapriya Park Rd, Dover Terrace, Kalighat, Kolkata, West Bengal 700029, Ammini restuarant is a food destination for South Indian food lovers. You can relish malabar porotta with chicken roast appam and mutton stew, dosa/idlis with sambhar and chutney variants. Cramped space, decorations reminding one of Kerala, few items on the menu with over pricing, sum up in few words about this place.

Wow really enjoyed the food. Ordered both veg and non veg which includes mutton & chicken both. Real authentic keralian taste with amazing variety. Will love to visit again. This is probably the only place in Kolkata which offer such delicacy.

Review №15

The menu has all south Indian Kerala dishes, but the taste I doubt it. Being a person from kerala, I assure you this is not the real taste of Kerala you are looking for. Moreover the menu is highly priced, one Malabar porotta costing Rs.110/- (A porotta in Kerala costs Rs.10 to 20) and the porotta served was sweet. We ordered the chicken roast that cost Rs. 250/- which was served in a small bowl and had five small pieces of chicken. I even doubt the food was heated in a microwave and served to us. It was a one time visit for me with a very negative experience. I dont think I will visit the restaurant again. Two stars I give for the interiors and good ambience. You dont get any worth of the money you spend here.

Review №23

I keep on returning to this place once in a while, a definite hub to relish the legendary Keralan cuisine. Well maintained joint manned by courteous staff, Ammini will live up to both your gastronomic & ambient hunger. Mutton Ollethede is a MUST try, even for people who are non vegetarian, yet avoid red meat. Have a glass of butter milk to wash down the spices after the hearty meal.The earthen glasses & banana leaf plates are just added cuteness. The menu is slightly hefty on the wallet, but definitely worth every penny!!Go out on a date or with family, or just go alone, this place to oils cater every heart.

Review №36

A must visit for all who like Kerela cuisine or want to get a taste of it. Visited the place during Durga Puja this year. Even though the place isnt that big enough but still a little wait can be rewarding since the food there is extremely good. It is a bit different and that makes it quite unique. For instance, the Masala Dosa we had was extremely good in taste. So much so that it prompted us to order for other dishes. Would definitely like to visit again.

Review №37

Good ambience. Excellent plating, food served on real banana leaves, not the in-vogue fake ones. Taste is great. Appams and Fish in banana leaf were very good. Loved it. Would suggest the place those who like to experiment with food and can manage the slightly sour taste in everything :-)

I will never suggest this restaurant to Keralites. I really got disappointed after having dinner from this restaurant .Food is exhorbinantly high and the portions are very less.The quality of food is compromised and was not up to the mark. Ambience and overall feel about the restaurant was quite good. But as a destination to indulge yourself tosome authentic Kerala cuisine,this place is not worth your money.

I was a big fan of Ammini food. But my last order has completely changed that perspective. The dishes were extremely overpriced & the quality-quantity was just pathetic. Dont react to my reaction on the price as this wasnt my 1st time. Have been to their restaurant couple of times but this time the quantity & quality didnt justify its price. Extremely disappointed with Ammini & probably it was my last order/visit.

Review №47

Wrong address in google. The restaurant exists in Ballygunje and not in Nova Park. MIG B-15, Niva Park Phase 3, Bramhapur, Kolkata, West Bengal 700096 is a residential building where a Malayali family resides. .Not sure if people residing are aware of this.About Ballygunje Ammini restaurant, food is authentic Kerala cuisine but over priced. An appam costs you Rs 60, one small glass of Payasam costs you Rs 190.Coffee costs you Rs 90. Overall expensive and comes to Rs 2000 for 2 persons. Nothing much about ambience or anything covers the price. Limited seating area. 4 star for food quality but over priced.

Ammu I was a restaurant I lov d to visit in the pre - COVID days , so we went there yesterday with friends , & was really disappointed. The staff was as pleasant & courteous as ever , but the quality of food is not worth mentioning. Although we were there by 8.15 , we were told the chicken Josi curry was over, but they offered to make it . As expected, it was tasteless:( - it was literally pieces of boiled chicken in gravy . The dry mutton dish was all bone & no meat ! So the bill of ₹1300 was not a pleasant surprise ! Immediate attention called for .

Ammini is undoubtedly THE BEST MALAYALI food place in town. Not only the flavour but also you can feel the culture of Kerala inside the cafe. The Banana leaf, clay glasses and the hospitality may take you to Keral.Coming to the food, We had,Ghee DosaPodi IdliMalabar ParathaMutton OlathedeAppam and Potato StewUniappamPayasamWe started our meal with Ghee Dosa and it went perfect with potato and two coconut(normal and spicy) chutneys. One thing to mention, their Sambar is not typical watery one, it has some thickness in it and indeed the flavors. A great start of the meal.Then comes the SHOWSTOPPER Podi Idli, it is the best idli that I have in recent times. It was so soft that it melted in our mouth, it got a reach GHEE flavour and texture from the spices. A must have in Ammini.We then had the classic Malabar Paratha and Mutton Olathede combo. The parathas were flaky and it went perfectly with the mutton. Coming the mutton, the pieces were soft, succulent and the dry roast was mesmerizing. Water came in my mouth while writing the reiew.The manager was so kind that they served a complimentary Appam and Potato stew. One of the best veg food I have ever tried. Soft and flaky appam and starchy potato stew was a perfect combination. A must try for all the vegetarians out there.Last but not the least the Desserts.!! Uniappam and payasam both were good on their own. Soft and hot uniappam was not that sweet which made it more tasty. You can taste the banana in it and the payasam was thick and you can taste the roasted coconut. It was a perfect ending of the meal.Overal I must say, It was a great great experience, we enjoyed alot. My final rating.Food- 5/5Service- 5/5Value for Money- 4/5Overall Experience- 5/5Follow us on Instagram @tripsntreats01Subscribe us on youtube TripsnTreats.

Restaurant is in very small place and limited no.of seats.This is not the place to taste the real Kerala foods as assumed before visiting.The cost is really high when compared with the items they serve. So I would need prefer to take food as there is no value for the money that we pay.

Review №64

Kolkata basically being a foodie destination, there are innumerous cuisines and styles to explore.To indulge your taste buds to some kerala cuisine,Ammini restaurant can be an option.Despite being cramped up in a tiny place,one thing to be appreciated is that the restaurant has included many elements like mural paintings,and kerala utensils etc which brings a glimpse about a Keralian ambience.I would say this restaurant can be a starter for people who are willing to try some Kerala dishes or at least get a feel about how kerala cuisine would taste like. Non malayalis would really appreciate this place for their Keralian appetite. Though the dishes are few,one can experience classic combos like Malabar Porotta with Chicken Roast Appam and Mutton Stew, Dosa/Idlis with Sambhar and Chutney variants. And that pretty much sums up the things which they do offer, which is not everything about Kerala food.Kerala is a place where you inarguably encounter a myriad of styles and variety of dishes and the variances of them differing from northern Kerala to Southern Kerala. For example Avial, a simple vegetarian dish has different presentations in different parts of Kerala. Similarly, this treatment happens to other vegetarian and non Vegetarian dishes too. So to include more options and dishes could be a humble suggestion, because Kerala has soo much to offer to a non malayali or to a foodie when it comes to food.Now,to a typical malayali or an average malayali foodie,This cannot become the place to come and cater your uncontrollable craving to have some Kerala food.Why? Just Simply because a usual combo of 2 porotta and a Chicken roast is pretty exhorbitant.Trust me way too high from the usual amount you give back home.Despite that, when you are willing to go for it, because you soo wana have some Kerala food to reach your belly the portions given here are exiguous.But then, Rich Mallus please be their guests.

Taste of food is good. But when we order through swiggy, these people are packing only 50% items and trying to cheat us. Many times I have suffered. Very indecent habit, in such a quality restaurant. For example, instead of three idlies, they pack only two. In meals , they purposely miss curd, sweet, papad etc.Very worst experience, I had.

If you dont know much about keralian food, this place would be a good place to start.The food tastes very good. The people are extremely helpful. For a first timer, they come and explain every food and help you choose.Only problem I had was, the food portions were a little less than we expected.But if you want tasty, light, fluffy, easy to digest food.... This is definitely for you.
