A decent place to get absolute Kerala food. I have tried it for the first time and I liked all the items we have ordered except the Alleppey fish curry; not a fan of fish curry anyway. I am going to visit the place some time soon again to try out more dishes.

Loved the taste of authentic kerala food. Good customer service even though there is bit of a delay for your order to be served.

The highlight of this place is the Pomphret (Avioli) fish, which is the most popular fish in Mumbai and most of Maharashtra. This deliciously flavoursome fresh water fish is a rarity in the UK. Ive visited this restaurant a number of times. But I travelled as much as 2.5 hours on this occasion just to eat fried pomphret, and it was worth it!! The hygiene, service, etc are just about alright here. But the taste of the food and its authenticity makes up for everything. Try it out, n youll know what I mean!

Allepey fish curry was very good over there with a combination of Puttu. Today I had also an experience where in when I have ordered for 1 tea it was not served to me stating its not available and later on I could see the same Tea was served to a group of 7 when they ordered .I have checked the same with the person at the counter while paying my bill and his response was Tea will be served only during certain times.I dont understand what is this certain time means is it because I ordered only 1 tea and they dont want to make since it was only 1 and the other group ordered 7 and dont want to serve for a customer who ordered one .Then I have to go with lime juice which they told its available.I think all the customer should be treated in the same way .I would like to give a rating for 4 for the food which was great at this restaurant

Good quality food with a 5 star food hygiene rating. I am vegan and they said the appam contains egg. But they were kind enough to make the appam without egg for me.

I had a really tasty vegetarian meal, simple but very nice. Will visit again to try something else.

Quality food, avoid the fried rice but everything else is really nice. If you are in a hurry, then I’m afraid this may not be the place as most of the food gets prepared fresh after you order

This restaurant was very good before. But recent experiences were not satisfactory

One of the worst restaurants that I have visited. I couldnt distinguish the people, between customers and staffs in that restaurant. I assumed that the guy who came out of the till may be the staff. I raised my hand to place an order. He didnt pay attention and the way he behaved wasnt a good behaviour for a restaurant business. Toilet was very narrow and hand washing area was also not clean. Food also not tasty. Not a friendly service. Apart from a small area, the items which were delivered were left in 2 or 3 tables. I was totally disappointed.

It was okay experience for us, we have initially tried take way of mutton roast which was good but this time we tried dine in and ordered chicken roast which was not great, chicken pieces served were quite stiff and felt taste to be Chinese than authentic Kerala which we were looking for.Staff is quite cheerful and accommodating though.

Just ordinary, usual south Indian food. Service can be really late if busy because there were only two guys serving everyone when all tables were taken!Just order the usual items, like dosa etc., if you want your food quick and price will be reasonable.Any items out of ordinary i.e. beef fry, would be pricey and not good value for money, one small portion would cost you a tenner.Worth visit a second time? I guess NOT!

Food is good, but staff are not welcoming new customer as they have usual existing customer. No smile on anyone face dont know why, staffs are just nodding head if we order any further ☺️.

The food was delicious. And price was also affordable.Service was not that perfect.

This review is related to the recent Onam Sadhya they served. We went here after reading the reviews.It was one of the most awful dining experience Ive had. For starters the restaurant was filthy. The food served was lying open in pots that were chucked on the dirty floor with food dripping out onto the floor. The food was cold but tasted ok. My family and I suffered from severe food poisoning. Definitely a place to avoid!

Delicious food & good size portions. Excellent value! Was very happy to see so many vegetarian dishes on the menu. My favourite was plain dosa with spicy mushrooms. They also asked us at the point of order how spicy would we like our food, which was a sign of freshness. 2 beers to choose from: Kingfisher & Cobra. Friendly, helpful & efficient staff.The decor was basic & the lights could benefit from improvement, as it was ridiculously bright. Also the TV screen at the back was a constant destruction from enjoying our conversation with friends.

Great tasting food but wait times too long. Need another waiter and please clean the floors near to the back of the restaurant, very slippery.The fried fish though is unbelievable 😋

Food here is normally good, their nadan chicken fry is good. But this time we went for masala dosa and the chutney provided was not good at all. When asked for some gravy to go with the paratha, they said “ it’s being heated”- which ? Left over from previous day ? Biriyani was swimming in oil/ghee. I was quite disappointed that I this wasn’t how their food use to be.

A taste of home!I havent eaten Kerala food in 2 years, since my folks moved back home. Also, living in Kent, a not so multicultural area, has made this an even more difficult task.The food here is absolutely out of this world. We had beef fry, mutton curry, poratha, rice and chicken curry. All of it was cooked to perfection.I have given 4 stars as the bill for 3 adults and one child came to just under £100, which we felt was slightly more than the portions received.If you want authentic South Indian food, visit Ananthapuram. You wont be disappointed.

I have been here a few times. Its a simple Kerala(south Indian) restaurant. They do authentic dishes. I was disappointed with the recent Onam sadhya. At £17 a pop it didnt taste very fresh. I am only referring to the Onam sadhya that happens once a year and not that the food is not fresh on a daily basis.

We ordered porrota , beef ullathith (small) and king fish fry. Food was fresh , and service was really good. The beef tasted really good and fish was okay . Porrota is really big and flaky as well tasted good. Overload experience was good .

Very interesting experience. We walked in to an empty restaurant but guess we were early.We waited quite a long time to be served, one position that we ordered was not available but other than that everything was fresh and Delicious. Also great price value.The only inconvenience was unpleasant restroom.

The food is decent. Some of it is really good, some just about ok. The fish dishes I feel are a little stale and thr fish maybe a little too old.

Nice restaurant. Have a great variety of Kerala foods.

Messy Onam meal -staff who missed items of my plate . Needs better organisation.

Biriyani is a generous serving size English can feed two. It was quite tasty as well. Unfortunately they ran out of Kothu rotti which was dissapointing. Friendly staff and owner. They should take more care in cleaning the tables before seating people.

Dishonest PeopleWe took a takeaway and they missed a big item in the takeaway. Called asking to give my money back to my credit card.. they said I either have to come back to the restaurant or asking for personal bank details. it has been more than 2 weeks of chasing them to give my money back but no luck.

The exact Kerala dishes with taste of Ananthapuri.

They offer variety of south Indian foods

South Indian Chicken Biriyani is delicious.My favourite is Kerala Poratha and chilli chicken semi gravy must try.All is Hot and Spicy.

Good authentic kerala style food! Good service and affordable.

Cramped seat settings, only one waiter servicing about 7 tables. Food is good.

Authentic flavour taste was too good.

Great quanity and authentic kerala food. The beef dry fry is a must have

Felt like a walk down memory lane. If you’re a Mallu who truly enjoys Kerala food, you will absolutely love this place. BDF and kappa meen curry - the best. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Kerala Barletta and kerala chicken fry. Super only reason to go eastham is to buy this from here chicken fried rice. Another one to try also beef fry

Ay man, Im a sucker for keralite food, and this place provides keralite food

The food was nice and there was good service.

Tasty kerala food with value for money portions

Wide verity of tasty kerala food with excellent quality and quantity

Last night had a feast in Anathapuram , was brilliant. Very authentic Kerala food and also South Indian.Samuel

Appearances are deceptive at this local small Kerelan eaterie. Do not be fooled though, the food here is serious business. Often it will appear empty but youll soon see people show up collecting take away bags in droves and it is easy to see why. The full Nadan chicken (otherwise you wont get the crispy onion topping which is enhances this dish tenfold) is a must as is any of the dosa / roasts. Inexpensive, a family of four can eat here for under £30. Worth a visit if you are around the area (East Ham, London)

Such a delicious..Loved a lot🤤from #Scotland

Nice place for Kerala food

Ananthapuram serves one of the more tastier and most authentic Kerala dishes I have had.. their oonu aka the traditional malayali afternoon meal is a delight, as are their porottas and most of their curries.. the only dishes I didnt feel were as tasty as the ones we get in Kerala were the Indo-Chinese dishes like chilli chicken and gopi manchurian.Food is not very expensive.. Ive uploaded the pic of a bill of a huge meal we had which will give a better idea of the prices. The staff are polite and the service is quite good.One thing I wish they could improve would be their handwash and toilet area.. the handwash area is too small for even 2 people to stand together comfortably, and the single toilet is situated just off this area, which makes it very congested if both the facilities are being used together.. the toilet is also extremely small and not particularly the cleanest.. women may have some difficulty using it.Overall, the food is authentic and most of the dishes excellent if you are in the mood for a spicy, tasty Kerala meal..

We love eating here. The food can take its time to come, but we think that it is worth the wait. The service varies and can be good at times and at other times slightly frustrating. But the fact we keep returning tells just how good we think it is.

Came from southall to purchase food for my family and my cousins, spent £75 on porotta and nadan chicken fry. Awfully packed and awful quantity. I was given shredded porotaa, as if it was waste. Beef fry large is not really large poor quantity. Will tell my friends and family to avoid at all cost!

Awesome south Indian food served with a workmanlike practicality in an ambience punctuated by stacked boxes of bananas, sacks of onions and pumpkins. We has the mutton curry, masala dosa and vegetable korma. The sauces from the curry and korma were delicious in a way you will never understand until you eat here. The price is right and the food is divine.

Good Kerala style food

Great sea food..... Needs a little more of space

Just ok... Expected a lot and couple of dishes were disappointing

Satisfying and filling food + value for money.

Tasty steamed fish and beef fry....loved it

Over priced, low quality and quantity food

Tasty Kerala foods

One of the greatest thali i have ever had ... 😙

Not for Kerala people!

Really bad food, poratta was very thick And wasn’t soft at all, they put too much pepper in the beef curry, briyani was pathetic, we got food poisoning from their food.

Food actually very good, so 5 stars for that, but difficult to recommend eating there, as the service is completely inadequate: far too much of the menu was unavailable - a frustrating experience for both customer and waiter. Additionally, our waiter was completely disinterested, potentially due to being overworked (he seemed to be the only one serving the entire restaurant). He omitted to take much of the order, and even left out some of the order that he did take. We werent even provided with enough crockery or cutlery - three plates to share amongst a group of four! To clarify, I almost certainly would go back, but for takeaway only, as eating there was far too much of a stressful experience, and can in no way be described as enjoyable.

Very very disappointed today, the person who served food had an attitude.We went as two people.OrderedNethili fry - was okay2 paratta - very oily -Beef fry large - not really large portion, the guy served it cold, which supposed to be hot, i requested him to make it warm, he quicky went to microwave and brought it back to me in 30 secondsNadan Rice - was okayChicken Gravy- it never came till we finished , when we said we will cancel, he never had courtesy to apologise. And he said okay cancelled.Very very very disappointed experienceAlso 60 percent of the food in the menu was not available

Very tasty food. Clean and friendly atmosphere..

A decent Kerala restaurant and the service is good.

Lovely pal aaappam - goood food - parotta n egg biryani brilliantly done

Its Kerala food in Name...but my view need much more standard of the karala cusine not much spicy.....though ok food but bit Pricy though .....cant be regular for that price margines.....taste should be bit more improved.

As we 13 friends had dinner on 28/08/20 for approximately 140 pounds, we were their last customers. The next day all of us were affected by food poison and it troubled us whole day at work too. We called the restaurant management and informed about this and they noted down my number and promised me that their owner will contact us. But after 2 days there was no words received from them. For these peoples they dont care about health and hygiene(money matters for them that have shown us). If they have contacted back then it would have been better. They have treated us very badly, I am sure that none of my friends or family member will visit there in future. I would warn anyone closer about such unhygienic restaurant.

Food was excellent and so were the staff.The facilities were inadequate.

Very great place to taste Kerala cuisine worth to visit

They do have excellent service and serving delicious food. I recommend this place as a wonderful place to dine in.

Worst food we had food poison due to there food. I recommend not to eat any food from there. If council people see this review pls take action.

I have been to Ananthapuran restaurant in East Ham plenty of times. The location is very convenient - just a minute’s walk from the East Ham Underground station. The ambience, decor and service are very average - nothing to write about. However, what this place lacks in ambience and decor, it makes up by serving authentic tasty and spicy South Indian delicacies. The prices are quite reasonable as well. I am a big fan of their fish pollichathu - it usually takes around 25-30 minutes to prepare, but it is definitely worth the wait.

Its very good tasty food @ananthapuram eastham and good customer service.

Excellent customer manager and service. Great food!

Nice food

Excellent customer service,tasty traditional kerala dishes.must visit here 👍

Authentic Kerala Dishes in London.

Really great Keralan food.

Good food and worth the value. Meals is really good.

Simply delicious foods.Mutton biryani was was delicious 9 out 10.Service was very poor waiting cutlery, napkins etc, so I rate them 4 out of 10.Seating was very crowded, suggest reduce 1 or 2 table comfortable seating

A place where you can get authentic Kerala food. Super delicious and everything reminds us of the Gods own country. Possibly crowded on festive occasions, otherwise you can have a tasty food and relaxing experience.

Good tasty food and friendly staff. Their Kerala rice lunch with fish curry is really good. I liked it very much because they use red rice and not the white ones. The only downside I found was the ambience at the dining area which was very poor.

A friend originally from Kerala recommended this restaurant and we were not disappointed. The restaurant itself is quite small, but the food and service were great. We indulged in Dosas, and I had a most delicious fish molly! Would recommend to anyone that like south-Indian food. Beware, is authentic cuisine, so it can be a bit hot. They have a small selection of beers and spirits. The quality of the food is great, and the price is more than fair. I cannot believe this restaurant wasn’t listed on Tripdavisor. Very tempted to not say anything so that this place can remain a gem!

A lovely South Indian restaurant. Great food. Predominantly locsn South Indian customers. Place was absolutely packing and buzzing.

Very disappointed. The dishes we ordered were very greasy and had oil dripping. We required tissues on the side to drain the oil. The fish had a bad smell and we complain to the boy who told us this is how it is always. It was old fish for sure. Will never visit again

Really good food... Its an authentic Kerala style food. Fish curry meal is really worth the money. Affordable price..

Good Food, but the facilities can be better.

Tasty food and reasonable cost..

Food was substandard. Coconut chutney was really bad. Filter coffee was terrible.

Fantastic south Indian food. Great prices, friendly staff, vegan friendly. Love this place.

Taste of the foods are not like before.Totally dissappointed,nowadays portions are also very less.I order Beef Ulathiyath but i got meat very less and mostly onions and tomatoes.

South Indian food is good and responable price

Best place to try all traditional dishes ... Dont miss the fish fry. Its awesome

Located just a stone throw away from the East Ham station, Ananthapuram is one decent place to have Kerala food.I have had a variety of dishes, however “Nadan Chiken Fry “ is my favourite. In fact that’s the only dish I order now.It’s cooked with the proper Kerala flavours infused.(curry leaves, pepper etc) I would recommend this dish over anything else.(Nadan Chicken fry - 5/5 )Hats off to the Chef !Lastly hit the like if find my review helpful. Thanks

Beef fry was not good . Too much coating of masala. Porotta size is big. Sometimes old people will sit in groups and argue loudly spoiling the atmosphere

It a good mayalayali hotel here all type of kerala food available

One of the worst restsurants you will ever visit. I was told my take away would be ready in 20 minutes. When I turned up at 20 minutes they casually told the food will be ready soon and made me wait for another 40 minutes. They did not ecen say a SORRY for being late. Such was the arrogance of the staff. Also they only prefer CASH PAYMENTS over card the reason for which God only knows.Beware of this restaurant.

Brilliant place for authentic kerala food. The beef fry is a work of art. Place can get extremely crowded, so pick the time - 12 to 1 seems fairly ok

Had a meal there. Everything was good except curry which was too spicy, dark red and full of chilly powder. Rest everything fine.

Bit costly

We went to Ananthapuram Restaurant in East Ham for a late lunch. We ordered a plate of plain Appam and a portion of Fish 65. The taste was authentic - hot and spicy fish with lots of green chillies and curry leaves. The ‘jeera water’ was very refreshing as well(and it’s free - so even better). All this cost us a ‘tenner’ which I think is reasonable. Loved the food. The ambience was modest. Overall, good value for money, mainly because of the authentic taste and the very reasonable price. The location is also very convenient - just next to the Mahalakshmi Temple and 1 minute walk from the East Ham Tube Station.

The food authenticity was below average, even had to return one dish. Porotta and aavoli fry were okay but biryani, dosa and curry were pathetic. They need to change the chef to make a positive change.
