I find the love and admiration towards #keralacuisine growing leaps and bounds across people from different communities and cultures. Coastal cuisines are tasty, sumptuous and if prepared well, leave you with a lingering feeling of satisfaction level - Cloud 9!Ive know of #keralacafe and the good North and South Malabar cuisine that they prepare. Priced a little steep as compared to other hotels, but rest assured, their afternoon meals and special Kerala meat preparations are fantastic. Not to forget, their insistence of using plantain leafs, fresh ingredients and condiments, make their dishes worth exploring and indulging into.Also, my pseudo Malayali side, yearns for a spread of deliciousness from Gods Own Country - #devathindeswanthamnadu once in a while.Inset, some good specials -Kerala #mutton #pepperfry with soft #appams, the special chilli lime kulukki (Lime and Chilli Sherbet) and an enjoyable appetizer of Garlic Fry #prawns 🍹😋👍Thanks for a wonderful experience, Kerala Cafe, #hinjawadi #pune 🙏🙌🔥#foodmakesmehappy #coastalfood #malabar #malabarfood #keralagram #foodgram #foodforfoodies #goodfood #cuisinesofindia #indiafood #seafood #muttonlover #meatcurry #enjoyfood 😌

One of the hidden gem. This restaurant has a lot of positive reviews. We went here for lunch. The menu strictly comprises of South Indian cuisine. The ambience is lovely. The staff is super friendly. We ordered a started and the taste was too good. The main course which comprised of a veg meal and chicken meal was strictly average for the price. They also have valet parking for convenience of the customers. Do visit once if you wanna tingle your taste buds with South Indian delicacies 😊

The place is good. Went for lunch and had Kerala veg meal. The atmosphere and the service is too good. The things I didnt like, the food and the price.The price is too high and the food is not that great compared to the price. The place sounds Kerala and the food also looks like that but taste wise had to compromise

I visited Kerala cafe recently... It was my first visit... They have lot of options into menu card.. I ordered egg thali & chicken thali ... It was very nice experience.. Food was also tasty.. I ordered parotta also.. It was also very good.. Overall my experience with Kerala cafe nice..

The experience is nice...many new dishes to try and the South Indian flavor is really nice. Only thing that lacks is quantity of food. Parotthas are really must try.

Review №12

I liked the cafe. Its really a good resturant. There is a good atmosphere inside the cafe. And their services also are best. So i can give 5star for the services and all but the only problem is rate is high.. i paid 350rs for a biriyany that is too high.

The day this place opened in Hinjewadi, it was added to my wishlist. I visited this place recently for lunch and was gutted to find it so bad!The only good thing about this place was the interiors. The way they have brought ambience of traditional Kerala looks nice.Coming to the food, we ordered Mutton Ghee Roast, Honey Chilli Potato, Veg Meal and Bamboo Chicken Biryani. The mutton was okayish, had a lot of expectations but I must say I have a lot better Ghee Roast than this one. It looked great, but the mutton was probably not goat meat, and also, it was not spicy enough to be called ghee roast. Honey chilli potato was pathetic and way too sweet! The veg meal was above average. Payasam was very delicious though. The biggest let down was their Bamboo Chicken Biryani! It tasted so bad that we had to throw away half of it. The presentation was good (instagrammable as people say), but it turned out to be an all-show-no-taste dish. The staff was very nice and courteous.I would definitely not recommend this place to anyone!

Nice ambience, not big restaurant. Place you can find flavors of Kerala. One can also have spicy starters, main course too here. We ordered one starter which was average in taste. In main course we ordered paneeer masala having flavor of coconut milk in it which tastes nice. Dessert we had paysam( kheer kind) this was the best. Overall it was average.

The ambience of the place was really nice.They have made the whole place feel more familiar to the Malayalees out there.We ordered a Non-Veg Thali for 270/- per head.The food was really good and wholesome.Taste was very similar to home cooked food. Also, they served the food on a banana leaf which was *unlimited*.Even the dessert Payasam was unlimited.So after completing all your meal, you can just relax in the sit out area for the food to settle down.My opinion :A little high on price but worth the money spent.

Kerala Cafe is built on the vision of reclaiming traditional kerala food for a new generation, bringing the Gods own Countrys hidden culinary gems to light.Currently, due to COVID-19 everyone is worried about choosing the right restaurant to have food. You all can trust Kerala Cafe in terms of service, quality, quantity and safety standards.Highly recommended!!Im also sharing their photos of special Freedom Thali as of Independence day 2020.

This is not aunthetic kerala food. Patheric service..Very leas Quantity food and very costly compared to quantity. One dish of sabji (Rs 290) is only sufficient to 1 person. Food quality and taste also is not good.Dont visit if you are good eater.Instead of visiting here go for any fast food center or roadside chat stall.Completely unsatisfaction with lots frustration after visiting here today.Not value for money..

It was an amazing place with great food.We had the veg meal and it was the best meal I have had in Pune.The food is so simple and good and healthy.A treat for all vegetarian people.It has all components of a full meal salty sweet sour and bitter.And all things come together so well.A must for all malayalees missing kerala food.After our meal we had filter coffee which was the best coffee I had ever had.It wad very tasty.All in all best cuisine and best meal for rs 190.Also you get special jeeragam vellam served here which is also very healthy and looks great too.

The worst food I ever had. I have ordered chicken biryani, first they have served with wrong order and then they took about 20mins to serve my order and the chicken pieces hasnt been cooked properly, even the blood hasnt cleaned properly.I paid the bill and left the place without having food.I dont recommend this place.

The infrastructure is beautiful.. Peaceful environment.. Quality of taste is best... I visited this place on my birthday.. and this place is specially for non vegetarian. Had a happy experience.. I am pure veg although from the taste of veg food I tasted there I could say the quality of food is well maintained.

I had visited Hinjewadi phase 1 unit of Kerala Cafe. The vibes inside the cafe makes you feel good. It lightens your mood. The time at the cafe was spent well. If you are a non vegetarian lover, then this is one of the places that you should visiting. Although, this time couldnt get mutton as it was exhausted.Moreever you get authentic Kerala style foods. However, the price points are marginally on the higher side.Food-5/5Cleanliness-5/5Ambience-5/5Price-4/5Washroom Facilities-3.5/5Location-4/5I was happy about the overall visit and had a good experience.

I want to post my review in terms of both self pick up and food quality.Self pick up review: I went there for self pickup. Intitally they took about 35 to 40 mins to pack the order and giving priority to online deliveries. I keep waiting and in front I saw that 4 online pick up boys collected orders who came after 10 mins of my order.Food quality: I ordered Chicken Thallashery Biriyani for self pick up. I ordered the same earlier via online delivery options in which I received the order within 25 mins and also the food quality was really awesome. Based on the same experience I ordered it again at restaurant. When I came back at home and opened up the parcel the food quality was very very poor, rice seems to be overcooked and throws out some bad smell from it. Even I am not able to mix the rice well. One of the ever worst Biriyani I had in my life. I am not sure why it happened because as per my online experience it was good and they also be take care for feedback it seems which will not happen in case of self pickup.I will never order again from this restaurant.

Had head quite a bit about this place so headed to their outlet in Hinjewadi.... Service was pleasantly quite good.The food also tastes quite good with special mention for Mushroom starter and Chicken curry in the meal. Just the thing that was off putting was that the sambar and rassam served werent piping hot as they should be...they were like warm at best. Would visit this place again just for the variety of curries that this place has to offer.

When you long for a typical Kerala lunch, this is the place to go in Wakad, Hinjewadi area. Though price is a bit on the higher side, food preparations are good and authentic.
