Ente Keralam - Poes Garden

"Ente Keralam, Poes Garden A great place to enjoy authentic Kerala cuisine in Chennai. The food truly captures traditional flavours — the sadhya was excellent and tasted very close to home-style cooking. Ingredients felt fresh and the spice balance was spot on. The ambience is calm and tastefully done with subtle Kerala décor, making it ideal for family dining. Staff were courteous and helpful, patiently explaining the dishes and serving with a smile. Portions are generous and the overall experience is satisfying, though prices are slightly on the higher side. Highly recommended for anyone craving genuine Kerala food, especially for a relaxed family meal or festive dining."

"Hello Google users, We visited this place for lunch on a Sunday. The whole experience was amazing as the place had a cozy ambience with prompt service by friendly staff. We had the Kerala Special Weekend Sadhya for mains and the Paruppu Vada for starters. The Thali was excellent with all dishes tasting very good. They served the buttermilk before the actual thali was served. The Thali had a variety of dishes including dhal, avial, poriyal,curd, different chutneys. Sambar, Rasam and Mor Kuzhambu were served in separate bowls. For rice they provided 2 options Standard White Rice and Red Rice. They served the dessert in a separate plate which included Ada pradhaman, Payasam and Assorted Cut Fruits. The Sadhya was totally worth it for a price of Rs 425 on a Sunday (December 2025). If you are in and around Poes Garden area in Chennai this place is a must visit for a sumptuous meal!!! Regards, Deepak."

The authentic Kerala taste truly stands out and makes you feel right at home. The ambiance is warm and welcoming, and the staff are polite and attentive. A must visit spot for anyone craving genuine Kerala cuisine especially their signature Appam and Mutton Stew! 👌🏼🌴🍛"

"I had a great experience at Ente Keralam! The food was delicious and authentically Kerala-style, and the service was warm and friendly. The ambiance gave a nice traditional feel. The only small downside was that the bathroom could have been a bit tidier. Overall, it’s definitely a place I’d recommend for anyone craving good Kerala cuisine."

"The piping hot and pinkish 'Karingali' water sets the stage. And acts as the perfect foil to regular water served in fancy pet bottles in high end restaurants. Plus, the tiny servings of the banana chips - salt and sweet. Ente Keralam has been around for a long time, especially this branch in Poes Garden. The food is familiar without too many frills. We saw something unusual this time in the starters - paneer cubes coated with puli inji - that pungent mix of tamarind, ginger and jaggery. Offsetting the mildness of the paneer. Not a Kerala dish but the chef has obviously been experimenting and it works. Quite unlike paneer starters in North Indian restaurants. For the main course, we go for that eternal favourite. Cylinders of puttu with kadala curry. Amazing and in true form. The curry was mildly spiced and the kadala was soft and succulent To wash it down, a Kulukki (shaken) sharbet. Dark, spicy, sweet and sour. A little extreme but good. The sevice is warm and pleasant. The valet parking ensures that you walk into the genteel interior with Kerala props and a winding staircase and rooms with a few tables. Worth the experience and if you like chicken and fish, there's a lot for you to explore. And keeping it going for so many years means that they've got their rhythms right. I saw aappams and puttu vessels being used continuously. Felt right at home. And that's the point."
