Kerala Cafe

"As a Malayali craving for taste back from home, this is a very Honest review..Two stars for the space..fancy space..we went there seeing all those reviews, after eating we realised.. North Indians rating South Indian food is just never to trust over…the food was nothing like Kerala food. When I enquired, apparently they have changed the cook and he is from north of India. No wonder every dish had onions fried and caramelised in it..you guys should know that sambar onion is the best part of all Kerala food not onions..we ordered appam and buff, it tasted so sweet with those onions, appam was the only thing good. Also we ordered dum biriyani, it had so much of ghee and oil…such disappointment for Kerala food. As a Malayali I would rate their food only one star."

"I visited this place for lunch with my colleagues for a small treat. The atmosphere was actually good—clean, calm, and not crowded at all. During lunch hours, there were only four of us in the restaurant, which initially felt pleasant. We ordered four Kerala meals (thali) along with one chilli beef and one dry beef fry. The waiters were polite and attentive, and they did their job well. However, the food itself was a major disappointment. Once the thali was served, the quality was far below expectations. Some of the curries, especially the coconut chammanthi, tasted like it had been taken straight from the freezer and seemed several days old. The sambar appeared to be overcooked or burnt, and there was a noticeable burnt smell, which ruined the taste. Except for the sambaram (chaas), none of the dishes stood out or felt fresh or enjoyable. Overall, the food quality did not justify the experience. Unfortunately, due to this experience, I would not recommend this place to others."

"Pomfret was exquisite. Paneer quality was not up to mark. Egg fried rice was also good. Star of the show was custard coconut jaggery. The reason I updated it to 2 star is due to the fact that the service charge you add too goes to the company's pocket. Already you are charging up your profit per dish and on top of that the service charge too is as a profit you are earning. This was not something expected."

"The butter dosa is extremely tasty and even the garlic button idli. I wonder why this place does not receive many breakfast customers but everything on the breakfast menu is amazing. Deserves more customers."

"The worst possible prawns and buff (erachi) I've ever eaten as a Malayali! Brings shame to Kerala food (owner should have thought about quality before naming the resto after my state) Pls eat at other kerala restaurants in Chembur for fresh and tasty food. Have tried the below till now 1. Hotel Sunny 2. Mayandi Vilas (Tamilian) - excellent bun porothas, chicken 65, nei mutton sukka Have generally never wasted food, but kerala cafe has made me waste the buff curry"
