Vayalil Restaurant, The Finedine, eanchakkal

"Visited this restaurant recently and found the experience to be quite average overall. While the ambience is genuinely impressive—with stylish decor, cozy lighting, and a relaxing vibe—the rest of the visit didn’t quite went well. 🍽️ Food Quality The taste of the dishes were just okay. Nothing stood out, and the flavors felt underwhelming. It’s not bad, but certainly not memorable or worth a repeat visit based on food alone. 📋 Menu Accuracy One major issue was the inconsistency between the menu and what was actually served. Dish names and descriptions didn’t match the served one 💰 Pricing Prices are noticeably higher than similar restaurants in the area. Given the average quality and the mismatch between menu and food, the value for money is poor. 🌿 Ambience This is the one area where the restaurant truly shines. The interior is thoughtfully designed and creates a pleasant atmosphere. 🧾 Final Thoughts If you’re looking for a place with great ambience, this might be worth a one-time visit. But if food quality, menu clarity, and fair pricing are priorities, you may want to explore other options."

"Had to opt for this during a return journey on way to airport based. A so called ambience is made by using old style lamps and darker. The handwash area needs to be seriously improbed and few lights would certainly help help. The orders were delivered without much of a delay as requested but need to improve on majority of the items."

"I had a really disappointing experience at this restaurant. The restrooms were in a horrible state — very cramped, dirty, with a bad smell and barely any water flow in the flush, and the overall hygiene of the wash area was just as bad. Coming to the food, the Hyderabadi chicken biryani was nothing like a real biryani, just some red-coloured rice with a few boneless chicken fry pieces and no (Hyderabadi) flavour at all. The Chicken Varutharachathu was too watery and tasted like a basic chicken curry without any roasted coconut flavour, and the Fried rice was just average. They don’t even have proper parking — only on a congested street — yet the prices are quite high for this quality. The only good part was the service from the North Indian staff member who was polite and did his job well, but overall, it was a very unsatisfying experience and I wouldn’t want to visit again."

"Really Disappointed!!!, not at all recommended for any type of eaters. The place is good for nothing. Had to wait for too long time to get food. Very few staffs, them too had to run to meet all customers. I Ordered Paneer tikka masala and got burnt curry. 0 clean!!. From wash areas to table cloth, all were in worst state. People couldn't wash their hands due to these bad pungent smells from washrooms. And the cost, omg! Too much over priced. Bad food, unmaintained and unclean atmosphere, and huge delays for orders, still this high cost!!!. I complained them abt the issue and they reacted as if they are least bothered abt these. Even after getting burnt food, they charged whole price for it without reduction. Really worst experience!!!"

"The food and service was good. I especially liked there Butter chicken, all the north indian dishes are generally good but when it comes to Kerala and other cuisines they are lacking. The ambience is good and the customer service was exceptional. The only reason why I didn't give 5 stars is that they were not able to deliver the consistency across their other cuisines. Also there is no parking facility you would probably need to park the vehicle on the NH road. Overall the service, food are good, would recommend."
