Indrapuri: Dont miss a Kerala Sadya

by ushar

Very close to MG road Trivandrum.A fairly new joint. Ambience is very good. Typical Kerala Sadya.A typical Kerala Sadya is (Veg).A Sadya consists of a minimum a 20 diff type of veg dishes , banana chips , pickels , pappadams along with the steamed rice.All layed out in Banana leaves.And also for sweet dish we get 2 kind of 'Payasams' too.Normally you see a full sadya only on festival seasons or Marriage functions or ONAM (harvest festival of Kerala) time.The restuarent serve it always. Mostly for lunch time.

Fort Cochin: Actually do not miss the fresh seafood

by fleetfoot

This is located in Cochin, in Casino Hotel. It opens only in the evenings and you have to book in advance for a table. They give you fresh catch of the day (which you select) and they cook it in front of you (and they are helpful with 1001, literally, suggestions). Everything is good, though you could try the mixed seafood platter.

Chinesse Fishing Nets: Don't Miss The Fresh Seafood!

by msforbes

The entrance into the harbour at Fort Kochi greets you with these Chinesse fishing nets. They were introduced by Chinesse traders some time ago. It takes three men to operate these nets. Infront of the nets you can haggle with the fishermen selling their catch. From there you can take the fish to a number of outdoor restaurants who will whip you up a curry, or a fish fry. The price has past my mind, but it's not very much money.

Kashi Art Cafe: Cochin Restaurant

by Canadienne

I simply don't have enough tips to merit a Cochin page, although I thought it was a really nice city. If you do make it there, or plan to make it there, I highly recommend a restaurant called the Kashi Art Cafe.I had lunch there with a couple of other people from my group and it was superb ~ a bean dish, fresh steamed vegetables and a wonderful chocolate cake. The owner is European and the vegetables are prepared in tourist-friendly water. . .so you get the benefit and taste of the real thing, but without the risk of stomach upset.

Unnamed: Fresh Seafood

by Canadienne

Rice and coconut-based curries are the staples of the Keralan menu ~ but fish plays a large role, taking advantage of the geography and natural resources of the area. In Fort Kochi, near the fishing nets, you'll find a long row of vendors selling fish freshly caught from the sea. It's kept on ice, but the weather was extremely warm when we were there, so it's always wise to watch for turnover of product. You purchase your fish and it's taken across a path to one of a half-dozen restaurants where they'll cook it on the spot. Delicious!

Dosa

by yumiyun

Whilst you are in South India, try some local delicacy, like dosa. Made of rice flour, it looks like a pancake. You can chose from variety of dosa, masala dosa, paper roast etc.I like my dosa brown and crispy : )

Ariya Nivas: Good and clean South Indian Food

by yumiyun

Aryan Nivas serves a good South Indian dishes as well as some North Indian dishes in an AC clean hotel located near the Trivandrum train station. Here the service is good and you need not have to worry about cleanliness. Of course dosa: there are different kinds of dosa. Try puri as well, which comes steaming hot and large!

HILL VIEW RESTAURANT (Varkala,...

by SirRichard

HILL VIEW RESTAURANT (Varkala, Kerala)One of the restaurants lined up at the edge of the cliffs. There are many, but this is the closest to the border, so it has marvellous views. Nice fresh fish and amazing desserts (crepes...)!!
