The vibe here is simple but warm, and the food honestly felt like home. I had the veg thali and it hit the spot. Prices are fair too. Only thing is the seating is a bit cramped, but I didn&#39;t mind much. Tap water was clean, which I appreciated. 🌿

The chicken biryani combo was decent for the price, honestly. Portion size is fair, not huge, but you won&#39;t leave hungry. Good spot if you&#39;re in a rush and want something filling without spending too much.

Cool corner spot. Outdoor seating&#39;s nice, good book selection. Club sandwich with bacon was solid. Service better than the cliff one. Gift shop&#39;s a bonus.

We booked the banquet hall for a birthday do, and Ajith handled everything pretty well. He was on top of the setup and made sure the drinks kept flowing. Food was solid, crowd-pleasing stuff. My only gripe&mdash;the cocktails could&#39;ve been stronger. Otherwise, a hassle-free evening.

Came here for a birthday dinner with family. Staff brought out a cake with a lit candle and sang for us &mdash; nice touch. Buffet had a live appam counter and fresh juices. Hindi singer was a vibe.

Came here with a couple of friends last week and honestly the live music was the best part 🎵 Food was pretty basic but did the job. Location is super convenient though. Prices are a bit steep for what you get, but if you&#39;re just here for the vibe and some drinks, it&#39;s a decent pick. Would come back if someone else is paying lol.

Stopped by for a drink at the bar inside the Hilton. Staff were polite, no complaints there. Cocktail list had a few decent picks. The space itself feels a bit dated though, could use some sprucing up. Fine for a quick stop if you&#39;re staying at the hotel, but I wouldn&#39;t go out of my way for the vibe.

The food was really tasty, but honestly the portions felt a bit small for what we paid. Staff knew the menu well when we asked for suggestions though.

The owner and his wife handle everything themselves. Kadai paneer and dal were both solid, prices fair. Service was quick even when it got busy.

Been coming here for a while now. The fish dishes are always consistent, that chicken curry too. Service can drag a bit if you&#39;re in a hurry, so I just order everything in one go. It&#39;s the kind of place you keep going back to for the food, not the speed. Good enough for me.

The cappuccino and chocolate cake hit the spot while watching the waves. Staff kept my water topped up without hovering. Bit touristy, but the coffee here beats most spots along the coast.

Grilled meats were solid, and the staff kept my wine glass full. Service lagged a bit, but worth it.

The full shawaya chicken with Kerala parotta and mayo dip was so good 😋 the shawaya was definitely the star. Parotta was soft too. Perfect spot for a casual catch-up with friends!

Been coming here for years and the taste never changes. Portion size for the price is honestly impressive. Warm vibe too, great spot to catch up with friends over good food 😊

The cold coffee with ice cream was the best part. Thick, sweet, and the ice cream melted just right into it. Food was decent too, nothing crazy but it worked. Prices fair for what you get. View is whatever, I was there for the coffee honestly.

Came here two nights straight for the seafood. Tiger prawns and squid were spot on, crab too. The Thai curry with prawns had a nice kick, and paneer curry with garlic naan was solid. Service kept up even when it got busy. Only thing, the place gets loud, but food made up for it.

The caramel vanilla milkshake was really good&mdash;thick, not too sweet. Spicy chicken noodles hit the spot too. Place has a nice sea view, pretty relaxed vibe. Menu&#39;s a bit small, but what we ordered was decent. Fine for a casual meal if you&#39;re in the area.

Came for the sea view, honestly the pizza stole the show. Wood-fired crust had that nice char, toppings were fresh. Sat outside, breeze was perfect, didn&#39;t want to leave. Staff checked on us a couple times, not too pushy. Prices are a bit steep but you&#39;re paying for the location. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Great live music and the crowd was buzzing. Staff kept things moving even when it got packed. Drinks were solid, food decent but nothing crazy. Good spot to hang out if you&#39;re into that scene.

The lemon garlic snapper was fresh, flaky, and the garlic came through just right. Cold beer helped wash it down. Price was decent for a beachside spot. Nothing fancy, but the fish was cooked properly and that&#39;s what mattered to me.

Good spot for a quick bite. Ghee roast was solid, onion utappam decent. Pakora came out hot and crispy. Prices fair for this area. Nothing fancy but does the job.

The terrace view at sunset is something else. Right by the beach, grabbed a coffee and just chilled. Good spot to unwind if you&#39;re in the area.

The pasta here is solid &mdash; had the tomato basil one and it hit the spot. Soups are good too. Place has that European bistro feel, simple chairs and warm lighting, nothing fancy but comfortable enough to sit for a while. Service was quick when I went. Maybe not mind-blowing, but it does the job for a casual meal.

Tried the buffet lunch here last week. Ice cream was fresh, not the usual freezer-tasting stuff. Spread was decent for the price. We ordered a couple of a-la-carte dishes too, those were okay. Place gets a bit crowded around 1pm, but service kept up fine. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

The seafood was super fresh, tasted like it just came out of the ocean. I asked for mine without spice and they handled it perfectly. Good spot for a casual catch-up with friends 🙂

The sunset view here is absolutely stunning, no doubt about that. Grilled fish was decent, moussaka not so much. Service felt a bit all over the place though.

The view from the top floor is the real deal&mdash;watch the fishermen while you eat. Food was decent, prices a bit steep though. Cool hut-style roof keeps it breezy for an afternoon bite.

We stopped by for breakfast and I have to say the aloo paratha really hit the spot. Crispy outside, plenty of filling inside, and the yogurt on the side balanced it nicely. My husband ordered the masala omelette and it was loaded with veggies. Only small thing - the coffee was already sweetened when it arrived. I prefer mine plain, so just keep that in mind if you&#39;re particular about your coffee. Otherwise a comfortable spot to start the day.
