The paneer curry tasted fresh and the spices were balanced just right. Prices felt fair for the portion size. Wish they had more veggie options though.

The spiral ramp is honestly the coolest part&mdash;felt like I was walking through history. Chicken cutlet and filter coffee were solid too, and super easy on the pocket. Great spot to bring friends for a casual catch-up 😄

The seafood basket with prawns and lobster was really good. Portions were generous and the staff were friendly. Would come back for that again.

Tried the seafood here for the first time &mdash; really fresh and well priced. We ordered a few things and liked them all. Service was fine, just parking outside is a bit of a hassle.

Kerala meals and mutton biryani were solid, good portions too. Ayala fry and chicken 65 hit the spot. Afternoon rush means a wait, but parking&#39;s easy.

Came in at 9:25 and they were closing but still seated us. Said they never turn anyone away hungry. Food was fresh, service was genuinely kind. That stuck with me.

Stopped by for a quick dinner &mdash; place has this calm vibe, easy to relax after work. Interior&rsquo;s flashy though, kids were busy taking selfies the whole time. We ordered the butter chicken and garlic naan, pretty solid. Naan could&rsquo;ve been softer, but overall decent. Portions are okay for the price.

Nice spot by the sea, open-air and chill. Had a cocktail while watching the waves&mdash;pretty solid pour. Location does most of the heavy lifting here.

Tried the Hulk pizza&mdash;honestly pretty solid, loaded with flavor. Place has a chill vibe, street art on the walls gives it character. Parking though, ugh, barely any spots. Had to circle around a bit. Location&rsquo;s a little awkward too, easy to miss if you&rsquo;re not looking. But the pizza made it worth the hassle. 🍕

Snacks were solid, especially the banana chips and halwa. Pricier than street stalls, but you get consistent quality and freshness. Fair trade-off.

The Korean cream bun was spot on, and the breakfast combo&#39;s decent value. Just wish they&#39;d use ceramic cups instead of paper for coffee.

Came here with a couple of friends on a busy evening. The food was solid&mdash;we ordered a few things to share and everything tasted fresh. Service was a bit slow though, our dishes took forever to come out. Staff looked super stressed. But honestly the food made up for it. Would come back for the flavors, just maybe on a quieter day 😅

The paneer tikka here was pretty solid&mdash;charred just right, not too dry. I grabbed a sandwich too and it hit the spot. Place sits right across from the beach, so you can just sit and watch the waves while you eat. Service was a bit slow but I didn&rsquo;t really mind.

The Honey Al Faham was so juicy, that butter naan with it was perfect. Mint lime on the side hit the spot.

Tried the brunch buffet at Malabar Cafe today. Mutton biryani was properly spiced and smelled amazing. Dessert counter had decent options too. Staff kept checking on us, which was nice.

Grabbed a quick lunch here last week. The Kerala fish curry was solid, came with rice and it hit the spot. Place is big, plenty of seating inside and out. Service gets a bit slow when it&#39;s packed, but for a quick bite it worked fine. Would stop by again if I&#39;m in the area.

The walk up is a bit steep but once you&rsquo;re there it&rsquo;s so peaceful, away from all the crowd. We got the seafood platter for two and it was plenty. Staff even adjusted the spice level for us.

The Travancore food festival is on right now &mdash; tried their fish curry and it was pretty solid. Good mix of regional dishes, though the place gets crowded fast.

Tried the honey sesame shrimp here last week. Pretty good, not gonna lie. The sauce was sweet but not too heavy, and the shrimp were fresh. Place is right by the sea so you get that breeze while eating. Prices are okay for the location. Service was a bit slow but I wasn&#39;t in a hurry. Would go back if I&#39;m craving that dish again.

The fish was really good and the host made us feel comfortable. Portion size felt fair for what we paid, especially compared to the pricier spots near the beach. Quiet spot too.

Came here with my girls and the candlelit beach setup was so pretty 🌊 Seafood platter was fresh, no complaints. Staff let us chill way past our time too.

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.

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.
