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.

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 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.

Picked my own fish from the display and had it done Kerala style. That pearl spot fry was spot on, crispy outside, soft inside. Parking easy.

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

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 Kerala curries at Taj Green Cove were spot on 🍛 good mix of local and North Indian options for a hotel spot. My friends and I ended up sharing everything, which made it more fun.

The mango curry was rich and flavourful, and the crispy naan was a highlight. The karimeen pollichathu arrived undercooked initially, but they promptly replaced it without fuss.
