Great seafood spot with proper AC and a fun rock playlist in the background. Fish and prawns were cooked well, mango lassi was a nice touch. Good place to chill with friends. 😄

Came with a big group and they handled it well. Puttu and curries were fresh, proper Kerala style. Service was warm too.

The Oreo shake is the only thing that matters here. Thick, not too sweet, actual Oreo chunks in every sip. I didn&#39;t care about the board games or the books or whatever vibe they&#39;re going for. Just sat, drank it, left. Would get another one if I&#39;m in the area again. That&#39;s it.

The staff here really know how to take care of you&mdash;Ashvin and Shravani were super attentive. Food was tasty, though the place got a bit loud by evening. Good spot for a casual meal.

Their almond white chocolate cake is still my favorite after all these years. Never misses.

The porotta and chicken curry were superb. Pazhampori on the side worked well too. Prices are fair for what you get.

The owner&rsquo;s really friendly and clearly loves the food. Service was decent but got a bit slow once the place filled up. Portions felt fair for what we paid.

The chocolate cake was a lovely surprise. Service was fine, and the vibe is nice for a quick coffee stop. Seats were comfortable enough to sit back and relax for a bit.

The seating area felt really cramped, but the peach iced tea was refreshing. Creamy pesto chicken pasta was a bit oily though.

We stopped by the original branch and it was just as good as the one near us. Even past lunch hour it was busy, but we got seated right away. Service was friendly and quick.

The Jokolia Chicken and that whole wheat bread were really good. Crab soup was rich too. Portion sizes felt decent for what we paid. Solid spot in Kochi.

The seating was comfortable and the staff made sure I had everything I needed. Food was decent, nothing fancy, but it did the job for a relaxed meal.

Decent spot right by the backwaters. Staff were gracious and let us sit around after our drinks. Fine for a relaxed evening, though the food was just okay.

Unlimited quarter mandi for four at ₹220 &mdash; solid deal. Food was good, service okay. Can&#39;t complain for the price.

Decent Andhra place with a few North Indian options. Payasam was the highlight, paneer butter masala tasted fresh but slightly overpriced. Parking nearby is convenient. Washroom is basic, does the job.

The Thai clear soup and Manchow soup were both solid picks. Staff knew the menu well and helped us decide quickly. Service was smooth, no complaints.

The chicken steak with pepper sauce is still my go-to here. Tender every single time. Nutella shake was rich too. Passion fruit Molotov wasn&#39;t as good, but I keep coming back for that steak.

The catch of the day was properly spicy, came with salad and fries. Staff knew the menu well. Also had incense under tables for mosquitoes&mdash;smart move for outdoor seating.

Grilled prawns were properly seasoned, fish pollichathu was solid too. Simple place, easy on the pocket. Service quick, felt like eating at someone&#39;s home.

The thenthuk was decent&mdash;hearty broth, good amount of veggies. Shabaley stood out, crispy and well-spiced. Steamed momos were fine too, though nothing mind-blowing. Portions generous, left full. Place gets busy around 7, so expect a bit of a wait. Pretty good for a casual dinner.

The waterfront seating is so peaceful, especially compared to the chaos of Fort Kochi. Just sat there watching the water for a while.

Came here twice while we were in town. The Ammachi chicken curry is the one to get, seriously good. Service was quick, no hovering around which I liked. Salad was fresh too. Place got a bit loud by evening but still fine for a casual catch-up with friends. Would go back if I&#39;m in the area again.

The London street-style decor with that vintage phone booth is such a vibe. Garlic bread and pesto pizza were solid too.

Came here on a weekday evening and tried the pad thai plus spring rolls. The rolls were crispy, and Kim at the counter suggested this chili sauce that made them even better. Ended with the duo creme brulee &mdash; the caramel top was nice and crackly. Service was quick too, though the place got a bit noisy later.

The seasonal fruit platter was fresh and the coffee honestly some of the best I&#39;ve had in India. Grabbed a seat by the port&mdash;that view alone is worth it.

Been coming here for a while now. The brownie still hits the spot every time, and the hot chocolate is consistent. Staff remembers regulars, which is nice. Place gets a bit crowded on weekends, but that&#39;s a good sign. Just wish they had a few more seats, that&#39;s all.

Came here on a weekday evening, place was packed but got a table fast. Had the parathas&mdash;stuffed really well, came out hot. Dal fry was decent too, though I wished they&#39;d used less oil. Freshness of the ingredients came through, which I always appreciate. Simple seating, nothing fancy, but the food does the talking.

Went with a couple of friends for a quick dinner. The hara bhara kebab was really good, crispy outside and soft inside. We ordered dal rice with chilli garlic paratha too, simple but hit the spot. Service was friendly, didn&rsquo;t have to wait long. Nice little spot if you&rsquo;re craving something comforting. 😊
