The retaurant food is excellent though service could be quicker. Breakfast was a bit of mix and match but a vast spread. From
omelette (made with one egg) made on the spot, cakes (very delicious), bread, idli
sambar, pav bhaji, dosa plus non-veg dishes. Tea/Coffee as well as milk shake
and pineapple juice.
They offered
Kerala Cuisine for lunch. Avial (Rs. 120) was okayish. The Phulkas were nice
and soft (Rs.5/- each). The Nan (Rs. 25 each) was not stiff like a poppadum but
soft and filling. The coconut soufflé icecream made of tender coconut malai was
really tasty.
The dinner was even better than the lunch. Unfortunately
they had opened the new restaurant section for it and we rather preferred the
original section. There was a buffet for Rs. 450 plus taxes which we didn’t opt
for. We preferred choosing from the menu. There was a live veena performance
playing film tunes and Gandhi’s prayer. Candles
were lit on each table. The smoke got in the nostrils but the food was divine.
And the electric lights were on as well so we could see what was on the plate.
It was jeera rice (Rs. 150), Dal Lazooni (Rs.120) was superb and the good ol’
phulkas (Rs. 5/- each). The best part was the dahi (curd) served in a nice big
bowl. It’s not charged extra. This is true of other restaurants in Kerala as
well. The portions are large and served for two more than adequately.
