This place served fantastic South Indian food at great prices. I somehow managed to get invited to a cookery class that a fellow traveller had talked the staff into organising. The staff gave us a masterclass in south Indian food. It was one of the most enjoyable experiences of my time in Kerala. I don't think they normally do these... More

This vegetarian restaurant did the best dinner we ate in Varkala. Although the restaurant had only the most basic furniture, looked quite ordinary, and is just a bit out of the way (by the helipad), it was friendly and the food was excellent and cheap.

Don't be put off by the parking lot in front of the restaurant---it kind of adds to the funky charm of the place. The food is very good and the owner is a kind man who gave us lots of terrific "must eat" suggestions.

We went to this place as this is the only pure vegetarian outlet. But have loads of time/patience. Service is very slow but you won't repent waiting once food arrivs. Its all freshly prepared and tastes yummy! First day we waited for about 40 minutes being the only customer(Group of 6).Their chappatis are super soft and subjis are super tasty.... More
