yesterday i went there to have a good kerala food, online rating was really good so thought to give a try, waited for 10min to get noticed by someone to give order. tried beef fry biriyani and chicken 65, took around 40min to prepare the order,eating beef was like literally chewing rubber, chicken 65 was tasteless and biriyani was one of the worst biriyani i ever had eaten, literally had to throw away all the food. worst experience, never gonna come back again.still doesn’t know why they have good reviews or is it all paid ones.
Decided to try dinner here as we wanted to find a quiet restaurant away from the tourist area. There was no one else when we came and the staff was limited and very attentive. Although the space is limited they have made best use of the space by laying out booths and tables along the length of the building. The menu was authentic kerala cuisine and the owner too was very friendly and welcoming. We tried some parotha, chicken curry, kerala chicken Biriyani and idhiyapam. Everything was delivered quickly fresh and hot. It was my first time trying kerala chicken Biriyani and it was awesome. The dishes were moderately priced and well worth the money. If you are in Niagara Falls region and craving Kerala food, this place definitely got you covered. They also have car parking on the back of the building though the street parking is free on weekends and off business hours. Definitely recommend

As someone new to South Indian cuisine I was recommended to try the porotta and beef and I'm so glad I did. The porotta was flaky and delicious. The beef itself was tender packed with flavour with a spicy kick that wasn't too overwhelming. The waiters were also super helpful in guiding me through the menu and explaining the dishes. A must try dish with a grey service for anyone looking to explore South Indian food.
I visited this restaurant a couple of days ago with two of my friends. We only ordered chicken biryani, and while it tasted good at first, unfortunately, we didn’t feel well afterward. I developed pimples on my face and back, one of my friends vomited after hours, and another had gas trouble. I chose this place because it was HIGHLY RATED as one of the top restaurants near Niagara, but based on our experience, I was quite disappointed. Just sharing my experience.
Had an amazing experience at this Kerala restaurant! From the moment we walked in, the aroma of spices felt like a trip back to God’s Own Country.
We tried the Kerala meals, porotta with beef curry, and aavoli pollichathu — every dish was rich, flavorful, and freshly prepared. The service was excellent; the staff were attentive and polite. The music that made the dining experience even better.
If you’re looking for authentic South Indian food in the city, this is definitely a must visit

Totally disappointed with the service and food. We ordered Parotta and Beef curry both tasted horrible. Seems they are using cheap oil and gravy was so watery.

Can't believe I could get authentic malabar style homely food in Niagara. I came with 5 of my friends after a long journey from Toronto.
The beef roast was so exquisite that I had to order a take out before going home. The porotta along with was so smooth and crispy. I remembered that scene from the Godha movie - where tovino talks about eating beef and porotta.
The dum biriyani was so flavoured and tasty, which resembled the biryanis I used to eat back home during weddings. The price for chicken biryani was just 12.99 Unbelievable!
I wouldn't suggest any other restaurant than this for the taste, budget price and items.
Another best recommended foods from here is the beef kizhi porotta and kappa biryani.
Sadly, due to me and my friend's uncontrollable watery mouths, we forgot to take photos. May be next time.
And one important thing I noticed was, entire niagara is silent and asleep at this hour (11.45PM) and yet we got food! Not even my mom would cook me food at this time lol. 😸
Don't forget to tip them. It's worth it.
I was very disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. The food was extremely oily, which made it quite unappetizing. The chicken curry lacked flavor and was very watery, almost like a soup rather than a curry. Overall, the quality did not meet expectations, and I left feeling unsatisfied.
