  • Food not good Apr 28, 2013

    We went for lunch with office folks on a weekday. It was about 10 of us. When we entered the place seemed clean, not much hustle-bustle (it was less than half full). Nothing much to write about the ambiance, but all neat and spaced out. And the staff seemed eager to serve. So far, so good.

    In comes food. With the 10 of us, we ordered almost 20 different items (starters, mains, sides etc). None of it got a comment - "this is good". Some of the dishes had same curries as base, just changed the vegetables. We ended up ordering more breads we could eat, as "what to eat with.. '. So to sum    ... read more

  • Good kerala food! Mar 31, 2013

    Visited this place as it was walking distance from the guest house where we were put up. Ordered the kappa and meen curry and the karimeen pollichathu. Th kappa was a little bland and lacked salt. The meen curry was really good. Not over spicy.

    The karimeen pollichathu was yummy too. The filling in the fish just lifted the fish totally.

    The service was good. The place as such is good too. Nothing to rave about though.

    4/5

  • Bad Food and Terrible Service Nov 17, 2012

    Karimeen that we ordered was extremely spicy and had no other flavors, it was as if they dipped it in chilli paste and served to us. When we complained about the super hot spice, they said that's how they make it everyday (so deal with it!!)
    Rest of the order was quite as flavorless too.

  • Pathetic service and poor food Apr 22, 2012

    The worst and pathetic service in the city. The way they treat is too worst. The food was too bad and unhygienic. I would not recommend this place to any one.

    Had chappathi with pepper chicken masala in the evening. Good enough and reasonably priced.

  • Fish was not cooked properly! Mar 12, 2012

    Its a horrible experience when i ordered for Aiyla Fish fry. It was not cooked properly and when i asked the waiter that it is not cooked,. he said the raw parts are onions. I continued to argue and pointed out that its not cooked and finally he broke a apologetic smile. The quality of food is becoming very low here and of course the servers neither understand English nor Tamil.

  • Food quality average Feb 27, 2012

    In the beginning the food was good, later on the quality went down and price became inverse of quality.
    Service varies from person to person (as I was a frequent visitor when I was in Chennai). Some will serve well (Lack of proper supervison). Attitude is anything can be served, people will not ask as there is no Kerala restaurant nearby.
    All food tastes similar, can't differentiate.

  • Food quality going down with every visit Mar 16, 2011

    I have been a quasi-regular to Kumarakom. Almost every time I go there, I feel that the food quality is going down a one-way street. Agreed that the vegetarian meals still stay within reasonable limits of palatability and taste, but the non-vegetarian preparations leave a lot more to be desired each time I pay a visit, especially the Syrian Beef Fry, which at one time was their signature dish, gets worse every time I visit.It partly has to do with the quality of the meat they keep getting, I guess. Overall, I'll rate it just average. Decent value for money, but you can't go there looking for ambia... read more

  • Awesome wholesome Kerala meals Feb 10, 2011

    Nowadays I have been frequenting Kumarakom, Velachery for their unlimited Kerala meals. If you ask me if it is authentic, I would say they are nearly there.

    Usually I go for their Kerala meals which is priced at 55rs. I find the price very reasonable for an unlimited Kerala meals in Chennai. Meals come with sambar, Pulisheri and rasam. The side dishes for the meals usually consist of aviyal (mixed vegetable cooked in cocconut paste), thoran/mezhukku purattiyathu (vegetable fried in oil with or without cocconut), Pickle and Kerala pappads. They have the option of Kerala rice or white rice.    ... read more

  • Aye to that!!! Aug 24, 2010

    I would second the previous 2 reviewers. Been here a couple of times. Stuck only to Kerala food. Food was good. We liked it a lot. But the service is really a problem for people who don't speak Malayalam. The waiters couldn't understand (in both English & Tamil) what we are talking about and vice versa. Most of the times, they just stand in their places and simply stare at us.

    Also, the Kerala food menu is too small to have a complete meal out of it. If both these are worked on, its a good place to frequent.
