This place is very popular in Nungambakkam and is too crowded for lunch. But I dono if it was an off day for the restaurant, or if its my bad day for lunch, nothing on the menu was available. I love the velachery Kumarakom, its the yummiest place in the area to eat, so i had the same rather even better expectations since this place is more prime and senior to the velachery branch.
There was no appam, puttu, etc. which were only available in eve. There was no veg stew/avial or anything keralan for a veggie to eat for lunch. There was meals which had nothing keralan about it, typical south indian meals. So i ordered for egg parata and veg kurma. The lassi to drink, which again is punjabi? i guess! The egg parata was awesome, every bite was yummy. The veg kurma was kinda ok, its the coconut milk kurma with a lota spices, cudve been better. Frst of all, it was my last choice and hence i wasnt satisfied.
Maybe, i should go another time for dinner when everything is available. Somehow i dont feel welcome tho. Am sure this place is a lot better and less frustrating to fish-eaters, but for me i guess velachery Kumarakom back home is heaven!

At chennai standards, this is one of the best Mallu Joint.
Just that they charge 200 bucks for a fish curry.
Otherwise, very decent pricing and i love their Beef and Pork prepration.
To freak out
1.Pork Fry
2.Syrian Beef Fry
3.Beef Curry
4.Fish Curry
5.Meals
6.Appam
7.Poratta
8.Kappa -Red meen curry
To be avoided
1. Fish Fry
2. Prawns
My question to them - Why the F are you not serving Mutton/Beef stew??
