Malabar Junction

I got an opportunity to have dinner at this restaurant and felt it was overrated. The menu was limited and the food was average for the price paid. Although the ambience looked good, it couldn't match up the culinary experience.

EVERYTHING AVERAGE except PRICE Unless you want a lavish ambience - Don't go . It's heavily marketed by nearby hotels and hostels. I ordered sea food thali. After 45 mins wait time (and 2 reminders) the food arrived. Average taste. Pretentious kerala cuisine. Their mocktails are good. I asked for normal water, they gave me a glass bottle (norm in kerala) Later they told me its premium water and charged 250/- plus tax. I went in knowing the food is expensive. What i didnt know was A. They will charge GST on top of mentioned price. B. They will give me water that is half the price of the meal. C. Average taste.

So, so happy to have found this restaurant (almost by chance)! It’s the best food we’ve had in Kochi, incredible flavours that marry fish with Indian spices. Absolutely try the pollichathu, both the eggplant and fish one, as well as the calamari. Great experience!!

My visit to this restaurant was out of blue and to my surprise it more or less felt like a private reservation for me since we were the only customers and I am still wondering why !! Great Ambience, The menu didn't have much of varities. It was one man service , the food waiting time was a little longer than expected. Taste had nothing wow to offer. But if you want to dine in a quite serene and calm space this definitely can be your place.

Food was excellent, we ordered kerala chef vegitarian meal and fish polichottu. We had same dishes in other places in fort Kochi compared to all this was our best experience. Service was pretty good. Only thing is it is extremely overpriced imagine 550 incl tax, for a vegetarian limited meal. So 3 stars for that.

Food is average and priced on the higher side. As it is a part of the hotel, the extra 18% charge makes it even more expensive. Not recommended, there was no one on a week day for lunch other than us, this should have been a clue for us.

The ambience is very attractive and one feels good. But the service is very poor. We ordered some drinks and food. Food was okay as ordered biryani but the drinks took aged to come. And when they finally came the were not cold at all when we had specifically asked for them to be cold as it was a hot day. They seemed confused and all over the place. The place can be great but needs looking into its service.

Fantastic relaxed dining in a lovely setting. Food is a credit to Chef, who was a great host, feels like being invited into their home.
