Thank you to the lovely establishment and staff because you give out exactly as it says- traditional Mallu cuisine with the absolutely beautiful flavours!!! Where do I even begin to rave about the food? I had family from US visit the UK and I was a bit scared of they would be up for literally the food of our homeland. They loved it so much they said it was the best place they ate at in their whole trip. I will attach pictures and keep it simple by saying the food was EXCELLENT! Now for the part that was my absolute favourite- the Neelakandan special mix cocktail. Gorgeous cocktail and cutest ode to Lalettan! The staff were extremely sweet and accomodating. The only thing for atmosphere was it was very warm on the day and I wish it were cooler inside.

The food is excellent - you get a variety of options , it's very well prepared/seasoned and you can tell it's freshly made. The portion size is very generous and it's also very reasonably priced. The staff were also really good and personable, particularly Devu who served. I would definitely recommend eating here!

They have an amazing varieties in chattichor, that includes all varieties of seafoods. We had “kadal thalika” chattichor which is a must try for seafood lovers. Also their payyoli chicken fry was very yummy. Thank you Ms.Devu and Mr.Netto for your kind and welcoming service. We will definitely visit again for your amazing foods.

The food is superb. The portions are generous. Service is friendly. A few things we wanted to try on the menu weren't available. But everything we ordered was excellent. My chicken biryani was loads of rice, meat on the bone, delicately flavoured and too much to finish. We did over order (not my turn to pay) but for 40 a head, including a lot of Cobras, it's very good value. I really enjoyed Magic Masala and I'm looking forward to my next meal here.
