Nice food, with all ranges of spices. The staff was very pacient and nice to explain us the difference between dishes and answer all the spices-related questions. The atmosphere was calm, the music was not too loud and we can talk amongst ourselves, which was great. The mango lassi was tasty, not too sweet, with cardamom and other flavors. I personally enjoyed the garlic naan, as it accompanied the malabar lamb curry nicely.
Genuine piece of Kerala in the middle of Lison! We tried almost everything on the menu. Our favourites were authentic fish curry, fish pollichathu, Kerala porotta and beef curry. Other star items were Chicken biriyani, chicken varutharachathu, puttu, pidi and kozhi. Everything was extremely delicious. We didnt want to go back from this place because of this restaurant. We returned here for every meal. Still cant forget the taste of puttu and fish pollichathu. So many vegetarian, vegan food options. Puttu and kadala curry was marvellous. We tried unni appam and panchamrutham which i suggest everyone to have at the restaurant while it’s served hot. Would 100% return here if we are visiting Lisbon again. Met the chefs who are from Kochi and Kozhikode who know the heart and soul of Kerala cuisine. You wont be disappointed. Arguably the food was equally delicious as the food we get in Kerala ! Honourable mention is our server Kulwinder who helped us choose items on the menu and suggested the right items with so much love genuinely and enthusiasm. Loved the experience! Hope you guys open a restaurant in Miami some day :)!!
My husband (Indian, originally from Kerala) and I (German) went here for lunch today on our last day of vacation in Portugal. I’ve lived in India, Kerala for a year in 2014 and therefore very well know the authentic South Indian cuisine, especially Kerala’s cuisine. I had ordered a Masala Dosa, Kadala Curry with Puttu (my favorite dish), two Uzhunnu Vada as well as two Parippu Vada. My husband had ordered Chicken 65 and Beef Pepper Fry. Everything we ordered was delicious. For everyone having second thoughts: I genuinely doubt you get that authentic AND tasty Kerala dishes at every other corner. Service was kind and quick, I cannot understand the complains. The owner is very approachable and has a chit-chat with all his customers making sure everything is fine. He talked to us for at least 15-20 minutes. Very nice guy! I do highly recommend eating here if you want to try or crave yummy and authentic Kerala cuisine. Trust me, you won't find anything beating this in Lisbon! 😉
Visiting Lisbon on holiday, bumped into this South Indian restaurant as we would like to have atleast one Indian meal a couple of days. Really good quality food, some of the dishes are very authentic South Indian and an aubergine based curry i ordered I felt was not that authentic South Indian but more of a usual Indian curry, the taste was still very good though. Ordered a traditional dessert which is unniappam which was super yummy and very authentic. The owner was very humble, approached us at the table and when there was a slight misunderstanding in the list of items when the order was taken, she explained the reason and was very apologetic, it was so kind! All the staff were very kind and courteous. The restaurant was super busy, that explains their popularity! Definitely will visit again once more before we leave Lisbon!
