The food here is absolutely top-notch! Every time we try something new, we’re blown away by the flavors. Even the simplest dishes are rich and full of taste. For those of us who love trying a variety of dishes, the combo is an absolute must-try, truly commendable! We love coming back to this place. Special thanks to Saran and Kiran for their warm and welcoming service, truly outstanding hospitality.

I visited Restaurant Chef Pillai alone for lunch. Great ambience located in Le Meridien with soothing malayalam songs. I had roasted cumin pumpkin soup, Nool parotta, Chemeen Theeyal, Kuthari rice and unniyappam Falooda. Food To me, the roasted cumin pumpkin soup was the standout one among all. Rich and creamy with great flavour, served with roasted idiyappam at top. I find it unique. Nool parotta, kuthari choru and Chemeen Theeyal. Nothins special about them. It's similar to what we make at home or your find in any decent restaurants like Paragon. I didn't realise chef's touch in Chemeen Theeyal. Unniyappam Falooda. I would say it's a very good falooda, but I got fooled by the name. The strawberry icecream flavour overpowered everything else. Unniyappam quantity was very small. I didn't taste it literally. Sevice The service was good, friendly staff, but they didn't tell me about the combo package initially. This made me to order individual items. Also, I was full after having parotta and Chemeen Theeyal, but there was some gravy left over. I asked the waiter to provide a little rice for the curry. He denied saying that it has to be ordered as a portion. I agree he has done nothing wrong, but he should have shown courtesy. Also, the waiter asked me if he can give the bill while I was in the middle of having falooda! He should have followed the basic manners of waiting till the customer asks for the bill. Cost Very high for the kind of food I had. The food tasted nothing special to me except the pumpkin soup. I ended up paying ₹ 1847 for a meal. Will I visit again or recommend to my friends? Definitely not!!

Amazing place to be in for Kerala cuisine. I had vegetarian stuff and that was good as well. Names of the dishes are difficult to pronounce for non-South people so just posting photos. Service is also very cordial and Susmita was kind enough to explain stuff while serving with a smile. The interesting part was that they serve hot water which is very nice. Price wise....very reasonable.
