4.0 / 5.0(3,033 reviews)

The taste of the food is ok but it's too costly for sea foods. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very good. Plenty of parking space and near to beach. Restaurant is neatly maintained and washrooms was neat. I came in expecting a feast, but what I got was a full-blown flavor explosion. The Samudra Sadya wasn’t just a meal it was a celebration of Kerala’s coastal soul. Every dish felt like a wave crashing onto the palate, bold and unforgettable. From the tangy pickles to the rich curries and the heavenly payasam, each bite was a masterstroke. The freshness of the seafood, the balance of spices, and the traditional presentation made it a truly immersive experience. Hats off to the chefs and the team—this Sadya didn’t just satisfy hunger, it stirred emotion. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to taste the sea and the spirit of Kerala in one sitting. We had the pleasure of dining with the support of a professional chef and well-equipped grill facilities, and overall, the experience was impressive. The grilled fish and Malabar fish curry were absolutely outstanding—beautifully prepared, bursting with authentic flavors, and presented with care. While the pricing leans on the higher side, the quality and taste fully justify it. The grilled chicken, however, didn’t quite match the standard of the seafood dishes and left room for improvement in terms of texture and flavor. That said, the staff were courteous, attentive, and very professional, which enhanced the overall experience. A great place if you're looking for top-tier seafood with refined preparation—especially the fish dishes. Highly recommended with just a small caveat for the grilled chicken.

I regularly visit the place as it’s a few 100 meters from Where I stay I ordered butter chicken that I had ordered in the past This time it was 3 pieces of uncooked chicken with more bone than meat One could not even cut the meat off the bone so hard or uncooked it was I brought it to the attention of the waiter who called the chef They said sorry and gave me a full 48 Rupees discount on the meal i hardly touched That’s an insult to say the least The owner should stop driving around in his black electric car and pay attention to his restaurant What type of response is this by the so called owner ?? What did you think ? I complained for nothing ?? I don’t know the owner/ manager / supervisor - I just see him flying with his electric car that’s been most of the times in charge at the restaurant Only the chef was sent to me . No manager came and no winner in sight 🚙 But all your customers heard me load and clearly but no manager heard anything? Just the chef and the poor waitress who I gave a generous tip to

Had a very nice Seafood Thali. It was an amazing experience with family. Totally recommending to all seafood lovers🦐. However the atmosphere of the restaurant can be improved.
