My TripAdvisor Review No.452: Kerala Cafe, Kalyani Nagar, Pune.

Authentic Kerala Food.


Kerala CafĂ© at Kalyani Nagar is located where ‘Tvum’ used to be earlier. There is new management and they specialize in Kerala food only, whereas Tvum had signature dishes from all regions of India. So it is a specialty restaurant and opened on 2nd November 2018. It is a very good concept in specialized dining.

They have various types of seating arrangements. There is open-air seating, a/c hall, and semi-open covered terrace on the mezzanine floor, where they have a bar as well. Service is courteous and professional and the food is served within 20 minutes of ordering.

We had fried papadams as starters and ordered Bangda (mackerel) Fry, Surmai (kingfish) Kerala Curry, appams, and Lemon Rice for the main course. We wanted to try Meen Curry but the steward warned us that it could be too spicy, so we opted for Kerala Curry instead, which was mildly spicy. We enjoyed the authentic Kerala taste. Food was served in traditional earthenware pots.

The seating was a bit uncomfortable without any cushioning on the wooden chairs, but the ambiance more than made up for it.
