Salmon Pollichathu.
This was our second visit to Kerala Café. After a trip to Kerala earlier in the year we were again keen to have Fish Pollichathu, fish marinated in a signature spicy masala, then wrapped in banana leaf and slow cooked.
Being a Sunday we had reserved a table and were given a table in the a/c section. The seating was comfortable and the ambience was nice. We first ordered drinks, with a masala papad as starter and quickly ordered the main dish as well thinking that it will take a while to cook the Pollichathu. The masala papad was served in a jiffy. After about 15 minutes of waiting for our drinks we were surprised to be served our main dish. We had to return it to the kitchen and ask for our drinks first. The masala papad had gone limp by then. After finishing our drinks we asked them to reheat and serve the Pollichathu. At least the Appams were fresh and hot.
The restaurant still has a good traditional Kerala ambience with some greenery and plants at the entrance. Apart from the a/c hall, there is an open air seating area on the ground floor and a semi open covered terrace and bar on the mezzanine floor. Valet parking is available. The service is courteous but the waiters are not properly trained.
The menu is specialised in Kerala food both veg and non-veg. Fish dishes are tasty and authentic. Chicken and mutton dishes are served, but instead of beef they serve buff (buffalo). The restaurant is worth visiting if you love the taste of Kerala.
