Reviews Thattukada Kerala Fast Food

Very Good place to have a South Indian Food..Highly Recommended..

Love Keralan food loved this place, lots of variety, very reasonably priced, it's gets busy food can be bit of wait but totally worth it. My thali was only £4.99 and the appam was really lovely.

Good food..friendly staff...must hav is their appam and their thattukada special chicken...

I had their special "Kizhi Parotta(beef)", which was too good. Parotta was like the ones which we get from Kerala and the beef was also nice. Service was a bit slow as we waited for a long for the food and there were fewer staff also. Recommended for their 'Kizhi Parotta'.

I had the pleasure of experiencing the Vishu Sadhya and it was fantastic. The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. Their authentic South Indian dishes are highly recommended for anyone looking for a culinary adventure.

This was just a start, more to explore here. The chicken fry was superb in contrast to the prawns fry which dint tick the boxes. Looking forward to another visit for a full review

poor service, but food was very nice, authentic Malayalam cuisine. The menu was old so price was not matching. Would certainly recommend!

Update after today's visit (6 months after the initial review is separated at the bottom): A lot has changed, it seems a young energetic guy is at the forefront. The menus have also updated (the pics I attached are the old ones from the initial review). This guy is quite attentive and seems to handle a busy packed restaurant well. The menu is presented way better and we were able to customise the options (for example the parotta and appams which come as sets of 2..he said we can also order them as single pieces if we'd like, he's really good and explains everything nicely). The waiting times on the food is quite long...expect a 20 minute wait or even longer but still totally worth it! As for what I recommend...the Chicken Devilled, King Prawn Roast and Kerala Beef Roast (all of these are highly recommended). You need to pair those meats with some carbs so you should try these with Kerala Parotta (this will taste different to the Parottas you get from most Indian restaurants as those aren't done in the kerala style), Biriyani or Vella Appam...you actually want to try all 3 of these if possible so go with a few people so you can share. Unsure if it counts as a dessert but the milk Appam was sweet and delicious (my partner found it too sugary and a bit artificial in taste)...but I have no limits when it comes to sweetness in desserts so if you're like me then you'll like this...the milk we got wasn't sufficient so we asked for more and they brought it in a small tub (it's a type of sugary coconut milk with coconut pieces mixture)...to be honest that on its own was like a dessert for me and I just directly ate everything from the tub They don't have much of a drinks selection other than Chai and Lime juice but if you never had Indian Lime juice then make sure you give it a try as it's sweet and delicious (a must try) I've removed the recommendation of the Karimeen Pollichathu (fish), it was good and presented nicely but quite small for the price...gladly the cost was cheaper than what's stated on the menu but still very small (used to be several times the size many years ago). expect to eat with your hands which is normal there...a lot of the foods will probably be easier if you do as well. They won't bring cutlery unless you ask. Few things I'd like to see added is to have tissues at the tables ready, and also to have a tissue dispenser by the sinks to dry out hands after washing them. It runs a lot better than before, well done!! ___________________________ 6 months ago: ___________________________ Food is an easy 5 stars! definitely a must try but several things to keep in mind regarding the service... You won't get seated...you need to ask for each thing including a menu and water...I waited ages for the menu and they work with tunnel vision so you'll have many attempts to get their attention if you need anything. Also the menu prices aren't up to date. Regardless of the service the food is amazing, btw expect to eat with your hands which is normal there...a lot of the foods will probably be easier if you do as well. For the main I recommend the Chicken Devilled, King Prawn Roast, Kerala Beef Roast and Karimeen Pollichathu. You can have this with Kerala Parotta, Biriyani or Vella Appam. They don't have much of a drinks selection other than Chai and Lime juice but if you never had Indian Lime juice then make sure you give it a try as it's sweet and delicious.

If you crave for kerala style food it's good place to visit.
