The
dearth of fish in Bangalore makes us crave for authentic kerala seafood
delicacies. This prompted us to check out kumarakom for an early
dinner. The ambience and music immediately brought us back to kerala and
gave us that homely feeling. Bangalore is awesome but our birthplace is
even more special and any reminders of the same give us a sense of
happiness. The only negative to the ambience was the lighting. I felt
there should have been a re-arrangement of the lamps used to light up
the dining tables. I found it extremely difficult to read the menu.
Ok enough of the background chatter. Let me get into the food. We ordered a beef fry, soma malabar porotta and appam along with malabar meen curry and karimeen pollichathu. The food was tasting yummy and really made me miss my mom's cooking. Of course nothing can beat my mom's food. The portion of curry was slightly less for the order of porrotta and appam. So we had to order fish molly which was pretty good too. The only negative was the salty karimeen pollichathu. All in all a lovely place to take folks who love "naadan bhakshanam". Kumarakom is definitely a place I would like to visit often.
My rating :
Ambience - 4/5
Service - 3.5/5 (The guys need to smile a bit more and feel happy doing their job)
VFM - 4/5
Food Quality - 4/5
