Restaurant that serves fish based dishes. There is sufficient parking space available. The food was just good. A bit on the pricey side compared to the portion sizes. Good place for lunch near Edapally.
The meals was excellent....got prawns fry and duck roast as sides, it was excellent. Nice ambience and it is priced cheaply given the parking and overall service.
It's a branch of the Periyar restaurant that is adjacent to the varappuzha bridge. Much less crowded, ample parking space, lots of seating yet same fantastic food. If you want to crib you might say that there's no backwater view. Primarily seafood menu, they will serve you a vegetarian meal if you want but that's missing the point of the restaurant. Would consider the prawns fry and karimeen curry as their best options. Tiger prawns roast is another excellent item. The only non seafood items on the menu are duck roast and chicken fry. It's best to go as a group and mix and match and share the dishes so that you get to try a wide variety of items.
Decent place. Biriyani must be tried during lunch time hot as the taste is different as it becomes cold. Porotta and beef fry are good. I would rate them good but not excellent. The staff are very cordial and friendly. Support Many women employees - good. Sitting arrangements are good.
Visited for lunch. The staff was very friendly and smiling. Once you visit and are seated they place the meal in front of u . I opted for a meal daughter opted for appam. They offered the entire selection of lunch menu. They serve fish clams duck . Fish is served fried roasted or curry. We ordered tilapia fry prawns roast and duck roast. Food was very good. Need to visit their main restaurant. They have 3 outlets in varapuzha.
Nice ambience best quality and quantity food tharavu roast supper and decent pricing more space for parking staff behaviour is also best
