kaayal... a mediocre restaurant for kerala cuisine

Kaayal is a Kerala cuisine restaurant on Jeevan Bima Nagar main road.  Small place bang on the road and offers a small glimpse of Kerala with its interiors.

An average place to be if you want to eat Kerala cuisine. We have tried pathiri, kappa-meen, kochi roast, karimeen fry, neymeen fry, Kerala parota and so on. The basic gravy remains more or less same though. Fish fry has been good most of the times.

Not close to the typical home made taste though...this is our hangout when we want to eat nada an food and are in no mood to look out for a new joint :)

Kolkata Kitchen

This small eat-out close to our place is a nice little eat out. For all those who love bengali cuisine, or are yet to try it...do visit this place. What caught our attention the very first time we went there about 2 years ago, was the interiors. It does take you back to kolkata (...showing off my 5 month stay in the city of joy ;)


The katha design table cloth, slow music, a loud display of anything and everything from kolkata and the most interesting the collage of amazing sign boards. We have tried many of the things on their menu, but my all time favourite is the Khicudi that they serve only on saturdays. Jeev feasts on the macher jhol and special fish thali. The veg thali too is interesting with panch meshali and aaloo posto. The sting of the mustard paste in the posto is just too good.

After a hearty meal do not forget to taste the desserts....my all time favourite is the mishti doi...though i miss the kullad that it is served in back in kolkata...but the taste is pretty much the same..

we are yet to try the roll club, a new outlet of theirs on Jeevan Bima Nagar main road...for now its just the same tried and tested place that we can go to any day of the week.

Rajdhaani...get ready for a flavour riot

Have you been here yet..if not its like going to a wedding. The food here is Gujarati/Rajasthani...pooris fried in ghee, loads of sabzis, 3 kinds of daal, khichudi with loads of ghee and the sweets in ghee again. For a ghee freak like me this is the place to be.

The service is exemplary. With loads of people pouring in over the weekend, the service remains at its best. I always feel like a wedding coz they keep getting back asking if we need anything more, another roti..some more sabzi..daal and so on..I am always sad that i did not eat enough ;)

This remains at an all time high on my list of favourite eat-outs here in bangalore.
