Delicious Kerala Kitchen - Stafford

I was really excited to discover a Keralite restaurant. I ordered beef biryani, dry beef with coconut, kingfish curry, chicken nadan curry, avial, seviyan (vermicelli dessert), and Kerala porottas. The last three dishes were outstanding, but the first ones seemed to fall short.

I visited a week before Onam and the only option available was Sadya. I was excited to find a Malayali restaurant to bring some friends who were trying Kerala food for the first time. The food was decent, but nothing particularly outstanding. I was also disappointed with the imitation plantain leaves used for serving.

The food was good, but the overall experience was disappointing due to unprofessional behavior and poor customer service. There were issues of discrimination and unhygienic conditions as well. During the Onam Sadya, the rice was served cold, and the curries were ice cold, as if they had come straight from the refrigerator. There was no drinking water available, and the moru curry was stale and had a foul smell. The sambar was unappetizing, thick like cake, lacking sweetness and only containing dal. The portion of the lonely (traditional accompaniment) was less than a tablespoon, and the staff member was rude when I asked for more sambar. I will definitely not be returning!

Ordered meals and was extremely satisfied with thoran, Mango Pickle, fish curry that came with him. Fish roast was so good. Come back. The meals were in large quantities and were filled.

Highly recommend this place for Kerala food. The couple that runs this restaurant is very accommodating and friendly. Clean and well maintained. Good food and good quality. I come here all the way from Austin just to have some fish curry meals. Their parotta is really soft and flaky. Fish fry, beef cutlets, meals... All really good.
