It's been several months since we were there, and were unimpressed. I doubt we'll be back, except by accident. Mango Lassi (best thing we had) Butter Chicken (ok) & Curry Vegetables (meh) Fish Curry (cold and not good) & Mutter Paneer (ok) Parathas (undercooked & not flakey) No diet soda

Visited on a Wednesday I think. Staff treated us so kindly. Reminds me of a place in New York I liked to visit.

I really wanted to like this place. The owner, Thomas is very nice. I got the butter chicken, veg and paratha. They have Kerala parathas which I've missed! Not a ton of places make these.. it tends to be more labor intensive. Something sharp was in the food. I had a scratch or something lodged in my throat the last 2 days after my meal. The butter chicken sauce was grainy and tasted off. So unfortunate!

Good food. I like mango yogurt. It's really good !!!!! Kerala paratha (bread) is so yamy

Tasty food, with a very homely feel. Person in charge is very kind, and does his best with limited people to help him. We enjoyed the kerala rice and parotta, with chicken curry and lamb curry. Will visit again soon

Authentic tasting Kerala food in the San Jose area. We tried the avial, fish curry, lamb. You can either order the rice or substitute for 2 Kerala parottas. The parottas are ok. Service is slow though.

Stopped by after work and ordered the butter chicken and the lamb to go. The butter chicken was watery and the lamb was just ordinary. You get a side of vegetables with each order-- those too were just okay. They ran out of naan and the cashier tried to sell me on the parathas being better. I should've have known; definitely NOT better... The best thing about this restaurant is that food is cheap, but I still wouldn't recommend it.
Excellent food and service. The owner had great suggestions on vegan options. I got vegetable korma vegan style with vegan paratha and roti. All of it was very filling and delicious. I wish I could move them out to my area! Hopefully one day I can try the chana masala, but they were out so I'll have to wait until next time!

Food was frozen, the worker legit asked us what we wanted and came back out in less than 1 min with our food. Most likely microwaved premade food and drink as well was most likely premade. My stomach started hurting right away after leaving the store. The butter chicken didn't even taste like actual butter chicken. Out of all indian food stores ive tried this by far the worst. You can even hear the microwave from the outside!

We had been to spice n flavor for onam sadhya , when I was standing waiting for my seat I felt there was no place for people to walk around and serve comfortably . When we got place to sit and started our sadhya it took a while for them to realize they need to serve us and half the items were not served and being non malyali I did not know the names of the dishes to even ask for it . Sambar was so thick , trust me I have had Kerala sambar before and it was no way like that . My husband waited fir rice on his second serve fir a long time and he just folded his leaves and went to wash his hands . At the end we waited for the payasam ,though they gave us after we called them and requested. I wish they had divided the waiters to certain tables and should have told them to take care of it until everything is served

Simple tasty food. They serve one veg and one meat in their curry boat with rice or roti(wheat flour) or porotta(Enriched flour). I asked for shrimp curry for meat. The sauce was made with special masala powder. It was delicious. And the pineapple pachadi, which was the veg of the day was very very special. The pachadi was made with yoghurt and some masala powder.

Excellent service and delicious food. Staff are friendly and helpful. Wide variety of authentic Kerala style dishes available. Loved fish, lamb and chicken dishes. Lassi was nice. Reasonably priced menu.
