Went to Black Pepper Lounge for the first time last night. I got to eat Kerala food that I haven't had since we visited my family in Kerala 13 years ago and it was delicious! I loved getting a chance to share this with my friends and family. We'll definitely be back!

On a trip from new England to Chicago, we had an opportunity to taste some absolutely delicious kerala food at Black pepper lounge. This cozy spot offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere and serves up truly authentic dishes. We indulged in Appam with veg stew, flavorful Kizhi porotta and fish pollichathu and grabbed chicken kothu porotta to go. Every bite was a celebration of traditional spices and homestyle cooking.
With plenty of parking and staff that’s both friendly...

Tried Black Pepper Lounge in Aurora for the first time and wow… Absolutely loved it! The beef dry fry was perfectly spiced and tender, the fish pollichathu had amazing flavor from the banana leaf, and the kizhi porotta was pure comfort. Cozy spot with friendly service — felt just like a taste of home in Kerala.
