I'd say as a Malayali that the food is just average, especially on the weekdays.
The snacks are mostly frozen and reheated and sometimes we've got them frozen inside also not heated all the way through.
Weekend specials like pothichoru , kothu porotta etc are good though so I'd recommend getting them.

This is the 3rd time I'm coming here just the Kottayam beef ularthu and poratta.
One of the Kerala style beef I have tasted in Ottawa. The pothichoru is also worth the money.
Highly recommended for the price and quality of the food.
Value for the money is good.

We ordered Chicken Biryani and Cutlets for a family gathering of 50 people and we are happy with both the quality & quantity of the food; it was delicious & the guests loved it.
The delivery was on time and food was packed well and stayed hot in time to serve everyone. Will definitely order again

I wanted to share our experience from last weekend when we ordered two Onam Sadhyas. Unfortunately, we were quite disappointed, especially on such an auspicious occasion. Here are a few points we would like to highlight:

1. Portion Size:The container sizes, particularly for the curries, were quite small. It seemed like they were about 2 oz or 4 oz, and they weren't even filled completely. Given the price, we were expecting more generous portions.

2. Temperature of the Food: The food was served cold, as if it had just been taken out of the fridge. We understand that preparing food in advance for such large orders can be challenging, and it's normal for it to not be hot. However, receiving it ice-cold was a big letdown.

3. Quantity:The portion of payasam was so small that we didn’t get a chance to fully enjoy it. We even asked if we could purchase additional containers, but we were told that wasn’t an option, which was disappointing.

4. Value for Money: At $26 per Sadhya (plus tax), we paid nearly $60 for a meal that neither filled our stomachs nor brought the joy we were hoping for. We understand that pricing can vary, but for this amount, we expected larger portions and a better experience overall.

We really hope this feedback can help improve future Sadhyas, especially for such significant festivals where people are looking forward to a hearty meal. We are happy to support and pay for the quality and quantity that justifies the price, but unfortunately, this time, it felt like we didn’t get good value for the money spent.

Thank you for taking the time to consider our feedback, and we hope for a better experience next time.

Sincerely,
