Kaayal — Restaurant in Bengaluru

I was planning to go here since ages. Today evening, I was their first customer and the place looked so calm and serene. They had put on Cricket match and I picked a spot where I could see hustle bustle of Jeevan Bima Nagar. Ordered deep fried squid, Meen Curry, Appam and Parotta. Everything was so so delicious, but I especially loved Squid. It was not overdone, and was chewy enough. That preparation had base of finely chopped onions, tomatoes and ginger with the hint of Pepper and it was lovely. They serve you warm Jeera water instead of regular water, which doesn't let you overeat and helps with digestion too. Utensils used were squeaky clean and the boys waiting the tables were fresh and pleasant. They did not have that stale look that most of the guys waiting the tables have and I liked this bit. Washbasin area was clean as well, equipped with handwash and tissues.

Loved this whole experience. Will visit again for sure.

Other things that I tried (and were equally delicious) are Mathi Fry and Chemmeen Roast. Chemmeen Roast is Prawns prepared in thick solid gravy of Onions and Tomatoes. It's little bit on the saltier side, so you might want to go easy...

The restaurant is good to get authentic Kerala dishes. Most of the cuisines are available at Kaayal like the basic Kerala Porotta, Kerala Meals, Ghee rice and Biryani as well. We ordered Beef Roast, Porotta and Ghee rice, but the only thing we didn't like is that the beef roast served was cold and was not exactly the beef roast which seemed more of a beef curry. Also the Ghee rice to was cold but the Porotta was very fresh hot and fluffy which was very nice of all the item's we ordered. The overall pricing was fair for all the other restaurants we have the near by locality. For all of these we had to pay 650 for 4 people which was pretty decent for the quality and quantity they served. The beef roast quantity was very less even though we ordered 2 of them. So while ordering should be careful with that.

Also they don't have enough parking space so should be careful while visiting the place. The ambience is very neat and cool they keep place always clean and they play good Malayalam musics which gives...

Just wish to try out some good quality kerala food. So stepped in here on a Saturday night. We heard a lot of thumbs ups about their kerala style beef fry. The hotel is an authentic kerala restaurant. So I have opted for some sea and non veg dishes. At first we ordered chicken fry to start our eating journey. The dish presented in style, chicken is fresh and tender not chewy as the cooking process was correctly done. Since the oil was used fish fry was used to fry this also. So we are able to sense the fish smell, but chicken taste good indeed. Then we have ordered kothu parotta and chicken biryani. Parotta is soft and taste good; they have marinated it well enough with exact ingredients. So, the taste good and the quantity are sufficient enough for one person. Chicken biryani is exclusive Kerala style. Chicken and rice were cooked properly. Bon...
