BayRoute Bistro — Restaurant in Kerala

This is a late review but much needed. However, I tried to avoid it, i felt i was not doing right. So here is my honest review of the restaurant. This was overly hyped place (could be because we ordered veg food), however, this should not be the reason for them to make bad food. Food we ordered: Bread Bowl Soup - this is was an extremely hyped item and totally worthless. Too cheesy and absolutely no flavor at all. Could have made it better. INR180 is a high price IMO. Honey Chilly Potato & Crispy Fried Veg in hot garlic sauce - though the name is different and 2 different items, THERE WAS NO DIFFERENCE IN TASTE AND THEY LOOKED EXACTLY THE SAME. INR190 AND INR 180 respectively - i felt i was cheated. Aloo Gobi - was good compare to what other items we had ordered. Atleast it was worth paying INR230. Wheat Parota - good. Sizzling Brownie with ice cream - absolute rubbish - its served on piping hot wooden plate and because of that the chocolate sauce as burnt, the brownie was so hard and horrible - the entire dish left a burnt and weird taste for a desert. This was my birthday dinner with mom last month and I would not recommend anyone to go there for veg food.

Few other things that I noticed in this place - the main entrance door is too tiny and very hard, when we reached the restaurant, there were 4 employees sitting at the counter and they saw I was struggling opening the door, but no one really came to help. (I am a right had person and my right hand has tendonitis because of which I cannot put too much pressure, so had to use my left had, hence the difficulty.) In restaurant, the most attractive thing is the entrance but if the door was so small, i think i might have lost my interest right there. To add, when none of them came to help, it put me off. Secondly, their menu was like reading for a medical exam, too big and too confusing.

Service was excellent, Atmosphere was very comforting, they have a...

Pleasant ambience. Good food . Sits slightly heavy on your pocket, so it would cost you atleast INR 800for two people. they claim to be a multi cuisine restaurant so we tried Nasi goreng from Asian cuisine. The dish is a full meal on its own . Generously strewn with scrampled eggs and chicken pieces and served with a fried egg ( we caught egg shells in this fry ) It turned out to be quite good. Under continental we tried Some De Pollo chicken dish which was a bread crumbs chicken with boiled veggies on the side and a cream sauce. The chicken wasn't succulent , bread crumbs breast was rather rubbery, over cooked chicken. The cream sauce was ok. But I would never order that again. Beef steak was our second option in continental. The sauce can be better. It was slightly too tangy for our taste. Potatoes are not the creamy non-lumpy versions you would imagine. There is significant room for improvement. On kerala dishes -Dum biriyani was yumm. Mediterranean dishes were not available , and we were dissapointed for that. Might return another day to tey this out. For starters we tried bread bowl soup, cream of tomato soup and west lake Chinese soup. Bread bowl comes in a bread which can be consumed with some gravy dishes. Cream of tomato was good. We're not sure if what we ate was the west Chinese lake soup as the one served was with coconut milk and it had curry leaves in it which wasn't what you expect in a Chinese soup. Chicken teriyaki is a must try. Honey potatoes was ok, but can be missed. For dessert we had white chocolate raspberry delight. This is a non baked cream cheese cake. It is very rich . It is similar to the Betty crocker easy make cheese cakes in a box. Brownie ice cream sizzler is more fulfilling to the eye than gastronomical. We enjoyed the experience. Passion fruit mojito and strawberry mojitos were...

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful hotel and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, making me feel right at home.

The rooms were spacious, beautifully designed and impeccably clean. The comfortable beds and pillows ensured a great night's sleep, and the blackout curtains ensured complete darkness for a peaceful rest. Additionally, the stunning views from the room of the bustling city below were an added bonus.

The food at the hotel was simply delicious. The breakfast buffet was a delightful spread of fresh and healthy options as well as traditional favorites. The restaurant served some of the best meals I have had in a long time. The menu offered a wide range of cuisine, expertly prepared by the talented chefs.

The ambience of the hotel was simply outstanding. The decor was modern and chic, while the common areas had a warm and inviting feel.

The location of the hotel was truly unbeatable. It was situated right in the heart of the city, making it incredibly convenient for exploring all the local attractions. I was able to easily walk to some of the best restaurants, shops, and entertainment in the area.

I would like to mention that the receptionist Pranav was very kind , humble and helpful ...he arranged us the backwaters boat and also told us what all places to visit in alleppey.

Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a luxurious and comfortable stay in the heart of the city. The service, rooms, food, ambience, and location were all exceptional and I would definitely give this hotel a well-deserved...
