Kitchen utopia — Restaurant in Kerala

This place went unnoticed during the day on our way to the hotel. But at night, the lights on the terrace caught our attention. Kitchen Utopia Cafe is situated on the terrace. Selection of lights is such that it enlivens the ambience. When it came to ordering food, Pumpkin Soup was highly recommended by the owner of the restaurant. Along with that we ordered Hot Ginger Lime and Honey, Chicken 65, Roti, Kerala Parotha and Rajma Masala. Hot Ginger Lime and Honey was a relief for my sore throat. Pumpkin soup was creamy and delicious and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the restaurant. Kerala Parothas were soft and went really well with the home cooked style Rajma Masala. Rotis were a bit hard though. Loved the Chicken 65 preparation as well. When it came to service, we were informed prior to placing our order that they would require 15-20 minutes for preparing our order. Service was quick and all the food items were brought in while still hot. The owner and waiter were friendly and polite. The food portions were pretty good considering the prices. A great time accompanied by great food is how I would summarize our visit to Kitchen Utopia Cafe. Cheers!

Edit1 - Decided to dine in at Utopia for lunch for one last time. We wanted to try out new food items. So we went ahead with Paneer 65, Kerala Fish Fry for starters and Chicken Biriyani, Veg Fried Rice as Main Course. Special Lime Soda and Kerala Style Buttermilk is what we opted for to beat Thekkady's heat. Paneer 65 was fried to a nice crisp on the outside with the soft texture of Paneer retained on the inside. 2 Tilapia fishes is what we got for Kerala Fish Fry garnished with loads of fried Garlic and Currry Leaves. Chicken Biriyani was tasty and very similar to what mum makes at home. Veg Fried Rice isn't the typical ones you get elsewhere and was slightly high on Soy Sauce. Special Lime Soda had Basil Seeds in it along with a bit of Special Syrup (It tasted like Nannari). Truly glad we returned to Kitchen Utopia Cafe for the second...

Had been for dinner today. Awesome ambience! A well designed, fresh feeling roof top. Ordered some chicken kadai and beef steaks. A bit different from the regular kadai masala. Probably the chef displayed a high range touch. Could taste and smell the fresh spices. Was tasty. The beef steaks with mashed potatoes and pepper sauce was yummy. Rightly priced food. Overall a pleasant experience. Oh, the hosts were just great. Best wishes kitchen...

Great taste. Yummy food. And a peaceful ambience - with greenery as accents. It was a little tough to spot the place on Google maps. And then we realized that the entry is from a small path goes inside from the road which has car access You have to park the...
