Lonely Planet manager had given warmth welcome. Hidden behind the first row of hotels and restaurants is this gem. Being a carnivore I was a little reluctant to go here but after the first lunch we had here I actually suggested we go back for lunch next day and wasn't disappointed again. We ate their specialties and weren't disappointed. Vegetarian food taste is away some. Nice atmosphere for dining there as located near a Lilly pond. We have eaten here quite often and in general the food is excellent quality. There are a few problems with the restaurant however. The service can be very slow when they are busy, so I recommend you get there early for lunch or dinner. The conversion of the paddy fields into a pond has been a great idea, and with that, the atmosphere is rather special. Just that they somehow have failed to capitalize on their potential. Nonetheless, this remains a very good restaurant, and I can certainly recommend it's food. I particularly enjoyed their Veg Kadai.

We recently visited this restaurant with high expectations of enjoying some delicious vegetarian food, but it turned out to be a major disappointment. The location was not ideal, tucked away at the back of the beach area, requiring us to navigate through a dark alley to get there. Upon arrival, we found only one staff member who was responsible for billing and serving food to the tables. We approached him three times, asking for the menu, and each time he told us to sit down and wait. Unfortunately, after a long and frustrating 20 minutes, we still hadn't received the menu, and the staff member seemed disinterested in attending to us. In the end, we decided to leave, and to our surprise, two other families also followed suit. I would strongly advise against visiting this restaurant, especially if you're a North Indian seeking a satisfying dining experience. The lack of service and the overall experience left us deeply dissatisfied.

Pure veg restaurant in kovalam, perfect location near pond, which is full of lotus,full greenery, I took some awesome pictures of that place. not exactly on beach road but back side of beach road, take a lane next to Germany bakery . Walking distance from beach. Food is tasty. We ordered masala dosa, veg noodles ( super yummy), cheesy macroni ,roasted potato with cheese, Allo parantha( okay in taste). Staff was super friendly . Chill environment. Indian Bollywood music in background. Casual place with best ambience, ND tasty veg restaurant in kovalam.

We went here 2 times. 1st time was for dinner. I must say the location is beautiful. Sitting by the lotus pond having dinner, was just a wonderful feeling. We reached there late but they served us, which was a good feeling. That's why we decided to visit next day on breakfast. Ordered some Jaffas (As we wanted to try something else from South Indian), but they were disappointing quantity as well quality wise. Our other order also came late & didn't receive much staff support. Hence, we never went there again afterwards.

This was such a pleasant surprise! The variety of vegetables and the simplicity and perfection in preparing them was just mind boggling to see at a restaurant which also looks so good, with a beautiful lily pond right next to it! I've never seen banana flower, beetroot, raw banana, long beans, avial etc in just one section of a restaurant's menu, and all of them made so we'll! So was the pumpkin khichadi! Absolutely love this place and strongly recommend eating here if you like simple but exceptional vegetarian food.

The food and ambiance were lovely. I ordered palaak paneer, which was flavorful, along with ghee rice. I finished with a banana shake. We had ordered starters of cream of tomato soup and garlic, paneer naan, but they both came out after the entrees. The tomato soup wasn't very creamy, and it was just ok. The naan was better than what I can get back home in the US. I recommend this restaurant for good vegetarian food that will satisfy all food preferences. They do not serve alcohol here.
