I rarely leave negative reviews, but after three visits over the last five months, I feel this is justified. Unfortunately, the quality has declined with every visit. 1.Parotta: It wasn't flaky at all. It was soggy and lacked the texture a good Kerala parotta should have. 2.Appam: It was unusually sweet. I'm not sure if that's their style, but it didn't taste like a traditional appam. 3.Chicken Vindaloo: This was the biggest disappointment. It tasted as if an entire bottle of vinegar had been poured into the gravy. The tomatoes had already made it sour, and the excessive vinegar made it almost inedible. 4.Egg Curry: It was bland and lacked flavor. Egg curry with appam is usually one of the best combinations, but this turned out to be one of the worst I've had. 5.Beef Dry Fry: It was below average and didn't stand out in any way. 6. Beef Briyani - It was very average and lacked the rich flavor I expected. I didn't enjoy it. The only saving grace was the Kerala Chicken Fry, which was good. When this restaurant operated on the ground floor, the food was much tastier and more consistent. Since moving to the larger space, it feels like the taste and quality have been compromised. I'm writing this review after giving the restaurant multiple chances over the last five months. Sadly, each visit has been worse than the previous one. I genuinely hope they focus on improving their food quality and consistency.
Loved the food. Authentic kerala taste. Beef fry. Fish polichathu... fresh and delicious. Chatti chor is highlight fish chicken and beef with so many vegetables 😋

MenuthereWe are writing this feedback based on our recent experience at Travancore Kerala Restaurant in Kelambakkam. Earlier, when the restaurant was operating on the ground floor, the food quality was excellent. In fact, the main reason we visited this restaurant multiple times was because of the authentic taste and quality of the food. It had become one of our preferred places, especially for Kerala cuisine. Now, after expanding and shifting to the first floor with a bigger space, it feels like only the space has improved, while the food quality has gone down drastically. During our recent visit, we tried mutton biryani, chicken biryani, and prown biryani, and unfortunately all of them were very disappointing. The biryani rice felt very ordinary, almost like regular Ponni rice, and lacked the taste, aroma, and standard that the restaurant was known for earlier. The mutton biryani was particularly disappointing, and the chicken biryani, which earlier used to have a unique flavour similar to Jeera rice style, has now become very poor in quality. The pricing remains high, but the quality no longer justifies the cost. Earlier, the restaurant stood out because of its food quality and authenticity. Now it feels like the focus has shifted more toward expansion and business, while the original food standard has been compromised. As Kerala food lovers living in Chennai, we always look for restaurants that serve authentic Kerala cuisine, and this restaurant used to be one of those places we trusted. That is why this change is especially disappointing. We are sharing this feedback sincerely because many customers visit expecting the same quality the restaurant was once known for. While one or two dishes may still be acceptable, most of what we tasted during this visit was far below the earlier standard. We genuinely hope the management takes this feedback seriously and brings back the original taste and quality that made this restaurant special.
Been a regular customer of this restaurant since ever I relocated to Kelambakkam in 2024. They used to serve the best Malabar Biryani, Fried one was always my fav but with time the taste has gotten worst. Visited again on this Sunday, Biryani felt like boiled rice with boiled chicken. Sad to see my fav food hub loosing its identity because of decreasing food quality. Price increased but quality got destroyed. Just a constructive feedback, hope u good will bounce back soon.
