Cochin - Menu

I came here an early dinner and place was quiet. Service was prompt and my order was quickly taken. The malqbar prawn briyani was tasty. They also have a 59% discount promo on the southern Indian komban beer.

Booked a table for six people for 8pm tonight. It was my sister's birthday and I wanted to take her out to dinner. I got an email confirming my booking last week but when we turned up the restaurant was closed. No cancellation, no warning, nothing. Thanks guys, great service!

This is our third visit to this restaurant, we go quite early with our daughter and this is the only place where she has genuinely enjoyed the food. And so have we! Great dishes and really tasty food! It doesn’t get too busy which is great for us, the ambience is very calm and we never feel rushed to order or eat our food. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

I took my mother for Sunday lunch. We were booked for 1pm and arrived slightly early. The restaurant was empty. The staff seemed a bit bemused but were friendly. The restaurant was very poorly lit. We ordered some food my mum's dish arrived several minutes before mine and the starters much later. The tandoori chicken was the last to arrive. We couldn't finish our meal so had it packed. Whrn I got the chicken home I realised the following day it was raw.

We’ve been ordering from Cochin every single week and don’t get me wrong, the food is good. But the level of service is horrendous. We’ve ordered on uber and after more than one hour of wait the order was cancelled. We called the restaurant to understand what happened and where was our order, and we overheard the manager say “if it’s a small order don’t bother just hang up” and they just hanged!! We are appalled by the service especially as we are regular customers.

The food was tasty although the naan bread and onion bhaji never materialised and the biriani does not come with a vegetable curry just some yogurt. Service was very poor as the restaurant was being run by 2 inexperienced and patronising people who didnt seem to grasp the need to serve their customers. There were long gaps between order and delivery and we had to help the waiter remove the starter plates as he hadnt cleared them away before he brought the main course items that were available. Go to Rani you know what you are getting there and will get a curry with your biriani rice! A party of 7 walked out as there was no bread at all,

My order was a take away. I am a Malayalee, that means I am from the state of Kerala and Cochin is a city in that state. So, obviously I order food (Malabar Chicken Biryani and Nadan chicken curry) from this place expecting it to reasonably resemble Malayalee food. I guess that is a reasonable expectation to have. The biryani was, at best, a good chicken curry and rice mixture. I am a connoisseur of biryani and I can’t imagine the gall of the restaurant to sell that claiming it to be a Malabar chicken biryani. My advice to other people seeking traditional Malayalee food. This is not the place. It is definitely a good curry place. Not much different from other run off the mill high street cur...

My Malabar lamb biryani was delicious, if short on lamb for the money, and the piping hot garlic and coriander naan acceptable. The manageress was lovely: welcoming and funny. But she said the Thalis were off (not good for somewhere that celebrates South Indian cuisine). And the 'bottomless beer ' offer only referred to just out of date 'Komban premium black IPA ' and 'that was the only beer they had. ' I didn 't like it. So much for the list on the menu. I didn 't mention the boxes of Cobra I could see next to the drinks chiller cabinet. Also apparently they didn 't have any of the cocktails. The atmosphere was a bit sad, with rather melancholy music and bad lighting. A group of ball lampsh...
