It’s a small place. But people are flocking to this talk of the town seafood restaurant.

We went to this exclusive place on the container road in Kochi, Kerala, and were lucky to find seats without much waiting.

It’s a riot with seafood. You have them all, prepared in the traditional Kerala style. Sunu ordered crab meat and ‘Ayala Pollichath’ and I went for shrimp fry and natholi peera as special orders.

Served on fresh banana leaf, the steaming rice has thalkali koott, sambar, moru, aviyal , mathanga kari, naranga achar and other accompaniments all very tasty and authentic Kerala styled. There was even a payasam for desert.

And most surprising is the price. Just ₹630 ($9) for this feast for us two! ‘Are you sure you counted all’ I had to ask. The lady manager gave a beautiful smile.

I must mention the service. All managed by lovely ladies with charming smile and brimming with confidence. It’s worth going back for this alone.

Had a wonderful meal at an unbelievably low price. My consultant instinct will get me back there with a pricing proposal. Have the right price and at the right number to manage the crowd.
