One of Good Malayali Restaurants in Ajman. The appam and chicken stew , BDF are absolute must-tries. Tried their Paalkappa-Beef combo (15AED) Normally not crowded. Good for families and friends.

The food was delicious with great variety, and all our guests loved it. The service was wonderful—attentive, friendly, and professional throughout the event. Highly recommend this restaurant for any special occasion!

Very nice kerala cuisine. Very clean and tidy restaurant. Staffs are very friendly and polite. Various sweets and old nostalgic candies /chocolates available in the reception area. Ample space available to sit indoor & outdoor. Clean washroom. Chicken Roast is a must try. Fish mango curry was very good. Various juices are available. Party hall is also there. Various food options are available. Parking is not easy to find near the restaurant as most of them are kacha free parking spaces. For a safer side, its better to park on the Municipality parking.

Great restaurant with very delicious kerala style food. Lot of snacks are also available if you are heading out for a tea. Nice ambience and a family vibe during lunch hours. Special mention for the "pothuchoru" or rice meal which is served in banana leaf as a lunch meal.
