Aavi Restaurant

The place offers very authentic and delicious Kerala cuisine. We went in on Sunday, probably due to the crowding and our timings, many items in the list were not available. Also, by the time our orders came any additional requirement was not met due to scarcity of item. Not happy with that but otherwise the food is great.

Ordered their appam and chicken stew. This was for my guest in Kochi. Their manager Mr Ranjit who coordinated everything did a fantastic job. It was sent on time. Got a good feedback from my guest on the taste and quality of the breakfast.

A chic restaurant famous for local Kerala cuisine.It is expensive when compared to the other restaurants in its class. Don't go for their local cuisine dishes especially fish.

Food is quite good and the space is cozy & comfortable. They have plenty of authentic Kerala cuisine that tastes absolutely homely.

Mouth watering Ila Pothi Malabar Erachi Choru.ud83cudf7dufe0fn‘A nostalgic cuisine from God’s own country’, ‘A nostalgic journey to our childhood days’. Google ‘pothichoru’ and those lines pop up. What is it about the pothichoru that whets your appetite and makes your mouth water at the very mention of it? Perhaps, the magic lies in its simplicity – hot, steamed rice and curries, chutneys and pickles wrapped in slightly toasted banana leaves ( vattiya ila in local parlance). That was how many people in Kerala used to pack a taste of home to take to schools, colleges and workplaces a long time ago. Remember that appetising aroma that wafts up when you open it during lunch time? Somehow the same meals packed in sterile lunch boxes never taste the same. Perhaps that is why there are many takers for this homely meal packed in banana leaves. Nostalgia is the other name for this food parcel. But now this common man’s all-in-one lunch packet is going places, having become an integral part of the menu of many upmarket hotels and restaurants.The pothichoru served in restaurants packs a surprise as each is different. It is a guessing game for hungry customers. Usually, it is simple fare: rice, a vegetable dish (a thoran), a curry, an omelette or a fish fry and a pickle or chutney. A pappadam is a luxury. But the elaborate pothichoru that one gets at the restaurants leaves you spoilt for choices. The taste lies in the slightly toasted banana leaf.
