About this restaurant

Dishes from India’s southernmost coastline get the spotlight at this spot from veteran restaurateur Salil Mehta (Laut, Singapura, and Wau) and Kebab Aur Sharab’s Dipesh Shinde. That means delicately fried curd rice croquettes and mussels, and airy hoppers, best eaten with generous helpings of Sri Lankan curried crab sukka.

My recent experience at Kanyakumari left much to be desired. While the ambiance was pleasant and the wait staff attentive, the high prices for underwhelming portions of lackluster food fell short of expectations. The Vada Pav and Duck Roast appetizers were mediocre, and the main dishes like the Amma Mess Fish Curry and Seafood Gassi were lackluster. The Seafood Gassi, in particular, had sparse seafood portions and a a single tough unpeeled shrimp. The Coconut Payasam failed to meet expectations, resembling more of a simple mix of condensed milk and pineapple rather than the traditional coconut payasam. **Overall Impression:** Kanyakumari's saving grace is its attractive ambiance and attentive service. However, the high prices, small portions, and subpar taste of the dishes left much to be desired. For those seeking an authentic Indian culinary experience, this restaurant may not live up to expectations.

It was crowded given that it was Valentine’s day .. Had to wait half an hour before seated . The food was really good and delicious. We tried Bonda , Guruprasad Dosa and Malvani Chicken with Malabar Parota . Liked Bonda and chicken very much . Dosa was super crispy but a bit oily . Didn’t like sambhar and chutneys was expecting better taste .. Overall it was really good experience and certainly visit again to try few more options ..Increase vegetarian options in large plates please ..
