Bekal - Bangaluru India

I visited this restaurant on a weekend afternoon for lunch as I had a seafood craving. There is not much advertisement there is a homely feel to it. To be honest, I almost loved all of the items I've tried there. So, getting right to it I will list down my recommendations:<br/ <br/ 1) Crab Masala: the tangy masala is mouth watering the crabs are fresh, sweet juicy.<br/ 2) Karimeen Pollichathu: This fish preparation was the best I've had till date. There was a hint of smokiness in this the taste of the fish was marvellous.<br/ 3)Prawn Ghee Roast: not that spicy, but very very tasty!<br/ 4) Fishermen's meal: homely, fulfilling classic. Their jackfruit papad was just too good.<br/ 5) Konchu Thoran: Try it to believe it. If you love prawns coconut, this is for you.<br/ <br/ All the accompaniments were at par. However, I felt that the Kappa Biryani had too much tapioca practically no meat. I'd avoid that if I revisit.<br/ <br/ Apart from that, my 2 hours were very satisfying I'll definitely recommend a visit.<br/ <br/ I'll update my review in case I revisit.<br/ [hidden link]

If you want to have some hearty meal at a pocket friendly prices, then this is the place to be.<br/ <br/ On a Monday afternoon, it was a bit empty but we could relish the food without second thoughts. especially their crab, which is a must have by the way.<br/ <br/ The starters are quite decent,but the squid roast takes the cake.i know you will be looking what to have by now so here goes<br/ <br/ Crab masala<br/ Kappa biriyani<br/ Chicken stew with appam<br/ And<br/ <br/ Definitely the konchu thoran<br/

It's a good place with good quality and quantity food, my family had a good time and enjoyed the non veg option. Good place must try the kerala food, value for money as well.

Its just awsome place for all the mallus......the ambiance they provide is just amazing...all the foods they provide is also fantastic.......

An interesting place to grab Kerala food as it’s not the typical mess setup l and yet not fine dine. So it’s the perfect balance between closer to home food in a clean and neat atmosphere. <br/ <br/ Ambience: (5/5)<br/ I was surprised at how nice this place is inside. Extremely well lit and clean. The choice of artwork on the walls is nice as is the selection of lighting which is both beautiful and functional. There are seating options for as low as 4 and as many as 14 from what I could count. <br/ <br/ Food: (5/5)<br/ Firstly the food was prepared and brought out extremely quickly which made it great. Freshly prepared as you could taste that in the food. I had the Chicken biriyani and the meant polichadhu (meat cooked in a banana leaf). Both were very good and I would recommend to anyone considering them. The meat was cooked beautifully and the spices were just right to provide a nice spicy kick and yet not burn your tongue. The biriyani was a typical Kerala biriyani. It was a tad on the oily side towards the bottom of the bowl. So you can always leave that section of the bowl when eating it. <br/ <br/ Summary: (5/5)<br/ All in all I had a great experience here with the responsiveness of the staff (I would like to give a special mention to Rajesh who ensured my food was delivered quickly). Good food and a clean ambience. Not more to ask for.
