Kayees Rahmathulla Cafe - Fort Cochin

I keep recalling this Biriyani restaurant very often and comes in every food discussion I’ve had with my malalayi friends. I absolutely love the platter they serve- Biriyani and a couple of chutnys and papad it’s for those that love mild biriyanis.

Kayees stands out as a renowned biryani spot in Kochi, typically bustling with crowds that may require a wait for a table. A decade ago, I enjoyed their biryani almost every week, finding it exceptional. However, in recent times, I sense that the quality has slightly declined compared to the past. Despite this, it remains a good choice and continues to be among the best in Kochi.

No parking space , I had chicken biryani , I don't see the hype the people rushing to the hotel to get biriyani. I too went there watching a food vlog. As mentioned in the vlog the food was not up to the mark , one of the worst biriyani I have ever had. The masala is too much , the chicken is well cooked fall of the bone type. Over all the the hype is utter watse of time. And priced around 180₹ not worth it for the money. I have had much better biriyani for just 130 rupees and it was unlimited.

Jam packed , serves mouth watering food , especially beef roast and ghee rice.

We ordered Mutton biryani, chicken fry, ghee rice, beef fry and porotta.
