View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Boatman’s Cafe:
I keep visiting varkala and the shacks here. Boatmans cafe is right at the beginning of the cliff facing the sea. The view is great and there is ample amount of seating space. Recently I had ordered pasta(arabitta) along with ginger lime juice. The food was quite basic(the pasta was a bit oily), I liked the ginger lime juice. overall the food was ok and the service was decent. This place isnt too harah on the pockets... View all feedback.
