During my four days of visit at Kovalam had dinner on first night at this place but the warm hospitality by Mr. Pravin wand the taste quality of food made me and my hubby visit this place for all four nights. Absolute value for money, hygienic approach and tasty food. Tried continental as well as local delicacies and all were made well. Should visit this place whenever u stay at kovalam and don't forget to meet Pravin and he will make your Kerala holidays memorable.

One time I wasn't feeling well, and by the time the food arrived (just omelette and fries as I was hoping to be able to eat something light , I had gotten worse. I was shivering and cold. (A 1st in South India as normally I was sweating.. . Thanks to the friendly waiter, Selin, who wrapped my dinner and gave it to me to take away. I really appreciated the care and attention he gave me that evening. And after that he always asked after my health every time I went back. So would definitely recommend. (Even the WC is OK!
