Some of the dishes are just awesome. I would recommend Fish Nirvana . Except for a few special dishes you will be paying a premium for ordinary food. The quantity of some of the items is also less. Ambience is good but nothing great for the price you pay. The staff is friendly. Valet parking available. Overall it is a must try once.
The restaurant was easily reachable and they had plenty of parking space. The staff was very welcoming and found us a seat in no time and they helped us to order according to our taste.
We ordered Paalkatti Chakara Valli Kizhangu for starters which was amazing. The balls made of sweet potato were soft and had a sweet and spicy taste. For mains we had Appam, Idiyappam, Porotta and the celebrated Fish Nirvana. The curry stood true to the Nirvana name it had, I loved every bit of it and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was expecting to taste Palada when I had the Cheesecake but was disappointed, nevertheless the dessert was good.
If you want to experience new favours then this is a place where you can find beautiful tastes that I'm sure your tastebuds haven't known before.
Till date the best place i tried Kerala good from. Taste is beyond the best level. Tried various dishes and cant think of rating a single dish less. Fish Nirvana, Kerala toddy, and cheesecake is a MUST TRY.
And one thing that needs a mention is their plating. No wonder they give their best to present the dish well. The way they treat you is also noteworthy.
A must visit place in Bangalore for people who crave for Kerala cuisine.
Good food and ambience. The popular Fish Nirvana justifies the premium pricing but few items are overpriced especially snack items. Service is good and professional. Overall a good experience and wouldn't disappoint tastewise.
Chef Pillai restaurant is one of my favorite spots in Namma Ooru Bengaluru. Not sure how many times I have visited this place for the lick-smacking Fish Nirvana and some hot Nool porotta and Appam. This is a great spot for authentic varieties of Kerala cuisine. Venad Paal Konj and inji puli chicken is a great start. From the warm greetings at the entrance to the professional and lovely behavior of the staff, the hospitality is top-notch. The GM Mr Mathew and Mr Roopesh always welcome us with great smiles and greetings. If you are looking for delicious authentic Kerala cuisine then I highly recommend this spot.
Chef Pillai is truly a gem in the culinary world. With their mouthwatering dishes, delightful ambiance, and the convenience of available parking, it sounds like a dining experience that one shouldn't miss!
Awesome place for a family or friends get together for lunch or dinner. Though a bit costly and quantity is inadequate, it’s worth paying a visit on special occasion. Good ambience, superb service and pleasant staff will make one feel like at home.
One of the best restaurants in Bangalore for authentic Kerala food
We had seer fish Nirvana, appam and nool poratta.
Seer fish Nirvana is a speciality and must try food here
Staff was friendly and service was very quick
Came to Bangalore from Chennai for having Fish Nirvana , Venda pal Konju with nool porotta and appam here. The taste was out of the world!!! The aroma of prawns slow cooked in coconut milk with coconut flakes on top, and the fish Nirvana… is just like the word: attaining nirvana. The cherry on top was the very friendly and insightful staff memebers, especially Ms Anju and Mr Aadarsh . The way the food is served also brings about more taste and makes the experience more precious!!!!
One of the most delightful food I've ever had, absolutely scrumptious and mouthwatering. I've truly become a devoted fan of this cuisine, particularly the Paal Konju and fish nirvana, which were exceptional. The Nool parotta, egg appam, and nikah biriyani were also incredibly delicious. The chicken dishes, on the other hand, were just average. The service was commendable. However, what proved to be quite frustrating was the wait time. We arrived at 12:30 PM and didn't get seated until 2:15 PM. We weren't aware that reservations could be made before 12:30, so I would recommend planning ahead to avoid such a lengthy wait if you're considering dining here.
