Malabar Chilly chicken and egg roast were great (takeaway). Seemed like a simple restaurant for dine in - more restaurants should focus on this kind of simple ambiance and give more priority to the food and quality rather than fancy menu cards and whatnot.
Ikkakas!!!One of the famous mallu restaurant in the city ! Sea foods are damm yummy ! I had tasted chilli tawa prawns and fish polichathu which was wrapped inside the banana leaves.TENDER COCONUT MOUSSE was dessert of the day 💚 ! Check out soon guys. .

After a long long break writing this review since I felt that the food really needs an appreciation. Happened to visit this place with my cousins for a Sunday lunch.
This place had valet services and so the first criteria ticked, decent ambience second criteria ticked, definitely not the usual Tam food so third criteria also ticked. Am bored of Tam food now a days.
We were a mix of veggies and non veggies in the group of 11 and I was a bit late to the venue and hence my cousins had finished ordering and I was went crazy on the selection- again same old chapati, veg Biriyani, chicken fry and 65. I called the manager Mr.Ravi and asked him if we can change the order, a very decent looking mid aged person with a very humble voice and tone allowed us to change. Thank you Ravi. Keep up your commit towards custr preference.
Here comes the order, Mutton Biriyani, Itachi Fry, Pazham Pori, Karimeen Polichathu, Parota, Chicken Stew. Kerala Meals, Kuluki Sharbat and one Ada Pradhamam.
I would say the hotel holds a very good Kerala flavour in all their dishes. It's coconut all over and I liked the domination Kerala spices. Kudos to the entire team of Ikkakas. A special kudos to Samjit the owner of Ikkakas for alloting us a table despite being Sunday and within a short time.
I would definitely recommend this place to my followers and friends
Family place to dine, good ambience ,great staff and overall best place for kerala dishes
Quaint little mallu joint situated near the cenotaph road flyover. Loved their karimeen pollichatu and kuluki sharbat ( had the orange flavour was excellent and a must try). Finished off with tender coconut mousse served in a coconut shell. Perfect sweetness and absolutely refreshing. Will be back for more to try the other dishes. Must visit if you love mallu food
Excellent food, was my second visit to this place. Tried the karimeen pollichathe with veg meals, best combo.
Amazing mallu style food loved it
Went there for lunch today, place was packed. FOOD was yummy, service was a bit slow. IKKAKAS chicken fry is q must try.
Such a nice place to have lunch with ur family ♥️ we really love it , and the Kerala food 👌👌👌 must visit 👍🏻 this is the 9 th time we ar visiting this restaurant ♥️
This place serves awesome Kerala cusine.Authentic Kerala Malabar flavours in everybite.Will visit soon to try their other dishes.
After a long time, Chennai gets a great Kerala Restaurant. Neat and clean, great ambience and good choices on the menu.
The Kerala fish curry meal was superb and the mutton cutlets were soft on the inside and just the right amount of crisp outside.
If you Kerala cuisine, especially from the Malabar belt, this is the place to go to.
Good place to hang out and taste Kerala food. little bit pricey but ambience is good and they had the best music (Melody).
As we sat, they gave traditional 'Pathimukham' water to drink and raw mango and cucumber soaked in chilli vinegar(🤤) We ordered appam, idiyappam, beef ulathiyathu, chicken stew, pathiri and karimeen pollichatu.. beef ulathiyathu and appam was heavenly. Im not a huge fan of beef, but just loved this one. Was extremely delicious. Appam & idiyapapm was also good. Karimeen pollichatu came wrapped in a banana leaf but not cooked in one. Ideally it should be wrapped in the leaf and then cooked. The taste was just fine, but nothing great. Coming to chicken stew, it was disappointing. Instead of coconut milk, it was cooked in grated coconut and had three huge pieces of chicken instead of small ones - stew didn't taste nice at all.

I visited Ikkakas and found the experience quite delightful. Had Unnakaya, Pothu Roast, Fish Cutlet, Mutton Samosa, Fish Biriyani, Chapathis, Veg Stew, Raw Mango Kulukki Sarbath, Tresleches and Tender Coconut pudding. All dishes were good and the service too was nice.
Special mention has to be made of the Tender Coconut pudding. It is simply out of the world.
I came across this restaurant in Swiggy and ordered their biryani. In the swiggy notes, I requested them to give etc masala and one pappadam. The etc masala that they gave alone could have satisfied my hunger because it was rich in quanitity and taste was also good. And they gave appalam safely packed in aluminum foil.
So, decided to visit them one day with my friend. Because such generosity and customer service is not something that you come across everyday. We ordered putt and Kadala, one biryani, and two lemonde. The quantity was too much. Their pricing is a bit too high (especially for kadala curry-200, but it tasted sooooo good, just the way I like it). But I've also had been to restaurants that over price, with normal food, where ambience is very bad. Here, they had friendly staffs and a peaceful ambience.
Best place to have a Kerala food. Taste is also very good natural and good. Customer friendly. Had 2 plates of Kappa biriyani it was too good and tasty.will recommend to other.
Thank you for the excellent food.
Dear mallu's, Never ever forget to visit this place if you are living or working nearby.. Missing Malabar home town!? Go and have lunch or dinner.. It will fill your tummy as well as heart.. Don't forget to ask for Tender coconut mousee.. Their authentic dish.. Beef lovers save your taste bud before you enter..
From its vibrant ambience to the mouth watering food, ikkakas promise a fabulous treat.
They have the best kerala food in chennai. Their kappa and meen chattiyil ittu vattichadhu is a must try. For all desert lovers try their tender coconut mousse.
Loveeeddddd the Malabar food. Everything I ordered was damn delicious. Would definitely pay another visit and recommend this to all Kerala cuisine lovers. Pricing is apt. Ambiance is decent
One among the well know places for Malabar cuisine. The Kerala parotta is really good. The restaurant is really refurbished well and designed to bring out the Kerala ambient. They can accommodate couples, and groups of even more than 15 people. The coconut icecream is a must try dessert here. Valet parking is available. Takeaways are even facilitated.
Food here is awesome 😍😍😍 they have the best coconut milk and also their malabar chicken is mouthwatering 🤤🤤🤤🤤 became my regular spot for dinner and service is friendly.
