Sumptuous lunch - Kerala cuisine
Grand Hotel is known for its food for long years now. Though, all the food on the menu is real tasty, we have taken a liking for the Fish Meals, available during lunch hours. The taste is absolutely amazing - the fish curry, the other curries, sambar, chutnies, even the pappad. We always look forward to a lunch at Grand, whenever we visit Ernakulam
One of the best restaurant at cochin anyone can vouch for .their fish curry meals is just amaxing..not to forget the kachiyamoru and rasam seeves alongwith..try their ammachi special fish...you woupdnt regret
The food here is excellent. Traditional Kerala food served here are fresh and authentic. There are a variety of Chinese and other foreign dishes. The ambience of the restaurant is good.
Very nice place... Good food at Affordable price. Always a crowdy place but that does not affect the time they bring your order... Been here many times... The warm water they serve is very good for your health .
Awesome Ambience..Went there with a mixed bag of reviews and they didn't let me down. I was on hunt for authentic southern spice and this is place. Well I stick to steam rice and prawn mango curry (check actual item on menu).. Lip smacking taste.. Tangy and mild spicy.. Taste that will push me to visit again. Good job guys, keep up your repo!!
If someone reads my reviews, would know, 5 STAR is big a rating from me. I want to be honest to my followers, thats why I try my best to be honest with my ratings too.
This place just took me by my heart.
I had ordered plain rice, king fish curry, appams, karimeen pollichatha, and rum with warm water.
One can argue that being next to the sea having the freshest of the fish is not a big deal, Okay, I agree, but the balance of spice n taste is to the perfection.
Karimeen Polichatha is fish marinated with keralite spices and then steamed, wrapped in banana leaf. Bengali's call this "Bhape", and Paris's call this "Patrani".
Once you have been treated to this amazing food, by really efficient staff you get mesmerized by the old colonial decor and style.
For me, this place is a 5/5 for food, 5/5 for service and 5/5 for ambience.
thank you.
One of my favorite restaurants in the city. They've been consistent for years! I like pretty much everything I've tried. They serve really good fish.
The Grand Hotel Restaurant does not disappoint and IS THE definitive place to visit for authentic Kerala cuisine. and I confidently say that you can't go wrong eating here.
I had written a review three and a half years ago on another forum called 'Consistently Great Eating' and I'm thrilled to say, 'I told you so'!!!!
Nothing has changed. The restaurant is still busy as ever and the food is still delicious and wholesome.
If you want to sample the local cuisine, you can't go wrong ordering the fish curry meals which will give you 4 -5 vegetable dishes, a fish curry, pappadom, assorted pickles and unlimited rice. The vegetable dishes will also be refilled if you so require at no extra cost.
Another must try dish is the 'Karimeen Pollichathu' which is a local fish (Pearl Spot) sauteed in local spices and masala, and then baked in a banana leaf. Fabulous.
The restaurant also serves varieties of biriyani cooked and served in clay pots (Dum Biriyani) and is easily the best available in the city.
Their menu is extravagant and they serve chicken, fish, lamb, beef, lobster and duck to name a few. Every week they have a speciality going - could be Duck, lobster or tiger prawns so do ask.
The only drawback I can point out is that the service level tends to vary from average to very good depending on the crowd, and it does tend to get very very busy.
Do your palate a favor and eat here!!!
This place is situated just beside MG road. I love the overall ambience of this place. I had come here for lunch and had ordered the chicken and mutton dum Biryani. The service may be slightly slow as this place is almost packed most of the time. The biryani tasted good with genuine quantity of meat. Overall this place has great food and it's worth visiting if you are around Kochi.
My second visit here, the ambiance is a lively, spacious pleasant one with only the basic decor. Great place to entertain a your guests.
The food here is known to be very very good. They are multi cuisine and have a huge variety of food to choose from. But for a non-local like me, a South Indian fare was all I had on my mind.
We ordered Beef and Chicken preparations and they were delicious. We relished every bit of our food.
They make some really good mint lime here, so if you are a teetotaler or aren't in the mood for alcohol, you must try this drink.
The cost of food is on the higher side but totally worth it for the quality, service and the ambiance.
An excellent restaurant in Kochi known for its superb Kerala cuisine. Clean, spacious, and with friendly staff, though it can be busy. The diverse menu offers a rich and spicy mix of nutritious food. Highly recommended for a great non-vegetarian experience. Don't miss trying their biryani and mutton – both delightful!

Excellent restaurant. We always make it a point to have lunch here when we visit kochi. Good service. Clean place. Spacious. Can get busy and have to wait but worth the wait. Good selection of food. Definitely recommend this place to anyone.
Had veg meals with their special grand chicken fry and beef fry. Meals chicken and beef was very good. Chicken fry masala was also very tasty. There is a waiting period of minimum 15 minutes after ordering the food. Good ambience. Staff service is also good.
Absolutely fantastic as always - some places just have this magic. My last visit for 14 years back had the fish meals & karimeen politche was brilliant the & now still the same tasty food and experience. The fish Biryani was very special. Anyone visiting Cochin - Must-have a meal.

A part of the Grand Hotel on M.G. road in Kochi, this restaurant serves delicious food. The portions are very good and the service is great too. The menu offers a wide range of dishes including local kerala food and North Indian, continental & Chinese fare. The price is on the higher side, but it’s worth the experience.
