Review Grandma's Kitchen - Kochi (Cochin)

Wonderful host and wonderful place!! I was attracted by the name of this place "Grandma's Kitchen". Visited this place for lunch and ordered some food. The restaurant serves authentic Gujarathi food. (Pure Veg) The food was very tasty. In the process i also spoke to the owner, MR. Manish Parekh, who is a wonderful person and a good cook. He gave me suggestions about covering the nearby places too. Overall the experience was wonderful.

An awesome place to have in Fort Kochi, the only Vegetarian restaurant. You get various North and South Indian dishes.

Awesome place for vegetarians, friendly staff, nice food with balanced costing, Definitely recommended for people who are searching veg dishes around here,

I was searching for a 100% veg hotel/ restaurant when I walked past the owner Manish invited me in for a chai then I decided to eat after looking at the menu ...I had a great evening and meet some nice people there ....I definitely will be back it's a friendly place with good food

If you are here in the fort Kochi do try this place it’s very very good for Gujarati thali.Dont miss it !

if u like north indian food, here you get a lovely northern thali. passionate owner and chef that is preparing the food with lot of love and care. friendly staff, small and cozy place, moderate pricing. a very good alternative to the touristic overflown places in the main roads. inside and outside seating space, perfect for a quiet evening. would go there again.

Excellent food and service, love love love this place. The gentleman who owns it is incredibly helpful and also funny, he made us feel like family. Lots of locals eating here which is always a good sign. If vegetarian food was like this in the UK I'd be veggie! We had starter and big thali to share and drinks for £3.60! Will be going back. THANKS

Best in taste with home made style in the cheapest price. Staff are very polite and humble. Strongly recommended for breakfast, lunch, dinner. Manish uncle (owner) is so decent and takes care of everything that satisfies your taste and pocket. Veg only. Yummy & delicious.

Awesome traditional food that too pure vegetarian. We loved the taste. Friendly staff. The owner is from Guj he has learnt the recipes from his grandmother hence the name. He had different spice masala to make and the deserts were of Gujarat special made. Loved this place should visit. The hospitality showed was great!!!!

We are from the UK, we found this by accident and went in as it looked nice and we are vegetarians. We had the veg thali, it was delicious, we went back the next day and had special veg thali which is served at the weekends. It was all delicious, but my very favourite part was a green kind of mousse made of coriander and coconut eaten with yellow cake made of chickpea flour- heavenly, I won't forget it. Lovely staff, lovely service. The owner chattted to us and even popped out to get me some medicine as I was suffering from a cold. That and the excellent food soon made me feel better. Later I found a note I had forgotten about, that an Indian man from Delhi had written me, it said best place to go for breakfast in Fort Kochi: Grandma's Kitchen! We didn't get there for breakfast as our homestay served us breakfast, but I hear the masala dosas are excellent!

Have been traveling around India for almost 2 months now and is hands down one of the nicest places I have eaten. Maniss is one of the best hosts I have met. Really friendly, and super attentive. Make sure you go for the ‘Special Thali’ I promise you wont regret it!

Where to start? Firstly, the food is absolutely delicious. Every night is a new curry (I came here for 5 nights and every one was so good). I’m very limited in what I can eat, no rice, gluten or chickpeas, as well as vegan, but this was no problem for Manish, making sure that I could eat something and even creating special meals just for my dietary requirements. My friend was able to try everything and LOVED everything (masala dosa, thali and puris) cannot recommend this place enough. The owner is just the kindest man ever, great banter and a good heart. Really really recommend

Absolutely lovely and warm hospitality with lip smacking food! Whether you want a change of food from the kerala cuisine or just missing some home food you won't be disappointed. This kind of passion for food can only come from a gujarati ;) And you can see the difference it makes. Priced very aptly too, value for money. Hope to see this continue, and this will be something from so many things that will being me back to Fort Kochi for sure.

The BEST of my staying in Fort Kochi. This is not a restaurant it is a Home where Manish, the owner ( a real gentleman with a heart of gold), will treat you and cherish like friend. I'm blown away by his hospitality and generosity. It was really one of my best experience in India to spend a few days hanging out and eating in Grandma's kitchen. Naturally, the place attracts a lot of good people so it becomes a headquarter for travellers to meet! The food is great, fresh and flavourful too and sometimes tailor-made for you. Grandma's kitchen is one of the main reason I can't wait to come back to Kochi. Thanks Manish!!!! നന്ദി/ நன்தி Déborah

AMAZING FOOD!!! Everything was so incredible!! I recommend the Thali, Shrikhand (which comes in the weekend Thali), and the Dahi Puri!! But I vouch anything on the menu is a must try!!! Manish is the loveliest owner, he was so so friendly, and helped me understand what was on the menu, so that every night I got to try something different!!

Visited this place on a Sunday afternoon as I was in fortkochi. I guess this is the only vegetarian restaurant in fortkochi. Had their special thali and it was the best I've had being a gujrati. Their undhiyu and dal were perfectly cooked and aamras-puri were good too. Would definitely recommend and visit again soon.

A Vegetarian Hotel. Northern foods available here
