Review Periyar Restaurant - Kochi (Cochin)

Delicious food. All the sea food lovers should visit once for lunch here. Having lots of variety with low cost and tasty. Having tried all the sea food from here each time you will find the dishes served here are super tasty. Having the location near to the backwater you have the perfect spot for chill out.

I can eat here like four times a week, or even more. It's just that I'm hating the fact that most of the time the place was overcrowded. I cannot blame them, though... The food was dope ❤️‍🔥 The restaurant is just right on the riverside. It gives you even a better feeling when you enjoy the food. The best part is that the food will be served quickly, so you don't have to wait or anything. For seafood lovers, this is heaven. Prawns, different types of fish, mussels, crabs, etc. I'm telling you—you come and tell me if I'm wrong. 💯✔️👌

If you like sea food / prawns / fresh water fish this is the place to be. The atmosphere is not extravagant. It's like a very basic hotel. Parking is bit of a mess, but can have 15 cars or so. Near to the water so it's not that hot. Service is pretty good and quick. The variety of food available (mostly fish) is good. Food was really tasty too. A good place to check out for the seafood lovers for sure.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the New Periyar Restaurant in Varappuza, Ernakulam, and I must say it was a delightful experience. This restaurant is a hidden gem nestled on the banks of the picturesque Periyar River, just before the Varappuzha bridge. The setting, with Chinese fishing nets in the backdrop, is simply stunning and adds to the overall charm of the place. The seating arrangements at Periyar Restaurant are reminiscent of a traditional village eatery, which creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. Moreover, the ample parking space is a relief, especially when traveling by car. Now, let's talk about the food. We opted for the lunch meal, which included red rice accompanied by a delicious spread of side dishes. The beetroot thoran, chammanthi, avial, pappadam, and pickle perfectly complemented the meal. The gravay fish curry, sambar, and buttermilk were all noteworthy and contributed to a satisfying dining experience. What makes this restaurant truly special is its reputation for fish dishes. The unique concept of bringing a variety of curries and fried fishes to your table is fantastic. The small portions allow you to sample a wide range of flavors, and I must say it's an awesome idea. During our visit, we indulged in a seafood extravaganza, selecting dishes such as Clam Meat Fry, Koonthal Roast (squid), Crab Roast, Manthal Fry, Chemmen Roast (prawns), Karimeen Pollichathu, Podimeen Fry, and even a Beef Roast. With the exception of the Beef Roast, which was just okay, all the dishes were incredibly tasty. The Crab Roast and Koonthal Roast, in particular, were exceptional, and we couldn't resist ordering another round. To top it all off, the bill for this sumptuous feast for four came to a reasonable Rs 1290, making it great value for the quality and quantity of food we enjoyed. While we didn't explore all the offerings on the menu, I can wholeheartedly recommend New Periyar Restaurant for its delectable fish dishes and the unique dining experience it offers. Whether you're a seafood lover or simply looking for a memorable meal in a scenic location, this place won't disappoint. Updated Review based on second visit

Meals: Rs. 70 Crab Roast: Rs. 80 Chemmeen Roast: Rs. 70 Kakka: Rs. 70 Karimeen Pollichathu: Rs. 300 I dined at Periyar restaurant during the second week of June 2023. It was an absolute seafood feast at an incredibly affordable price. For those who prioritize delicious food over the ambiance, this place won't disappoint. The majority of the staff, who happen to be ladies, were extremely hospitable. Moreover, the restaurant offers simple parking space, which is a convenient feature. However, I would suggest that they pay more attention to maintaining cleanliness and hygiene in the restroom.

Tried multiple fish dishes .local tasty food with nice location .Must Visit if you are in cochin

Delicious food with wide variety of sea food collection. Ample parking space but very rush in noon time especially in off days. Riverside view provides a special ambience to the place But overall restaurant space is bit low and congested compared to the amount of people arriving. UPI scanning and card payment is now available.

Good seafood available here. I always come here for the crab fry, and prawns fry. Good varieties of fish fry are also available here. Overlooking a water body...it is a river I guess but more like a lagoon. You can see some Chinese fishing nets here. Priced reasonably

A busy (on weekends) restaurant on the riverside. Lots of seafood options. Food will be served very quickly. Lunch is limited to fish meals and sides.

Nice shop with a decent price list and taste. Every dish was tasty except fish fry. Not so bad but when compared to other dishes it can be even better. duck roast, prawns, squid everything was good. They have plenty of parking space too. * The toilet was in pathetic condition.

Super the food was very good…. Enjoyed the lunch…different verities of fish items… beautiful back waters …. Nice ambience

A feast of sea food at an extremely reasonable price. If you're someone who loves hogging good food irrespective of the ambience, you won't be disappointed. The staff comprises mostly ladies and they're very hospitable. Would just recommend them to try and keep the restroom a little more hygeinic. The place is by the backwaters. Those who find it difficult to bear the Kerala heat, are likely to be disappointed due to the absence of an a/c dining room or other suitable amenities.

Good food. Nice ambience. Good service from the part of staffs, most of the staff are women and they do it in the best way and well maintained atmosphere. River side restaurant and you can enjoy the beauty of the place and the best food for the lowest price in the city. I recommend this restaurant for you. Come and enjoy with your family or friends. It is a good place to know that if you provide good service to the people they will come back to you again and again. Best wishes for those who run this restaurant try to do what you do or more. Thank you ☺️
