Review Rice N Fish - Kochi (Cochin)

Its a cozy place to dine with your loved ones and alone too. They have the seafood varieties. I loved their taste and will surely recommend to my friends and family. The restaurant ambience is awesome. It’s decorated like a ship inside. Its very neat and clean here. There is all you can eat with a seafood. Their barbecue is delicious and we can select the type of fish from their fish deck. The customer relationship is a remarkable thing. They have trained waiters here.

If you are looking for a perfect sea food which is not very expensive and which doesn't compromise on quality Rice N Fish is a perfect restaurant. They can prepare all kinds of dishes with fish, it's not very crowded, so don't misunderstand it's not good. All the items are prepared only after the order is made, hence patience is must but you won't be disappointed after the wait. The price however is good compared to other sea food restaurants.

Very good fishy restaurant in kochi.. This restaurant is specialists in fish making.. Nice meals too there I had.. All items are seams live made from the ice basket.. Tasty and spicy food served well. Rush is there in noon time but normally is a calm place to have a rest an food.. Indian and Chinese food items are there to serve.. ₹₹₹ is little bit inappropriate..

One of the best place in and around Ernakulam to have some decent quality sea and backwater food options. The restaurant's interior is themed with a boat and it integrates with the restaurant very well. The Kerala style dishes find great combination with Kerala rice. We tried chutty curry, which is a different kind of preparation from the traditional Kochi/Kottayam style and it is a little bit on the sweeter side. But it was a nice and variety combination with the Kerala rice and the people who are die-hard fans of fish curry with kudampuli style please excuse and go for other fish curry with kudampuli on the menu. I'm a great fan of fish kudampuli style but personally I liked this version as well. The prawns roast was served in decent quantity and was one of the fresh prawns I've had in any restaurant in Ernakulam, especially Kakkanad-Padamugal side. The same taste and quality was found in koonthal (squid) roast too. The rice was well cooked and overall the combination of fish chutty curry, koonthal roast and prawns roast went very well with the rice. There is ample dedicated car parking space for the restaurant customers. They accept both cash and card payments. The price is on a higher side and it can be a dealbreaker for some people.

Honestly at first wasn’t impressed by goin through their menu. But... the quality of service plus the food. Mind blowing !!! Served with bowl of oats and salad at first. OATS!! Yes..That’s somethin different. Besides we also selected Avoli for their Masterpiece RnF barbecue. 10 - 15min of wait and Voila!!. Also try RnF special Fish Mix awesome stuff.

Fish Barbecue is the highlight of this restaurant. You can select the fresh (not alive) fish from their available options, and get it done. Good one off experience. Sufficient parking space available.

Nice place with excellent food if you like seafood. They have a live choice of seafood that you can choose and have it cooked according to your preference. Highly recommended.

One of the nice destination for fish lovers. You will get finest fish barbecues from the menu which is very easy to choose. Barbecues are not so dry unlike other restaurants usually do. You can enjoy with little rice aside make you filling lunch.

Kerala meals was good. Fish curry was good. In menu there are a lot of fish items but the day when I went had only very limited fish items.

Best option for fish dishes. Good food, waiting time is minimal Parking available. Easy to locate. Moderately priced. Better to book seats during lunch time to avoid waiting.

Good place to dine out. Varieties of fishes we can buy and have it prepared as per wish. Fish Biryani is good. They promise that they don't use taste makers. Parking facility available. Interior is good and clean. They are not using any taste makers they promised and we can also feel it like home made, that there is no add on stuff. You can order some salads or starters as the waiting time is little long. Nice interior theme, neat tables and chairs. Free parking available.

Loved a lot , fresh fish , tasty and quality food, friendly staff, enough parking space available I suggest ayakoora (neymeen/king fish )bbq and ponni rice Giving 5 star ❤️

Good place to chill out with family on a weekend. I didn't gave 5 stars coz of the price. For the facility, i feel the price is little bit more, compare to the other restaurants which is providing same type of service. Food is really delicious.. will recommend for a different experience.

went to hav fish curry meals bt cudnt get it bcoz it was alredy past 2.. so had mixed fish biriyani n fish tikka biriyani.. first time i'm having fish biriyani & it was toooo gud.. i absolutely luvd it .. perfect fish.. spicy just d way i lik non veg fud.p rice is a bit on d expensiv side though.. i'm not giving a 5star bcoz tey tuk too long 4 service- v almost left b4 tey came with d menu

Very good place for sea food. Squids, prawn were very tasty. Squids masala and Selfish biryani was the standouts.

EXCLUSIVELY SEAFOOD RESTAURANT!!! Go if u are a sea food lover. Fish bbq is a must try (for groups, bcoz a bit costly). Rates are affordable. Very tasty food, nice & friendly service. Decent ambience also. Value for money.

Good for fish lovers. The preparation is customised and hence we can choose the fish available there and ask them to prepare accordingly. Fish Barbecue was one fine preparation. But the normal fish fry preparation wasn't up to expectations. They have a variety of rice options as well, which if needed they would serve for taste. Good ambience, good parking space. Will visit again! :) Can have chicken/mutton options as well.

Wonderful hotel which have great dishes ....go and have a lunch.... definitely it will be tasty...

If you are coming to Kerala and wants to taste fish then this place is a must. People go all the way from Fort Kochi to here to taste the amazing food.<br/>I had this amazing fish that name of which I don't remember. It was so great, just yummy.

One of our fav place, budget friendly, well maintained started first at Kakkanad . Customer since then. Love the seafood over here. People looking for daily meals can surely visit here☺️

Good food . The seafood is good out here . Was happy with the lunch . Great quality food . Not recommended if u want ur food faster on table . It might take some time ..

Tried Thier biriyanis , special pothichoru and fish grill. Biriyanis are not good . pothichoru is good with fish fry and omelette.we can select the fish and we can make the grill in our on taste.

My fav dish is their double grilled fish. We have to select a fish from their cold stored table, they will slice the fish to 2 and grilled with two different masalas. I tried one with chilly and other piece with pepper. Both are authentic and yummy. Their lunch is authentic Kozhikode style and very tasty.

Amazing seafood restaurant! I luv the fish biriyani.. I had eaten so many fish biriyani but this was the orginal taste of fish biriyani. Affordable rate with good quality fresh food..

A bit costly place as it serves the best seafood in town, fish are the highlight of this restaurant. There interior decorations also have seafood memories..seafood lovers must to visit place in kochi☺️

This place has a pretty good ambience..<br/>The food is quite affordable...<br/>Their live fish is great as they divide the fish into 2 portions with two flavours on request...<br/>They also have combo meals with curries that are too affordable...<br/>The machboos was great in flavour...<br/>The pickle here is one of the best i eve had...

Had the Fish Biriyani from here, tastes okay, good compatriots in form of pickle. Will visit once more in the future to taste the meals they are known for.<br/><br/>Ambience wise - it's feels great.

I am a regular visitor of this restaurant. Down the line I have seen the food and the quality of service has been going down drastically. If you are coming here to dine then you must forget all other work because the staff will choose to ignore you. I was waiting a waving at the staff and none of them responded for say 15 mins after that on my request one person took the order and then he also vanished. 20 mins later I went to the counter and told them about my order then they responded. <br/>You guys have a name please maintain it <br/>

4.5/5. I found this place through Zomato. This place showed up in the list of seafood restaurants and was the nearest. This is an Arabian seafood speciality place. We had Assorted Seafood Fry, Fish Tikka and the Fish Kabsa. It was quite a Fish Feast although they do have separate Fish Feast lunch offers as well. They also offer 'Catch of the Day' i.e. you get to pick your choice of a whole fish, their speciality is Karimeen Pollichathu. I didn't go for it. You could try.<br/><br/>Ambience:<br/>Clean, nice look and feel. We were seated on the ground floor.<br/><br/>Service:<br/>Excellent 👌. Our server was Ajith. He was very cordial and we are grateful for his valuable suggestions for the dining experience.<br/><br/>Food:<br/>Details as follows. It was a different experience of flavors for me, a successful fusion of Kerala and Arabic seafood. Presentation was impeccable as you see in the pictures.<br/>Assorted Fried Fish - This is the best of them all. Nice blend of Prawns, Squid, Seer Fish, Vatta.. You name it.<br/>Fish Tikka - This is speciality of the place. You can choose plate of 6 pieces or 8 or 14 pieces. 6 was adequate for us. There are choices for marinade like the regular, Haryali, Punjabi, Badami which gives off various colours. Our server offered us a mix and we gladly took it. The fish of the day was Vatta (Trevally) which is not very special in our cuisine . However it was quite a treat here. Perfectly grilled to cut soft. Loved the texture as well. The dip that came along perfectly compliments the fish.<br/>Fish Kabsa - This one is an Arabian Biryani. We chose seer fish. It comes with dates pickle, gooseberry pickle, Raita and Pappadam. While the fish was good the rice is okayish. No complaints because the rice in the Kabsa are always tad blend. However the dish here was still good because they provided all these sides.<br/><br/>Price:<br/>True value for money. When you gorge on Fish courses in most of the restaurants there is always possibility of a dish tasting average due to lack of freshness. Nothing like that here. This was real deal. And all of this cost us 1000 after a complimentary dish through Zomato Gold. So I encourage food lovers in the city to go for it.<br/><br/>Thanks once again to Fish n Rice for a super dinner!

Excellent preparation of fish curry with mango in coconut , cheemmeen chammanthy and Nellikka achar still mouth watering , loved that sweet pickle too .. 8/10 .

The food and service at this restaurant is excellent. The fish tikka masala is a must try. The ambience is also pretty good. This is a must try place for all the seafood lovers.

Nice ambience with descent parking in the heart of Kochi.The interiors are with live fish and with the ambience of fishing area.Had fish curry and descent hotel to enjoy fish food with family and freiends

Love their sea food delicacies. Love the curry which have all the sea food mixed up and also their butter naan is amazing. They have a mixed pulao which is also very amazing.The ambience also gives a fresh feel to eat.

Not satisfied with fish tikka kizhi biriyani. No accompaniments, raita, salad or pickle. Fish tikka size is small. I ordered through zomato. But it was great when i dined at restaurant.

Zomato Gold is only applicable in Biriyanis only. The rest of dishes are not applicable under gold benefit. Then why this restaurant is partnering with Zomato? Really disappointing!! Well...the food was okayish..

Rice N fish <br/><br/>It is a place where you get good BBQ, Tawa,Meen-Pollichathu fishes at kochi .<br/><br/>Among these the only thing which felt highlight for me is BBQ fish,Which was soo tasty.<br/><br/>The ambience was very nice,Especially for the boat interiors was displayed which was good.<br/><br/>The staff was very helpful! <br/><br/>Now about the food, The BBQ was soo good such as, The fish was cooked to the right tenderness without deepfrying & Bringing oil to the minimum so that you can eat as much as your appetite satisfies..!<br/><br/>We even ordered sides such as the butter Naan and chapathi everything were good..!<br/><br/>Overall based on my food wandering this is the best place for seafood & All the seafood lovers out there should try from RnF. The superb staffs especially make your experience Better compare to other restaurants..!<br/><br/>RnF it is located in Kakkanad, At padamughual <br/>P.s A small place with their own private car parking facility which was convenient..! <br/>

Must go place, if you are into seafood. Perfect place to end your day with family. With zomato gold this restaurant is a steal. Big ups!!!!!

Must try for sea food lovers!<br/>Food - 4.5/5<br/>Ambience - 5/5<br/>Service - 5/5<br/><br/>Ajith was courteous and helped us choose all our dishes. Will definitely come back to try more dishes!

Pathetic staffing service <br/>Had waited for almost half an hour to take the order <br/>The staffs are not aware of the Zomato gold policy <br/>When we had placed the order I asked the staff if I should unlock the gold,they said it's required only during billing time and they billed for the entire order stating once billed it can't be revoked and the closing time is done.Though it was the mistake of staff the supervisor in charge Mr.Sulfikar was rude and we had to pay the complete bill <br/>Would not recommend this place at all <br/>Horrible service <br/>

Nothing special about this place. They served good fish and biriyani. They served in banana leaf which ws homely. Friendly staff, good ambience. Bbq was also good.

Nice restaurants in kakkanad. There are lot of varities of fish food available there. The food that they has nice taste and fresh. They have wide varities and taste.

Nothing great about this place here.<br/>The ambience is very plain with basic interiors.<br/>The staff is friendly.<br/>I’d ordered the premium fish biryani and mix seafood dry since it literally says fish n rice.<br/>Have to say wasn’t a fan of both<br/>Found the meal to be barely middling<br/>

have heard a lot about this place.. we ordered the usuals.. fish grills, chicken curry and parathas.. loved the fidh grills.. rest were average.

We had to wait for around 45 minutes at the restaurant to get our food. I would not recommend this place for biriyani items. I have not tried anything else.

For those people who are into seafood! This is one of the best places you can get it. Decent food and nice ambience. And with zomato gold its so worth it!

No transparency about zomato gold. Asked for the dish but after billing the restaurant manager told that it was not the dish listed in zomato gold

A small slice of a small chemballi fish costs Rs. 220 in their menu.<br/>Heavily overpriced. Don't get cheated by the hypes created by reviews. Disappointed

Located in Kakkanad, one of the main things that I love and appreciate about RnF is that they have their own private parking ground, which is very convenient. The ambience is very nice. It’s designed like a boat and there are tables on two floors. The staff are very helpful! The staff at my table suggested the best dishes to us and even prevented us from ordering too much. <br/>The Mixed Fish Fry was good. Everything was fried properly and it tasted really yum.<br/>Fish Tikka Masala was delicious! It was the perfect side to go along with the bread items that we ordered.<br/>The Tandoori Roti and Butter Naan were good, nothing else to say.<br/>The chocolate shake and fruit salad were normal, but we didn’t really go there for the dessert.<br/>Overall, you must eat from RnF if you’re a seafood lover. The superb staff especially make your experience ten times better.

Ordered their special barbeque fish biriyani with Neymeen ,mixed special barbeque fish biriyani. Biriyani with Neymeen tasted great but the mixed one was not up to the mark. Decent ambience and courteous staff.On a negative note, it took more than 45 mins for the food to get served.Planning on going back to try their other special dishes.<br/>

This is my second visit to RNF. We tried the RNF bbq fish biriyani and the RNF prawns tawa, both were really great. The prawns tawa fry was exceptionally good. The ambience is also pretty neat. Will visit again.

Ordered their special bbq biriyani (aykora), special mixed bbq biriyani and prawns tawa fry. The aykora bbq biriyani tasted great. But the mixed biriyani did not match up to our expectation. The prawns tawa fry was delicious. It’s a must try place.

Tasty food and friendly staffs. I had ordered for a prawn biriyani and fish fry which was both amazing and served hot. But the quantity of food was little less.

Rice and fish....dine in...i ordered fish slice biriyani and squid roast... just like the name both rice and fish was soo bad... The rice tasted cold and poorly seasoned...the fish was over cooked and dry...the squid was seasoned too much to made it worse...and was undercooked......... the cleanliness of the shop is very poor...i had to fight with flies to have my food without them falling it....overall the restaurant smell like fish market and not at all good...the staff was rude and not polite.... I'm never going back to that place...

Have ordered the pothichoru and fish thaali with tawa fry fish from here and they were both yum. The fish curry and fish fry that came with the thaali was just too delicious!<br/><br/>Recently visited the place itself, was impressed by the parking space first up and the interiors well done. We ordered the RnF fish biriyani and a plate of mix fish fry.<br/><br/>The biriyani came in a clay pot packed with rice full of flavour mixed with generous pieces of bbq fish.<br/><br/>Overall I liked the food experience, gave me exactly as promised - well cooked rice and fish packed with flavour.

Rice N Fish, the name tells you what you have to order from here. So it should have rice and also fish, Biriyani.. YES.<br/><br/>Located at Padamughal on the right side when you go to kakkanad, a small place with ample car parking. There is a boat shaped elevated first floor which was closed probably because I went at noon for lunch. The place kindof smells of fish, not like raw fish but cooked fish.<br/><br/>We ordered RnF BBQ fish biriyani which is their special fish biriyani and also an assorted fish fry dish which I forgot the name of. The biriyani came in a clay pot with a sealed lid which they open at out table. It contains rice suffient enough for one person and mixed with BBQ fish. The fish kindof tasted like chicken but it was really good. The assorted fish fry came as small chunks of different fishes deep fried. It also included squid, Prawns and some other fishes.<br/><br/>Overall a very good experice and something out of the ordinary. It's not a must try place, but if you prefer a change, this one's for you.

On the pricier side and good food with less portion size on all meals. Think it's a strategy of theirs! A place with good ambience. Would recommend for lunch!

Awesome food from RNF Team. Availed the gold membership without any issues. Had a fish biriyani and mixed fires rice. Both were exceptionally good. The only low light I felt is the server didn’t say their will be extra chargers for Dum biriyani. But it could be my ignorance too. Anyways will be back for fish bbq which I heard is really good.

We had prawns noodles, fish slice biriyani and fish bbq biriyani. The rice was a bit dry for biriyani but the fish was totally amazing. The flavours for bbq fish were equally marinated and the meat was cooked perfectly. Overall we had a good experience. Thumbs up 👍🏻

I ordered veg executive meals but received chicken pieces instead of paneer

Amazing fresh sea food and great dishes. Great service by the team. Must visit restaurant in Cochin.. ambience is good & ample parking as well.

ordered wheat paratha but received Kerala paratha. please check the order and deliver it. fish curry tastes good.

I haven't been here and had ordered food once from them. I have mixed feelings about the food as out of the two one biryani was amazing. I have also tried their fish chilly and wouldn't recommend it.

Barbeque Fish is a favorite of all. Have you had a biriyani with bbq fish inside ? Rice N Fish has such a special biriyani on their menu and it's popular dish. Usual fish grill with arabic masala is good so is their mandi rice. Their fish pollichathu is my second most favourite in town.

Delayed more than 20 mins, also food is below average and not meeting cost of quality.

Order rice combo but received with no curry they don't even given refund very bad experience.Hope i will never order from this restaurant any more.<br/><br/>

Ive had lunch here once. If you are craving for a naadan (kerala style) seafood cuisine, this is the exact place u r looking for. The food was good!Nebu Mathew Abraham

Quantity provided for fish tikka for 100 rs is very less..it is not worth the money.. if this is so I hope your restaurant will washed off in next flood.

curry quantity less

I ordered salad... They make something else.<br/>. So bad abt there Service and food... Please make sure that this can be eaten by people ... ..

I ordered avoli tawa fry. It cost Rs 220+tax. It was just a small piece of fish and not fresh stall. The fish biryani also was very less in fish quantity. Not atall worth the money we pay. Worst experience with this restaurant. Tawa fry tasted really bad. Quality of Rice and fish has gone drastically down. Got just this small fish I the biryani. Worst experience with rice and fish.Worst experience with rice and fish.Worst experience with rice and fish.Worst experience with rice and fish.Worst experience with rice and fish.Worst experience with rice and fish.Worst experience with rice and fish.Worst experience with rice and fish.

Extremely dirty food<br/>Had ordered mixed fish fry and turned out real bad<br/>Quantity also too low<br/>It tasted like raw dry salted fish<br/>Really disappointed

very good

Poor food... Had to feel around to find peices of fish in a curry priced 200.prawns tasted like nothing at all!sheer disappointment!

food is tasty but quantity is less..I ordered some seafood dish but there was only one piece of prawns and squid..rest was some normal fish..ambience is nice though

The size of fish is too small. The price is ₹290. This is cheating .

item was changed due to Non availability.so delivery has delayed..so I had to tried new item..but was depressed..

I ordered BBQ combo through Zomato. The prices were, I felt, a little on the higher side compared to the quantity and quality of food that you are getting. In this combo, you get a grilled fish along with 2 chapatis, mayo garlic sauce and green chutney. The chapatis were cold, so didn't enjoy eating them. The fish became soggy when I received the package, it was delightful! The Mayo and the green chutney were good too, goes well with the chapatis. I want to go to the restaurant and have the same thing. I would like to give the food a 3/5.

Taste is good.<br/>but the fish piece is very thin like paper..

👍

Ordered for Biryani Combo but got vegetable ghee rice and no fish for 100/- First time i tried Rice and Fish not happy with the service. End.

good food

nice

Nice varieties of fish barbeques.. Different from other restaurants and a must try for all the foodies craving for yummy food varieties.. Do try it once

good quantity and number side dishes, little spicy

Waste of money

Nice packing.

Food was missing..... Got ripped off by zomato and rice n fish.... The combo did not give me the roti s that I ordered....

not good as expected<br/>

Portion size was too small for the price. Wasted money.

food is overpriced.

Food is very expensive, the quantity is very less . Not worth for money

ordered prawns fry and got some uncleaned prawns head. I don't know why I paid 200 for this fry. I the squid fry I ordered was full of coriander leaf. Is there any money problem for restaurant to do such things...

not worth for the rate

excellent and mouth watery

GREAT FOOD. AWESOME AMBIANCE. FINE DINING AT ITS BEST.<br/><br/>For a sea food enthusiast like me, it cannot get any better than Rice & Fish in Kochi. Food are served to order. Great place to dine with family. Mouth ticking dishes with a pinch of adventure within them. Rice & Fish and its ever caring stewards make sure that you have the best fine dining experience at their place.<br/><br/>Price and Wait is worth as you are welcomed with one of the best sea food cuisines in Kochi. Thoroughly enjoyed my experience. Recommendable without a doubt.

OK..

food is good quantity is not enough <br/>

good

Quality and taste

food not delivered

Nice food

The food was too good. I go for a 4 star.

Good

The cutlet was for the name sake fish cutlet , it was actually veg cutlet and the biryani was not tasty

Quality of the food is excellent, but is overpriced.

Fish masala was very tasty

Worst experience. We ordered Prawns fry worth INR 220, we got only 6 small pieces which had only shells (covering) which I feel won't worth even 100 Rupees. Don't order the food here. Waste waste waste waste restaurant.

Nice

Have ordered hariyali combo. In the site it was written fish hariyali + pathiri + fish gravy. but in the parcel gravy was missing

not bad ok

it was the best I had recently

Good tasty fish fry<br/>

An awesome fishy lunch!😍<br/><br/>A great place for all the fish lovers out there. The bbq Fish was extremely impressive in taste where the fish was soft and tender. Had the exact flavours and it was yum. The Rice & Fish kebab biriyani was good but not that great. I felt the gravy could be much more rich in taste but the fish kebabs in it were awesome. I really liked the service and another thing I liked about is we can select the fish which we like for the barbecue. Ambience wise, really neat and innovative!❤️<br/><br/>*Must try the bbq Fish!!!<br/><br/>#foodexplorer #loveexploring #loveforfood #foodie #foodpics #foodphotography #foodigram #foodie #foodgasm
