Superb ambience! Interesting menu which gives one, a hint of vegan purity....kudos to the primate team .. loved the food!... definitely a must try boutique food outlet in Cochin
For all those who want to try tasty raw vegan food at kochi on an occasional or regular basis, this is the only place where you get it. It's that simple. ☺
Anils dream and pineapple boat were the dishes we went for after a heavy dinner from Hunters.
The owner was very kind enough to explain to us what the dishes are. Both the dishes were fresh and healthy. The quantity was also good.
I loved the hospitality more than the food.
They also gave us chocolates to taste and comment on. I'll definitely visit again
went their with friends few last year. The menu looked familiar as it contained names like taco, salad etc.. Tried couple of dishes suggested by them. Food was uncooked and included few pastes, But tasted ok. One thing is sure they've definitely researched well. The guy who promised himself as a primate practitioner said he has never been ill since he switched primate.
Really nice to find things like this in kochi. Raw food actually tastes nice. A really interesting place. Must try the food it's a wonderful experience.
This!! This is one place you guys have to check out for sure and I can guarantee that this is will be one of a kind experience!
You may or may not like the food.. But the food is different.. Totally different! They use pure raw things and they don't cook anything. Yes. That's right. They don't Cook. This is the pure raw food at your table. From Chocolate shake to pasta.. ! It was kind of hard for me to get used with the taste at first mainly because I never had raw food like this.
Go and check it out. The host Mr. Eldho Pachilakkadan is one of the best host I ever met.
Fun fact : His daughter of 3 or 5 years ( Forgot the age, sorry! ) never had any cooked food till now. Just veg raw food.!!
Initially I thought this place was raw-vegan-organic. Turns out it's just raw. If you're a newbie to raw food realm, the food would sure surprise you. It's a refreshing change indeed in Cochin. The food is filling and most of them very tasty.
Do try : the smoothies, fruit raita
Pros : 1. Healthy alternative to the junk we usually eat! 2. Great ambience and concept 3. Good service 4. Tasty food
Cons: 1. Expensive for non-organic food.

I never review restaurants, but I'm beginning to feel like all the really good places, or at least the ones that I find are authentic in that they serve amazing food aren't able to stand the test of time. Not because they aren't good but because people really haven't acquired a taste for them; which is why I find myself responsible thus to write about my experience at all the places to eat that I've come to love so that more people eat there, like them, and hence, they stick around for longer. Primate is one such restaurant. The food is delicious, raw, super healthy, and might I add, incredibly authentic, hearty, ingenious and fulfilling. You go home full and energised. When it comes to the taste of the food, I'd say you can't compare apples and oranges, so comparing a Big Mac and a burger from here would be doing a disservice to each, especially because neither set out to be replacements or substitutes for the other.
So it's quite unfair to crib about lettuce wraps tasting like raw lettuce!
I find the restaurant to be very affordable and hope they last, add more items to their menu, and are able to create a following of patrons, who, like me, value the clean eating lifestyle.
More power to them, and see you next week, Juicy raw burger and strawberry juice!
Ever since i read about Primate, i wanted to pay a visit. The concept was fresh. Raw food. And i tell you, it is wonderful. The people behind the scenes have done a wonderful job setting this up. And going by their words, there are a variety of new dishes coming your way including biriyanis which are uncooked and raw. Eldho Pachilakkadan, the owner was kind enough to explain us the concept and his life experiences and we had a wonderful informative enriching session, to be frank. The food also tasted pretty well to my suprise and over everything, this is one place in Kochi which serves 100% healthy original food ! Do pay a visit and you wont be disappointed :)
A wonderful & different place to be,a must try, wonderful ambience, hats of to the guy who created it. Little expensive,but worth trying.u will enjoy it
Went to this place after reading an article in The Hindu newspaper,its commendable, you wont believe that the food they serves are completely raw, we should give the freedom to our tongue to get into the real beauty of their specialities, would really recommend to each one of you to try this, staffs are like friends and never felt boring being at the best spot of panampilly nagar, beautifully designed interior, nature oriented seatings and lots and lots to describe, a must visit place. Good job team & hope to see more branches of yours and would live to try your biriyani once

My first ever experience with raw food. And I'd say this place is much more than just another eatery.
With all this unhealthy food that we have - most of us are walking talking bodies of sugar, carbs, oil, chemicals - and all things nice and yummy. :D
I mean, really - if it tastes good , you can bet it's unhealthy.
Amidst all this crazy food joint boom that kochi has been experiencing in recent times - I think PRIMATE is a very refreshing and a healthy necessity for the town.
That feel of satisfaction after having some yummy chicken dum biryani - DON'T expect that here.
BUT nevertheless - this is a must-try place to experience a very different and brilliant concept of raw food. Yes. Behold - they say healthy food could be tasty too. And now , having been here - I believe it.
Honestly, Me being a sucker for good old UNhealthy food - wouldn't come here very often - but it's definitely worth visiting once a while to have some refreshing tasty healthy food.
Must mention - Raita. Have it. And then ask them how they made it.
Thanks to Mr. Eldho and Mr. Rakesh for giving us an insight into raw food revolution and what they are trying to sell through this new idea. And also for answering a hundred questions that anyone would have after having heard how they don't use so many things that we can't dream of living without - but still make some amazing food.
Great idea guys.
Very tasty raw food. Had a fruit salad and a pasta made of zucchini. The ground cashew and spices make the food very tasty. Inspired to make these at home. My toddler enjoyed the wooden ambience and fruits.
Have you tried raw vegan food? Primate offers raw vegan delight. Eldho, who runs the first raw vegan restaurant in India took us through a guided philosophy tour about why raw vegan food is the natural food for humans. No cooking, no artificial flavour, no milk products, no meat - pure guilt free stuff. Try a day to see the difference.
Primate is a specially arranged cafe with its own texture of art... its quiet a good place to visit... wheelchair facility are all absent but it would create a change in ambiance.... nd good to have a cup of coffee
The very first and the best pakka vegan raw food resto. Must try.
It's not a hangout place but it's an experience where u could fill in urself with a new way of life. Just try giving a healthy start.
A wonderful place for people who wants to have raw veg food
It's different and it's nice
