Karthiyani

I had wanted to visit this restaurant for some time now. My parents and my wife had visited a few times in the past which drove up my anticipation even more. We eventually went for lunch today. We had to wait for about 10 minutes before getting a table. They only serve meals and seafood. We had fried clams, red snapper and squid. The food tasted excellent. I especially liked the fish and clams. The price isn't cheap but it's not too expensive either. The service was pretty good. The food was served pretty quickly. Overall, we had a very good experience.

Excellent meals, we ordered the prawn roast and kandari neyimeen. Both were very spicy and fresh. The food was hot and the service was prompt. Expect a wait time of about 15 mins to be seated( that’s for a Tuesday) The location is right on the highway and easy access to the restaurant. Parking for no more than 10 cars so we had to park on the other side of the road because the entire stretch is a no parking zone. Meals were priced at 100 , Prawns at 270 and the seer fish at a whopping 700 but that makes up for the size of the piece they serve. Overall a highly recommended place but expect very spicy food.

We reached Karthiyayini on a Saturday afternoon for lunch around 1.30, we however thought the place will be rushed but we had a peaceful ambience to eat and there was no rush. We ordered the meals and specials and everything was on point and fresh. Overall it’s a great place and cent percentage recommended.

A very good place for seafood lovers. We went on a public holiday so it was really crowded. We had to wait around 30 mins for a table for 2. But the service was fast. We had meals which is a combination of red rice, fish curry/sambhar/sambharam, one type of thoran, prawns chammanthi kind of dish, a sweet pickle like curry and moru kootan. Everything was tasty. Additionally we bought prawns roast and avoli fry. Both were tasty and the quantity of prawns was goid enough.
