Review Karthiyani - Kochi (Cochin)

This is a nice place at kochi for lunch with seafood specials. It would be best to call there in advance before going because it will be very crowded when you reach there and you might have to wait there for nearly an hour to get a seat. Once you get your seat you quickly get the items you ordered. Never miss their seafood specials like Karimeen, Tiger Prawns, Squid, Kaalanji etc. Dont miss their naruneendi sarbath after the lunch to cool you down. Its a bit pricy but it's worthy.

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.

We tried vedikettu fry, karimeen roast, kalaanji curry, avoli curry all are very fresh and tasty. We went on a Saturday afternoon had a waiting time of 30 minutes it was a huge rush on that day. I couldn't find any negative except the expensive bill. It is a must try spot if you are seafood lover. Enjoyed the food a lot.

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.

Best sea food, non vegetarian restaurant in kochi. The restaurant is run by very experienced people and they have the passion to serve food. The service is exceptional and very prompt. Very nice taste and healthy food. The atmosphere is very tidy, family supportive and kids friendly. A lot of movie stars and celebrities come here to enjoy the food. Good parking facilities available and best security support.

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.

Its an upscale restaurant serving seafood varieties and traditional kerala meals. The prices are on higher side and the service and food was okay. I sea food delicacy’s portion size is good and the marination is also excellent. Usually on weekends there will be a queue, and parking also will be an issue.

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.

Heard a lot of positive reviews from the moment we landed in Kochi and obviously we had to try this place out… A seafood lovers destination, the food was amazing… we ordered Karimeen and Kalanji fry along with Prawns roast two variations and Koondal Kandhari… all were tasty and delicious…

For those who have an affinity for seafood, Karthayini in Kochi is an absolute gem that warrants a visit. Especially if you're seeking a delightful lunch experience, this place comes highly recommended. One of the notable aspects is the ever-changing menu, which ensures that each visit brings a fresh and exciting culinary adventure. During our recent visit, we had the pleasure of indulging in a variety of dishes. We opted for the meals, accompanied by Avoli Fry (Silver Pomfret) and Prawns Roast. The meals were an exquisite assortment of flavors, including rice, aromatic sambar, cooling curd, zesty pickle, a delectable prawns chutney, a tantalizing pineapple curry, a nutritious payar thoran, and a rich fish coconut gravy. Every bite was a burst of delightful tastes that showcased the restaurant's prowess in seafood cuisine. In terms of pricing, the meals were quite reasonable at 90 rupees, while the Avoli Fry was priced at 400 rupees, and the Prawns Roast at 270 rupees. The value for money was certainly evident considering the quality and taste of the food. It's important to note that our visit coincided with a holiday, which led to a waiting time of approximately 30 minutes before we secured seats. Despite this, the service was exemplary, making the wait worthwhile. The staff was attentive, friendly, and efficient, contributing positively to the overall dining experience. To sum up, Karthayini Kochi is a seafood lover's paradise that promises a memorable culinary journey. The ever-changing menu adds an element of surprise, ensuring that each visit is unique. The meals and accompanying dishes we tried were exceptionally delicious, with the pricing being quite reasonable. While the holiday rush led to a short wait, the outstanding service compensated for it. If you're in search of a place to savor delectable seafood in Kochi, Karthayini should undoubtedly be on your list.

Even its lil bit pricy taste make it visit again. You have to wait atleast 15mins on weekends but no one will stand behind your chairs make your dine comfortable. The token system to get a chair attract me because you can enjoy your meal perfectly.

One of the best seafood lunch I've had in recent time. Have to wait for some time to get in, as it's bit crowded. Tried specials as Chemeen Roast and Squid Kanthari, taste wise and quantity wise it was enough for 2.

The food and ambience is great.. you need to wait for dine in and I must say it’s worth the wait!! the Kalanji fish fry has taken my heart away.. this place is surely booked for me for my next kochi visit.. Even the prawns chutney was great..

Food served is fresh and tasty. They only serve seafood and meals. The rate of fish items is a little high but not overpriced. The queue system is maintained in a proper way. Good one! One thing i noted is their sarbath quantity is too much. They could have made it half quantity and priced it less. Now it is 50 for one glass. Make it to 200ml and price it 25 or 30rs. Avoli fry 450rs Kakka fry 120rs

Tastewise this is one of the best seafood places in Kochi. The crowd of people waiting outside shows how trending the place is. Ambience is okayish but could be better.

Must visit place for sea food lovers!! Kozhuva fry (anchovy) was simply amazing .. nice n crispy fried in coconut oil!! Neymeen pollichathu(seer fish ) was tasty as well .. meals served here are pretty decent .. the fish curry served with rice was tangy and tasty!! The person who was serving the food had a pleasant smile on her face which made this experience even more wonderful !! Do expect a little bit of waiting time here , as it does get crowded. There is ample car parking facility here but it get filled up rather quickly.

Its a small crowded place.. The rest is luck.... 😊Expected,super tastey 'fish dish', but was disappointed. They may have one or two special dishes. Find if it fits your seafood palate... Parking on the exit road of NH and the rough gate keeper are not my choice.....
