Lovely food 👍 and Yaa the Ambience is toooo quite no sound Nuthing ... But food awesome keep it up guys 😇 make the place little more vibrant and lively
It was a pleasant experience to eat here. It refreshed the memories of the dayson which I went to this joint when I used to live in bandra. Although Highway Gomantak is a fav choice for many near the area, this restaurant is not bad for those who want to try keralaite cuisine. We had fish curry, veg crispy both of which were super and the must have appams . Even the indian style bhindi masala was good. I am taking off a point for poor ambience and for feeling claustrophobic as the space is quite small.
I love eating food made with coconut and rice. So, I visited this place with a friend. Appam was good and fresh, we ordered a mushroom dish with gravy. Mushrooms were very fresh and gravy was prepared with fresh coconut milk. It was simple, mild preparation but with great flavour. I liked it.
Sambhar was Stale, I ate only 2 bites and left it. I think it was from previous day or more than 2 days. This is the only reason I am giving this place 3.5 star and not 4.5.
Deserve a cheers....performed beyond our simple expectations. We have ordered Shorbha, Tangdi Kabab, Nadan Chicken and Paratha (Keralate style) and we are more than happy with 3 of the items and the price is reasonable....

Rice boat - Well this is one of the hidden gems in the capacity of bandra east dealing in kerala cuisine.
Although locating this place can be quite tricky, the landmark is few steps ahead of famous restaurant highway gomantak.
Coming to the ambience - The theme, the decor the ambience is just perfect for dinner.
The restaurant has few antiques as their main attraction apart from the huge vibrant fish aquariums at the both ends!
In background they had these malyali songs being played in a very mild and soothing way. Totally liked it!
The only issue here is the place is quite claustrophobic.
Main attraction - table napkins folded in a form of boat.
Food - This was the first time, when I came across particularly to be known as kerala cuisine, as for all of us everything sums up as South Indian cuisine.
We were greeted with a small glass of rasam as an appetizing drink.
The taste of the rasam was quite tangy as it has tamarind as one of its main ingredients followed by mix of few spices and condiments with a decent sprinkle of pepper.
Starter - paneer olathiathu
This is a traditional mix of onions and paneer shallow fried with curry leaves, green chillies and spices along with pepper.
The paneer was soft, the flavour was entact and it was served with coconut chutney and onions.
Note - the coconut chutney is made with tamarind giving it a different taste and onions are served by dabbing them into coconut milk making them more palatable.
Main course - Koonu paccha masala.
The koonu paccha masala is one of their vegetarian specialities made up of button mushrooms cooked in green masala and coconut paste.
This was served to us with appams.
Appam can be called as a brother of dosa with thick base and soft texture.
Quite different than our ordinary mushroom masala, the coconut as the main ingredient of the curry gave it a different taste.
Recommended.
Veg saddhya - (Vegetarian thali)
This includes 2 servings of appams with one serving of rice, dal, sambhar, curd, rasam,two types of Avial and pacchakari accompanied by above mentioned coconut chutney and onion salad followed by papad and to conclude with their sweet dish (payassam).
Must try - Avial
We were served with two types of them.
One of them was a combination of cabbage and coconut with few spices - superlike!
The other one was a mix of multiple vegetables like brinjal, raw banana and etc.
Pacchakari - Banana preparation resembling to bhajiya with a dominant flavour of garlic again-superlike!
The saddhya is a huge meal by itself so only recommend to people with huge appetite.
Note - All their preparations are quite salty than the normal salt consuming level. Please mention it to them beforehand about the salt content.
In the end as desert we concluded with semiya payassam, highly recommend this vermicelli kheer served piping hot with infusion of dry fruits.
Staff - Very polite and welcoming the staff is suggestive as well as informative got to know many things about the cuisine through them.
Although the only drawback of this place could be that it's time consuming.
The service is quite on a slow pace needs to be bit faster.
Value for money - the restaurant is decently prized with few items being on a higher side also.
Rice boat with it's Excellent delivery of taste, wide menu, prompt staff and fair portion size gains a highly recommended status.
Ratings based on - Taste and ambience
Very good food but landmark could be made more visible. Service took a bit of time but the wait was worthwhile as food was sumptuous. Will visit often for a leisurely lunch and dinner.
