Review The Chef's Studio - Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum)

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the charming eatery nestled within the Kerala Art and Craft Centre, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations. While the menu boasts a limited variety of options, each dish presented was a delightful masterpiece. The reasonable prices caught my attention, and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. Every bite was a testament to the skilled chefs who crafted these culinary delights. From the first savory bite to the last satisfying morsel, I found myself immersed in a symphony of flavors that danced on my palate. What truly set this place apart, however, was the impeccable service. The staff's attentiveness and genuine warmth added to the overall experience, making me feel truly valued as a guest. It's rare to find a place where the service matches the excellence of the food, but this eatery managed to achieve just that. While the variety may be limited, I found every dish to be a worthy choice. Whether you're a connoisseur of traditional cuisine or simply seeking a delicious meal, this hidden gem is a must-visit. The combination of delectable fare, reasonable prices, and exceptional service make it a standout destination for anyone visiting the Kerala Art and Craft Centre. Don't miss the opportunity to savor the flavors and enjoy a memorable dining experience.

The restaurant offers a combination of buffet and à la carte options. During our weekend visit, only the buffet was available at a reasonable price of 400, tax included. The menu featured traditional meals, fish curry, Payasam, chicken roast, and chapati. The establishment is clean, well-maintained, and conveniently situated inside the Kerala Arts and Crafts Village. Ample parking was available, and there was no entrance fee for restaurant patrons. The clean restrooms added to the overall positive experience.

Good restaurant. Food is okay. When we reached, there were limited menu options due to some reservations. This should be improved. Also, we would need to wait a lot to see some serving staff to order something or even to get the bills. The washrooms were sparkling clean.

The Chef's Studio...Had a great time here...Absolutely loved everything about this place. Nestled away in the quiet part near Kovalam, away from all the hustle and bustle with ample parking space. The ambience is quiet and calm. The food is delicious and well presented. The experience is over all good. Dining area is spacious. We had Lunch, Dinner and evening Tea... Non veg dishes are delicious...I have one suggestion, Please try to add more evening snacks...Now the choices are very few... The staffs are friendly and helpful. The taste, presentation, ambience and service all are good. Visited many times and I must say it's worth a visit. I wish the best of luck and hope they maintain this fabulous atmosphere for future guests.

A beautiful variety of dishes in the South Indian bowl meal was sumptuous. Service was great.

Hygienic restaurant. Buffet and other food menus available according to the programmes held in the premises. We can pre-book restaurant for private dining and functions. Can accommodate 50-100 people at a time. Hotel helpful during concert and other events.

We had the thali meal which was a fusion of styles from.across Kerala. Each dish was perfectly prepared with just the right amount of spices and the payasam to finish was divine. In addition the staff were friendly and attentive. We will.definiitely come again - it was like a mini gourmet holiday!

We were so lucky to be here on Onam. The Saadya we had here was too good to believe. All the 40 items they served were well prepared and super tasty. The best one I've had till date. The manager Mr. Shaji was welcoming and accomodated us without prior booking. His warm hospitality is much appreciated. We felt so blessed today. Leaving Kerala with happy memories.

It’s a cozy place to spend an evening with your beautiful family. Food quality is well maintained and can be easily provided to children too. I visited with family many times, the boys from Kannur are very friendly. My little one is a big fan of this restaurant.

Very pleased to come across this restaurant, it's a very clean place, delicious food especially the thalassery chicken, we really enjoyed our lunch buffet and the staffs are very good and professional.

Restaurant is located inside the Kerala Arts & Crafts Village. Ambience and Service is top notch. All staffs were very courteous. Food is prepared on order hence expect a delay of around 15-20 minutes. Washrooms are very neat.

Great food, great people! value for money. Do visit if you’re in Kerala! :D

Amazing authentic food, staff is really nice and polite. Washrooms are so clean and neat. We had kerala sadhya and it was delicious. I’m glad visited this arts and crafts museums..

Good food with moderate prices, good ambience and service. Waited for food almost 30 mins but you will get fresh food

Chefs studio is a superb restaurant located inside the Kerala Arts and crafts village campus. 👌 Ambience is too good ,neat and calm. Food is available on order ,Ala carte menu. Prices are reasonable since it is subsidized. Service needs special mention. Parking space is available in plenty and not crowded.

Indeed it was a wonderful lunch experience at The Chef's studio with family. The biriyanis and veg curries were yummy. My littel one loved the fruit salad and chicken lolipop, thank you Chef Praveen foe tje delicious spread. Thank you Amal for the wonderful hospitality 😀

We were on our way to Poovar and found this place in Google maps. The road to this place from highway is in really bad condition. But the moment you enter the gate to the village its different. Well designed well constructed village. I would say the entrance to the restaurant is like a treasure hunt. One will really doubt whether going to right place. Once you enter the restaurant its again different. Warm welcome by staff. Big Hall with plenty of seats. Order taking and execution is wonderful. Not much delay there. Food was excellent. Serving size reasonable. The bill was very reasonable and much less compared to Trivandrum rates. Met the Executive chef also. Very friendly and courteous staff. We were not planning to visit the artisans pavilion but ended up seeing and purchasingsome items. It would have been a loss if we didn't. Worth visiting. Areas to improve: Menu not available. Bit more directions to restaurant. Wash room very spacious but needs bit more cleaning. The whole place needs more publicity so that people will be aware. I recommend anyone going through this area to spare some time to visit.

Amazing food and great service! Loved the Kappa biryani and fish mango curry! 😋 Will come back again.
