Please do not mistake the puerile load of god-knows-what they serve here for authentic Kerala cuisine. Please give the cuisine another chance at some place better. If a mallu friend took you to this place, you can be very sure that he really really hates you.
Dont go there for the food. Dont go there for the drinks. Dont go there for the service - go there, because there is no better place to sit and kill hours of time with inane conversations, and catch glimpses of Bangalore as it used to be.
...Amravathi and Nagarjuna were the only two places that served good Andhra food. And back then, Amravathi was the better of the two. It still is, in spite of stiff competition from all the new entrants.
