7.4/10Indian

It's Kerala food in Midtown, and the seafood is what people go for. The is the dessert that gets named. Regulars call it the more authentic option among the newer south Indian places, though a few think Kidilum cooks better.

    replying to u/w4y2n1rv4n4: How did it compare to Chatti? Malayalee here, thought Chatti was good but not great. Their sambar cocktail was incredible though will say.

    “definitely better flavor-wise, but I think Kidilum feels more focused on being innovative while Chatti is focused on authenticity?”

    “I like Chatti quite a bit. Doesn’t get as much buzz as many other places but really delicious southern Indian food with a lot of interesting seafood options.”

    replying to u/Ok-Psychology-2621: After finishing our 2 appetizers, we really loved one of them n asked for one more, even if mains were on the way, it could come out whenever … they didn’t allow us bc it would throw the kitchen off. #semma Then I asked for it as a dessert, and I was told a NO again. Since when do restaurants not allow to order as you like? We never ate there before, so weren’t familiar with the dishes nor their sizes etc why can’t we just experience & enjoy it? Total turn off

    “We went to Chatti where we ordered paratha with a not curry dish (mind you, my friend and I are both Indian) and someone higher up in the restaurant came by to ask us how the food was (it was great)”
